Every man has his own tastes.
For me I don't mind if a woman is a bit chubby. But if she is 30-50lbs over weight then yes that is concerning from a "how healthy is she?" point of view. Being extremely over weight is simple not healthy. Also I do what I can to stay in shape, why would I want to date someone that does'nt mind or care about being over weight? But this is just my out look. I don't see it as being shallow but instead more of a preference.

This is really as Wantedman said something that differs from person to person...I once read that the result of a research among more than 1000 men, most of them actually liked women with size, nice curves and a bit proportional. My personal idea about this is that it seems true because most and lot of the men I know (including myself) like women that have it along with them....however alot of these same people (now I will honestly exclude myself) tend to go along...in the eyes of others with the fact that they rather be seen with the "ideal typical" slim figured women, which I find is stupid because I dont like pretending...If I like something it doest matter what the world think...it's my preference and you either accept me for who I am or you just pick up and go...

You shouldn't be focussing too much on being a bit more than others in size..believe me..there are thousands of men out there that like the "Bigger " woman.....just keep in mind what Wantedman just said....

Being extremely over weight is simple not healthy.

A real woman has curves. If you weigh 300 lbs or more, that is unhealthy, but what is more important, is you are healthy.

Some skinny/slim women do not look healthy. Some models are so slim they look like a 10 yr old boy. If a guy wants to hug or sleep with a hard bony stick, it sounds uncomfortable.

Now a women with cures, is soft to cuddle and has something to hold on to. (this is what males have told me, including my boyfriend.) Same goes for men. I love to cuddle teddy bears so if the man has a bit of flesh on him (and is healthy), he'd be nice to cuddle.

Your boyfriend is certainly right!!!!

there isn't a problem with a full figured woman...actually, in Cosmopolitan, it's said that the AVERAGE size of a woman is size FOURTEEN......

What??? are you kidding me????? MEN LOVE CURFVES....

Maybe it's you being picky and girl, that is NOT a problem.......

don't ever settle and yes, please do not be discouraged...... there ARE men out there who love a chick with curves!

I have had 'curves' all my life...sometimes little curves and sometimes NICE curves (such as now ) and I do NOT have a problem meeting men, I just meet men whom I don't really want to put the effort into...

I agree that being ..........oh, let's say 5 feet tall and over 300 pounds is more a concern about health and not necessarily being "sexy or available".....but full figured girls??? we ROCK


FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE YOU, YOU NEED TO LOVE YOURSELF FIRST.........EMBRACE IT GIRL............ AND YOUR OPPORTUNITES WILL BE ENDLESS.......

CHEERS TO YOU!

CURVY

I have nothing against dating bigger women but not obese
I'm not into excessively over weight women never have been and come to think of it I am not attracted to women so skinny they have no ass......no boobs and only an attractive skeletal frame
A women who is full figured, has curves and keeps active could be an attraction for me if she liked watching hockey.... bonus

eeeeeeeeexactly....BUT!!! hockey sucks...HOWEVER, I WOULD watch it if my man liked it!

Yeah i am not 300 pounds but i have had kids and before them i was 115 pounds and got lots of men wanting to talk to me, but since my spilt with my hubby and had my kids i have more meat on the bones and i know thier is men out thier that do like curves but when i go out they seem to flock to the skinny ones.

I believe that if a woman is confident with herself, and healthy, men respond to that. Whether you are a size 2, or size 20. Obviously, grossly overweight is not a drawing card, but there are many health issues with that as well. I am by no stretch, super model material. But I am able to draw second glances, because of how I carry myself and what I think of myself.

ok I THINK I was 115 when I was 13 years old!

HOWEVER, don't look back at what you USED to look like...you are just beating yourself up with a stick if you do that!

look at HOW YOU LOOK NOW............. that, my friend, is what counts! (and I never said you were 300 pounds...I was hypathetically speaking....)

as the prevoius post said, doesn't matter if you are a size 2 or 20...it's all in your personality and how you carry yourself!

