Would you ever date a fat or obese person?

Post Reply New Topic

I don't think I could date a fat girl. If I ever met a heavy girl who exemplified enough positive traits to make me love her, great, then I would date her, but I've never met a girl like that and have no reason to think I will.

I always saw "lowering your standards" as overall demeaning to both parties. I view attractiveness as entirely subjective, and therefore someone I find unattractive is not, in the grand scheme of things, inferior, just different. So, am a believer in "someone for everyone," so there's no need to bend yourself to force yourself to like someone. In a relationship with me, both parties would have to find the other attractive, since I don't agree with telling a girl you think she's pretty if she's not (to you). It kind of goes like this:

A. People who are in love don't lie to each other.
B. People who are in love can trust each other to make them feel attractive.

You can't do A and B unless you're with someone you genuinely think is attractive. For me, that means thin (along with other things).

If I get lucky, I'll meet a thin girl who's one of those "inner beauty" people, since I'm not fat, but I'm not really attractive, either. For me, inner beauty is only half of the package, but it's a legitimate way of looking at things to ignore physical attributes. Frankly, I admire people like that. They're doing something I never could.

Just Google it!
Or, for reference: a pound is about 2.2 kilos.
An inch is 2.54cm.
A foot is approximately 30cm; I can't remember the exact measurement.

and with that attitude I vote you be placed into a hogshead and rolled down a steep incline with a high fractioned slope.

Let's take this to another level?? For those attracted to the 2's and 3's. What happens when they turn into the 5+ range?
@rabittss thanks for that visual.

What 'attitude'? I don't see anything wrong with the point(s) I made regarding this issue. I was simply pointing out that the civilised world has moved on from doing things the way they were done 400 or so years ago. What's the problem?

The problem is that we the "stone age people" don't appreciate your negative remarks. And with each post you continue to insult us. Look, you're not going to get your "humble" request for metric conversion. We have made suggestions. Take them or leave them but stop with the insults.

Probably not someone grotesquely obese, but I've met some girls over the years that despite being a little overweight are actually quite attractive, and make up their weight with having a more attractive overall physique and face than some girls of regular/below normal weight.

Of course, body weight is not a big deal for me, it's self-esteem that counts. So, body weight, except in extremes, does not make a deal breaker in the dating department.

1. I'd call 8 and above obese, and I'd call 7 fat and 6 slightly overweight.
2. The biggest size I would date would probably be a 6, but possibly a 7. I'd also struggle to date below a 3.

One of the most constructive post I've seen. Thank you for that.

1. Eight and above would be obese to me. Six and above is overweight.
2. My acceptable range would be between two and four.

What size would you rate yourself?

Two.

I would hardly call most of the countries who use the Metric system, Civilized.

Certainly, regardless of your opinion, the USA is FAR more civilized than say.. Somalia.. or Rawanda.. or Burma. We get by just fine thanks.

You're attitude is that we're "Wrong" when there really isn't any major difference in the value or ability to use either system. Both work just fine. And neither is more or less intuitive to learn if you're trying to learn it in a place where it's not used.

If I went to the grocery tomorrow, and asked for a kilo of grapes, no one would have a freaking clue what I was talking about. No reason to learn it, and the very fact that "The civilized world" is constantly on about the US being uncivilized for not switching.. is only going to make people respond exactly the way I did. we will say no, and dig in our heals and for another 400 years won't swap over. The only way to get us to swap is to STOP BADGERING and let the free market (thanks coke and pepsi!) do it for you, subtly.

7+ obese, would date from 2-5, myself a 2

Oh shush.

Here in (apparently uncivilized) Canada, we use both measurements regularly due to the close proximity of our American neighbours who are the last ones on Earth to still use weird units of measure that involve "3 of this make one of that" "12 of these make 1 of that" "7 of this makes a peck and bushel of that, but only every other tuesday."

Oh BlueMax not you too....smh .....It works for us.
