Now that YOU are THIN/NER would YOU DATE A MO person
H#ll no. My husband is 6'2 and currently 225. A while back he was 255 and some activities were uncomfortable. I felt like I was being crushed. I also notice opposites attract. You don't see really big guys chasing big girls.

OK...I'll chime in on this. I'm not really attracted to either extreme.....anorexic thin....or...... SMO women......Kinda in the middle somewhere. It also depends on how they carry that weight.......2 women....say...200lbs....same height....can look VERY different! I like voluptuous women....W/ lotsa curves. Between a choice of 50lbs...overweight....or......15lbs underweight....I'll take the 50lbs!
BTW I have dated "average" women....and obese women.....I was fine W/ either choice. Now with that said....in my "younger" days......I wanted the "hot" chick. I learned very quickly...that....."psycho/drama queen *****".....trumps ...."hotness" every time. I'll take an average "overweight" woman any day over that ****!
Wanna know the difference between....a fake dollar bill....and......an anorexic chick? The dollar bill is a "phony" buck! ha ha ha!

Oh my, Jimbo - I hope that doesn't exclude me cuz you're my OH man!!!!! No, for the same reasons I would never date someone who uses tobacco, smokes, drinks(habitual not social), or does drugs.
I wouldn't want to be burying my husband decades before I die. I am married to a guy 6'4", 190 pounds. 34 inch waist and I know I am so lucky he is still with me. I am 100 pounds heavier than when we met and he has been an absolute gentleman about it.
I used to date larger guys too, if I was single I still would. The thing is they would have to be already committed to or in the process of changing their life. We can't change people, they have to want it for themselves. My biggest fear with larger guys is falling in love with one and then having him die of a heart attack a few years later. How devastating. I am also unable to be the one in control. If he wants to eat out I'll be the last person able to withstand that. I need someone strong to help me stay the course. I hope my husband will be that man and make sure I don't cheat after surgery. I want this so much.

Many years ago my husband and I separated. I met a guy who was 15 years younger than me and weighed about 500 lbs. He was handsome as he could be, very personable, great natured and lots of fun. I never went out with him but there was certainly electricity in the air when we were near each other. If it were not that I was married and not sure if my husband was going to come back I probably would have gone out willingly with this person. I really don't think it matters to me what size a person is as long as there is chemistry and the man is a good man who would care for me and cherish me and my children as I would him and his children.
I have never been attracted to MO or obese men and I don't expect that to change. It was part of the reality slap for myself that pushed me into surgery. Turnabout is fair play, after all. I knew *I* was worth being attracted to, but wasn't getting attention from the kind of men I wanted. I took a very long hard look at that and decided to change *my situation* rather than *my standards.* It may not be fair, but it is what it is.
That said, I think MO and even obese people have always been a trigger for my own self-hatred issues surrounding my own obesity. So it's not them I wasn't attracted to, it was me! And once I get my own weight and food issues under control, I think dating a MO man would be an unwelcome and unnecessary risk to my success.
Finally, when I was happily married, I loved my husband at 180 and I still loved him at 230. Never batted an eye about it. (Conversely, when we were no longer happily married, I hated him as much at 230 as I do now that he's lost weight, haha). When it's right between two people, it's right.

I have not been MO all my life. I never had a problem dating someone bigger than me or MO. I met my husband and I was MO but not as big as I am now. My husband weighs 170 5'11. I'm glad that he would date an obese person.
In my heart I will always be a fat girl. We are the people that did not pass judgment quickly. Also can see through a lot and see good. Also see the MO person and see a beautiful smile and personality. I want to lose weight to be healthier and have a family. If you like - person, like them for what's within. Help them is they have a problem, and it may be weight. Because we are making this decision doesn't mean that everyone has the ability to do so. I was blinded and was scared to make this decision but I know that was the best thing for me. Anyway...
