No, I wouldn't be okay with 100lb weight gain. I would try to help them get healthy, though.
I wouldn't be as eager to get into the bedroom with someone 100lbs overweight. Maybe that's shallow, but it's honest

100+ lbs would be nearly an entirely new human on my wife's already petite frame. I'd personally be concerned that there may be some sort of underlying cause, like a physical or mental health condition. I'd ask her if she wanted to talk about it initially, to figure out what's going on. And then I'd be supportive throughout whatever recovery plan is deemed appropriate.

It would matter. I find morbid obesity repulsive.

I'm a fat guy, who could probably stand to lose 100 lbs. So, I'm open to dating large women. If I find them attractive, their body shape doesn't matter as much, to me.


But, if I was dating an already large woman, and she gained another 100 lbs., (growing another chin, losing definition of her neck, or her ankles start hanging over the sides of her shoes, causing a major change to her general appearance, for example) I might be concerned.

In almost all cases on that 600# show, the people had some molestation in their background. Either that or parental neglect.

100 pounds is a pretty big deal. I struggle with weight, but only like 20 pounds over weight type of thing. I am not actually sure how my husband would react if I gained 100. And if he did it would probably be difficult to stay attracted.

Same question as before....Does it matter to you? Would you still be as excited about fun in the bedroom? If you weren't interested in sex, would you be satisfied being celibate for the rest of your life?
The concern about why it happened it's still valid, but yes such weight gain would kill my sex desire. I am assuming that lots of people learned to adjust over time. A hundred pounds weight gain didn't happened overnight.
There still could be some fun in bed, despite the esthetics - learn some Kamasutra and turn the light off...
However, morbidly obese people have too many sexual and health problems.

Men don't, in my observation, put on 100 pounds for the express purpose of avoiding sex.

But yes, I agree I wouldn't be as happy to have sex with a man who had put on 100 pounds.

I wonder why you're being so vague about this situation.
I'm not sure what's so vague about asking a simple question or correcting someone that thought I was only talking about men (even though I never once stated that), but if you say so.

Maybe you are hearing that it's NOT a simple question....
