Have you ever met a guy/girl that didn't have the best body, but could tell that the potential was there?

For example a girl that is overweight but you could tell that if she lost weight she would have a great body? Or a guy that is really skinny but has great body shape and if he was more muscular he would be really hot? What would you think of them? Would that stop you from being attracted to them? I know when I meet someone I see the potential in the physical and personality and that is what attracts me to them.

Nope absolutely not. Attraction is attraction. You have got to give them a chance, and you never know, maybe once a relationship gets going, she'll want to get into shape for you, so that she can get even closer to you. There is more to people than their outer shell, and let's say a month down the line, the attraction whines down, you can break up, but it's worth it to take a shot and maybe find the best relationship you have ever had rather than miss out on something because something as shallow as someone being a little overweight. Plus you can motivate each other, saying that we'll work out together and get fit together, letting her know a lot that she's beautiful and sexy.

i just take people for what they are and don't look at people in terms of improvements. like "oh if he was more muscular he'd be hot". I'd just look at him as OK or slightly cute but not someone I'm attracted to. I'm overweight and I ran into a guy who I believe had the same mindset as your and I have to say it was very patronizing. If you are not attracted to me for how I am as is, that's fine, but don't try to date me visualizing how hot you think I'd be once I lost 30 pounds. You should like someone for how they are, and if not find someone you do like

My cousins girlfriend left him after like 3 years in a relationship together and said that she couldn't tolerate him being overweight. He's chubby at best, not fat. He is still so messed up over this. He was so good to her and they seemed to have a great relationship, but she just changed.

potential to have a great body?...last I checked, anyone has that potential. just depends on how hard they work on their body

I would NOT stop liking them and if we were going out I would try and give him all the confidence in the world(thats if he isn't happy the way he looks) and I would even work out with him to show him that I really care

You can't look at someone and know that.
