Do you find overweight people attractive?

[St0rmer66]

Is that right? Do you know me? I'm not going to lose too much sleep over what a forum full of narcissitic sex gods thinks I may or may not look like, I promise you. I just wonder what the point of this thread really is, given that anyone that doesnt conform to the OP's 'opinion' is open to degrading, hurtful and utterly pointless comments under the guise of 'having an opinion'

"narcissistic sex gods" - that made me laugh .

But the fact is, we are not talking about "ALL FAT PEOPLE ARE UGLY OMGZ". You are taking it too seriously as Zefan said. We are not even just talking about women either, though on a majority male forum of course it will lean that way when talking about attraction, not quite sure if you expected it to be any different .

Humans are instinctively attracted to a certain shape/size of person. If someone is majorly overweight then they go against the natural instinctive attractions, not much anyone can do about it apart from lose weight or lower their standards; but women on the thinner side will always be more attractive to the majority of men and visa versa. There are of course many other factors in attraction, but weight is a major one since it affects everything else.

This thread has fail written all over it, mod close this thread - if it was a thread asking ' do you find blacks / muslims attractive etc ' it would have been locked ages ago.

The above are all considered discriminating due to physical differences, just as a poster stated that why is it acceptable these days to be fat ?, is it acceptable to discriminate and spew hateful nonsense about overweight people too ?.


And I am not overweight, just before someone thinks I have a slanted perspective on this.

Rules for one and rules for another is it?

 

[peetee]

needles its perfectly acceptable tbh, theres nothing wrong with starting a thread asking if people find blacks or muslims attractive, and why perhaps they wouldnt and what skin colour etc were they?
Thats perfectly fine imo, calling it discriminating is a bit ott, theres been a few posts that are not v sensitive, but with a topic like this theres bound to be people offended by certain peoples opinions, just like in consoles how the 360 and ps3 owners are offended at each others opinions.

saying you dont find overweight people attractive because you generally dont think of them as healthy and therefore they are ugly to you mostly is not discrimination, its a perfectly viable opinion, its also got a lot to do with biology has it not??
This forum is meant for discussion, obviously theres a few bad eggs, which is why its good to see the mods taking part in this thread.

Way to show you're not taking it personally... just insult the entire userbase!

If you don't like it here, go away.

I find some overweight people attractive, but the fatter they are, the more likely they are to just not invoke any feeling at all. I'd like something to hold onto, not some bag of bones. But there are lines that have to be drawn. I'm talking flabby, rippling, stretch marks, cellulite-like abrasions, stuff like that. It's not just the curves and the unwieldiness of it all, being overweight can really be hell on the quality of your skin. Nobody wants to see stuff like that.

 

[Surfer]

I really hate these threads. a lot. the unilateral hatred and, to be frank, unmitigated bigotry regarding overweight people beggars belief. This is not aimed at all of you, but i'm pretty sure that those people who it is aimed at will work it out.

I know you are super fit millionaires with supermodel girlfriends and laser powered helicopters, whos boots i am not good enough to lick, but please consider that we have feelings, and are, oddly enough, human beings first and foremost.

I weigh about 30 stone. So what. its not like it affects you in any way. im engaged to a wonderful girl, work hard 5 days a week like the next person, have friends, hobbies and what have you. I dont require special treatment (though more legroom on the bus would be nice, im 6'1")

as for 'should not be acceptable', who the hell are you to say I am not acceptable? Substitute "fat person" for "homosexual", and its illegal, its discrimination, boohoo, poor queers whatever shall we do.

People go out of their way to defend goths, hippies, muslims, jedis etc saying ' its their life, as long as it doesnt directly affect me, what does it matter? As soon as its an overweight person its 'i hate them all, they eat so much and have the audacity to breathe my air'

Cost the taxpayer money? probably not as much as the idiots who beat each other senseless after the pub, or who smoke themselves to death or even the 6 hour queue of sports related injuries we have to sit in in A&E in order to be seen because we managed to hack our own thumb off/electrocute ourselves/get a saucepan stuck on our heads.

