I Am Overweight, But I'm Not Attracted To Overweight Girls?

What the fuçk? Did she spend a month in Ethiopia or something?

I keep myself in shape, so I am kinda influenced by that. IE: Since I try to keep in shape, I at least expect someone I am interested in to at least make a truly honest and consistent attempt at such. Thus I answered no to the poll. However I will acknowledge there are exceptions. Some individuals can hold such extra weight well. A little bit extra is fine, but no obese/morbid obese territory. It ruins bodily aesthetics for me. Same for massively underweight: IE that pic not far above.

There just has to simply be some physical attractiveness involved, last I checked we humans belong to order Mammalia after all.

I'm slightly overweight. Maybe about 85 kgs or so.

I've been attracted to overweight girls in my life--but I'm not attracted to them more than I'm attracted to normal-weight girls.

I'm not attracted to extremely thin girls.

I don't think there's any reason to assume one's own physique 'should' influence what one finds attractive. Attraction is not something you owe anyone. I do believe it's quite involuntary.
I rarely find women larger than myself attractive. I weigh about 60 kilos (132 lbs). I'm not a fan of the supermodel look though.

I recall this thread was a timely parody against another thread back then - but I don't really recall what it was all about.

Reading this thread makes me feel proud that I look like John Banner. I never did look like Mick Avory to be honest. Too big.

Weight is not a factor in who I'm attracted to. I'm attracted to personality. both my 2nd & current girlfriend are overweight. I'm alittle overweight myself but they weighed/weigh a lot more than me.

I'm not attracted to people who can't do things with me. I've been frustrated with light people who got out of breath climbing a small hill, and I've been frustrated with more pudgy people for same; I've also gone for hikes with both lightweight and pudgy people who kept up just fine.

I'm 5'8 and used to weigh 275 when i was a teen. I'm down to 195 now. There was this overweight girl in high school who was always nice to me. I had meet her before at church . We were in a puppet ministry youth group . I had developed a crush on her but was too shy to talk to her. When i was reunited with her in high school she recognized me and introduced herself, but i blew her off because she was overweight ,wore her hair shorter and had glasses.when we got to senior year , i had more classes with her and started to like her personality. She revealed that she had no friends in high school until senior year.i assumed she had friends because
She was friendly , warm and talkative. I seriously doubt she was attracted to me
But i fell bad for blowing her off.

People are often attracted to physical attribute they lack themselves in order to create offspring that are more dynamic. People unconciously pick a partner who is genetically disimilar to themselves so it is resonable to assume that those who are naturally big would be attracted to naturally thin.

Although If your always looking for something toooo specific you'll never be satisfied

Overweight is relative. And BMI is useless except for a cursory look at best. I am around a 33 on the BMI, I was at 27 - 28 BMI when I was rowing competitively and around 8% body fat. I was Overweight by the system, but even with working out hard 4-5 hours a day I was not "healthy" based on the system. All of this comes down to beauty is not about weight or BMI. It is a way you view the world, Mostly I appreciate athletic or slim women, but I don't see overweight as a negative. I appreciate a healthy person truthfully the models and skinny women that have been posted I find more repulsive than a woman who carries weight in a proportional manner. If a woman is average height and close to average weight that works for me. I can't imagine dating someone who is skin and bones, nor do I want a woman I can't pick up and hold. I'm fine with overweight when it gets to morbid obesity I can struggle seeing beauty.

I was easily the skinniest guy at my sportsteam, but i still had the highest BMI.

Measuring physical health by BMI, is like measuring intelligence by looks.

I'm not unfit or out-of-shape at all, yet that's the only females that have given me attention. Thought it was pretty cool my ex-girlfriend was at least a part-time hockey player, and another one did exercise to get ab muscles.

I don't mean necessarily 'fat' or overweight, but just the skinny girls as well who've never lifted a weight or exercised a day in their life, and due to their fast metabolism's eat as much junk food, sugary foods and energy drinks as they want.

I guess it's expecting too much to like fit women; maybe it's just a stereotype, I have no idea if there's any statistics to back-up my opinion, but I'm pretty sure males are far more likely to enjoy working out and eating healthy, because it's the men in the media, 'muscle man' that motivates us, while women just try to look like models and such - starved and skinny, but no actual muscle or tone to them.

A lot of men though will dirty bulk and eat unhealthy foods, and a lot don't know when to stop and will use way too many supplements or even steroids to have over-sized, big, bulky bodies that are strong, but athletically useless because it's actually dampened their mobility.

But, at least they're doing something that can be classed as 'exercise'.

Hmm, after some looking, some sources say men get twice as much exercise than women, they are twice as likely to exercise regularly, and overweight/obesity are more common in women.

What's saddest of all though is, apparently 1.9 billion adults in 2014 were measured to be overweight. F*cking 1 in 7 adults not just in the U.S., but the world.
