I am currently in this situation and after months of struggling with it, I have decided to break up with him. I am a very active/fit person. I run marathons, play tennis, weightlift, do yoga, swim, and cycle. I would be happier with someone who is also active and health conscious like myself. Even more importantly, though, is the fact that he would not be a good role model to my future children. If I want my children to understand that eating healthy (and eating to fuel your body -- not eating for the wrong reasons), and exercising daily, are important things that every person should do, then I need to be with someone else who also models those values. There is just no way I could make a LTR work with someone who is obese, because it is contrary to everything I value and practice in my own life. I had to reach a place in my own life where I decided to be disciplined enough to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight, and I lost weight through Weight Watchers. I am not a "lifetime thin" person -- but I am someone who reached a place where I realized I had to take responsibility for how I feed and care for my body -- no more excuses! And having done so, I simply do not feel compatible with someone who is undisciplined and does not maintain a healthy weight.

honestly, no. I am not superficial but I would not be attracted to an overweight person. When I say overweight, I mean obese. A little thick I might be able to handle but obese no. The reason is b/c if they don't care about themselves anymore than that-to become obese, then I can't respect them. Plus I am not attracted to obese people. If my b/f gained alot of weight and became obese, I would still love him and would stay with him but I would not start dating someone new who was obese.

I would date a slightly plump person with a few extra pounds yes - but grossly overweight no - reason being that I enjoy the outdoor life - horses - walking - that kinda thing and I need a fairly fit person to keep up with me - which unfortunately an overweight person may not be able to.

Honestly to tell you the truth i would date someone who is fat or overweight. I don't even expect them to be perfect in everyway. Cuz i know i'm not perfect in any way. When i date people i try not to look at their physical appereance i try to date people for who they are inside. really and trully that is how i feel about this subject.

yeah, probably! I mean, why not? weight isnt the decider of all things, and if they are truly genuine...sure! Although, its not healthy to be overweigth, so Imay want them to try and lose some after we started going out, but I would support and help them all the way. I know a couploe who are married, a young couple, and she is overweight, and he is not, but they are completely in love, and she is still so beautiful-so weight isnt everything!

I have already dated an overweight guy. I somehow think that dress size is completely unimportant. But it would be important if his size was damaging his health, then I'd try to make him see he needs to lose weight.

Tell he?she that if they wanna be with you they have to lose the weight and quit with all the food. But if they said no they would be out the door in a second

well i have been with alot of over weight man, and my reason for this, is because i fall in love with who they are inside,, nothing to do with money or with look's , cause i found that after a while, i would find them to be great looking as well, after i have been with them for so long, this guy was a mate at first, and he was so funny, always made me laugh, and i dont care on wether or not he is fat, allthough he was. i loved him for who he was inside, and also outside as well.i dont go by look's.i rather be happy and inlove.
