Would you date someone overweight?

[GamerGuy09]

Simple question. Do overweight people turn you off, or do you care more about personality than looks?

[Poopsie do]

I prefer my girl to not be overweight. I find it just a teeny unappealing. Personality is important to me too but who knows, if I love the girl then why not

[imaguybro]

Me personally chubby girls are alright but I dont like overweight.

[Abyssal Echo]

to me its about the person and his personality.

[Silicate Wielder]

If you mean physically only, then yes, I find overweight girls more attractive.

However a good personality is important.

[jamesbig10]

i love overwieght girl and they are easier to get along with as well

[teen.jpg]

Yes. It really doesn't matter to me.

[ThE DopEsT]

Overweight as in like, say, 20lbs over the suggested weight for their height then yes I'd be okay with that. Someone who's obese though, no, I wouldn't be okay with that. It would bother me. And no, I don't care more for personality than appearance, that's just how I am.

[digzchickz]

yeah i would date an overweight girl, i mean all things equal i prefer thin but hey im not exactly skinny myself altgough i want to be.

[clmbusboy1]

I much prefer in shape. So I don't think I'd date a girl if she was that overweight. A little bit would be okay I guess. It matters more if she's an awesome person.

[GigglyAbby]

Personality is most importance than how big someone is. At this point -- I'm not sure if I'd be with a girl or boy who's obese but again if their inside rocks -- I may not rule them out.

[Walter Powers]

Personally, probably not. Unless they're overweight because of a medical issue, I think a persons fitness oftentimes a reflection on their work ethic. For example, the cross country team at my school have an average GPA of over 3.5...it's no coincidence. Hard physical activity teaches discipline.

Also, the whole point of dating, in the end, is to find a spouse. I, personally, do not want to outlive my spouse by twenty years. It'd be very lonely. Having a wife who is obese greatly increases the likelihood of that happening.

Now I don't want to discourage anybody on here who's overweight. Here's my advice to those people: : You're still young and have plenty of time to improve your fitness. The best way to do this, I think, is to join a school sport. If you can't make any of the other teams, cross country is a great option that's no-cut. It's the one sport that's actually easier then it looks! I have friends on my team who essentially credit the sport with solving their weight problem.

Oh, and Track is great, too (as long as your not throwing or something. That doesn't help).

I like girls with curves

[Sharona]

Sure but it wouldn't be my first choice/who I'm looking for - I'm fairly health/fit conscious so that's something I like to be able to share/be involved together in

[caliguy]

I like girls with a touch of extra meat on them. I don't like it when they are so skinny that you feel like you will break them. a touch underweight to a little over is all good. I do not really get turned on when they are extremely overweight even when the personality is great. Not totally sure why that is either. A great friend of mine is quite a bit overweight and has the best personality and we have done things numerous times and every time I feel like it takes more than normal to really get off.

[Jakefortin]

Nope

[Gopher]

im kind off overweight so i wouldnt expect my partner to be any better, plus a little extra weight is a turn on ;)

[Yolo2000]

Maybe I would

[curiousteen]

Yea i would as long as she isnt a sloppy overweight. She also has to be a very pretty girl as well.

[HahaWaitWhat]

I don't mind if she's a little curvy, but if it's beyond that, than no.

[Rina]

I would date someone a little overweight. I know it's not as easy as some people wanna say it is to lose weight, and as long as they're nice, it shouldn't matter.

Questions for Both :arrow: Relationships and Dating

Its definitely more about personality in my opinion so yes I would date someone who is overweight.

[indoxyl]

I love how everyones trying to be sweet and saying 'its wats on the inside that counts' forreal? its not all about personality and i guarantee if someone overweight asked you out right now half of
you'd say no

idk, my boyfriend now is a little under 250 which is overweight for his height? So i guess so?

[Apophis]

To be honest it ain't about the looks, its about the personality! If someone likes someone just cause of their looks well then that relationship would fail fast. But if someone likes someone with a personality then that relationship would work out. But everyone is different! In my opinion though Looks are just an added bonus.

[Miserabilia]

If they are not extremely overweight yes. I would just help them loose weight to a healthy weight, for their health!

[Cygnus]

No, I would not. The girl would have a shorter life too, so why make the effort?

[germangirl]

yes, i would date an overweight boy. on the other hand i can't imagine dating a boy who's very thin and athletic, don't know why, but i don't find it attractive..

[Magenta]

No, sorry, it's a turn off, personally. Yeah yeah, it's what's on the inside that counts but looks do matter in a relationship. You can have a great personality but if I'm not physically attracted to you as well, it's not gonna work.

It's just not something that I'm attracted to in men or women. A little weight, sure, we all have it, but overweight? No.

[Austins]

I used to be overweight and after losing so much weight and working so hard I cannot date an overweight girl. Although I will still be a good person and will befriend them and help them lose weight if they wish :)

[Ninako]

I'm unsure about this one, but I might date an overweight guy as long as he isn't too overweight. Obese guys is a definite no because it's just uncomfortable for me to even think about it frankly.

If their a great person and have a nice personality I don't mind overlooking it and at least giving a chance, but the relationship will probably end sooner than later.

[Walter Powers]

I love how everyones trying to be sweet and saying 'its wats on the inside that counts' forreal? its not all about personality and i guarantee if someone overweight asked you out right now half of

idk, my boyfriend now is a little under 250 which is overweight for his height? So i guess so?

It depends on whether it's muscle mass or fat, and exactly how tall he is. If he's built like Shaq, the NBA player, he's fine.

[justin 13]

I really don't care.

[agirl555]

Im not gay im just putting myself in a guys position, but he would probably prefer a good bodied nice girl, not a fat meany, or and skinny diva, or an ugly person. No offense. I think if her personality is worth living with, and if the personality is worth more than how much she weighs, then he'll love an overweight person. Not obese though.

[Samual]

i dont mind, as long as she isnt like 3000 pounds

[Trenton_]

Obese? No freaking way.
10-20 lbs over? No thanks.
5-10? She'd have to be an incredible person.
0-5, yup.
Under weight? Yup

[unknownuser]

Honestly, probably not... but like others have said, it would really depend on the person.
I'd prefer someone a normal healthy weight, maybe a few pounds either way, but no one super-thin and no one super-overweight.

[Miri]

Obese? No freaking way.
10-20 lbs over? No thanks.
5-10? She'd have to be an incredible person.
0-5, yup.
Under weight? Yup

I can't believe this. Are you kidding me?
You would only date someone 5lbs overweight if they were an "incredible person"?
5lbs is nothing!!

And you wouldn't think twice about dating someone underweight? Say they were anorexic or bulimic, would you encourage that, just because you'd be so disgusted by them if they were 5 pounds overweight? What if they wanted to get to a healthy weight? Would you tell them to stay underweight because there's "no freaking way" you would date someone "obese"??

It's people like you that make girls (and guys) self conscious about their bodies and images. I can just imagine you on your wedding day, not marrying the love of your life because she looks fat in her dress.
I know I don't know you personally and I can't judge you until I know you, but from what I learned about you from your post, I honestly hope that I don't ever meet you.

My opinion: I would date someone overweight. I would be open to dating someone with any physical body shape. If they were overweight or obese though, I would exercise with them, and encourage them and help them try and lose the extra weight. No way would I turn someone down just because they're overweight, there would have to be another reason as well.

I can't help it though, physical attraction does matter in a relationship, and I'm not super attracted to lots of extra body weight. But, if I was in love with their personality then I would try and help them get back down to a healthy weight.
