Would you date an overweight girl/guy if you liked her/his personality?

[teddybeer]

I voted no but love is an involuntary reflex. The heart wants what the heart wants. But the hard on wants what every hard on wants a fit beautiful, promiscous girl! I am very particular. At this juncture of my life I don't have the time or the inclination to get into a sexless, loveless relationship. So I'm different and carry myself differently. I certainly wouldn't belittle her or anyone else for that matter. I have only love in my heart. I know what I want and there is no chance of compromise. My life has been a long parade of blonde haired, blue eyed, big busted, bimbos with especially promiscuous proclivities. It's quite frankly the only type suitable to my lifestyle.

I’ve dated some overweight girls because they carry themselves well or know how to highlight their looks effectively which makes the difference.

I don’t mind it but it really depends if she’s amazing on the personality and makes herself look elegant then I’m sticking with her

[sjoes006]

Well... come on, the girl in your pic isn't overweight. She has tits and untrained arms at best.

Show a middle body pic if you want a true answer. My answer is yes, though only to a certain degree. I've dated a bigger guy around 200 something with submuscular fat and some above muscle fat. We was able to run and be active enough so it worked.

He did carry a hanky for sweat on hikes. Overweight yes but obese would be harder because of life constraints. You can't have a normal life and be obese.

I naturally am attracted more to skinny guys so for me, I dont see myself being attracted to a overweight person. Also fitness is quite a important part of my life. I value being healthy and fit so I feel like we may not have that common if he is overweight.

[RJGraveyTrain]

Personally, no. If it's a bit of pudge, fine, but full-blown overweight just isn't what I'm into. I need to be physically attracted to the person I'm with.

[Belorum]

Depends on how overweight. Obese - no. Slightly above normal weight - yes. A little more meat on the belly is pretty comfortable for cuddling :3

[PrincessPie]

If i liked his face and still found him attractive sure i would.
Long as i can see attractiveness in a person it doesn't bother me.

[Shane_B]

Yes I would date a girl/ women if they was bigger than whats classed as average.
But everybody puts pressure into looking good rather than being a good decent person instead.
As long as I love them for them.
None of their insecurities matter to me personally.
But can a girl/ women do the same for guys?
Doubt it.
Cause if a guy is considered fat/ ugly happens to stay single without even trying. Like me for example...
I ain't good enough for no girl/ women cause I don't have the looks/ attributes they go for.
I have feelings to, I am f**king human after all.
I ain't even fat or skinny, I'm f**king normal I'd like to think.
Girls/ women have all the power when it comes to dating guys.
Guys like me don't even get the time of day.

For me political views come first and foremost. Find someone that is mature, logical and open to debate if you do not share political views. I am a newlywed and the most important deciding factor for husband material for me was politics. After that personality (encompasses his interactions with others including family), looks (encompasses what our future children would look like with our combined visible genetics).

[Nomado]

Yes and I did a few times. Because a person was cool. But I really love skinny or fit girls and those kind of relationship always came in a (sub) conscious scorn for my situation and myself and also some extent of envy and dissatisfaction for this matter, even though a person could be awesome. it's hard. I've found a very broad solution for this dilemma though. it's not ALWAYS a solution but it works often for me.

[Coffinspire]

No I wouldn't be able to. I'm a firm believer in nature doing it's thing and the way you look is an outward representation of your genetics. So theoretically, someone who is better looking/more symmetrical/more fit has more desirable genetics than others. The whole point is to produce strong, healthy offspring that can eventually grow up and have no problems finding a mate and producing strong healthy offspring of their own.

It's not mean, it's instinct. Men seem to be a little more flexible than others because they are wired to reproduce as much as they possibly can, also instinct.

[MrLogical]

Attraction has to be there to begin with for anyone. If someone is attractive to someone else, there is a chance of course. Some people are attracted to larger people, aka chubby chasers.

