I just started dating someone and we got on the subject of thongs some how...lol. He said "nothing sexier than a thong" and I said "yeah if you have a tiny butt" (I'm about 20/25 lbs overweight but considering I lost 100 lbs 9 years ago and kept it off..I'm happy with myself) and he said "nah..most butts..besides..I don't want a woman that'll break on me" and kissed me...lol. I think he might be a keeper!

So many people claim looks don't matter and it doesn't matter what they look like if there's no connection mentally or whatnot...well i say it's BS! It does matter, if it didn't then I wouldn't be trying to lose weight and other people wouldn't be starving themselves to be "perfect".


YES!! Agreed.

Update, my sister who is a bbw is dating a really good looking guy right now, so there are worthy guys who like big girls. She's had lots of success on bbw sites.

I was dating a girl and one time went by her house and was lookgn around at some pics on her mantle. Saw what I would assume was a high school grad pic, and she was huge! She never mentioned that, but her body was a little larger than average, very nice though.

Ewwwwww.... they are aren't they... lol

Most people.. "fit people" can't keep up with me so I don't have to explain myself to any man, anyways... that is his choice just like with any of us who likes certain looks in a person. Tonight, I just really don't care, to each their own.

I dated numerous girls who were overweight, would I do it again? Yes! I'm not going to avoid or make up lame excuses because of their weight, I'd be missing out on some great people if I did that. If they want to lose weight, that's great but like I tell em. Do it for yourself and not for me, I'll just be there to help you out.

Hmmm, I used to be overweight and have never had a problem dating and having gorgeous boyfriends (keeping them is another matter altogether), but if personality had anything to do with it, I'm still the same person, just 60lbs lighter. I still don't have trouble dating, but I also happen to be the one that choses wether they stay in my life or not. I do like myself a lot more now though, because I can run up the stairs and still have the energy to go all night

I have been over-weight my whole life. what most people don't realize is that obesity is often there with depression. Coping with the depression contributes to the obesity and that leads back to the depression. It's a horrible cycle.

One good thing about being the fat one or the ugly one is that you can see the truth about the people around you. If someone is a good person then they will accept you and treat you good. If that someone is a bad person then they will be condesending, rude and inconsiderate, and you will know that you don't nees to waste your time on them.

When you are looking for someone to date or to start a serious relationship with, please consider this, do you want someone who is very good looking but will leave you at the first sign of trouble or do you want someone who while not having perfect looks will love you more than anything and will stand by you no matter what? The choice is yours.

underboss - "why just because i wont do a fat girl,"
You should have known better LOL Fat people don't like it when people are honest about not being attracted to them. I agree with the post that got you called a troll, so put this skinny wench on the troll list if you want, but I will still have the same preferences. Most will claim it is simply because I am shallow and assume that it is the visual that bothers me, when in fact it is having to worry about dealing with their medical issues and watching them suffer through them. That would hurt. So, I guess I am a troll for not wanting to date firemen because I would always worry about whether or not they were going to live through their shift or have lung problems in the future. Some people think preferences are shallow judgements of others, when to me, it is just that I don't think I could take it.

Heat in the winter , shade in the summer !
as Tony says " They’re Gr-r-reat ! " LOVE IT!!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!!
If the personality is great, then what are you worried about?!
It doesn't matter what you weigh, its bloody society thats put that pressure on so many women/men today...sheesh, get over it, and love what you've got, and who you are, and who you are with

Honestly someone said it before but there has to be a chemistry of some sort. In general I know I'm not attracted to an overweight girl just from a physical stand point. But before you knock me for being some materialistic jerk or something let me clarify / explain.

It's just like any other attribute. I could never date a girl who didn't have a cute face no matter how good looking the rest of the body was. I want the whole package just like everyone else and am just up and frank about it. When I'm saying overweight I'm thinking like someone who weighs more then I do as not being acceptable for me. I take care of myself to some point that I would think I deserve someone else who takes care of themself also. Definately not to the extent I do *ie working out 3-5 hours a day* but to some extent. It's just adds to character / work ethic. I can understand a girl that does work her butt off but happens to have not great genes and therefore is still slightly packing some pounds.

I'm sympathetic to that because I also have not that great genes and work for everything *even how little it is* I got.

It's just one of those things. If you can't see yourself being with that person there's no point in fronting just so you look nice / considerate in the eyes of society. I'm not saying I deserve or even want some girl that others would say could be modeling. I mean it would be nice but I am realistic and know some girl like that would probably more likely then not, not find me attractive at all.. I can understand this.

So when you say a girl who is overweight it is pointless. Everyone has a different opinion what they consider to be overweight... If it matters any I definately would not date a girl who is bigger then me... And I set a pretty big upper limit.

My two cents (take it for what it's worth, maybe not much, but it's a topic near and dear to my heart).

Fact #1: I am overweight (admission is the first step, right?)
Fact #2: I work with kids (great job, can't ask for a more rewarding career)

My concerns: The body image debate that causes 10 year old girls to feel they are fat and ugly because they don't look like the girls in the magazines and billboards they are bombarded with every day. 10 year old girls on diets!! Diets!!! I'm so tired of making excuses and hearing all the reasons why women or men should lose weight and the attitude (of some) that if someone dares to date us, that they are somehow doing us a favour. Acceptance is acceptance whether it has to do with age, hair colour, freckles, an annoying laugh, weight or anything else that makes us all different, wonderful, unique individuals.

Berate me, debate me, contest my opinion, but I just felt like sharing my humble opinion.

Personally I could care less if someone doesn't want to date me because of my weight. I do not live my life for other people, I know what type person I am and if someone doesn't want to get to know the real ME because of my weight then it is totally THEIR loss not mine. As for you ppl just trying to get some of us stirred up, get a life. I could care less about your opinions of me or anyone else. If you have preferences then so be it, that is your choice and your life. If you think any of us will fall into your little games you are wrong. You can cut overweight people down if that is what makes you feel like a better person because it only shows the type person you really are. Just because we might have more pounds on us than is "socially" accepted (which is a crock of ****) does not mean we are not caring, smart, pretty and very normal people. To each their own.

Also, who said; "If you want a happy marriage, marry the ugliest woman you can find"?
I don't know if is true, but it have been aroud for a while.
Don't remember who sang it,, but let me see ....

"If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life,
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
So from my per-so-nal point of view,
Pick an ugly girl to marry you!"

Now ... don't anyone blast me please ... I just responded to that guy putting that in his post.

Personally ... I have been overweight in my life and then lost the weight. Believe it or not, my boyfriend at the time said he likes "chunky" ladies and told me he did not want me to get too skinny!

Yea right ... like getting too skinny would ever be a possibility with me .....
