Is it reasonable for overweight or fat people to require their partner to be a healthy weight? (Page 2)

Question

Do you think this is a reasonable request from an obese or fat person? I don’t consider someone 15-30 pounds fat, either. But say for example a man who is 250 when they’re supposed to be 190 (ideally) wants an average sized woman. Is that fair? Also, for the purpose of this question, healthy does not necessarily mean ‘fit’ or ‘muscular’. Healthy could also mean ‘average’ as a healthy weight varies from person to person.

NerdInDenial · Answer

If the heavy set person has something the other person wants.

esotericstory · Answer

Yes its very reasonable. We have a moral responsibility to see that all citizens of our country are fit.

samael_kmarty · Answer

Depends on the requirements. Like if they are in love then it's fine. If they are trying to change themselves for the other than it becomes difficult.

Quidthonian · Answer

I have been obese myself. It is extremely difficult to lose weight if there is no support. I didn't have that support.

AlscarB · Answer

If their partner is allowed to make the same request, then sure.  If said person is not willing to be judged on their weight, then no

I think that would be hypocritical. Requiring a non obese date when you are obese. Develop yourself first.

Smegskull · Answer

Depends what you mean by reasonable. It's hypocritical that's for sure but the demand may be balanced by a different one from the partner... (e. g. demanding they don't smoke)

Twalli · Answer

You want someone of a reasonable weight, they may too. So you can want what you want, but you may not get it.

Sensu · Answer

The obese are rarely in a position to require someone to be healthy, but if they want a healthy partner, they should strive to be one themselves.

strounge · Answer

Jesus if you don't like the way a person is why date them in the first place? I'll never understand these kinds of conditions.

ChiPaPa · Answer

Yes. Everyone has what they like. Doesn't mean they'll get it.

JasonSatooo · Answer

I don't think it should be a requirement, but there's no problem with a preference

Iron_Man · Answer

Yes even heavy people want a partner that's in shape

dexter234 · Answer

If the fat person want their other significant healthy as priority then it's not cool
