Is size/weight a big factor in attraction for you?

Post Reply New Topic

And do you judge others by the size of who they're dating?

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.

Warning, my tumblr is a man-free zone

It is.

My size *looking downward*....attracts.

Yes.

I have my preferences just like most other aspects of attraction (facial features, personality etc) .... I don't really care what other people are into though. I dont have to sleep with them after all...

Me personally, I appreciate different types of bodies. Generally, I prefer women who are fit, average, curvy or thick, in that range. Being underweight is a total turnoff. If I can see your ribcage, I'm not interested. If a woman were attractive and had a cool personality, I wouldn't mind if she were overweight, but there is a limit. If she were like 100 pounds overweight, the chances of me being attracted to her aren't very high. But keep in mind a lot of women who think they're fat actually have great bodies.

It does, to an extent. I think whether or not someone takes care of themselves is reflective of their personality as well. But a lot of girls who have curves are still athletic and healthy and take really good care of themselves. That's attractive. Some really thin girls are attractive too.

I won't do obese or very overweight though. It is usually indicative of someone who has poor self-discipline, and poor self-esteem, and my father would probably disallow me from continuing in that relationship (my father was a fitness instructor and a professional athlete). I don't always follow what he says, but I will if it makes sense.

slightly.
although anythine in between obese and anorexia wont be a dealbreaker, i do have my preferences on (relative)weight, but i wont blow off someone due to it.
i am the same way for size, but that is becouse i am a tall person myself (6'6), so i prefer tall to giant women. yet, i do not require one, as long as she isn't below standing table hight i'd be ok with it

On the rare occasion I would like someone purely for their voice and personality instead of relying on their physical appearance to keep me interested. What I am not sure about is if that kind of relationship would have ever lasted. I never got to find out. Her parents took her out of the school/hostel that I was in.

I don't care if a girl is slightly chubby or slightly skinny. With that being said, I could never date an anorectic or an obese girl.

Hips, curves, breasts and butt.
Ain't gonna have any of them if you're anorexic or look like you're 12 years old.
And I'm sorry but I'm just not attracted to obese women, it disgusts me to even look at them.. I take care of myself and it's not my problem that they don't - as if I want to potentially marry someone who's going to die at 45 from a McDonalds-induced heart attack....

But to be serious, eyes and face are much more important... the rest are perks.

I have a few extra pounds that I need to work on. It would be hypocritical of me to turn away a girl for being overweight. I'm not very superficial anyway.

For me there is such a thing as too heavy or too thin. But those categories make up a pretty damn small percentage of the women out there. I mean, someone would have to be really big to count as too big, or really thin to count as too thin. So yeah, I guess it's a factor, but not a big one.

I like men who are fit, but the super muscley look does nothing for me. I actually like lithe-looking guys better. I wouldn't date an emaciated man, though. Nor would I date one who was obese. I'm not attracted to either.
