I am a big women and I remember back in high school their was this really cute guy I liked, and he liked me to but he couldn't date me because he didn't want his friends to see him with someone fat, but he liked me allot. I was crushed and flattered at the same time if that makes any since. I know in todays society weight is an issue looks are everything. So I wanted to know how many of you would date a Fat women or Man... and if not why not.

I'm married to an SSBBW, and I've always only been attracted to really big women. I dated thin girls in high school, because I didn't have enough guts then to not care what other people thought, so I was always miserable. Since then though, I've grown up and realized that it doesn't matter what other people think, it only matters if I'm happy and if the woman I'm with is happy. My wife is the most beautiful person I've ever known, both on the outside and on the inside. She's sweet, soft, loving, affectionate, smart, romantic, I can talk with her for hours and not get bored, cuddly, and just plain gorgeous. I love to just hold her whenever I'm with her. I don't love her or any other woman BECAUSE she's large, there's a lot more that goes along with that, but being large is the first thing that attracts me, so to speak. So now I make no excuses, I'm proud to be seen with my wife because I'm proud to BE with her, and I'm proud to BE with her because she chose ME.

i would if i really really like the guy... sometimes looks dont matter if you love a person. i have lots of fat friends way back in college, and we go along pretty well. and i have known some fat people too that are really offensive... man talk about attitude and weight getting together. although for me, for myself, i dont want to really get fat (no offense meant), so i try to exercise a little and do my own style of losing weight. people will like you because of who you are not how fat you are...although there are really people that goes by the looks, dont mind them, they are not the majority. we just cant help it though if sometimes fat people get second looks, especially those that are really big ones, you know how the society is...

i know what you mean when you say it is not easy. it's NOT really... i have a hard time with it too. for one because i have hypothyroidism, i have a slow metabolism, so even when i eat few i will get gain weight. aside from exercising, i also take senna tea before going to bed. its a slimming body cleansing tea, its the one that helps me control my weight.

I did. As a matter of fact, my first girlfriend was. At the same time, she was also sweet, fun, and all around a great person. She was 16, I was 17. It was because of her, my opinion was and is, looks are NOT everything, in fact, it's way way down on my list. Personality, sensitivity and just how much we have in common. That shows how well you're going to get along, not looks. So I would date a fat woman, I would have a relationship with a fat woman and I would marry one. Oh, by the way, I would also bring her around to all my friends. Of course, I am 52, not in my teens. But even back then, I was more concerned about how I feel about a girlfriend, not what my friends think and it's too bad he let his friends prevent him from dating someone he really liked. It just goes to show how immature men are at that age.

Your so right he was very immature, and we were 15-16 years old and I can understand the pressure, what took me by suprise was his honesty. and til this day I wonder what could have been if he would have disregarded his friend

I think its cruel to describe someone as FAT. I dont like that word. But in reality today its is mainly about looks at first. When you meet a person, you don't look at their character. You look at the physical body, so if the physical body is not appealing i.e. fat then chances are that you will move on and look at a more slender person. I personally have never dated a fat person and would not date one as I think being overweight is a sign that you are lazy and dont care about maintaining a healthy body. So unfortunately big women have a bigger disadvantage to bigger men. Bigger men can still get a beautiful girl so long as he has money and power. But for big women you will have to be a pretty special person for one to date you. (sorry but that's just how the world works today)

I agree with you about the word fat. I don't like the word ugly, either. But if what you say is true, explain all the overweight women who are married or have boyfriends.

Wow it was that bad... was it her being fat or her character that mis placed you?
• United States
29 Apr 09
No. it wasn't her being fat. I didn't mind that at first. A little exercise works wonders. I worked out with her, and got her down from 380 to 250. Besides her hygiene, yeah I guess you could say character. Character kind fit the size. Greedy. Everything was about her. She did what she wanted, and if you didn't like it too bad, but you better do what she wanted you to do, or she would be in your face. Well at my chest. lol. talk to the nipples.

