Is weight a big deal breaker for you?

Yes. It's not necessarily intentional, I'm simply not going to be physically attracted to someone who's obese. A little overweight is one thing, but obese is another.

depends on how she carries herself and body shape. If she's as big as I am or bigger, and doesn't carry it well/doesn't have a body shape that can make that look good (yes, this is possible) or dresses really sloppily or something, yeah, it'd be a dealbreaker. Some women just struggle with weight, and that's understandable...sometimes there isn't a whole lot that can be done about it. I've found that in most cases, though, there is a reluctance or flat out unwillingness to change, though they complain about how it hinders them, and that's way more of a turnoff than a little extra weight.

You know what? It's really not. I don't know why because when I was very young, ANY extra flab on a guy freaked me out.

It's just not so any more...in fact, my husband laughs at my "Hollywood crushes" -- they're always either short guys or fat guys or both...(ducking head in shame) Sean Astin comes to mind. (Oh Sean, be mine...you cute little ball o'man, you...ooooo.)

For just sex, generally no (unless she's a total whale).

For a serious relationship, most definitely yes.

NO. Few pounds here and there is no problem. Little encouragement, more outdoor activities and change of diet can bring a WILLING person back in shape. However someone morbidly obese with NO WILL at all to change lifestyle is definite YES.
Why date someone of a weak character? Are we going to eat different meals in different places? Or buy/cook separate dishes? What about activities? Me - a couch potato? Heck, no!!
