When I was a young guy- I had been in great shape- have been fat- have been skinny and back to fat and skinny again....Never did I have a problem with being an active lover during that time..woman wanted to be with ME....cos I was a cool and sexy dude- fat or skinny.....yep....I was the man!
when your thighs start to rub together then you know you are too fat..a bit of belly hanging over the belt is not bad...the moment you feel uncomfortable and awkward...you have better drop a few pounds.
OP, romantically successful overweight guys typically have other positive qualities going for them (and more than a few women actually prefer bigger men). For example, many women are attracted to men - including those who are overweight - who know how to stimulate her mind in the right way. That simply requires having the right kind of personality that clicks with her. The brain is an important sexual organ. For those women, although they may have a preferred/ideal body type in men...looks aren't that high of a priority to them.
Furthermore, many overweight people know how to look presentable. Such people usually don't come across as gross at all to hardly anyone. Other overweight people just wear their weight well. Now if the person is 200+ pounds overweight i.e. very obese, that may be a different story.
Every woman has her own unique set of desires, preferences and priorities when evaluating male potentials, and that includes men's looks. Yes, many women who prioritize looks highly and prefer fit guys will flat-out NOT date overweight guys...but other women will. It's not like they're some sort of collective hive-mind that thinks the same way. Attraction doesn't exist in a vacuum.
I see overweight men and women out and about everyday here in the US, and many of them are coupled up and seem happy in their relationships. Usually the partner is also overweight, but not always...big "teddy bear" men coupled up with fit or thin women is pretty common. Dave NZ does have a good point though regarding some other parts of the world.

My thighs have always touched, even when I was 125 lbs.
That's not exactly a good indicator of whether or not you're fat.
One of the biggest mysteries to me is why a woman would go out with a guy that was fat. If a guy doesn't take care of himself then why would a woman ever go out with them? Wouldn't they rather go out with a guy that was fit?
Well, this gets my vote for Idiotic Thread of the Month.

Maybe because, unlike you, not everyone thinks overweight people are just lazy sloths who choose not to take care of themselves.
Here's a news flash: most overweight people have tried to lose weight, over and over again. Many have succeeded, only to put the weight back on in time. Obesity is a complex medical condition, and people are overweight for a lot of different reasons. Besides, not everyone is as hung up on looks as you seem to be.

Maybe they have lots of dates because they are good men who treat others well and they don't feel the need to live their lives to please others who are so judgemental because they do not fit into some of society's idea of "normal and acceptable".
Who knew someone who is overweight could actually have very good qualities as a human......
She woud go out with him because she likes him for him. Not because he looks like Leonardo.
