How much does weight matter?

[Anonymous]

If you look at amateur porn sites, plenty of overweight women are getting lots of action. Isn't 2/3 of the American population overweight. None of them are having sex? No one is attracted enough? I'm skeptical.

To sum up: it matters, to some more than others. To some it's even positive.

That's racist as hell.

How is that racist? My sister who is about 75 lbs overweight found herself in a dead dating zone for a while and started accepting dates from men regardless of race or religion. She's now very happily married to one of the coolest guys ever, and he's AA, she's white. Her boyfriend before him, also black. wouldnt it be more racist to say I won't date AA or Latinos, only white men?

My black co-worker was desperate to gain her bubble butt back when she lost it nursing. Another heavy white co-worker is married to a black man. Black men are much more accepting of curvy women IN GENERAL.

Agree its a white ppl issue to be bone thin. My ex who was into taking care and eating organic yet was naturally skinny wanted no fat chicks. He ran a doctors office and was white. Being latina he loved my bubble butt but i have a chubby past and always feared id gain too much that he would run to a skinny blonde. After him i dated asian and other hispanic men who were ok with my chubby past.

Pp here actually take it back a little. More than 1 white guy though who dated non white women were into my bubble booty.

Nah. She looks to be in her twenties. That's how women look when they are normal weight and not obese. But the new "normal" is the one on the right since nearly 1/2 of adult women are fat.

Agree with 8:38 - that's not an unrealistic body. She has boobs and she has hips and she has a small waist. Classic hourglass figure. Clearly takes care of herself but doesn't starve herself. And yes, it's easier to look like that in your 20's before kids and age and menopause have taken a toll.

+2. Or just gaining weight. If she gained 3 lbs every yr for 10 yrs, that's 30 lbs or going from 120lbs to 150 lbs and no more hourglass figure.

It's sad that pp thinks that a "normal" curvy body on the left can only be achieved through plastic surgery. It's normal to be overweight or obese now even for younger people.

You cannot get an hourglass figure by "taking care of yourself" if you are not built that way. Your waist to hip ratio is set by your skeleton structure and short of removing ribs, you cannot alter your waist or hip circumference. This applies to women who are not overweight, obviously.

There are different body types, sure. But a classic hourglass figure has always been around and that's been what men describe as "curvy" and prefer not the 20, 30,... 100+ overweight which is what "curvy" has come to mean.

That is true (the distinction between "curvy" and "fat"). I was objecting to the notion that you can achieve an hourglass figure by "taking care of yourself". That is simply untrue if your body is not built that way. Because no amount of exercise or diet will change a waist-to-hip ratio on a body that isn't overweight.

I could never date a guy who is not at least 6 feet, very fit and muscular, has perfect teeth, nice haircut. No baldies please. If you let yourself go, I'm sorry but I'll start looking at other men. I just can't help that I won't be attracted to you any more. And please don't be a loser making minimum wage.

Why don't you start a new topic. Don't be so lazy.

Because I think there have been enough body shaming posts. I was trying to make a point.

Your point is lost by making over-the-top restrictions on the type of guy you will date, versus the topical thread which is simply that thin women get 1000000X more attention.
Instead, it seems that your only point is to take offense that men almost universally prefer a thin woman.
This is not body shaming, this is just a basic fact of male/female attraction.

BTW, 2-3 lbs per year is what happens to most people. It's just that they don't address it and then they have to lose 30 lbs which seems difficult. Me - I get aggressive if I go up 5 lbs and then I don't ever have a major problem.

Yes, but I almost exclusively date non-white graduate-educated women.
