How much does weight matter when dating?

[girl2664]

when considering a girl for dating...how much does weight influence your decision?

Weight is(was) a major factor for me, but isn't a deal breaker. He is how I (personally) see it:

Anorexic- pretty gross, I wouldn't want to consider one to marry, and would go for her after all the curvy girls were taken. It shows a lack of self-respect and intelligence really, because anorexia is dangerous and not a very smart thing to do, no matter what your problems in life may be. Also uncommon so I don't know too much about this.

Skinny/athletic- HOT. automatic dating material, even if they are bitchy. Guys are willing to put up with a lot if you have a nice body. Also the sex will very likely be the best out of any other category. If you are not in this category, you should strive to be.

Curvy- This is probably the majority of all girls. I am attracted to this type and see them the same as skinny/athletic girls, but I would choose them after the skinny girls were all taken.

Fat- Not very appealing, it shows lack of respect for yourself, and very likely the sex won't be very good. I would however consider dating a fat girl if she had good looks, a good sex drive, was very sweet, and not a complete loser. If this just happens to be you, don't be insulted, just consider gaining more self-control and confidence, hit up the gym a couple times a week and eat better. Plus you will probably die sooner, why would a guy want that?

anyways, lol. I hope this helps

It's really not fair, but the truth is that body type is very important for most guys. I think a lot of us just can't be attracted to someone who is overweight, no matter what other qualities she might have. And there are some guys who are willing to overlook a lot of bad qualities in a girl if she is reasonably slim. Again, it's not right and it's not fair, but I think that is the reality.

The good thing is, is that this is something most people have at least some control over. And as long you lose weight in a healthy way, it can be a positive change that you are making for yourself, not for anyone else. Losing even a little weight will increase your attractiveness.

Anyway, if its something you are interested in, you should talk to a doctor about it (seriously). Your doctor can help you figure out what a healthy weight is for you and how best to do it.

when a girl doesn't take care of her own weight, how is she supposed to take care of another person in a relationship. As long as a girl is not morbidly obese... it should be good

[dude91]

if she weighs more then me. that's a definite no no. I like a girl who takes care of herself

[Distant]

Depending on the guy, it ranges from 0%-90% of the attraction factor.

fat matters not weight

fat matters alot, if a girl isn't in good shape I'm not intrested

[Ezmotts]

It's not how much she weighs, but how she rocks her weight.

[beerY33]

it's all about proportion!

[skb94]

if she weighed more than me, it would be a turnoff

[Phoenix1991]

over 300lbs.

[PoeticNinja]

Damn 300 lbs or more? I thought it was 150 lbs or more.. Lol..

[Phoenix1991]

Lol why would you think that?

[PoeticNinja]

150 lbs is pretty big still. Maybe not big compared to 300 lbs..

[Phoenix1991]

well I meant as weight in general, if her weight is supposed to be 140 or something and she's over 300 lbs, that's kind of a warning sign.
