A little anorexia never killed anybody. More seriously though, c'mon! Everyone gives the whole 'genetic' argument, and a lot of the time it is true, but the majority of fat people deserve to be. I don't shun them, I'd be giving the same advice to a shrivelled up balding deaf man: go for a shrivelled up balding deaf woman! (or something equally as unattractive). I know people are VERY touchy about weight, and the people out there who have overweight partners are very touchy about it too. It is mostly a female thing, and my opinion on it is that 65% of girls just overreact and think they are overweight or chunky, and then all of a sudden become tissue-paper fragile when the subject is brought up. I can't really say anything, because north america is full of fat people and people who think they are fat, but the god honest truth lies. Fat people are found less attractive. They aren't as fit for sex, they can't be in as many positions, and they aren't as physically able. There is a reason they aren't swimsuit models. If your fat, you must either be rich, really charming, or you gotta lose the weight. Otherwise you better just be lucky because you won't end up with a hottie.
I love big guys.... why? I grew up surrounded by big men. My grandfather was 6'6 and 400 pounds... the weight wobbled a bit, but that was his biggest. All my uncles are in the 6'3 -6'5 range, and none are less than 275. My hubby is big. Most of my exs were big. I am no petite thing... I played hockey most of my life. Big men make me feel safe, and I know that I can't accidently physically hurt them. When I was with little men, I was always afraid to put my weight against them. For the record, I also like Science Fiction geeks, brainiacs and those geeks that played Dungeons and Dragons in High School. Bonus points if you were in the debating or chess clubs.
to be completely honest I've never been attracted to an overweight guy and I doubt I'll be attracted to one ever... I have a thing for skinny to lanky guys
That's because you haven't been arround short guys who can try to make you feel safe mentally. The reason most woman don't feel safe arround short guys isn't because they are small but because the short guys have actually been weak their entire lives and give off the vibe to girls that they are weak. 10 bucks I could get laid on you.
ummm.. no. Why? You are 17, and I don't care what that Leopard guy says.... but ewwww. I fucked 17 yr olds when I was 17... haven't since, and will never again. You are a boy... I am married to a MAN. Call me when you penis has hit it's full size and maybe I will hook you up with my sister or something. I've dated some short guys... although short to me is anything under 5'8. I hurt the guy who was 5'8 during sex... it was a total deal breaker. Short guys can "project mentally" all they want... but the fact is, if I have to take over in a bar brawl because you can't handle yourself... well... then we have a problem. And you, my dear, would be Cowboy-chum, I can tell already.
losing weight isn't as important as firming/toning yourself I've found. it isn't so bad to be big but being too flabby/squishy can really hurt your cause, you don't have to go nuts on the weights or anything just try to trim yourself up a bit, like trimming a cupcake (I have no better example than cupcake)
I'm serious. Like how taller people make more money? It's not because they're taller. Turns out, that only applies to people who were tall when they were 16. People that were short at 16 and tall as an adult don't make more money. It's because they never gained social skills that their taller peers did because taller people generally play more sports and are more involved in clubs.
I think that probably was one of the dumbest comments ever made...bravo sporto, bravo.. people's preferences are different...so what does it really matter if someone is overweight, its not like you said its unhealthy or not good for your body, no basically everyone said it was ugly or disgusting..which sounds very uneducated.. I love my boyfriend no matter what the fuck happens, if he looses his arms, or a leg, or whatever..weight, if he shrank, went bald..doesnt matter... if ya dont dig chuncky people, then dont date one but just dont post something saying.. "fat people are ugly, its your fault your fat.." what the fuck kind of point is that...
Hey, ease on the short fellas lol. I could take a bar brawl anyday! =P I am the shortest man in my family, at 5'9, but i have the largest muscular structure, my chest, shoulders, arms and general spread are bigger than any of my uncles, and they all have at least 5 inches on me. I heard it best once, that you can take a 6'3, 250 lb man, and stuff him into a 5'9 frame. Same amount of man, just thicker and more dense. Thats me. So i may not be "short", certainly am not tall, but i am big.
I was more refering to men who are 110 pounds and 5'6, not guys built like you Heron. I have yet to meet a person of hearty Scot stock who couldn't carry their weight (both metaphorically and literally). I have no doubt you could handle yourself in a bar room brawl if it came down to it. I took objection to the "wee slip of a man" telling me he could have his way with me. lol. His mouth is writing cheques his body ain't got a hope in hell of cashing.
oh ok, =P so you are saying, that basically, i could handle you? lol Cause i wouldnt mind the challenge =) and how do you mentally protect someone? Yes confidence projects strength, but you do need to be able to back it up. Its like the 4 cylinder Mustangs they make. They look just as fast as their 8 cylinder siblings, but they dont hold up in a challenge.
In my opinion physical attraction is an important aspect of a relationship. Its true that preference varies, and some people -are- attracted to bigger people, and there is a lot to do with physical attraction outside of weight, but thinness is a trait that I would say is probably desired by a majority of people in a partner. If the physical attraction doesn't exist in one form or another (we don't all have to be models here) then a good relationship would probably go the way of friendship, don't you think? I think physical attraction to someone can be emphasized because of emotional feelings though.
