Does weight play a part when you are looking for a date/relationship?

I like the girl that is at 30-35%, I don't like extremely skinny girls. Gotta have a little cushion to them.

 

there are points where one is too skinny, or too heavy to be healthy. it is those points, hands down, it would affect my interest. If you are too unable/unwilling to take care of your own basic wellbeing, how can you be attentive to another person. Not saying you have to be a muscle god with 6% bodyfat, but if you are destroying yourself, either by neglect or self abuse, I wont be interested.

 

I'd place myself somewhere between 25-30% on the male scale. I thin I prefer guys from maybe 15% up to about my size. Not really interested in muscley types if I'm honest.

Who am I kidding, I'll take whatever is on offer

 

none of those guys look like what i want tbh. i want a thin guy :x

 

I'm about at the 15% mark myself, and anywhere in the 25-35% range is usually what I find attractive. Bigger than me but not too much bigger

 

15% or less for me

 

I definitely prefer the 25%-35% woman. Too skinny is a huge turn off for me (Even though my body type is somewhere in between the 20%-25% >_<). And too overweight is just unhealthy. I want a healthy lady.

 

well if any guy was thinner than me that'd probably be a serious health risk. i look like the woman at the 15% mark @~@

 

I'm somewhere from a 12%-15% myself and I'd prefer someone in the 10%-20% range. I work hard to stay in shape, because when you're a t-girl shape and presentation is a very important in being seen as you are. At least it is for me, anyhow and it makes me happy.

 

Anything from 20% and downwards for me. I do like muscular toned guys, but I don't mind a bit of fat. I know it's mean, but I couldn't date a really fat person...

 

...havent measured my body fat lately but a few yrs ago I was 15 percent and didnt look like that girl at all, i was much thicker.....you gotta remember bone structure and muscle mass also change the look and shape of your body.

I do like thicker girls...like the girl at 25-30 percent has a nice body. But I dont like these charts anyways, height, limb length, muscles, where you carry your fat, all kinds of proportions change your body shape so much that this is ridiculously simplistic.

 

I'm around the 45% and my partner is a 35%er. I don't think weight ever matter to me. I always focused on the personality and openness of a woman. Physical appearance is not so important overall. There is a great book called The Beauty Myth:How Images of Beauty are used against Women by Naomi Wolf I think all young women should read. It might help with perception of true beauty.

 

You say be realistic, but my reality is that I have fantasized about individuals from across the ranges represented. My on/off partner is in the 45%+ range and weight really did not play a part in my decision to be with her. I really do not pay much attention to weight, it's more how the weight is distributed and the natural shape of the individual.



Hour glass and pear (I don't care if they call it spoon, it's a pear) I generally find quite attractive throughout the weight range represented in the opening post, whereas the other two I tend to find attractive at 30% and lower. So that generally dictates the fantasies: hour and pears in my fantasies are generally larger, whilst the rectangular and triangular shapes tend to be smaller. Even then it depends on the confidence of the individual. I have been highly attracted to very large ladies of the more rectangular shape who oozed confidence and simply dazzled me with their mannerisms... so I guess sometimes my fantasy is dictated by the personality of my fictional partner than their body shape.

However I am aware that my own insecurities regarding my body have led me to be slightly more concerned with my own body than theirs. So when it comes to dating rather than day dreaming I generally do not focus on their weight, or appearance. I'm so amazed they actually like me and find themselves attracted to me that I'm too flustered to care about whether they're at the upper or lower end of the body fat scale.

As for men I'm a fan of the bear types. Big, burly and covered in hair. As dating prospects and in fantasy land.

 

Hmm yeah, this component plays a big role for me, too. I'm somewhere between hourglass and cone/triangle, but I am mainly attracted to cone/triangle shaped women

 

Size does play a part hence groups like the bears club & heterosexual porn sites featuring BBW's.
I personally have just gone from about 30% to about 15%..So I guess it does for personal image as well.

 

20-35, maybe a 40, because I can't really see the difference between the 35 and 40. The only people I've dated were around the 35-40 body type, so I have yet to date someone less than that, but I'm open to it. In a way, the weight kind of does determine the fate of the relationship, but it's not a major factor. I just want someone who's healthy and active, but that doesn't mean they have to be 100 pounds and have abs and what not, just means that they can just be active, and not sit around all day.

 

Yeah, this scale is a little difficult to work with for me too. But on average I like Toned/Muscle/Slim-ish. Nothings a rule breaker unless he is smaller than me, because I'm fairly small and I would feel so creepy.

I'm not really attracted to larger people. I dont search for perfection. Its just that I dont normally think of them in a sexual way and our lifestyles might clash a little bit.
