Weight matters to me [not too much though], but I'm naturally stick thin, and short too.
I don't want to be with someone who would crush me if they fell on me.
Guys need to be somewhere under 150lbs and girls... I prefer thin girls, but a little extra weight doesn't bother me, just not too much.
I'm a healthy eater and I won't date people who eat like pigs or don't watch what they eat. It disgusts me.

It’s sad that people that are overweight don’t get acknowledged by most people because of how unhealthy people think they are. It's not sad wanting a partner who is healthy...

More cushy on the tushy is better than being a walking, talking skeleton with skin stretched over it's bones.

Yes, but that's why they're not getting acknowledged. It's called "overweight" for a reason...

Not all overweight people are unhealthy. Their hearts are fine, their muscles are fine, their cholesterol's fine. Obese is another story, but for a person that is simply overweight, health isn't always an issue.

What's healthy about weighing more than someone of your age/height/build should?

Or less?

Sometimes it's genetic; I'm healthier than my sister who is on her target weight, and I'm 70 lbs over my BMI. It also depends on how you handle yourself. Unlike her, I don't sit on my keister eating chips and chocolate and staring at the computer screen every and each time I have free time. I also eat vegetables and use a treadmill 30 minutes a day 3-4 days out of a week; she refuses to do any of that. I walk way faster and longer than she does, and it takes me longer to run out of breath. I also have normal blood pressure and cholesterol.

I will still date a person if she is overweight. But if she's really unhealthy (being extremely fat) I won't. Just because it will be harder to be around them. It leads to heart disease, and I don't want to deal with that.
But it never makes them any less desirable.

Good so far. :3

I'm not attracted to chubby/overweight people.
as much as i'd like to be nice and pretend that appearance doesn't matter
it does.
it's just a big part (maybe around half) of a relationship, whether people want to acknowledge it or not. if i don't like looking at you, we're not going to go very far even if you have a great personality or whatever.
