Precisely. Plus, you never know if they're interesting in your attributes or if they are actually interested in you. I've gone out with plenty of guys who got frustrated because they thought I would 'put out' because I have large breasts (Thought I was a 38F, turns out I'm a 36GG) and tattoos. No joke, I've actually had men tell me that.

One of the reasons my ex and I broke up was because, and I quote, "I'm embarrassed to be seen with you in public". He said it was because I look like a caricature and he was afraid that his friends would think he was dating a sl*t. Lovely, eh?

Whoever issues statements like overweight women are unattractive or unapproached are simply aesthetically retarded.

I take women on a case by case basis. There are some hideous women with a good body. Body shape does not weigh upon physical beauty, unless we enter the super-sized 300 pound BBW territory.

Or here. At least half the women here aren't bad looking at all.
Plus Size Models. | XL as life!

I'm a big fat basher myself. But let's be real honest and take specimens on a case by case basis. It's impossible and somewhat idiotic to brushstroke an entire demographic. Sorry, fellas.
I think those women and the more attractive ones you linked to get a pass because they don't happen to carry fat around their face. You'll especially notice with the successful, high-end plus size models. They have heads that look like they belong to a size 6 body.

But the picture you posted, if you ignored the heads, those are some really unattractive bodies. I'm not sure how much a pretty face can make up for a lumpy body.

The other link had some ladies with nicer bodies, but what can you really tell through a corseted or spandexed outfit?

Where do you find these guys? You said you live in a pretty small town, right? I think it's time for a move.

It's BEYOND time for a move... I've been looking for jobs in bigger cities so we'll see what I can find The ONLY thing keeping me here right now is my career. I love my job.

I've found that the 'good' guys tend to go for the totally helpless young college girls. At 28 I'm basically over the hill for my area, plus I don't wear fake nails and spend inordinate amounts of money on clothing, hair and accessories. Maybe guys just like the frosting, not the actual cupcake underneath

I honestly can't believe the guys aren't falling over themselves trying to get with you! You sound like a cool chick!

"like I have a penis".....classic!

As I wrote earlier,its mostly how one is shaped rather than size.

A 220 pound hourglass and pear shaped person doesn't look as fat as an apple shaped persoj.
Lots of guys have told me that.
Now 300 pounds is entering into another territory,but I don't know where you all live but I see guys hitting on larger women all the time.

I've had guys say similar things, then start dating the fake blonde 5' tall girl who can't possibly get her nails dirty.

Yes, girls can be friend zoned too

Too true, I weigh A LOT more than what most people peg me at. In fact, one of the guys I work with called BS when I told him my weight (he guessed 60 lbs lighter than what I really am!!) and so we each got weighed on my shipping scale. He was amazed... but I have an hourglass figure and carry my weight very well.

I see what you're getting at, but your numbers are a bit extreme.

Here is a (self-reported) 220lb hourglass.

Here is a 140lb apple.

Both are 5'6. I think a thin/average woman with minimal curves still beats out an obese hourglass.

The first pic,I really doubt she is an hourglass,just from looking at her(plus,its not a full pick. The women on that site are famous for describing their shape wrong)

Ah, I see.... Well, from what I've learned recently on this forum, you need to look for a man who owns a cat...
