True. Besides, that particular type of man was not any of the choices. Teddy bear type was the largest (heavy wise). I view teddy bear type as Toby Keith type of body.

I like guys a teeeeeeeeny bit on the chubby side. Preferably tall...
I don't find very thin men attractive at all, though. Obesity is a no, as well.
So I guess teddy bear. :]

I'm not picky about size, but I usually prefer my guys with a little substance... teddy bear sounds good, particularly if they're tall. And while the body-builder type is nice to look at, I don't really care to date them.

Spoken like someone who's never had to struggle with a weight problem... as somebody who has, I can tell you it's not that simple.

C'mon guy/gals, you are starting to cross the line of rudeness.

I'm just worried they'd spend too much time at the gym... and not enough time with me.

I don't think it would be simple in the least.....I am not speaking from an attractivness standpoint i'm speaking from a health standpoint. How you look or want to look is your business however, in the interest of health and taking care of yourself internally......I belive everyone has or can have controll over thier health if they truly want to. I really don't mean to be crude or disrespectful I do realize this is a serious issue in America however, anyone can put thier mind to being healthy and they can accomplish it.....I don't belive in pitty or excuses because as I said.....it is a serious problem, one not to be taken lightly.

People obviously dont get fat overnight. I think most are chunky to start with...and as we all know weightloss or gains without working out just leaves you the same-ish shape in another size. With guys pants too, you can put on a lot of weight and hitch it underneath the tum before breaking down for the new pair. If you overeat 500 calories a day. Thats just one fast food burger you can gain almost 40 pounds that year.

And thats only if you did it 5x a week.

Its pretty easy to pack on the pounds when you add any type of junk food in the mix.
Or too much fat or meat for that matter.

But yeh..I like teddy bear squishy for squishin. Doesnt go to well for the swimsuit season but it is cuddley. I think of great comedy men like chris farley and jim candy. I wish someone would of been rude as **** to them and got them to a place where there wasnt so much strain on the body.

Lookswise I totally hate it. At least in the nude.

Eating health is a lifestyle. It is hard but worth it.
