I met my husband when he was about 220lbs @ 5ft 8. He's not particularly tall and not average weight, he's a big guy, now he's 235lbs and I'm soo attracted to him anyway. He's considered morbidly obese but I don't care. Don't see it really.

The largest man i dated was a gorgeous man from Gyauna (spelled wrong i am sure.) He was very dark skin, about 6ft8 and about 320.

The skinnest man i dated was 6ft and 138 and he was almost see thru white.

I like them all sizes. I am not sure that i would date someone that has a hard time getting around. I am SOOO active that it would cause issues. I am not the sit around type. But they could be huge as long as they were still active and wanting to do stuff.

I did settle down with a skinny though. But i had to talk it out with family and friends and him bc i was afraid that it would build on my insecurities and stuff, i mean. FOR REAL> he is 33 and still in 30/34 jeans. Shopping for both of us is difficult!! lol.

Ok this is a great topic. Me and my friends talk about it alot. I have one very skinny friend and she prefers bigger men with meat on them. Another one of my friends is MO and she likes big guys as well. She tried to get me to go to a dating website for Big and Beautiful people. I told her as strange as it sounds I dont like big guys (well at least in weight LOL) I have always dated tall guys who are pretty much fit. A little pudge in the belly is ok but as long as its not a beer belly or more. Also black men and older men always are hitting on me. I'm 26. But Im just not physically attracted to them. My feeling is many men dont like fat girls and thats fine with me but I feel I have the right to not like fat guys. It sounds very bad but i cant help it.

This poll was the best ever!!! I discuss this with my co workers all the time. I used to be small up until I had my daughter 13 years ago and i got bigger and bigger. At 9 months pregnant I weighed 202, now I am 168. When I was small I would never ever date a fat man. REALITY check, after gaining weight and being fat my mind frame changed. I would date a fat man but I dont think I would be very interested in a very obese man unless he had a whole bunch of other good qualities, Good credit, good job, nice car, money saved,christian, great personality, good looking, good to me etc....

I don't mind a guy who is a little chunky, as long as he's got some junk in his trunk. I'm just not attracted to those guys with huge belly's and NO butt.

lol..sorry....I'm a butt girl.

I have never in my life had a relationship that lasted for than 4 years. I don't know why, But I believe that a lot of it has to do with my own self esteem. I literally sabotaged in many ways my last relationship 4 years ago because I couldn't believe that anyone would actually find me pretty. We actually fought over my self depreciation and negative self image.

I am hoping to get past this. I have always viewed myself as ugly...I look in the mirror....I see ugly.

But I AM WORKING ON IT. And I hope that someday....there is someone out there for me.

(Before I'm too old...lol):)

I would have to agree with you on that! I do the same self sabbatoge and I do need to change my point of view. I love me inside. I even think that at times I am pretty, until I see my weight...my double chin, my stomach, my fat...:faint:

Oh well, thats what I am here for....to start woring on it...

Hang in there and good luck!

My husband doesn't like Hollywood type bodies, either. This works out well for me. But I got the band because my weight was driving me nuts. I felt embarrassed and humiliated by it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
