Would you date an overweight girl/guy if you liked her/his personality?
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
Thanks for most helpful
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.
Mate.. i didn't put this picture!
GAG administrators did.
I shouldve uploaded pictures on my own. Ughhhh
Uh, she's overweight.
@Anon-ymous1 she has overly drawn pout lips, bobs and an arm that at this angle I can't tell if it is muscle or what.
Hip to waist ratio decides attractiveness and healthiness. Fat ratio decides who's overweight. This pic doesn't say much other than she isn't a stick. Her face isn't fat.
I really can't say without seeing her middle body.
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.
Oh please dont get your panties in a knot.
You are 41 and act like a child who cannot get his way. Not everyone will find everyone else attractive. At your age I thought you would know this.
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.
What about permanant disfigurement?
@olyjollyroger Such as?
Depends on how overweight. Obese - no. Slightly above normal weight - yes. A little more meat on the belly is pretty comfortable for cuddling :3

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.
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.
Think about it. For a long time being overweight was a sign of beauty because it meant that that person can aquire enough food. Only in the last one, two hundred years this changed. So by nature you should be attracted to overweight people, and only our society changed that, because you grew up learning different beauty ideals.
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.
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.
Can those who dis-liked my comment, can you at least say why?
Because this was my genral opinion from my point of view when it comes to dating in genral.
Would girls/ women date guys who are overweight them selves?
Cause I constantly get rejected based on 'looks', yet I have probably the best personality compared to some guys.
But it don't seem fair girls/ women want to be accepted the way they are but can't do the same for guys like me.
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.
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. ❤
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?
I always ask this question lol The world we live in now we have to be extra careful not to offend anyone lest you get a target on your back "just like they do"
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.
You say it like an overweight person can't be attractive
That's cus 99% can't
Obvious exaggeration.
Ok ok 95%
@IntoTheFlame
You're right, I did make it sound that way.
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.
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
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
I don't think I could honestly, no matter how great his personality if I was not sexually attracted to him it would not work in the long run. I might try it, but I don't think it would last as I simply do not find that attractive.
As long as it’s not hugely overweight sure... like at 5’6 anything under 160lbs is fine.
Yes. Depends on how overweight though. Chuby is fine. Thick is fine. Very obese is not.
The reason is 2 fold. 1. Personality matters more. And 2. Im a big dude myself so I feel like that would make me a dick if I said no
I would date a chubby guy but overweight? Depends. I wouldn't date an obese guy. But if he is slightly overweight, then sure.
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.
I already have once. She was self centered, bad tempered, aggressive with deep down obvious hatred for men, used the crap out of me said I was temporary until something better came along, she found my faults but never saw hers. She kept gaining weight, (which had nothing to do with our breakup) trying to make me jealous all the time for no reason. Been there done that no.
I did.
N I didn't care about how fat he is.
Never even discussed it with him.
However he shed weight so that he could look good with me cz I was on the slimmer side.
Adore him <3
No, because, at least in my family, obesity can be an indication of a short temper and a lack of self-control. I've seen this trend on "my 600 pound Life" too, so obesity can often come with a bad personality.
Dating a guy that's overweight is fine, just not my preference? Nothing to do with the extra weight, I just don't want to experience a sick partner due to any number of illnesses. A dad-bod is fine with me
Depends on how overweight, but then again, right now I am overweight, so I have no room to be a hypocrite. That is why I am on a fitness journey. If I expect my lady to take care of her body, well then it only makes sense to take care of my own.
I think it comes down to if you find them physically attractive as well cause you cannot have a relationship if there isn't that kind of attraction
I like chubby guys/dad bods. Means my man likes to eat! And I'd love to cook for him and hang out and eat with him.
weight doesn't always have to do with everything. People always think that because your chubby or someone is fat they can't get a man or a lul lady. Weight does not define a person for heaven sake.
LOL love how women lie about this shit... no women would date such a guy only if he's got the cash... at least i'm glad to seem most men say what they feel
Omnonomnomnomnomnomn
My plus sized girlfriend everyone
And no you can't have her she is all mine
Lol wow she has a pretty face
I've seen more plus sized girls that are pretty too
Don't want her, so no worries.
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.
