Honesty please, Are overweight people (women) undesireable?

[UG]

To deny the role of beauty in the genetic scheme of things is to be equally attracted to both your girl friend and your father.

<< I weigh in at 250 pounds at 5'8, fat percentage 7%, am i overweight? >>




Not in my book.

Some people seem to be missing the whole point. I am not sure if it is immaturity or what. I knoweveryone has their opinions as to what they are and are not attracted to but why must people make a judgement on someone just because they are overweight. I also know that &quot;overweight&quot; is a relative term. I guess there is not right answer to this argument. In the end no one wins.

<< So if your wife balooned to say... 500 pounds, you'd still feel the same about her? >>



Well, let's not go to extremes here, i am a bodybuilder and meet most women at the gyms, usually nice little fitness girls...

But what if your beatiful girl turned out to be a bitch after a year of marriage.. Would that make her more or less lovable...

I get your point, but very obese women do not attract me at all, so i would not get into a situation where marriage would ever be a consideration...

What i am saying is, if you truly find a girl charming, but dismiss her because of her slight overweight or because she is too short or tall, you are making a huge mistake... Women can be beatiful in more than one way...

Look at JLH, she is UGLY, she looks like a two dollar tramp to me and i would not touch her, but that's just me and you may be different... look at Cameron Diaz, she is considered bony and masculine, but i love her smile, and a great smile might go a long way with me... but that is just me, we are all wired in different ways...

Overweight, by definition, implies excess.

If normalcy is the most desireable indicator of future genetic behavior then the excess of abnormalcy is less so.

Generalities are seldom explicitly true but are usually probable.

Opinion, of course.

I do not fall for the media hyped stereotype that rail thin girls are sexy.Personally I find a girl with meat on them more attractive.In real life I have learned that the girls I would want to spend time with are on the heavy side because they are fun to be with and have great personalities.Skinny pretty girls are so stuck on themselves because men have kissed their butts all lives, are people I tend to avoid at all costs.

ok that puts my previous suspicions to rest. thought you were an average geek

I am in total agreement - how about this scenario - get married based on physical attraction, decide to have kids - wife gets pregnant - no probs - but after birth gains extra 30-50 pounds - do you have a divorce now that she is no longer the physical wonder you married?

 

[compuwiz1]

Honestly, in conversation, there would be no lack of desire to converse with an overweight woman. Now getting intimate...yes, I could have a problem with that. :Q

<< ok that puts my previous suspicions to rest. thought you were an average geek >>



Once you get to know me you will know that there is NOTHING average about me, i am as abnormal as they come... I am pro and anti just about everything... Not just to discuss, but there is moderation in eveything that i believe in.. is that abnormal or WHAT?

This was exactly what I was talking about. And you called me fvcking ignorant? (oh come on man, just give her a chance, look past her weight)

 

[p0tempkin]

I like women with some meat on 'em, but if you're talking about heffers, nope.

 

[urameatball]

I'm 5'9&quot; @ 125lb.
so it's only fitting for me to date someone who's around that range.

actually, lately, I've been too lazy to cook for myself, so I think I lost another 10 pounds.
so this morning, I put on a polo shirt that I never button up the 3 buttons under the collar. but then, I saw a rib and I was like SHaT!!! so I've been eating all day to get a little fat in my body!

oh, about the overweight thing... no, I can't seem to find any girl over 150lb attractive. the 130lb range is alright for me

 

[Aihyah]

best to get a woman thin early on...body wants to get fatter as you get older pretty much, so plump chicks probably end up as ultra fat iewww.

dunno, but generally girls don't do as much sports etc, so fat girls are very likely to be unhealthy ones that don't excersise at all. course there are exceptions, there are always exceptions

 

[HansHurt]

I prefer woman w/ some extra weight, and that are still confident...that's the best; skinny girls seem weak/fragile to me.

 

[bigd480]

ditto. society's &quot;norms&quot; couldn't be more f'ed up...

i've always felt that the last thing I would want a woman to base her opinion of me on is my looks because it shows she's shallow... I can't stand shallow women and (though i hate to stereotype) most skinny/pretty girls I know are disgustingly shallow...

if you think in the long term, which most of us young people never do, you'd realize that the the pretty b!tch from high school is one day prolly gonna be fat/wrinkled/ugly and if that's going to make you unhappy, you screwed yourself...



<< Larger women are fine.

I really don't care what a women looks like on the outside, it's on the inside that counts.
As for society critizing my choice in women...well f*ck 'em...it's me that has to be happy with her not society. Society bites. Little skinny toothpick girls are ugly. Get some meat on that frame.

