All my life I have been attracted to a petite figure. However my girlfriend (of 4yrs) is a size 12. I love her unconditionally and we are best friends. I am extremely attracted to her and her figure. You could say I am converted.
I'd like to hear what men and women have to say to this?

Well it's made me decide I want to spend the rest of my life with her.
Before I was unsure

okay maybe she is a 14....it doesn't matter to me. She could be a 20 and I'd love her the same

That's good, you accepted her as she is and didn't try to make her change into the image that you wanted her to be, that's a very noble thing and a definite sign of unconditional love. Now you see the beauty in a woman's figure period and not just the girls that wear a size 3. Women can be beautiful no matter what shape they are, as long as they know how to work with what they were born with.

Well it is good that you are able to admire attractiveness outside of that narrow society standard of beauty. (Size 6 or smaller). It is nice to hear that a man is not hung up on shallow size factor too.
The average woman is a size 16. So your girlfriend has a way to go before she is truly considered "full figured".

12 is not a plus size!! a size 12 is a healthy normal weight. A woman with curves.. thats what a man SHOULD be attracted to.. someone with boobs and a bum. Not a skinny little girl.
But its what on the inside that counts..not the outside.

You would be the one to say "what did it" for you not us. I do not think size 12 is a "oplus size woman" dear one. That is the average not big,large, heavy or obese by any means.
But comments I've heard over time include..
there's something about being romantic with someone who doesn't feel like a twig when you hug them.
OR...more cushion for the pushin'
OR...our bones don't scrape against one anothers like it did when I was with the skinny girl
OR...I like the curves

I don't know if you are "converted", but it sounds like you found a woman you are compatible with on an emotional level who happens to be plus size. Usually if you have been dating a woman for a long period of time, you overlook her physical characteristics and connect to her in other areas.

I think it is great that you have been able to break free of the mindset that only petite wokmen can be beautiful. I have been struggling with that my entire life and have thrown away endless shots at finding love because I am nopt as strong as you. Bravo...

Well that is sweet. It doesn't mean you are converted it means that you can love somebody for who they are not by the what the tag says in her jeans. If your girlfriend has a great heart and treats you right than that's what matters.

what is wrong with plus size a size 12 is not a plus size! Nothing is wrong with you it is fine to like large weight girls. Some people just look at a girl and see she is a little heavy and they say oh she is to fat to be my girlfriend that is just rude and hurtful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i think it's just that since you've been with her, u realize that size doesn't really matter. just because she's not a stick thin model doesn't mean she's any less of a person, ya know?
