Do overweight people find other overweight people attractive?

    I never really see many skinny people going out with overweight people. Are overweight people attracted to others like them or do they just lack the self esteem to attract a slim person.

    Are they more likely to be able to look beyond other peoples physical flaws or do they just force themselves to because they have no other choice.

    What about if they lose the weight, will they then think they finally deserve a slim person?

    No, they are too stupid to understand the concept of attractiveness.

    Easy, close the lid, turn off, go down and make a crate of sandwhich


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,006 ✭✭✭MistyCheese


    Pfft, no-one on the Internet is fat. You're whatever size you type you are.

    Fat people are definately attracted to fat people, then they go on to have fat babies. Don't you know anything about genetics?



    I can't find it in english.

    I banged a fat chick few yrs back she only wanted to do it in the dark which was fine coz i wouldn't of got it up otherwise...

    Verdict - It was awful scarred for life & could only do 1 position :o


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,007 ✭✭✭SIX PACK


    She was so fat that when she walked in front of the tv. I missed a whole commerical :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    Who gives a shit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,920 ✭✭✭✭stephen_n


    I think your supposition is more than slightly flawed, that fat people only get fat people. I have seen plenty of couples with radically different figures. Attraction happens on many levels which is probably a good thing since such a high percentage of Irish people are over weight. I have noticed that that you are far less likely to see a skinny girl with a fat bloke for some reason though. R.ather than the other way around


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,449 ✭✭✭SuperInfinity


    I think it takes a certain type of person to find an overweight person attractive. I think males who have a bit extra may also fare a bit better than females who have a bit extra.

    A part of the reason could be "matching up", you know psychologically and in different aspects. But I doubt that because a person is fat, they'll like fat people more and not thin people as much for physiological reasons.

    I don't see anything so great about slim women, curves are definitely better.
    Slim woman may look "pretty", but that's not the same as sexy.

    Hey OP, do you mind answering this for us? Just curious like...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,475 ✭✭✭KaiserGunner


    Obviously depends on the person,but its the same as asking do old people find other old people attractive?

    Curves aren't necessarily = fat though. And slim can also be curvy. :)

    Ya, i agree -but, when a woman describes herself as curvy,- she means fat. Trust me on this one, - Iv been on dating sites :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,215 ✭✭✭Mrmoe


    I think men are biologically programmed to be attracted to women that would be considered curvy. There aren't too many skinny women that would be more attractive. The critcal aspect is that they are and appear healthy.

    I think you will find the particular relationship is directly porportional to lack of attractivesness by salary = down grade;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,867 ✭✭✭Demonique


    Well this creepy frak certainly doesn't find other obese people attractive

    http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com/showthread.php?tid=16238

    He even thinks that people shouldn't be allowed to wear engagement or wedding rings to work or have pictures of their children on their desks as it reminds more socially-retarded inepts (i.e. him) that they're not a relationship

    Are you fat?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,327 ✭✭✭Sykk


    It depends how fat... I'm kinda shallow but I wouldn't turn a girl down over a few extra pounds if she was really good looking and sound.

    :D:D LMAO but dating sites are home to a whole 'nother language anyway, Good Sense of Humour = Laughs at own jokes; 40's = 49 + 364 days; Keep myself young = have a combover and wear jeans ... the list goes on ...

    I think there's something in what the OP said, in that we tend to go for people who we believe are at a similar attractiveness level to us. People also tend to get love chub when they're in a relationship so you can end up fat after starting out slim. End of the day you can't see personality across the dance floor so people will judge on a) looks and b) what they reckon they can score

    Penny :p

    Curves on Italian/south american = sexy hourglass shape

    if an Irish woman describes herself as curvy she's more likely to resemble a guinness barrel


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 717 ✭✭✭Noodleworm


    I'm pretty sure its a no.
    I used to be bigger when I was younger and people seemed to assume this.

    If anything low self esteem might make you settle for anyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Yes, we do find fat women attractive.
    In fact, fat women are the only women we find attractive.
    The thing is that we are afraid that we will break skinny chicks in two with our fat cocks (what? you thought it was just the belly, legs and arms that got fat?).
    Fat chicks are able to accommodate our large size because their vagina gets wider with extra weight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,198 ✭✭✭strokemyclover


    As a slim person who intends to get a lot fatter later in life I have been mulling over a response to this thread for some time and found the below answer sufficient

    regardless of the size of a girls vagina its suppose to accommodate any size of willies!

    I remember there was this big fat guy who used to play rugby with me a few years ago and he used to go out with skinny girl

    Do stupid people find other stupid people attractive?
    I think they do actually, they have a lot in common, they use the same language as each other like "I soo love shiny things", "OMG! I love shiny things".
    I think males who have a bit extra may also fare a bit better than females who have a bit extra.
    I don't think that's true at all, there's a man out there for every woman, no matter what's perceived to be wrong with her there's a man with that particular fetish looking for her. Many men have little to no standards as well, so I think the women have a better chance of finding someone.
