Poll - Are You Attracted To Overweight People?

Ok so the other day I was watching Oprah, and there was a woman on there who had had RNY. She looked great, very much health improved. Anyways she said something that sparked my interest. She said that she is not attracted to overweight men or men who are attracted to overweight women. She was like 600 pounds to begin with, and is now about 200.

So I thought, hmmm Im gonna do a poll! I want to know how you ladies and gents feel about this issue. Just for the fun of it, just out of curiosity, and just because I really like polls.

My dear people.

I have been banned since 2000.

I was 351 and am now 238.

My wife is a 5ft 8 inch bundle of love who was much lighter when we dated and met.

I love large women, always have though.

I love the attention that thinner women give me...but I do love the larger ones !

My partner is overweight and I love every inch of him. If he got even bigger, I'd still love him and still be turned on by him, but I wouldn't consider him to be sexually attractive. Fortunately, our relationship is about more than just sexual attraction.

I voted 'within reason'. I have been attracted to guys who need to put weight on pronto and guys who are the preverbia brick ****house. Its never been about the body with me. Its always been about their mind, their sense of humour and their sparkling, cheeky eyes! But speaking of pure sex appeal, a bulging, overhanging gut does nothing for me.

Wow, this is an interesting topic! My hubby has always been really thin (too thin in the beginning) and now he is just right. occasionally he will put on an extra 10-15 lbs and I am not attracted to him. I know it sounds awful, but I married him a certain way and I have always been fat when I have been with him. I often wonder if he will love me as I get thinner....

My hubby is 6 ft and 180. Hes the perfect size, he was 190 and lost 10 lbs since I have been banded. But I met him when I was 200 lbs I then continued to lose weight and got to 172. He thought I was TOOOO skinny, He liked me at 190-200, he loved my curves.... flash forward 9 years and at our wedding I was 217:frown: then 4 years later in oct 2007 I was 248:eek: I too wonder how he will feel about me when I get to my goal weight.. I think me and my Dr. have differnet goals for me. My hubby has always like curvier women, not skinny gals... So yep too wonder about this.
