I'm going to admit something rather unlike me here, but given the responses in this thread, why not?

One of the sweetest pleasures I have had in life has been turning down arrogant, shallow men whose main interest in me was how 'hot' they perceived me to be. Ha! One in particular had been my friend in elementary school until he realized in middle school that being friends with the fat cross eyed girl wasn't 'cool'. I was crushed, because I had loved him dearly. Then in high school, once my eyes were fixed and my body started showing the results of lots of roller skating and cycling, he totally made a play for me. He had just broken up with a sweet friend of mine who had ALWAYS been compassionate towards me (and was our homecoming queen) and was trying to get with me. It felt SO GOOD to tell him, NO THANKS!!!!! :)

Our bodies are not static. They change, they age, they improve, they weaken. At some point, you will want to be loved for who you are... not what you look like or how much money you make.

You may not fully understand the implications of this now, but you will one day. That is certain.

Truer words were never spoken,I've lived an entire life in which I was judged for what I could do for or what I could give to others.It's not an easy thing because you seldom if ever measure up.

I don't place too much value on appearance, but I wouldn't date somebody that was obese. Slightly overweight is not a problem here. Of course, there are many other factors besides weight, too.

True.. But I'm talking about a girl who's 5"2 and weighs 400 lbs! A real porker who sits home on Saturday nights stuffing her face w/ bon bons. You wouldn't go out w/ someone like that?
how would we go out if shes sitting at home? (and not likely to fit through the door)
Hahaha... well if you greased her up a bit, then maybe she could slid thru that door. :D

I don't think there would be any need to grease 'em up since I'm sure that someone who can't fit in a shower will likely have a bunch of 'grease' on their skin already.

C'mon guys....

:D

i wonder what a fat girl would say if asked..would u date a nerd who constantly sits and posts on the computer about his girl troubles, car troubles, and who counts down the days until a cool movie is coming out, and will sit hours upon hours researching tvs, computer parts while ignoring his basic needs......

I find it funny that guys who cant get up the courage to ask a girl out, and fantazise about sex all day and who post about their insecurities and how the world is so cruel and unfair to them can sit and criticize another human being..

i didnt marry a 'fat' girl but i know a few of them that are slightly overweight and are very intelligent and funny as well as sexy when u get to know them...

well thats just my opinion and you know what they say about those:p

Yea... and your point is?

Fat girls are N-A-S-T-Y! As you have seen we like skinny girls! S-K-I-N-N-Y! Sorry bro, but the guys ont his forum don't go out with no heifers! Right guys? Guys...

:cool:


I dunno... I rather suspect many here have chubby hands :D

ROTFLMAO!

See, I like some of them with a little bit of meat on 'em. But no bigger than 140 lbs. Unless she's like fricking 6'6" then, over 140 is understandable...

I think Darwin can answer this question. It's basically just your basic 'survival of the fittest' theory. People are looking for the healthiest & strongest mate to be the father/mother of their children. Right now 'healthy' is physically fit. And fat people don't normally fall into the physically fit category. And when I say fat, I mean ridiculously fat. (Risk for heart attack, high cholesterol, etc.

I would say in this day and age intellegence must be a higher factor in the Darwin equation than being Physically fit, because with medical technology being the way it is somebody can be fat and still live through Heart attacks etc... and the technology is only getting better.

If someone is stupid or has no common sense there is not much they can do about this, yet.


I've dated some skinny girls and some girls that were a little chubby but, it really makes no difference to me.
I worry more about a girls personality and intellegence more than there weight.

I myself could stand to lose a couple of pounds, not to procrastonate, spend to much time on the computer etc......
We all have flaws........

Depends on your defintion of fat, and depends on your definition of 'date'.

If you mean fat as in obese, then no. If you mean fat as in 'she doesnt have a toned body' then yes.

If you mean date a heavy girl, no, probbably not. If you mean date a heavier woman, to a limit yes. Usually this happens when i'm heavily under the influence though.

I dunno, I'm very tall and skinny, and I'm not as attracted to shorter or heavier women. Its just the way I am, and I don't feel sorry for it because its something I cant help. I'm not an a$$ about it, and I would never go so far as to say I would NEVER date a heavy girl. If I were in a bar and the only girl in there was really short or pretty heavy, I doubt I would go out of my way to talk to her. Call me superficial but I'd be lying if I said I would. If she came up and talked to me though, I wouldn't blow her off.

At this point, its hard for me to say. I'm not really interested in dating anyone right now. I'm pissed off at women in general.

Reid Speed is still hot though

I used to think like most of you guys! "I'd never date a fat girl!"

Now I'm married to one...

You never know which hotties will gain weight... (actually, you do - all of them!)

Just marry a hottie and get fat together!! It may be an inhibitor to being attracted TO her, but once you are together, fat aint a big turnoff... Only more of a concern if it is actually unhealthy for the one you love!

I've known some pretty hot buxom girls. Not like completely overweight, but maybe like 5'4, 140lbs or so. Also knew a 5'4 130lb girl and I still swear she's one of the hottest girls I've ever seen.

I hate girls that obsess about their weights; I think a girl either looks good or she doesn't. Round pretty girl > Skinny ugly girl.

You may not start dating a fat girl, but she may gain weight as you're going out. Would you stop dating her then?
You may marry her when shes skinny and then she gains weight later in life also (this happens to us men too by the way ;) )

It depends. If I found her attractive, yes. A 180 pound girl could be all muscle, and I wouldn't find her attractive, or she could be curvy and I might.

I think there's a limit...

some girls might be a lil plump but a cutie in a way.. makes up in personality and such.. someone that you can grow attached to.

but then there are people like 300-400 lbs... which i wuoldn't mind having as friends... but I don't think i would date someone like that.

i'm only 5' 9" and 180lbs

Hell no. I point and laugh at people like that when they buy bulk candy at the supermarket.

Well at this point in my life I would have to say no. But that is a copout I am married. When I married my wife she was in sizes zero and two's. We decided to have a child but things unfortunately went down hill in hurry for her. She got all the way into double digit clothes and had a terrrible outlook on life. Well it turned out she had a big time problem hypo-thyroid, possibly cancerous. We both were freaked out. Well they took almost all her thyroid out and tests came back negative. It still took another year of doctor visits till she found a competant one that was able to get her on proper medication to bring her hormone levels back in line. She has changed back to the happy woman I married six years ago. She is losing weight and inches at a significant rate. I expect her to be back into normal clothing at worst case the end of the year. Now me on the otherhand I have put on 40 pounds since we have been together and I do need to do something about it. :D

I am sure Darwin rolls in his grave when people use his observations on generational change to justify their actions.
