Is it a huge issue with you if your partner is a little chubby, or fat? Or does having a REALLY skinny boyfriend/girlfriend make you shudder?

I personally like a chubby girl, but morbidly fat is not kool.

:sly:
 
I have big problems even with tiny portions of excessive bodyfat. It doesnt have to be model-skinny but almost. This goes for myself too, I feel very unattractive with a few kgs around my waist.
 
If you're in a good relationship with someone, the attraction is about 10% physical and 90% emotional, so to me, a little extra weight is not an issue at all.

In fact though, when looking objectively at pictures or just women on the street, I prefer them softer and rounder with real hips and chest.

Thighs the same size as her calves = :yuck:

That depends on how big her calves are. ;) Just kidding.

A woman has to have the right proportions. Thighs should be bigger than calves, etc.

It's probably that way for me too, it's just that the 10% makes a difference. A little extra weight is not an issue. But my definition of little is ~10-20 lbs. Other people might forgive more.
 
Women as they get older naturally put on a little weight, a young women can get away with been skinny (not that i find it attractive) but once they get a bit older - late 20's onwards, skinny becomes haggard looking*or gaunt (Renee Zell, Nicole Kidman etc)

A womens knees should never be thicker than the part of the thigh just above them.

Fashion designers are the only men naturally attracted to skinny women - and they all bat-for-the-other-side - Any other men who like their women to have 'boyish' figures are just in denial.

Wait till she has a few kids. You'll forgive more. Besides, if I expect her to only be 10-20 lbs overweight, that means I have about 40 pounds to lose.

I'm with TheCracker on shape.

Maybe I'll forgive more when I actually start gaining weight. At the moment though, my wife is a good shape. Her mother managed to recover from having kids so I have hopes. :)
 
You're initially attracted to the body, then you fall in love with the person. As long as the body doesn't radically change you won't notice any gain, and certainly won't love her any less. This is why couples who've been married for eons are still together - like Duke said, its 90% emotional - as long as the other 10% doesn't replulse you!
 
In a reltionship you tend not to notice too much, maybe if I woke up one morning and the missus had put on 20lbs overnight I'd pay it more attention.
My wife is probably around 20lbs more than when I met her, maybe more, but we've had 3 kids and to be honest, something to grab hold of never hurt anyone.
 
Sicbeing, I sugest you make the thread title slightly clearer. Who knows what some would make of it.

Anyway, size matters alot to me, I have never dated an overweight female (actually I have done onece but lets not go into that.) While I accept that body shape means little or nothing to most loving couples, When "shopping around" the "right" body is the first thing I look for.
 
It doesn't matter too much, but it can be an issue. I don't like them ultra Paris-skinny, but with a little more meat on them. Too much is not good, either. 180lbs for a girl that is 5'7" is getting up there....

The thread title seems innapropriate until you actually come in here. :D
 
Yeah, I thought something else.

Errr, size matters, I like a woman with nice natural curves, but not too skinny or too fat.

You do know you could just catagorise female sizes in to sizes 8, 10, 12 etc.?


Well, to be honest, I'm not fussed really over size, cos it is the personality of someone that attracts you to them in the first place, and keeps you their all that time later. You have to like the personality of someone more than looks, cos whether you are with the girl (or boy) for a day, a week, a month, a year, or the rest of your life, the personality is the one thing that keeps you interested and dare I say it, in love.



But to be honest, I'm not too fussed over sizes, cos as long as you like them for who they are, nothing else should matter...anyways, my girlfriend is a size 8 (thats quite thin, but with a basic kinda figure)
 
My girlfriend is pretty skinny, size 3, but then again she exercises all the time since she plays 3 sports. She doesn't have an eating problem because she can in fact out eat me :lol:. But she has said that she never really wants to gain weight, but it's unhealthy not to eat. Thats why she exercises.

With me, I'm about average 5'9 at about 155lbs. Lot of it being muscle from my sports days and yes I still work out. But GM is slowly starting to make me gain weight since all I do is eat out everyday.
 
Big girls, and big guys need love too! I second what Duke said.
I have also found that "softer" girls have softer hearts.
I like a "robust" woman, and I pretty much always have.
I did date one very small girl in high school, but I liked her because of the way her mind worked. She was pretty too, but her mind and heart were works of art.
 
I like 'm voluptuous. Big boobs, giant butt, thick dancer-like thighs, chubby upper arms and a very cute face.

Though, I'm attracted to skinny chics, too, so long they ain't too skinny. But they need to be cute as hell, though. A lot of skinny chics look like men to me. Bleh. :yuck:
 
I like a happy medium (as do most people). I don't want someone who looks anorexic, but because I'm skinny myself, I'd appreciate someone who doesn't look like they're twice as wide as me. :lol:

I've actually found that most girls who are runners look the best-proportioned, because none of them are fatty-fat, but they're also not unbelievably skinny, since running builds up an extra few pounds of leg muscle. In other words, they don't look like twigs.
 
Of course size does make a difference, a girl should have some meat on her so you have something to hold, but there's a limit. Once you see fat rolls, stretch marks or anything else that isn't supposed to be there it does matter. Nobody wants a pig. If you're a fat woman and your husband / boyfriend tells you that size doesn't matter it is probably because he is a loser and desperate anyway, thinking that he can't get anyone with a better figure.


Of course you can't expect someone who is past their 40's to stay slim and built like a supermodel, but being obese is still disgusting at that age.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this. I tried telling my wife this, but she's thinks I'm nuts.
 
I dont like really skinny women, i like some curves, thats not to say overweight, but i like healty chicks that you can not see their bones. Im not fat or skinny myself and try to eat balanced diet, yes being 16 helps with not being fat, but i can also do 1 handed push ups with either hand and my legs are strong. Also have a 6 pack etc, That being said im no body builder either.

Its not like im a fat guy expecting a perfect girl, i also take the time to look after myself so i would appreciate that fact in a girl as well. Nobody is perfect but i would like a girl who looks after ones self. But model skinny is just yuck!

i agreee. i dont find most fassion models attractive. i dont like it when women look like they eat as often as they take their car in for inspection.