Guys don't want "a stick in the mud" but, want someone who can have F-U-N, let her hair down and just be herself....

once you can do that, you have won half the battle....

slim women aren't a bad thing...different strokes for different folks.....so, maybe the men YOu are attracted to, aren't attracted to women such as yourself....

please, don't take what I said to offense..... sometimes the truth hurts....

go out there.....have fun.....make every night or day seem like the last one..... and you will see that ONCE you pass that stage of "before my kids I was 115". and accept YOU for what you are now, things will MOST DEFINATELY get better

guys love women who are independant, funny and whom can be themselves....try that! I am sure your social life will SKY ROCKET!

Good luck to you girl!

Cheers!

Curvy

l somewhat agree here girls. l love myself and am confident in the fact that l am the way l am and if men dont like me the way l am, its ok l am confident enough and love myself enough to be alone.
l had always been on the average size (115 lbs) but after having my children and having a family history l gained a few pounds. l have had 3 surgeries in the abdominal area and having back problems havent been able to get the stomach area back in shape. Lets just say l have a stomach and its not a pretty one. Yes l am a larger so called woman but when men see the stomach they just arent interested.
l get so many compliments on here and a few other sites, saying pretty, sweet, sexy and other words but they can only see me from boobs up lol....if they saw the stomach part they would walk away and not look back...
so see l somewhat agree, men want woman with yes maybe curves and maybe skinny, never a woman who has a stomach...having kids is a hard job and men really dont see that...
l have been single for over 11 years and have only dated 2 men in that time and havent been on a date in 3 years....

A couple of the women on here have already expressed how i feel about this subject.

YOU have to be comfortable with your size for others around you to be comfortable with it.

I agree that all men have their own personal preferences, then again so do women...I don't believe its necessarily a derogatory thing if a man does not prefer my curves.

I LOVE being curvy....I would never want to lose that...(and yes you can be healthy with curves!! Go figure )...

The man in my life as well as the men i have dated were surprised to find that my own attitude towards being a curvy woman, changed their own outlook towards ALL curvy women.

Yeah thats the thing i am proud of my curves it just seems that alot of men are NOT!!! and yes having kids does do something with a woman's body that some changes are not for the better some think..... I only have pics on here that are of my face never a full body one but when i do meet someone on here i am always honest with them on how i look out of the pic, and after we chat for for a bit and have to go i never hear from them again.... I know it is not of the way i act i am very friendly, kind and make friends easily so it must be the way i look from what they cant see from the pic. Of course that does not stop me from still chatting thier is someone out thier that would love to cuddle with someone with meat on thier bones, just finding it harder and harder to find someone who is comfy with they way i look as I am!!!!

Ok...read you forum, and your profile..and the other things with people have written. I would like to put in my opinon..and this is from the heart..really it is. I adore full figure women. They have the best attitudes, hearts, and mentalities of amy women I know. I find them atractive, and desirable. You AlbertaGirl are very attractive and have a wonderful profile. There is a great guy in this pond just waiting to be caught by you. When i cuddle witha woman, I like to know she is ther and that I can hug and hold without breaking. I enjoy being huged and held back with some umph..if you know what I mean. You are a treasure and a wonderful woman. I think your best days are ahead of you. Full Figure is the best of all worlds. Keep it real, be yourself, be content, be happy, and all will be good. Hope this helps..and it was from my heart. Chuck.

Curves are OK, much better than skinny, but some women waddling around all overweight should have a good look at themselves.

Curvy women can't do much about it, that's the way they are, but I'm sure many of the overweight type can. Some exercise and proper diet could be a start.

There's too much emphasis on the 'perfect figure' (whatever that is) and women should take less notice of it, life would be much easier for them.

That said, men are not immune to this either and women would have every right to comment on them as well.

Im friendly with everybody ,but for dating give me a heavier woman,real skinny and I dont get along.

everyone one has preference...i know more guys who are into skinny women but some who don't mind a few extra pounds but then there is unhealthy overweight as well....me personally i'm into guys who are in shape and skinny cause its what i like

i prefer bigger women over the skinny ones its just what i like. i think more guys choose skinny girls because they are worried what there friends and other people might think.

with me it depends on persanality and wormth of hart be the woman hevy or lite curvy or slender


persanality and wormth of hart most of all


but i agree ther is un helthy over wate or obease and i cant go ther i draw my line at that