I prefer medium, but I would take too big over too small. >>

 

[d33pt]

my gf is at least 20 lbs overweight and i think she's awesome..

 

[BA]

People tend to to be attracted to people like themselves. I'm 6&quot; 140lbs. So I like some of those rail-thin girls, double digit weights are fine by me. Sorry, but I'm not really attracted to girls that are taller than me, heavier than me, dumber than me...

 

[Alienwho]

<< Sorry, but I'm not really attracted to girls that are taller than me, heavier than me, dumber than me... >>


Well...according to PCResources you are an &quot;ignorant fvcker&quot;.

Ok i'm gonna let it drop now, but I hate being called ignorant when they asked for my oppinion.

 

[PCResources]

Q]This was exactly what I was talking about. And you called me fvcking ignorant? [/i] >>



You just wish that you were as abnormal as me...

Seriously, you were talking about a woman having to be between 5'2 and 6'1 and weigh whatever as long as she is not overweight....

I am just telling you that going by those criterias when you are looking for a wife is BS!

If you find a woman that is 5'1 and slightly overweight (even 10 pounds overweight) and she is everything you wanted except for her height and weight, you throw all of that away, but you will marry the 5'9 model who is a perfect bitch?

I don't think so, when it comes to marriage it takes more than good looks to stay together...

I recently got divorced, and i am not looking for a new wife, as far as i am concerned the whole marriage thing is a big hoax, we were not made to live with the same woman that long...

But, that is just my opinion, i could be wrong...

Ehhh, hate to say this, but i do apologize... your opinion is just that... sorry, please accept my apology...

However, i do think there is a differance when you are looking for a wife or for a one night stand, there are so many things that have to be right for you when you find your wife and height and weight are rarely the most important ones...

You obviously like to pick and choose the posts you read.

 

[PCResources]

<< You obviously like to pick and choose the posts you read. >>



OK, forget about the apology and get this, you stated in an earlier post that you would not consider a girl for marriage if she wasn't between 5'2 and 6'1... If she meets your physical attraction and is a very lovable person but only 5'1 tall then you will not consider her for marriage...

That is what you stated, and i cannot pick and choose anything different unless you edit your post...

This proves one thing, you are probably very young and very immature, you surely cannot claim to have ever been in love, because if you had, then you would know that it does not matter if the lady is 5'1 or 6'2, it does not matter if you don't look all that great together, as long as you love eachother nothing else matters...

So all of your claims are flawed, one of these days you might grow up and fall in love and you will find this out for yourself...

[troglodytis]

i've known and know many girls that fit into the 'overweight' category that are VERY attractive and desireable. i also know many 'overweight' girls that are not attractive to me. it's all on a per person basis. i've got no rules about what i find attractive...and everytime i think i've got one someone comes along and breaks that rule.

girls are good

 

[Brutuskend]

Well I see alot of overweight women with mates, so I guess not everyone finds them un-attractive. They don't do anything for ME however. Having been a bit overweight in my youth, and having lost it and kept it off, I think alot of it is respect for one's self. I have a hard time respecting someone, or finding them attractive if they can't respect themselves. I know for some people it's genetic and they can't help being large. For them, I'm just glad that it seems there are people that LOVE large women.

 

[vi edit]

<< << Define overweight...

I weigh in at 250 pounds at 5'8, fat percentage 7%, am i overweight?

Patrick >>

Yes, yes you are.
>>



Uhhhhh nd, do you have any clue how hard it is to achieve 7% body fat for a guy that weighs 250??? In case you didn't know, which your ignorance proves, IT'S A PRETTY DAMN HARD ACCOMPLISHMENT.

But besides that, all I see is the words, fat, skinny, thick, and chunky being thrown around. What ever happened to the word NORMAL. Isn't there such a thing as a *normal* weight. Geeee, imagine that. Someone is neither fat, nor skinny. They must be N O R M A L weight.

This is just one of my HUGE pet peeves about todays society. If you're not skinny, you're fat. There is no grey area. It pisses me off to no end. Someones weight don't mean sh!t. It's all about how the clothes fit. I really feel sorry for you guys saying you won't date a woman over XXX pounds. The last two girls that I've dated weighed around 145 pounds. But you know what, they were cross country runners. visgf could probably run laps around a lot of you here, as well as out squat and out dead lift you. Was she heavier than a lot of other girls. Yes. Was she &quot;fat&quot;, &quot;chunky&quot;, or &quot;plump&quot;. HELL NO. The girl was cut, and quite a bit of muscle mass to her. Simply labling a weight and saying that you won't date a girl over that weight is just childish. There are SOOOO many other important issues to deal with besides something trivial like that.
