Weight is a very controversal topic.
My question is this
Does the size of a woman make her any less desirable to you?
If she has a fantastic personality, great sense of humor and pretty face, but weighs 200 pounds, would you date her? Or is weight that important.
I know when I'm looking at a guy ; I notice their face, and their personality. Weight isn't really a care for me. I won't think of you any less I just truly want to know is weight that big of a deal?
Also, in my town thin girls are more " date-able " how is it in your town?

In my honest opinion, yes, weight does matter.
At least at first, when you first meet people appearances are everything.
Otherwise people won't bother even getting to know you, especially on a dating basis.
Like, I know I wouldn't approach a 300 pound man, but then again I think that being healthy is important and that at 300 pounds there is no way you can be healthy.

But I also know that if I start dating someone who is really skinny and down the road they gain SOME weight and remain healthy, I wouldn't break up with them.

I think it's all about personal preference, I'm sure to some it's a really BIG deal, and for others it might not be.

Although I find myself holding girls to a much stricter value of beauty then I do men. All of my girlfriends have been really really really thin. And that might be something that I find very attractive, vs. Many of my friends who are "thick" and are pretty, I just don't find them attractive sexually at all no matter how long I've known them.

I never minded (and even kind of like) a little extra weight, but I doubt I'd have even noticed my boyfriend had he been, well, huge. Weight and appearance do matter and they do for a perfectly natural reason--health.

It’s sad, but it’s true. Weight does matter in my case, my preference is to have someone healthy not skinny but at least healthy, someone who can regulate their eating hours and be food smart is what I’d like. If it’s someone who doesn’t eat much and is still 200 pounds, I’d like to get to know the person based on their personality.

I find having a little extra weight is more attractive, then someone who is as thin as a twig. But it really just depends on personality, I dont judge on looks.

I'm not sure how it is in my town to be honest - most people are actually very slim here though that may be a peer pressure thing to look a certain way, the few people that are on the larger side girlwise seem to get on with people a lot more as they rely on personality and still get male attention, some don't obviously but these usually are unattractive in other ways.

As with guys it varies - most of the bigger lads in my year are more muscley than fat though the two which are obviously on the larger side are divided as one is popular and one is very shy.

I wouldn't say that I see weight as a massive issue with dating, I'm not repulsed by larger people and I suppose my boyfriend used to be rather chubby looking at old potographs though I never saw him as being particularly big

Wait, what's sad about wanting a partner who is healthy?

Personality first appearence secondary.

It really depeneds on your personal preference.
But being 200-300 lbs has a lot of health risks, and health is important. It's never healthy to be fat.

What if the person is ugly as **** but a stick?