I think it's so sad that society makes people act the way they do. A fat man is not my type, but if I met someone and he was nice type of men, I might would give it a try.

It is really sad but that is what the media sells... I mean I am not attracted to over weight men but doesn't mean I wouldn't date them if he is a nice sweet person with good qualities I can over look the fatness

I will date a person I really like. Physical appearance is just one window to the personality, whereas a person has hundreds of such windows. If I like a person, enjoy being with her, am convinced with her maturity level and if we both can understand each other, then I'll date her for sure. Being fat doesn't count as much as how the person is. Moreover, physical state is liable to change with time, I mean a fat person can lose weight to look slim, or a slimmer (but wicked) person can put on weight with time, and suddenly, all the beauty is gone!!

i think that there is buety in every one so fat or skinny the buety is with in. but i will be honest with you i prefer very fit men. my husband is not fit any more and has developed a stomach over the years but it does not change the person he is . i my self will never let my self get that way because i know how it would make me feel about myself.and i am really in to health so that is a big issue for me.i have heard alot of people say they like large people. i would just really be careful of any health issues that may come with it. god bless you and take care.

Would you date a fat man or woman? Well to be honest with you, I would not date a fat man b/c that is not what turn me on. While I would be friends with him I would never put him on my list as far as having someone to get intimate with.

What a lot of people call fat is not fat, just a little bigger than normal. I don't like skinny men. I would rather see someone with some meat on their bones than look sick. For example I have read Jennifer Love-Hewitt was considered fat....what is wrong with people to me she is perfect. I believe women is to be curvy. What dog wants just a bone to bury in the back yard?
• United States

thats true most men want meat on their bones... being to skinny is unattractive and being to fat is unattractive as well.

Hi,first of i want you to know that it doesn't matter what your size is.I mean not to sound offending if that person really like you or has the eye for you he wouldn't even care if he was seen dating a plus sized girl.My boyfriend is a plus sized guy too and not to mention I am a plus sized girl too.It depends on how you handle yourself at public.And not all plus sized people are unlikable in fact many men like plus sized girls because of those extra jiggles and their big heart.=)
• United States
30 Apr 09
Oh I know it doesn't matter, I am plus sized and I've learned first hand looks are not everything but there are allot of people out there who thinks different, its good to know you don't think that way :o)

I think in today's society appearances have a big influence to us. For me the most important is personality for years I still struggling to lose weight. Even if I losed weight 2 years ago still no one interested in me. Personality and attitude are most important than to be beautiful and having a good body. I think love is blind as long as you love someone wheather he is fat or thin it doesn't matter.
• United States

I agree its all about personality because I've met some really nice looking guys with nasty attitudes inwhich turned me off to talking with them all together.

I would most definitely date a bigger guy (i dont like the word fat), and i have, many times before. I dont have anything at all against skinny guys. It's just that bigger guys are just what attracts me. I can't believe some people are so judgmental as to not like bigger people though. It's almost like racism, but with size, not color. Some people really disgust me, and it's not "fat" people.

it's the same thang as racisim, people being recjected because of what they look like. some people are so vain, they treat fat people as though they are another species from another planet. but I blame most of it on the media and how they protray beauty to be this skinny thing instead of the reality that all people are different in shape and sizes. Everyone is not skinny :o)

I am also a big woman. I have always been big and it was very hard on me in school because every guy wanted a barbie doll on his arm. I had a lot of male friends but I did not actually have my first boyfriend until after I graduated high school.It seems that kids can be really cruel. As you get older it doesn't get much better. People are always looking at you funny because you are a size sixteen or larger. I have always stressed to my daughter that weight is not important. A person is not thier looks but much more. A person who has a good sense of humor and is smart and kind is more important that someone who looks good but acts bad. I have dated many men of all shapes and sizes. I got to know them before I judged wheather I liked them or not. I don't think that people should be judged on their looks. If more people would look deeper than just a persons exterior they might find their true love. I remember a guy that my cousin dated. He was so good looking that all the girls wanted to be his girl friend. My cousin dated him for only a short time because he was not a nice person. He made fun of others and he had a terrible temper. So you see just because they look good on the outside it is what is inside that is more important. It is a shame that people are so shallow.

