But what about a woman who is currently losing the weight but is still obese?

In most cases, yes.

She can call me when she's finished losing weight. I wouldn't hold that against anyone, that is expecting someone to be in decent shape before starting a physical relationship with them. It definitely would affect things in bed.

You're such a worry wart.

Take a couple years, lose 50 pounds or more.

Then become a real beyotch and torment any guy who chases you on your new look. Tell him he is fat and that you'd date him if he were 10 pounds lighter.

That to me is the sweetest revenge possible.

To be honest I don't think it would make a difference if I did become the ideal weight, (whatever that is guys?) When I was thin men still were still having nothing to do with me.I don't think I should even bother at this point I was losing weight for me.
Some of the responses are a bit harsh but so be it.

Absolutely. I need to be attracted to the person I'm dating, and if they are overweight I won't be.

Would you rather people lied and got your hopes up?

Why, do you think you're really ugly?

Maybe it's your defeatist attitude that is turning the boys away.

It used to be a deal breaker for me, but as I've gotten older and more experienced, it has become less important. I just ended a relationship with a man who was overweight. I was initially attracted to his personality and his wicked smart mind, and I allowed myself to "warm up" to him physically. Turns out, we had insane physical chemistry and seriously good sex! Five years ago, I'd never have said that about an overweight man. Guess I'm not as shallow as I thought I was. (And the end of the relationship was not related to weight or physical attraction, by the way.)

I didn't read through all the posts but the OP is asking about weight in general. I don't see the question as "is being overweight a deal breaker?" What about men/women who are underweight or have anorexia or bulimia? Personally, I think a bag of bones is unattractive.
