No. As long as they are into the person then that is all that matters.

I personally wouldn't date anybody who looked like they would blow over in the wind but if any of my friends did then it's their preference.

All that matters to me is if my friend is happy in their relationship and for myself the only preference I have is that they are not too skinny. I care about how we get along and common interests more than looks.

(Then again I am quite fat myself so I can't really comment too much)

Do I judge others on who they date? No.

Do I want someone who is inside of a certain weight/height parameter for myself to date? Yes.

As I've said before on here, I'm not a very big person. I vary between 145 and 155lbs and I'm 5'10''. So I'm primarily looking for a woman who is withing the range of say.. 115 and 185lbs and between 5'4" and 5'11" simply because then we would be able to "Fit" together really well when we are sleeping and cuddling and walking together and what not. It's alright if she's taller than me if she wears heels, or even a little bit taller than me normally but I don't want a girl like the one who plays Briane on game of thrones anymore than I want a girl who could crush me if she was on top during sex.

Personally I hope everyone, except one person on earth, finds love and fulfillment. But I cannot just *Force* myself to find people who are overweight attractive anymore than they can *Force* themselves to lose weight.

Also, judging others based on the way their partner looks; why would I give a s**t?

I understand that some people do that but I cannot, for the life of me, understand why.

If a friend is dating someone who is unattractive to me, I could not possibly care less. If a friend is dating someone who is attractive to me then, at most, I might think to myself "too bad she's taken."

Well of course. I personally don't find a woman who is fat to be attractive. I just don't find that to be attractive, some men do however find that attractive. I myself just can't date a woman that I don't find to be physically attractive.

I have my preferences, fit/in shape or slightly overweight, height doesn't really matter. I can't positively say I would count out every obese or extremely skinny woman I meet, though. When the personality is banging, weight generally only matters when speaking in terms of health. I just like fun, a personality gives and keeps on giving, but looks get old.

Anorexic makes me feel like I'm banging a holocaust victim. Anything more than a bit chubby makes me feel like I'm banging a water balloon. It is what it is, folks.

That said, I've noticed that lesbian couples don't seem to be nearly as affected by weight issues. I'm guessing because it's less physical and more mental.

I just got out of a relationship and I've been hanging out with this awesome girl... and I had a friend tell me I could "do better" and so on, and it turned out she was talking about this girl's weight. I was really surprised, I guess the girl I'm seeing is big, or whatever, but I don't even see how that would have anything to do with whether or not I am into her.

I understand how looking at someone without knowing anything about them might make weight more important, but once you get to know someone, it seems like their weight has nothing to do with it.

Just curious, I guess.


No I don't judge others by the size of who they're dating. And I don't really think thats whats going on with you and your friend. If I were to guess your friend just doesn't like her and is just using her weight/looks as an excuse.

I'm most attracted to thicker men. Not exactly fat, just... thick. Don't get me wrong, I do like muscular athletic guys, but I like functional muscles and not pumped window-dressing-in-short-sleeves (ew!). Working man vs. Gym rat.
I tend to like masculine women too, but I also love a little waist. So that one's kind of confusing. I like all the signs of femininity (little waist, smooth skin, etc etc) but prefer it in a package topped by short hair and a lifestyle that somehow involves a truck.

I read this article about a study a few months ago, I am too lazy to google, but I think it rated the average insecurity of straight and gay people of both sexes and it went (from most to least insecure about physical appearance) straight women, gay men, lesbians, straight men.

That made sense to me based on how people talk about themselves but not in any other way.

I think it was just one study so it was a small fraction of society that was polled but I wonder if it's accurate in general.

Your friend's not the one dating her, so who friend wants to date don't matter? Also she's kinda an as*hole - what if she was like "you're dating a chinese girl, you could do better"...

I love that cartoon. And I felt the same way when she said it. Who is she to judge a person's value without even knowing them?

She doesn't know her aside from her being openly bisexual, and they worked together for two weeks at a bar here before my friend got a different job. She doesn't know her but she posited that she's just a pseudo bisexual because she's a bit plump. That doesn't really make any sense to me.

All of my friends have a history of giving me unwanted advice about everything. I prefer advice from online comrades.

Its not going to add attractiveness, but I can see extremes in weight and size to take away attractiveness

It depends on the size or weight of the person, if someone is slightly thicker and it doesn't affect their facial features to a good extent, I think it can be attractive like this. Girls with that physique seem to have a bigger boob size as well which is attractive whereas really skinny girls can have small boobs.