Long story short, yes, if i find them to still be attractive. I prefer thinner women (my girlfriend is 5ft2 and 100 pounds) and i think she is gorgeous, but i still tell her she needs to gain weight because it is healthier for her.

[fashionguy17]

I've met a lot of big women with great personalities, but I wouldn't date them. Most big women are big because they don't like working out. You can come at me and tell me that people have weight problems, and that may be true, but you can always do something about it. I've seen people go from weighing 400 lbs to 170 lbs. It's entirely possible to lose weight, but it really depends on you.

My last girlfriend told me that she used to be 350, but she decided to dedicate her life to being healthy and she lost over 200 pounds and is now a fitness instructor.

I take care of myself, and I appreciate it when a woman takes care of herself as well. If you don't like working out, being fit and leading a healthy lifestyle, it won't work between us.

[kilowatt04]

I actually prefer fat women as long as they carry themselves well and seem like they take good care of themselves. I would still date a skinny woman, or a seriously obese woman, if she was really nice and likeable and was into the same stuff I am. Yes looks matter, but I'm not picky about what size of women can look good.

[Bandit74]

I wouldn't.

1. I find it physically unnattractive. I don't expect or even want a girl who is runway model thin, but fat is gross to me.

2. Most women gain weight when they get into a relationship so even if she is somewhat attractive despite being fat, she will probably get a lot fatter within a year or two.

3. Fat women are hypocrites. They expect thin guys to overlook their weight and give them a chance when they wouldn't do the same for a fat guy.

[Goofy_Flamin]

Yes honestly now i am and at first i wasn't attracted to his looks bc he's a bit chubby and that's not normally what i go for but he wasn't really over weight or fat just his face is chubby but as i started to love him.. I don't how it happen but i suddenly got attracted to everything about him and never want to let him go. ❤

[BoyIfYouDont666]

Why are people so dishonest though? Like what do you get out of telling people their weight is just a number and that it doesn't matter, when you in reality would never give an overweight person the time of the day?

[SirHac]

I would but unless I work near her and am forced to interact or she does something interesting it's not likely I would find out enough about her personality to date her regardless of weight I'm Far more likely to approach the more attractive skinny or average girls just by looks.

[Anon-ymous1]

I'm amazed at all the people who voted "yes." Attraction is what leads to a relationship. Without it, you ain't going anywhere. It may seem appealing at first if you're lonely and desperate, but years from now? You will regret your decision.

[GrayWhi2]

Depends on how much overweight. A little overweight is not a problem but too much is not healthy.
Looks and personality both are important. Being too fat and not trying to lose it indicates that she doesn't take care of herself. And it's kinda hard to care for someone who doesn't care about herself.

[Fusion83]

A woman's age weight or body size doesn't define who she is, its her personality that defines her
As long as she is of legal age of consent and healthy there is no reason to not take a chance and get to know about her just because she is either younger or older, skinny or BBW

[LunaJ]

being friends & going out, sure.
date? no. why would i give him hope when it wouldn't work out simple cos my lifestyle?

but first, define overweight. a little extra is no problem. having a lot extra weight, is.
like the girl on your pic here, is normal with a bit of extra by me

[Máiiréad]

Slightly overweight/ chubby is okay. But it isn't something I typically go for. I find myself more attracted to tall skinny guys for some unknown reason. Just something I noticed over the years.

[melanieeeB]

No, i'm personally fit and I do look out for someone who is also fit.
When I meet someone who is overweight, I see the person either as a friend or nothing. Depending on their personality

[AzureGirl]

If I was attracted to him then sure. But I'm not going to date someone I'm not attracted to just because he's a nice guy.

[Dxk007]

Yes, we'll be friends but, it depends we might date or not. I'll just tell her that she is my friend, I can get a lot of girls but, I like her. So, if she likes me, she'd have work hard and get back in shape.
Because, she probably won't accept me as a fat guy if she was fit.
