Do you think people gravitate towards their same body type when it comes to relationships?

[TenderFantasy]

Just a thought because my last ex was fat actually. I know there's a stigma with that word, but I'm just telling it like it is and describing him.

Do you think most people end up with their same size of a partner? I don't like that to be honest with you because it's not like they can HELP their body type! (Nor can I for that matter and I'd be the skinny one in the relationship). How much a person weighs and their body shape is a lot based on genetics and lifestyle! One you can control yes, but the other you can't! Also, I think age is and health is a big factor as well!.. Your thoughts?

Plus, I've seen "different shaped couples" work out so..

The actor John Goodman (from Rossanne fame), his real life wife was, I wouldn't say skinny, but definitely not fat. She just started gaining weight after having children and aging, but when she was younger, she wasn't his body shape!

My ex's brother is also skinny but his wife is more of normal shape.

I also had another ex who had a friend who was dating this fat chick. It was like a ball and stick I would say to myself lol. Sorry yeah, that was mean. I learned my lesson lol. It's just that she wasn't always nice lol and so I guess I gave her that nickname in my head to make up for it lol. .. And the dude was skinner than normal, that's why.

Update: Just like being racist, it's not like you can always control your body shape! and people can change shape once they get older, get sick, situation, socio-economic changes, etc!

Yes

No

It's the inside that counts!

It's the outside that counts!

I am definitely not built like my ex-girlfriends were... lmao

[InspireGlow678]

No, I like different body types

[InspireGlow678]

Thanks for the MHO.

[AaronKrieger]

For me, I am skinny and I have a preference for mid to plus size women, yet I have mostly dated skinny women because it worked out that way. By the same token, I am tall and prefer tall women, so it's black & white for this sort of thing.

I think when you find someone you click with and if you find their overall appearance attractive, then it the superficial things do not matter as much.

[TenderFantasy]

True.

[AaronKrieger]

it's not black & white for this sort of thing.*

Typo

[Joshydavid25]

I don't necessarily think so.. I mean I'm muscular with more of a V shape.. While I wouldn't automatically turn down a muscular woman with a V shape, it's definitely uh, not my preference.. LOL.. But, also I've seen skinny guys with fat women, fat guys with skinny women.. Out of shape guys with in shape women.. So yeah..

[TenderFantasy]

Well that's good to hear.. that gives me HOPE for humanity lol. Maybe I am having a confirmation bias here only lol.

[Joshydavid25]

Haha.. Of course..

[HighValue]

Not for me. I don't want a woman with 22" arms. Lol. I like small petite wimpy looking women and slim athletic build women, not large muscly women.

[TenderFantasy]

Thanks for your honesty.

[HighValue]

However, I do find Raquel Rodriguez (Gonzalez) on WWE to be attractive.

[IslaTheWitch]

I'm not really sure.

It doesn't work this way for me. My first partner was tall but skinny. My husband was not really tall and had an average build

[exitseven]

I have been a gym rat my whole life. I was always attracted to girls that were in shape.

[LiamJHayden]

Some do, some do the opposite, some do not care.

[TenderFantasy]

Well good, then I have hope lol. Beacause like I said, I cannot control my body type as well as other things like my age ! And yeah, maybe even my health too! Nor my race.. etc!

[LiamJHayden]

Exactly.

[Francesca1994_]

Not just physical but a hygiene I don’t expect them do more. I workout 6 days a week. I like a partner that’s active at least 3 times week.

[TenderFantasy]

Nice!

[Sevenpointfive]

i don't want a fat girl. i'm not fat

[Zestyassmf1997]

I’m a recovering chubby chaser.

[Zestyassmf1997]

For reference, I’m underweight.

[TenderFantasy]

I'm a bit underweight too so don't worry.

For me, I wasn't a "chubby chaser". I just wanted someone kind, matured, supportive and whom I had a lot in common with basically and who wanted the same things in general (big things). My ex before him was skinny so lol..

[Roudyrebel8]

Definitely

[TenderFantasy]

Why do you think that is?

[Roudyrebel8]

Because who a person really is is what's important and body types don't convey that