To be honest, im used to taking crap from complete strangers for something that is none of their business and doesnt affect them at all. I'm used to dealing with constant casual insults. I'm used to constant prejudice and discrimination. It doesn't seem right or fair, but I'm used to it, and I'm fat, so what do you care?

TG

i agree with both what you've said and what Pebbles said as well but like i said earlier. Its an internet forum people are gonna say disgusting and bigoted stuff why? because they can and its fun for them. Mods turn a blind eye occasionally because they have their personal opinions like everyone else.

BUT on the other hand - they are not attacking you personally its just them messing about i dont think they honestly mean anything personal about it.

As soon as you make things personal on a forum people will use that.

is it acceptable to discriminate and spew hateful nonsense about overweight people too ?.

on here yep seems to be.

 

[KNiVES]

I disagree with people who say overweight people will find it difficult to find relationships and such, but there is no avoiding the fact that well, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose by shedding a few. It's bad for your health for one.

What a great, constructive thread. Anyone that isn't 'slim' is likely to be lazy, dumb, blah blah blah. No personal insults but broad sweeping ones are acceptable. You can have an opinion but if it isn't towing the 'corporate line' then it's the wrong opinion. Lovely.

Agreed.

Who cares about what size you/they are as long as you/they are happy within themselves. I would rather be fat and happy than slim and depressed. I personally wouldnt go for a woman who is huge but saying that, i have a weird attraction to Dawn French. She may be big but she is pretty and funny as hell which overrides her size. My usual woman would be around
5"3 ish and a bit of puppy fat to cuddle but saying that any woman could become attractive to me no matter what size they were as long as they wern't 5 times my size or something ridiculous

You talk a lot of drivel, don't you? Starting a thread, asking if muslims are attractive is acceptable? Are you aware of what you're saying? "a few posts that are not v sensitive", come again? Try every other post, a torrent of hateful, mindless and intolerable comments that will no doubt be taken to heart by forum members. Thinking overweight people are ugly to you, may be a viable opinion, but the way in which you and others vocalise such opinions, borders on the grotesque.

"theres bound to be people offended by certain peoples opinions, just like in consoles how the 360 and ps3 owners are offended at each others opinions." Thats possibly the worst comparison I've set eyes upon, how is it ANYthing like being mocked because of your appearance? Your posts are nothing short of astounding, lined with complete ambiguity. You think you have the right to agree with Lysander and question 'my' mental calibre? Think again.

I feel for the victims of this abuse, words come easy behind a screen, don't they?

Edit: One good thing about this thread, I've learnt a lot about the nature of the people of this forum.

Who cares about what size you/they are? Well most of us on here, and we'v mostly got some very valid arguements. 5times your size, and i think we'd both agree that by ridiculous you do mean they would be ugly, in the sense you couldnt look at them as an attractive person?

..snip..

Its every other post when you lot start arguing with said people, tbh none of it is particulaly that bad bar a few posts, obviously its a sensitive matter with overweight people reading it(perhaps they have some deep underlying issue with it? maybes they are not as happy with being overweight as they make out?)
Hmm, the way i vocalise my opinion is grotesque? how? iv not even said anything particulaly disguisting, i dont find fat/overweight people attractive because i generally dont view it as healthy really, i prefer woman athletic or slender, some curves etc, some meat on them, emphasise meat, not fat rolls.

Its actually quite a valid comparison in the sense that I said it was just people being offended by others OPINIONS. If someone thinks fat people = ugly then thats fine, its their opinion, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
And yup, I couldnt see anything wrong in a thread asking whether people fancied black people, or muslims, its not discriminating, its just preference taste and opinion.

Yup, I think I also have the right to question your mental callibre, although I cant remember if iv even done this in the thread. Dont see where you seemed to have gotten the idea from that people voicing their opinions about attractiveness of weight catagorys is wrong, its not a personal attack on overweight people, its a discussion, yes theres some personal attacks, but get over it, the mods will sort the harsh ones out.

