Can you be honest here, would you reject a person from the opposite sex as a potential partner just because they are overweight?

Like just overweight and no other reason besides that

[HawkPerception]

Yes. And it's a fair preference to have. I live as healthy a life as I can.

I'm am pretty strict about what I eat and drink. I almost never have sugars unless it's from fruit or a rare occasion celebrating someone's birthday or something. I drink my coffee and tea without sugars too, unless it's tea with honey. I don't eat much processed foods. I stay away from artificial medicines or pills unless I'm basically dying or need antibiotics.

I also workout often (at least every other day), I'm active and go on hikes and play soccer often.

On top of the fact that I prefer the aesthetic of a slim and fit girl, I also want a girl that can match my lifestyle and be active with me. Not just another self-proclaimed "foodie" that always wants to be taken out to eat and relax at home to watch Netflix and order delivery.

Overweight girls reflect the lifestyle they live and are a complete turn off for me. I'm not saying they can't change their appearance or health for the better at any point in life, but I do believe that there's no point in trying to convince girls to workout and diet. They will always blame you for being toxic and not accepting them for who they are. Sorry to say, but your mentality on being fit and healthy is part of who you are as a person and part of what makes you attractive to a lot of guys.

And the thing that blows my mind the most is that girls tend to end up breaking up with their partner saying he was toxic, then go and workout and feel good about themselves and attract a new partner. It makes zero sense why you can't just do that in a relationship.

I'm happily married, so this answer is when I was younger and dating...

Overweight? No. I've dated overweight women.

Obese? Yes. That shows a woman who is not self-confident, definitely not my type.

[DishLady]

For some reason this is a very popular question every summer... Sigh...

No. A person can be fat or thin. It's good and evil that are more important considerations.

Having said that, if there's someone you're planning to make a life with, usually you want to be with someone who is relatively healthy so you can be together longer, right? It's most likely why healthy and fit individuals might have an easier time of finding partners.

A lot of people equate being overweight to being completely unhealthy. I have a bigger friend and she eats healthier and exercises wayyyy more than me. I’m 140 and eat horrible and now have high blood pressure. So what does that say😂😂😂 stop judging people because the BMI don’t add up.

[Finchie40]

If I am not attracted to her , than yes I would reject her

[ChicoFromThe305]

Define overweight because one of my favorite body types isn't necessarily average weight, I'd say leans more on the overweight side, there's definitely a difference between overweight, fat, huge and obese, overweight sounds more like there's still attractive curves.

[Anonymous]

It depends on how overweight they are. If they're super overweight yes I would. I try really hard to take care of my body in every way, and have a Good figure, so if I was going to talk to someone... I would appreciate them taking care of themselves.

[TheorionMage]

Depends upon HOW you define 'partner'; 'platonically 'No'.

I've shared platonic 'partnership' with such a female acquaintance continually since 1982!
We''ve trusted one another LITERALLY with each other's lives!

[avery58]

Depends on how much overweight. Visibly fat, I wouldn't date him. Just a bit overweight, maybe, but if he doesn't care to change that, then 100% I wouldn't consider a relationship with him.

[Kaneki05]

Yup and there is many reasons for that such as,
Weight makes things difficult, I have mother issues and she was fat, fat on the abdomen is biologically unattractive.

[SotiCoto]

... The opposite. I'd reject them if they were underweight. And by underweight I mean if their BMI is under 20.

Not to say I don't have an upper limit, but it is in the Morbidly Obese zone.

[DaBiggestBird]

THICCNESS is balance. No guy will ever be romantically interested in a girl who has her own gravitational pull unless they’re some in red freak who was raised far underground and has never seen the sun or even a ducking plant.

[Nikki1989]

If you believe the mainstream media, most of us are overweight.

No, I would reject anyone for that reason.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'd say, no. All 3 of my ex's were slightly overweight but, I would much prefer to try a skinny girl, for once! So, because of THAT, I'd be more inclined to refuse a chubbette.

[PeachyPie93]

Nope, only if he was morbidly obese. Since no matter how much I love you I ain't wiping your ass or washing under your fat folds for you lol.

[EmmaMary]

That would greatly depend on whether they were actively trying to do something about their position.

[alice55]

I wouldn't so long as they have a great face

[Berethor]

Not if she a virgin, also how much overweight she is? anyway that has never happened.

[EmmaMary]

What has being a virgin got to do with this?

[Berethor]

It always part of my calculation, the point is that virginity more important than weight.

allthetropes.org/wiki/Nature_Adores_a_Virgin

[EmmaMary]

That of course is entirely your rightful prerogative.

[CrabCakes11]

Yes. I am not attracted to overweight people

[KostasKouvalis]

As long as she's not obese or unhealthy fat, I wouldn't. Some chubby girls are cute, and I'm a bit chubby myself so I would be a hypocrite

[Hannajenky]

A little pudge? No problem. If they medically can be diagnosed as obese or morbidly obese, problem.

[genericname85]

100%. because being overweight is probably one of the single factor that tells me the most about her character and overall health.

[Alex-Snow]

I hate to say it but yes... I like girls that are slender and exercise a lot...

[Anonymous]

What's overweight? I mean there's a little overweight and then there's "you're cracking the sidewalk". You need to be specific.

[Anonymous]

Yep. "All is fair in love and war..."

[4ngelic]

yea i would. they're not my type

[Serkee]

That depends on how overweight.

[Billlewis]

It's never happened yet.

[Agape93]

After a certain point, absolutely yeah.

[Radiate143]

Yes. Guts are a dealbreaker.

[JonCobretti]

Not overweight, but obese.. YES

[exitseven]

it depends on your definition of overweight.

[DarkLegacy]

No i would not go near her

[Anonymous]

Just overweight? No. Obese? Yes.

[In_Trance]

How can you tell which responses are honest?

[Level10Hottie]

i hate lard monsters stop eating all the food

[jahaims]

Yeah
