Are similar physiques more likely to pair up, unconscious attraction, etc?

[chocolatesinpockets]

I'm talking are slim men more likely to pair up or feel unconscious attraction. It's all genes or looks or personality or is it all just nonsense? LOLs. Like, people just find attractive, who they find attractive.

I think so

I've seen it so, on couples I've seen in real life

No, I don't think so (why)

No answer

Personally when I was in the military I saw a lot of military guys who were in shape married to absolute whales of obese women.

I haven't really seen too much of the opposite where a normal woman is with some huge fat dude but I suppose it happens just much more rarely.

Even in the regular civilian world I see the same. Huge monstrous women with skinny or even fit men. I don't know why we don't see it go the other way hardly ever. Might have seen an example of a huge man and a small woman online.

I do often see fit couples. It makes some sense. A lot of fit people are just below average people who got fit to make themselves look better. They tend to get together I've noticed.

Of course the most beautiful people tend to get together in my experience. It's hot girl and hot guy most of the time.

I think people pair up based on sexual value. Hot people with hot people. Weak spindly skinny guys, or fit military guys who are in reality, weirdos, with the disgustingly obese women. They match in terms of sexual reproductive/socially determined value, not so much their body types.

A guy can be hot but if he's a shy weirdo his value goes way down. A shy weirdo woman doesn't take away from her value but if she's obese it does.

You didn't call them Depndapotamus?

Omg lmao. That's a good one though.

Naw, I just felt bad for those dudes. Like I would rather be dead than date a woman like that.

I'm into slim to chubby women and men and luckily people with those body types seem attracted to me. I'm fat so that doesn't really work for the body type looks for the same body type.
Personality is more important than body type anyway.
But neither option is a given, each person has their own preferences.

My dad is thin and fit, and my mom is heavier.
My aunt is normal size and/or fit, while my uncle is quite overweight.

On the other hand, my brother is healthy and so is his wife.

I think it's super different to each person and what they want in a relationship and what they find attractive.

[AsaKyo]

I'm curvy, but I like slim or slightly bigger guys, so maybe, maybe not

[HighValue]

Nah. I've seen plenty of couples where one is very fat (50 + pounds over weight) and the other one is skinny.

I am big, 6' tall and lift weights so I am obviously thicker than many other people with wide shoulders too and I prefer tiny skinny petite girls the most.

They're not. A man's attraction to women is wide range, a women's attraction is not.

Women aren't attracted to men with the same genetic features as her. And women aren't attracted to men with genetic features inferior to her.

You can only be genetically better than the woman. It's what's socially acceptable and it's what women expect.

Take it from the experience of an overweight 5'6 guy.

That has never been the case with me.

[Aquariusmystery]

Nah I’m a bit chubby and my boyfriend is skinny af