Im learning about the nature of people here too, the ones preaching that being overweight is ok seem to be really taking others opinions to heart and are making out that this is a witch hunt or something.
Im sorry but its general human nature to want to mate with healthy members of the opposite sex,(obviously theres minoritys with other tastes) and I think its safe to say the majority of fat people are fat due to self inflicted reasons, and it is not a healthy state to be in. The ones who have medical issues resulting in them being overweight then also are deemed not healthy in most peoples eyes, resulting in no attraction to mate with.

Nope i wouldn't call that ugly as such as they may have a very pretty face and be attractive to someone else. Uglyness is down to personal opinion and saying "Most of us" care about the size and "have valid arguements" against fat people is a silly thing to say. Thats just the same as saying "most of us don't like blondes/muslims/blacks" ect and have "valid arugements" against them and you should aggree with the majority. I don't think thats what your intending to say but the way you've written it gives that impression. Like i said, it doesn't matter what other people think, it's what you think is acceptable on a personal level

 

[peetee]

Well Id call it ugly, because if someone was 5times the average size I would myself find that ugly, as would the majority I think. Just you said aslong as they wernt 5times your size, or something ridiculous, I assumed you meant that you wouldnt find that attractive, hence I assumed you infact would think that was ugly As yup, its personal opinion.

Most of us = Majority, think its a fair assumption really!
Valid arguement, did i say that? Bad wording to be honest, I meant we have valid reasons which we have used to justify our opinions, yup you're right I have miss worded
Constructive post without biting my head off for being tired =)
Dont really think its QUITE the same as saying people dont like blondes/muslims etc, because hair colour and race/religion dont really have as much of a link to overall health, or lifesteal as overweight/obesity

Im glad you see what I mean though and agree that it is infact fair for people to say overweight(perhaps to broad a catagory tbh, maybes most are only picturing the top end of the scale) people are ugly(in the sense they are not attractive)

Getting quite annoying how certain people seem to think voicing an opinion about a weight catagory not attracting them, hence being ugly in their eyes is so morally wrong.

 

[I_Am_Vengeance]

It's not FAIR that the victims should have to listen your garbage about equating obesity to ugliness. People have FEELINGS, did mummy never bring you up with the " if you don't have anything nice to say, don't speak" approach?

You have the audacity to say that YOU'RE annoyed?! Jesus ******* christ, I can't imagine what the overweight populace of this forum think then! But, no doubt, you have justification for being annoyed, correct? Whilst so many against this thread are debunked and out of line.

 

[Cupra]

all of my family just about have been or are overweight, i for one was 25 stones a few years ago, i lost all the weight (got to 14 stone 7). however ive always had girlfriends, my whole family are big and they have partners so ppl do fancy overweight people otherwise anyone overweight would be single and there not

the fact is it is an opinion there is no right or wrong. its all down to the one person who is looking. or the person you are looking at, any skinny person can be attractive and so can any overweight person, lets face it theres some right minger skiny people as there is overweight people

i will say that if i was given the choice of size zero or 16 id take the 16 (curves are a lot nicer than sharp angles imo)

it matters not what the size of the exterior as its what is inside that counts and those that dont see that are the most unattractive of us all

A black person doesn't chose to be black though, so you can't compare them.

not all fat people choose to be fat so are they excluded too?

 

[Tefal]

I'm sorry that's BS if you choose to shovel your own body weight in pastry down your throat you cannot say you do not chose to be fat.

The only ones who would be exempt are that very slim number that have the disease/condition that means they never feel full and feel starving all the time.

comparing race to a something which is a choice for 99+% of people is incorrect.
But then again it is possible fore a genetic condition to change your race and for it to be done medically so therefore if you use the tiny amount to justify your self then race is a choice and we can be racist yes?
