You'reasian Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 This is a continuation of Green's thread on dating overweight women. Guys and gals, what is the overweight limit that you are willing to consider when chosing a partner? Personally, I am ok if she is say 50 lbs over her ideal weight. Why? I think the big picture is important. If she takes good care of herself otherwise - say she has a beautiful face, dresses well, has a great attitude, is loving and makes for a great, loyal partner - I think she's definitely worth it! Guys, lets here it for great women!
stevejohnson1976 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 i simply wont date a girl who is out of shape - no more than 10lbs over ideal take it as you will...
PJKino Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 I like a little meat on a girl in the hips and ass area thats about it Its really tough to have a weight preference becasue women wear weight differenlty then othres.. I tell by the body wheter it turns me on not specific weight..
CarrieT Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Out of curiosity, Steve, what is your opinion here:

Guys, lets here it for great women! For me I've only had relationships with girls between 5'5" - 5'7", between 119 lbs - 125lbs. And that will always be my target.
sagetalk Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Tall and lean are my favorite combo. I'm tall and lean as well, so I'm not being a hypocrite. Nor sure about weight, but body fat is very important. She can have some weight on her, but she must be in shape/healthy. A woman who is out of shape and doesn't care would be a bad influence if we had kids. Plus, she would probably drag me down and out of my regular workout routine which is a big negative as well.

Guys, lets here it for great women! I don't have a specific weight limit. I need to take a look at a woman before I can tell you if she's a yes or no. I am also terrible at guessing a woman's weight. Besides, what is a woman's "ideal" weight? I have seen obese (according to BMI) women who I think looked hot. In my case, I would say as long as have a pretty face and their boobs match the rest of their body (meaning they do look proportional/hourglass figure), a woman can be 50 lbs overweight and still be hot.
disgracian Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 To the same people who have such strict requirements on body shape, may I turn this 180 degrees and ask you this: What is the vapidity limit you would consider when dating a person that conforms to (or idealises) your body image? How uninteresting or selfish or moody or unintelligent would they have to be before you drew the line? Cheers, D.
meerkat stew Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 More into waist-hip ratio, skin and muscle tone than just weight. If I had to go with just weight, 25 pounds over BMI ideal would be acceptable, probably no more. Weight alone is the most misleading quantity describing a human body. The best built woman I've ever dated weighed 155 at 5'6", completely firm lingerie model body with no visible fat whatsoever anywhere, incredible skin and muscle tone, was also close to "obese" by BMI standards.
Star Gazer Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Weight alone is the most misleading quantity describing a human body. This is so true. My BFF is physically larger than me, but lighter than I am by 15 pounds or so these days.
stevejohnson1976 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Out of curiosity, Steve, what is your opinion here: not my type..sorry. i like smaller girls.... she has her waist pulled in so tight her insides are going to never be right again!
ella23 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 This is so true. My BFF is physically larger than me, but lighter than I am by 15 pounds or so these days. I read that by mistake as "my BF is 15 pounds lighter than me", and I was like "hmm".
SOLACEMENT Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I read that by mistake as "my BF is 15 pounds lighter than me", and I was like "hmm". me too ...
Star Gazer Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I read that by mistake as "my BF is 15 pounds lighter than me", and I was like "hmm". Ha! Nooo... BF is about 80 pounds heavier than I am! Best friend is lighter, but bigger...
alphamale Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Guys and gals' date=' what is the overweight limit that you are willing to consider when chosing a partner?[/quote'] i'd say 20-30 lbs depending on height
Lauriebell82 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I've had this discussion with my fiance numerous times actually. We've said that it's not so much that each of us is attracted to thin partners, more along the lines of healthy and active partners. Neither of us are extremely skinny, but we are both physically fit and healthy. Personally, I am not attracted to really thin guys, but muscular guys. So for me I do like "bigger" but it has to be "athletic bigger" not "overweight bigger."
Sam Spade Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 My gf is 5'2" and weights 116-120. I would bring it up if she starts to approach 130-140lbs. The thing is that she has an extremely tiny frame, so even at 120 she has some nice curves :love:. So it's just a matter of not letting the curves becoming something more than that
Yukikazi Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Preferably 20 lbs at least less then I am.. Noone over my own weight of 145ish Currently sorta workin on a girl thats actually 95lbs

Guys, lets here it for great women! LOL...the "big picture"... <pun intended?> I am tiny...and would not want a fat guy-don't want to get lost in his folds and rolls of fat! 50 lbs I guess is okay but depending on how tall the person is...50 pounds is almost already half of me! But I hear you, youreasian! There has got to be more than just looking at somebody's weight to decide whether that person deserves your attention or not...Many overweight people are wonderful people, no different than the ones who are not.
Author You'reasian Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Preferably 20 lbs at least less then I am.. Noone over my own weight of 145ish Currently sorta workin on a girl thats actually 95lbs I'm heavier than you - and I've probably been with women who weighed close to the same as myself. Not an issue - but the current girl I'm talking to probably weighs closer to you than me.
allina Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I'm attracted to a lot of different body types on men, just nothing super skinny or obese. All these men have attractive bodies, though they are not all the same. http://www.oha.org/kwo/2008/08/images/artalemanakax.jpg Something like this is just hard to stomach http://blog.mrseb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fat_man1.jpg
CaspianDreams Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Not sure if I like blatant classifications based on BMI, but 55'4" - 5'8" in the range of 110-125 lbs is about right - my general mantra: fatties are nasty...there's nothing nastier than jiggling body parts, and the typical, flesh baring clothing that women wear...disgusting. By fat, BMI is probably in the 23/24+ range.
MyNameIsJonas Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 For me it comes down to the woman's attitude toward why she is overweight. If she accepts herself for how she is and her personality shows it, then I really have no issue with her weight. On the other side, if she is bitter/unhappy about her weight AND is blaming something other than herself for her unsatisfaction AND is not making an effort to decrease said weight, that is a deal breaker for me. Of course this all comes with a certain degree of reasonableness. If the woman is "overweight," which is, imo, 10-30lbs over "ideal" weight and the above positives are in place, than that's fine. Any larger than that, then I would probably have an issue with physical attraction, to be perfectly blunt.
