missing out on a lot.
I think if the majority of people believed in "soulmates" you could add that into this thread.

But not that many people believe in that, and this thread is all about the physical. Nothing about this guy's personality was mentioned in the OP, just above average looks, bacelors/masters degree which leads into a great job(most of the time), and dresses very well. The only negative? He has a slight pudge.

Thing is, regardless of what's said here, both women AND men flock to this guy because he at least has all that going for him, and most will stay with the guy regardless of his personality and how he treats women(which mind you, you don't know anything about yet.)

If I was single, yes. I have never been into skinny, slender or super built men. I like a little extra meat on them.

I am not thin, though, and never will be.

I met someone recently who is a bit overweight but definitely attractive and seems like someone I'd get along well with. He's not available though, otherwise I'd definitely consider it.

Yes, I actually prefer men who are overweight. No skinny/muscular guys for me.

Well... If I were 10 yrs younger, about 5 inchs taller, and not in a relationship... I'd give you a call....


Quite a few disclaimers on that one, I see....

Doug Heffernan was an airhead. How many women would go for airheads no matter what they looked like? If I find a guy who has some of the eclectic interests I have, and can keep up his half of the conversation and shows he knows what he's talking about, and is nice with no hang-ups, I don't care if he's fat. Fat isn't even part of the equation. I wonder how many great guys have been passed up by women just because they were fat? Prob'ly a lot. And women wonder where the nice guys are, or why they can't find a nice, stable guy. The nice guys are right in front of your nose some of the time, but you're writing them off because of their weight. Women would rather have trim, good-looking but empty-headed men?

lol how many fat/nice guys have been rejected? I don't know how many, but many, including myself many many times, from large and small women.
