Women: How does weight factor in for you?

[Anonymous]

When I use the phrase "I will consider him" I mean that you will start to go through the check list of things like confidence, sense of humor, job, etc. How much of a role does a persons weight play in terms of attraction/whether you will give him a shot or not?

I want to clarify I'm not going to judge. If you pick option A that doesn't make you shallow by any means. If you pick option D, keep in mind that we are saying the guy could be 50-60-70 pounds overweight (visibly overweight) or very skinny (think "is he skin and bones?").

If a guy isn't athletic, I won't consider him.

As long as he isn't skinny or overweight, I will consider him.

Even if he's a bit skinny or overweight, I will consider him.

Weight isn't important at all, I will consider him.

If he's obese then I'm probably not gonna be attracted enough to consider him.

If he's tall he could probably be up to 40 pounds overweight before he becomes unattractive to me.

Attraction plays kind of a big role initially but overtime it lessens but still matters. He doesn't have to have a perfect body as long as I find him attractive overall.

honestly. I think it all depends on the person inside, obviously, a really hot guy cud still be a jerk, so people prob wudnt date him. but if an ugly guy was smart, funny ect... then I think he shud have not a very hard time getting someone he really likes

I have no disagreement there, but I'm talking first contact. Some people, they will look at somebody and go "nope, not a romantic interest." It's just not going to happen. Obviously that can change over time, but like I said, I'm talking first contact.

I cannot stand fat guys. It seems really shallow, but there's just something about them that I CAN'T stand. I will still consider the rest of him (personality and those types of things), but I probably wouldn't date him. The guy could be skinny (not anorexic, but thin) and I would definitely consider him, but not fat guys.
