I admit, I quite like a big girl, but not too big, otherwise it probably isn't very healthy and not very attractive. But a girl who's a chubby or thick girl is nice. I'm not too picky about weight, but I don't really like skinny girls either.

Exactly. Well...there's a girl I like at my local hobby...and she's grown to be slightly taller then me with quite a chubby (but at the same time really womanly) body...although she's a freshman at college. >_<

Pretty ironic really as she's normally been average height and weight until this last year when she's really matured to become a beautiful lady.

Seen, that's usually how it happens, they blossom before your eyes :lol:. I am quite tall (6 foot 3) so not many girls are taller than me. I like it when they have a little bit of puppy fat on the torso, I don't know why but I like it :lol: .

each man can have his own preference and decide if weight is an issue or not.

I personally prefer women who have some meat on their bones and are on the slimmer side, but not fat or anorexic looking.


I like Amazonian types

would an amazonian type be like a fit girl who is around 6 foot and 175 pounds or so?

Weight shouldn't be an issue when judging someone's potential dating quality, but it should be an issue if being overweight/underweight starts leading to complications like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart failure, etc. These health concerns, in turn, could decrease the quality of sex (for example, a man might not be able to "get it up" during intercourse).

so... skinny people with high blood pressure and diabetes should be avoided too? because lots of thin people also have health problems like that, and it would be really hard to tell who they are without a health checklist on the first date.


Read my post again. I never said that somebody should be avoided because they're too skinny or fat, I said that if you're in a relationship with a overweight/underweight person that their weight could possibly (though not always) put them at risk for health problems that might affect the quality of the relationship. Since this topic is about weight, I was focusing on what complications might arise based on being too light or too heavy, not genetics and/or other external factors unrelated to one's weight.

it's true that i missed that you said underweight as well as overweight. my mistake, sorry.

not sure what you mean by "should be an issue" if you don't mean to avoid dating overweight/underweight people?

LOL If you don't wanna date fatties, say so.

Don't pretend you know someone's health based on their size,
that's silly, all the more so when you go for skinny chicks who get winded walking up a flight of stairs.


:lol:

I want to date fatties! Though I've probably said that 10,000 times already :)

Maybe trojan51 needs a big girl to make a man out of him. :)
