What is your weight range in dating?

Post Reply New Topic

i edited the post above as it looks like the pic may be candid.

it's good you posted those videos because it's even clearer that her actual figure is not really like the first pic you posted.

I agree, they have definitely photo shopped her bum look perkier in the modelling shots, her waist size looked smaller a couple of years ago, however I think she is a natural beauty and she does look good in candid photos.

i typically am attracted to girls that are shorter than me, or around my height (im 5'6).

and i really really like to cuddle so if we are cuddling and they squish me it likely wont work out. when i can wrap my arms around my girl with extra room afterwards cuddling is a lot more enjoyable for me.

i prefer curvier women over skinnier women, but my weight range in dating is very broad. as long as they are not very obese or gaunt, i'm not strict on that.

it's the person that matters (and people of all weights can be attractive)

*Same thing* can be said about many girls, hale_bopp when it comes to the muscular and six-packed guys that most of your gender drool over.

Most young girls think that most of those guys are sporty, athletic and *healthy* (LOOOL). When I got involved in the gym stuff I've starting to discover how wrong they are.

Their "athleticism" and their "healthiness" are all about consuming crazy amounts of concentrated animal proteins. The bulkier ones (originally "fat") tend to consume fat-burner crappy stuff + concentrated proteins while the slender types (those with fast metabolism and were originally 'thin') follow unhealthy crazy diets (=crazy amount of protein-rich food).

Like 70% of the "Strong" guys I know in the gym have gallbladder-issues, gallstones and/or other food-related health issues, I witness those guys often have females fans (very obvious fan-behaviors), probably that's why a lot of guys keep following this slow-suicidal behavior.


The male-fitness world is a messed one.

You're missing the point, boo.
At least the muscles are actually naturally part of the guy. Fake tans aren't. Hair extensions aren't. A full face of make up isn't.

Men with muscles aren't "fooling" anyone, because the muscles are a part of their body. He doesn't go to bed and take off his muscles.

That pic of Kelly Brook up there in a pink bikini has a fake tan and a full face of makeup. Many men are simply too stupid to pick it.

(I'm not saying she isn't attractive, I'm sure she is under all the paint but the fact is it's not natural)

You missed my whole point.

Hint: fakeness of heathy/athleticism/strength

Keyword: Faking.

Your point was mutually exclusive to mine. I don't even know why you quoted me with it.

And I don't see how a guy building muscle is any faker than a woman losing weight. Just saying.

Everyone knows that your body shape in general shouldn't be a reflection of health. The number of times I've seen guys on here saying that small-average sized women are healthy, for instance. For all they know they could have starved themselves to get that size.

It was a parallel comparison, not some sort of competition.

It wasn't really a comparison as it's not even addressing the same thing.

I am talking to women who wash off their "hotness" at night, you're talking about men who follow weird diets to build the bodies they want.

A comparison would be a man who stuffs his swimming trunks at a beach.

Hate to burst the heart-warming morality lesson but I think that's beach sand behind her waist.

I think the point being made is that unrealistic expectations are unfair because they are based on unrealistic photos and they are unfair to people with genes that aren't conventionally desirable to the media or give the wrong impression to the younger generation, attraction in itself is subjective and based on preference. However the media will dictate what is conventionally attractive and most of the time, that is shown in an unrealistic airbrushed and edited photograph or presentation.

Of course, if someone doesn't have great skin or a desirable body naturally, I don't think there is anything wrong with make up or enhancing their features if it gives them confidence, however I don't think people should feel socially pressurized to be a certain way or fit a conventional standard of beauty. People will inject themselves and go to all sorts of extremes to look aesthetically desirable because the media determines it, they aren't concerned about how it will affect them later in life, they want it now because of conventional society, that's why there are so many adverts on how to look younger ten years younger in one week or the six minute six pack abs workout, we live in a quick fix society that is only concerned with the now.

I have a waist to hip ratio similar to the first (possibly edited) photo if not more dramatic. Unfortunately she is much more blessed in the upstairs area than I


Now to answer the title question: So far my actual dating history weight range has been 90-220 with the lowest being a 90 lb shorter-than-me twig of a boy and the largest being my current husband, a former weight lifter who is about 5'11 and now has a good-sized gut since he stopped lifting weights and my first husband was somewhere in the middle at 6'1 and 170 or something? So I'm pretty much all over the map in terms of what I actually date. Weight has little to nothing to do with my choice of partners, though.

In terms of purely physical preference (which is what the OP seems to be about), I prefer the small thin men. Lean and athletic is good too. I don't like bulky and muscular at all. I'm a big fan of a long, toned neck. I'd say this guy (Milo Ventimiglia) is about my ideal and his neck is to die for.



Tom Welling was also incredible when he was in his 20's. He bulked up too much after that and I didn't care for it.

well i prefer women to be around my weight or less. Not just for beautys sake but also im a bit afraid of women larger than me.

someone was paying close attention

Oh, I agree the media goes to far. Here in the US though I seem to notice is that the reaction is getting closer to 'why try' and further letting themselves go. Then again though I don't fully get the sense that 'good' figures are as unnatural as they are unnatural relative to our culture's serving sizes and social habits.

This is a bit of a farce and more for humor than anything but I think it does have a grain of truth:
