I created this poll because of an article I read about this 728 lb woman that is trying to gain 100 lbs./yr. until she reaches 1600 lbs. She is a plus size model in Arizona.

Some people are just big.
Women are voluptuous and men can be stocky.

NAKEDMUDPEOPLE: Some people are just big.

A 728 lb. person who is trying to reach 1600 lbs. is not just big, not just stocky, and certainly not voluptuous.
She is also not intelligent, and whatever her face started out looking like, by 728 lbs. it is no longer going to be cute except possibly in the eyes of an actual hippopotamus.

There's no excuse for that kind of deliberate gluttony..

Would I "go out" with a confident 728 lb. woman? How could she even GET out if she tried? That's just totally obscene and inexcusable.

I'll take sheep any day over human hippos.

Agree, not all people were born with model-size-shape.
Confidence, intelligence and inner beauty are much more interesting and attractive!

RDM59: And if you had the choice between two self-confident women that you liked the personality of equally, one was super fit and athletic and the other one, let's say 'not so athletic'..... what then ..... ... which one would you choose, now be honest D ....


Ok, to be honest -- and btw, good morning R -- if the first one you described happened to be Liebe2, there'd be no contest. BUT, I could still maintain that the self-confidence was the key element.

I really believe that both men & women react more primally to self-confidence than to any other trait, I do.

I saw that article too... and saw how her body took up much of the couch she was sat on... dear oh dear... and that she had a son in the pic... double dear oh dear... shows a complete disrespect to her own body, as I fear that she will put too much pressure on her internal organs, so something is bound to go wrong...uh oh

Personally, I thing she should be locked up in a padded cell.. but that is just my opinion...

As for now I reckon I have struck gold in all departments, Spanish gold ..yay .. she is 'muy caliente' in my eyes and that is all that matters at the end of the day for us all.....wine

Obesity is a turn off.
Stupidity is a turn off.

Confidence very often goes with stupidity. The stupidest people are often the most confident, because they're too stupid to know how ignorant and horrid they are, and too apathetic too care. Beyond even that, they actually enjoy and are proud of every horrible thing about themselves, because they're stupid.

What is the subtle distinction between "confidence" and aggression?

The most intelligent people are very often the ones who appear the most insecure. They'll often be called shy, even if shyness has nothing to do with it. They've learned to hold themselves back from a society full of aggressive idiots.

And so you keep going after the aggressive idiots, the ones who are proud of their own gluttony and therefore appear "confident" to you, and then you come back later with your horror stories of what selfish jerks they "turned out to be". And you go around crying about why can't you find any "sensitive, caring" guys.

Well the sensitive ones are the intelligent ones, more often than not the quiet ones, and very often the ones you perceive as insecure, and therefore unattractive in your eyes.
Stupidity, aggression, and loudness, go together, and they pass themselves off as confidence. party

Overweight wouldn't bother me at all. Obesity, is a BIG turnoff.
I realize some people have health problems that keep them from loosing weight and therefore are overweight, but there is no excuse for obesity.
That CAN be prevented. No I would not go out with an obese person.

No, I understand where you are coming from....Here's the thing, although "obesity" would not be a "criteria" from me, having common interests, values, goals, etc, would be...Morbid obesity would directly affect these things, so it would indirectly affect my choice to date or not date...See what I mean?? bouquet

I agree with you, as regards the difference between overweight and obese.

Weight doesnt bother me either, but someone who is clinically/morbidly obese for any reason other than an unavoidable health issue is a No-Go. Not because so much of the way they look, but because their obesity would mean they are putting their life at risk, and therefore those of others close to them. A morbidly obese man, for instance, may not live to see their children grow up, and therefore would not be an attractive proposition as regards starting a family with. Or a morbidly obese woman many not be able to have children due to the dangers to her health through pregnancy, so ditto...

Even here in Health Insured America, gastric band operations are affordable sometimes, so there is really no excuse for dangerous obesity, and it could be construed as being extremely selfish to allow oneself to get to that point.

As for overweight, she'd have to score well in all the other areas, very well.
