10-20 pounds overweight is not a big deal. Meeting at a gym probably wouldn't change my interest level much. Their weight wouldn't have deterred me in the first place.
If someone was seriously overweight to the point where it interfered with my ability to find them attractive, then maybe meeting at a gym or otherwise knowing that they work out might make me more likely to consider dating them. Knowing that they are taking care of themselves and maybe working towards a healthier body weight would definitely add to their attractiveness.
Personality trumps all, though. If I like someone's personality in a gym enough to want to date them, I will probably like it just as much without the gym. So it's hard to say how much I'd really be affected. But it IS a plus to know that someone takes care of themselves.
It would make a difference. At least, I would know they are interested in getting in shape and being healthy. Hell, if they can make me laugh I don't care what they look like but the gym is certainly a plus
Wouldn't really change my interest, but that's cause I don't care if they are overweight in the first place so *shrugs* and those one here that claim that are ignorant twats. Ignore them. They don't understand a damn thing and live in their own little bubble thinking that EVERYONE who is fat is just lazy or something.
I'd love it if I met someone at the gym, Working out together is a huge turn on regardless of how good of shape you are in.

Okay, if I met someone at a gym and they're not attractive to me I don't think I'd date them. First impressions are important and it's that initial attraction that keeps me interested. I don't remember ever being attracted to an overweight guy. It may sound shallow but that's just me. It's different if we were in a relationship and they started to gain some weight...but men I'm attracted to are more active and care more about their appearance and health.
Lol this is a weird question. That's like saying, will I like them if I have hope they'll change? I think that's what you're saying. I don't think meeting at a gym would make my like or dislike an overweight person more or less. I'd date someone overweight if I liked them! Personality is what matters. I mean, you have to be attracted to them, but I still think some bigger guys are definitely attractive! Working out at the gym is good for anyone.
No, I don't have an interest in dating them. I will only consider dating them if they were already in shape. It sounds really mean and shallow, but I'm just being honest.
A, because I'm not interested in very overweight people no matter where we meet. Its great that they're trying to lose the weight but I'm not going to date someone that might EVENTUALLY be attractive to me because its never a guarantee.
I didn't vote because I'm dating someone who happens to be overweight(I'm not talking 300lbs+ lol)and you know what? It doesn't bother me like I thought it would.
:)
With a pleasant personality ;. people become 10 x more attractive :)
that would definitely make a difference.
in fact, I would date a chubby girl if she agreed to try to get in shape.
That's not incredibly overweight. I would like the fact that they're doing something about it and attempting to keep fit and look after themselves.
I said other, because weight doesn't affect my views on people. I mean as long as they're aren't obese
Depends if she had any potential to look good after losing weight
I think women would be more apt to be okay with it than men would.
Yes. If it wasn't a shot-term thing.