I want someone that puts the same interest into their health as i do. If you dont care to lose weight when you know you need to then i can't like you. Health is important.
I don't mind if she's a little overweight. But if she's morbidly obese than no
im personally not attracted to overweight men or women b/c im bisexual , but you can have a little fat on you & i wouldn't mind.. a little teddy bear is so cute lol
honestly , no. I don't need a swimsuit model, but at least be a healthy weight.
I honestly prefer overweight women. Visually, I find them more attractive and they feel nicer in bed. I know, weird coming from a bodybuilder. I'm 7% bodyfat. Someone needs some cushion somewhere. Skinny girls don't feel as good.
Lowww standards.
@Anon-ymous1 ain't that bro. What looks good on a magazine cover and what feels good in bed are 2 different things to me. My standards are high. I won't date a promiscuous woman or a woman with bad credit. Thats where my standards lie.
Guess you turned all the lights off then.
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.
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
but... exercise can change the body structure... unless he isn't suffering from any disease!!! @melanieeeB
Yeah sure, the person could start exercise, but he will probably never keep up with me
I don't mind a little weight. I would actually much rather, because they won't be so high maintenance.
Knowing that I have imperfections, I am MUCH more likely to approach someone else with other imperfections. :)
it depends on whether there is a personality that makes me forget she is overweight. i can still find woman, despite being fat, cute but if they look too overweight its hard to look over.
Maybe overweight, but I don't think I could date a fat guy. I tried since he was a nice guy and had a good personality, but I couldn't get physically attracted to him.
I've done that before, sometimes its easier than other times to forgive excessive body fat when given someone whose nice to you with similar interests & a significant degree of intelligence.
I place value on health and I'm pretty active so I doubt our lifestyles would tie in well together. I dated a guy once who wasn't very active or outdoorsy and I just became so bored so quickly, it killed any chemistry.
But that girl isn't ugly. Nor does she look that big. Yes a bit overweight but not obese.
Chill out mate. I didn't put that pic up. GAG did.
I didn't say you did. I was just giving my opinion which you asked for.
No i didn't ask about the girl in the pic
I asked if you would date an overweight or fat girl/guy
What opinion? You only gave an opinion on that girl in the pic
You didn't answer my question mate
God why is everyone on here so freakin sensitive? I pointed out that this pic doesn't really represent all overweight women/men... This is only a woman so next time make the question make more sense or dont get mad when people give opinions.
I just fuckin told you i didn't put this pic up
Why u keep talking about this fuckin pic?
Shiiiit.
You think i dont know this woman doesn't represent all overweght and fat women/men?
Get the fuck over it. Geez
You ask the question. Then get so butthurt when people comment... I keep talking about it cause its there!
Nah bro, im not butthurt by anyones comments because im not overweight
Im just curious coz i saw a hot guy with an overweight girl
And vice versa
Overweight girl
And vice versa
Well yeah if the person was attractive had nice style and was a good person and i was single then yes I would.
If I am attracted to someone, the connection overides physical attributes
"Overweight" does not mean "ugly", so your question is a bit moot. A person can be chubby and attractive at the same time.
Which features we finds attractive is also depending on the person. I've a preference for slim and fit people.
I have already done so plenty of times. And they were the sweetest and most protective people I ever knew.
Depends how overweight. Overweight can be an indicator of not looking after oneself (and before any haters jump in, I know it's not the only cause of overweight) which is an issue for me.
I need to be attracted if I'am well yes I guess? But I don't find fat people attractive so... No.
Yeah and I have done that before. And the guy I used to date was overweight but surprisingly he turned into a complete jerk after losing weight because other girls began to notice him more. So we eventually broke up
Depends, there's overweight and there's obese. Overweight maybe, obese unlikely.
Probably not cuz I don’t feel attracted to overweight girls.
Mmm... yes. But I have to like love his personality.
Honestly probably not, that's pretty far from my type like literally the exact opposite because I'm a fan of super petite.
Chubby yes overweight no
Otherwise average is best in my opinion
Absolutely. Personality carries more weight than a perfect body might.
Fat girls have the highest standards out of any other women. So even if most of us wanted to they would reject us.
Sure. I've been attracted to overweight guys before.
No, because personality does not make up for an unhealthy lifestyle and bad personal choices.
