Most all of the guys I've ever asked have said that they prefer a girl who's not super-skinny - they say it's just unattractive and that they'd prefer a girl who's a little bit more normal sized. That being said, though, when I've asked if they'd date girls who weighed more than average, the responses varied.
Generally, I don't care about weight. I wouldn't date someone who weighed half as much as I do, because I weigh about 135 - that would mean that the guy would weigh almost 68 pounds, which is as much as a 10-year-old boy should weigh. Um.
I wouldn't mind dating a guy who weighed twice as much as I did as long as it didn't cause problems with his health. 270 and healthy is fine; 270 and not able to walk up a staircase is another.
What thinketh you?

How about healthy?
I would not date someone who weighed twice (300lbs) or half (75lbs) as much as I do. Health is very important to me, and neither of those weights, obviously, are healthy. It's not from a shallow stand point, because I'm definitely not the thinnest girl out there. But, it's imperative for me to be in a relationship with someone that has the same values as I do. My guy doesn't have to be a body builder or run marathons. But, he has to care about himself.
no i probably wouldnt date someone who's 300 pounds. sure it sounds mean but i'm just being honest. but at the same time i don't want someone who weights 75 pounds either.
Normal sized. That's what.
@sheflourishes@xanga - hey we're the same weight =p
Healthy and normal.
yeah why not ...
I tend to be interested in personality over looks. I'm not interested in a persons weight as a standard for dating... I'm only 90 pounds (nature not dieting) so dating someone half my weight is not an option. I've gone out with a couple Japanese guys who were close to my weight though. The biggest guy I ever dated was around 3 times my weight and he's a super awesome sweet heart but he moved away found a really sweet girl, got married and left me behind... The guy I'm dating now is around twice my weight.
I wouldn't go with someone I couldn't easily carry
I'm not sure why you chose to ask the question this way! Anyway, I'm a very small person, so it's not like a person of twice my weight is an unusually large or heavy person. With no hesitation, I would date a guy weighing 2 to 3 times what I weigh (160-240 lbs).
twice as much in weight if it is mostly muscle weight, then yes, I'd date the Rock in the scorpion king movie
half as much weight is a bit creepy because then he'd make me look fat and that's not hot, so no.
My SO is twice my weight exactly, and very healthy. He's built very dense. I'm 11, he's 220.
As long as my boyfriend is healthy, I think he's fine. If at his height he weighed twice as much as I did... which would be 210... nah. not too healthy for his size. And half? He wouldn't be alive. Unless he was like 10 years old and weighed 52.5 pounds. hmm...
some of you people aren't considering height. while 300 pounds may sound obese, it could be considerably fit depending on someone's height. if you're such a health nut you would know this. duh.
My actual bf weighs twice as much i do but then again i only weigh around 104 lbs. I actually like dating big guys. idk i just feel protected/safe whenever im with someone talller/bigger. so yea twice as much as i weigh is cool but not half...thats just wrong.
Well, it depends. I wouldn't date a guy who weighed half as much as me either. He'd either have to be ten years old like your guy or extremely anorexic. If he weighed more, it would depend. If he weighed twice as much as me, unless he was a football player I don't figure that'd be healthy. If the weight was muscle mass or something equally healthy, that'd be fine. But if it's just fat, he'd be really unhealthy. Ah damn I don't know, it depends.
I would date a guy double my weight:D and I am right now. I'm 5'7" 115, and he's 6'4" 250 :) haha
But as for me dating someone half my weight... no way.
the guy i'm dating is double my weight
but i'm 5'5 and he's over 6 ft so it works
:D
but i wouldn't date someone half my weight
I'm trying to be more healthy and i enjoy working out and if my guy can't even keep up with me then he's out the door. I'm more into healthy, fit guys.
when i was 200 pounds, overweight as it may be but i was healthiest i ever been. i walked a lot, i was doing a lot of body workout at a job i worked at.. while as my best friend was at that time like 121 pounds size 6, the unhealthiesty woman, she cudnt go up or down the stairs without running out of breath.
therefore, weight shud never be the factor of dating life. looks and personality should be the number one on the top list then the next shud be the healthy status of the person.
otherwise, what's the point of dating the hottest woman/man who weights so light but is not the healthiest as a obese/overweight people can be?
sure, i would love to date whoever that got a great look, [though sadly im obese as of lately, so my last two dates were smaller than me.]
*sigh*
My boyfriend weighs 2x as much as me, and then some.Â
I am 5'3 and 115, he's 6'4 and 240.Lol.He's the light of my life.i like bigger guys. not like obese. but i like them built or a bit chubby. im a tiny person. skinny wise but still, i like them a bit bulky.
Nope. 25kg is anorexic, and 100kg is crazy obese.
double = 360lbs... no thanks
half = 90lbs which is a bit skinny, but if it works it works
I like guys who have some flesh so that when I hug them, it's not all bones. lol my boyfriend isn't too skinny, but he's not too big either. :) I'm happy with his weight.