that is so true I had a hard time in High school as well because they wanted like you said a barbie doll. My mother taught me to over succeed because being big was not going to be easy. she told me to smile, have a nice thing to say and focus on your personality because those things matter most not what you look like so I can truly understand what your saying. it took me a while to see the beauty I had inside and to accept me as I am and not what people wanted me to be. even though I know I need to loose the weight I still love me. And you are right about how some guys can look so good on the outside and be so ugly on the inside...

My significant other has some extra pounds and believe me, he is huggable! Weight is not an issue for me as long as the individual is healthy. Your date is so cruel, he wasn't courageous enough to date you because of weight issues and I think that he doesn't want to be a laughingstock to his friends.

I would and I have dated a very large guy before. Back when I actually had a "figure". I was pretty small and he was large but I didnt care. I dont go for looks, they play a factor but personality is more important in my views. Now, after have 2 children and being pregnant for a 3rd time my once nice figure is now on the hefty size. I'm slowly loosing it (not while pregnant) so my husband doesnt complain. :) So yes I would date guys who are over weight because weight isnt important.

yes so true size doesnt make a person, its all about character and how they present themselves...

I guess in my case it depends exactly on your definition of fat. I don't mind dating a guy that is a little overweight - nothing that is considered close to being obsessed. But if you're talking about someone that obviously needs to start cutting back on the intake of food or whatever because health issues could start to be a concern then no I refuse to date them. For me though its not because of their looks and what not - instead its what being fat in my mind means. People today know what being overweight does to them mentally, physically, and emotionally - its just not healthy overall. Therefore having that in mind why would I date a person that doesn't care enough about themselves to lose the weight and stay in shape to have a better future? If you can't care for yourself - I don't see you being able to care for me. It's the same understanding that I use for other things like not dating a guy that doesn't have a job, owes a ton of money, has bad hygiene, etc.
• United States
30 Apr 09
Ok I can respect that, you perfer a person who takes care of themselves altogether. body soul and mind, and your right its important for people to be healthy and consider the harm they are doing to themselves but not loosing the weight. I know for me I've tried and I've changed my eating patterns and habits I've done so many weight lost plans and I go to the gym 4 days out of the week for some reason chemically my body has a really bad motabolisim and its hard. I have other factors making it hard. I only say those things because I don't want to come off as a person who doesn't care or at least try to take care of myself..sometimes their are other factors besides just eating to much

Being fat for a girl is really a big downside for dating. To tell the truth, I would not date a fat girl. But this shouldn't discourage you. All you need to do is improve your human quality, while at the same time spending some time doing aerobics.
• United States
30 Apr 09
HA lol I thought it was the opposite, women are more pickier than guys. and there are alot of men who love a large women and not so many women who would date a fat man.... coming from a womens point of view. I have a great personality and on top of that I am married so I didn't have any problems catching... :o)no insecurities here matter of fact I am on the level of big girl empowerment... I just think it wrong for a person to judge a person by there looks...I mean I am big but I changed my husbands life. before me he was dealing with some really silly skinny women but when he met my large and lovely self (Smile) he had had another outlook on life. it isn't the size that makes the women... and my husband and I do aerobics together...

I once dated a fat girl, and I don't mean husky. I have noticed that a lot of fat people I've met have issues about themselves and attitude problems. I would not date a fat person ever again. I find healthy people to be attractive, and I don't see fat people as healthy.

Wow really it was the fattness LOL... well I am the opposite of that it seems most skinny people I meet are self obserbed, mean,materialistic and oh the attitude... especially when they see a fat person enter the room :o). I really don't associate it with them being skinny I just think they have really bad characteristics because I've met some really nice and sweet skinny people... would I date them yeah... I think so
