I suppose it depends on their standards in men. Yes, even "obese" women have standards in men.
They can't "get" men unless men are interested in them in the first place and the men introduce themselves, or know them from work or from somewhere else. Are there such men interested in "obese" or overweight women? Oh yeah..............they're referred to by some as (which I find distasteful so I'll modify accordingly) "chu**y chasers".
My personal experience? My wife is overweight, and has been pretty much ever since she was pregnant with our son 32 years ago. Up until a couple of years ago she had no consequential health issues from her being overweight, e.g. BP, cholesterol, blood sugar, etc. all within normal ranges. Now she's experiencing the normal health issues of a woman her age and, of course, her weight is weighing more heavy (excuse the pun ) on her overal health. Our family doctor is OK and doesn't lecture her about her weight. She's active around the house, garden, and flower beds and she works out moderately hard on a home treadmill (adjustable speed and incline). And, wink wink, I still find her pretty hot........and cool !
Yes, and I see what my SO's sister is going through and it's sad. She is quite obese and it wasn't much of a problem when she was younger but now in her mid 40's, she's been manless for five years. She's still a pretty woman, has a good heart of gold and a wonderful personality but that only gets you so far.
I think women of any size can have trouble. I see large women with wedding rings on all the time. I don't know how large they were at the time of their wedding, but they're large now and still married.
But what about the quality of those guys? Just because they're attracted to obese women doesn't mean they're desirable partners. Most women wouldn't settle for just anyone. Losing weight they'd have a better pool to choose from.
^I'm disappointed in you my dear, the pool has been as desirable as for any other women I've come across. Have you looked around and listened to all the thinner women who complain about what the men are like they are encountering, not much great pickings for them it appears no matter the size.

What ethnicities would those be? Irish, Jewish? Those were the last two that tried to put a ring on my finger. So could you elaborate..
As far as men wanting to hop in bed with anyone, that appears to be the case no matter the size, so I wish people would stop using that nonsense as some be all. Look around, many women big and small are getting hitched with some desirables and not so desirables. Hit or miss no matter the size.
Weightism, a blaring obvious discrimination against overweight people, even if people do not want to outwardly admit it in society happens quite often.
I'm not overweight, but my best friend was. She's got a beautiful face, and since she lost weight, the number of guys hitting on her has increased.
I hear people all the time tell me: "Ew. Did you see that fat woman? That fat guy is so gross." Like I'm supposed to chime and agree. Annoying.
This doesn't justify in anyway shape or form how these people get treated, but people do treat others differently depending on their perceived appearance. Goes along with beauty bias, pre-judging and discriminating based on outward appearance.
Do they? I saw a few obese women yesterday and it just got me thinking.
When I say obese, I don't mean 5'5" and 160 pounds or something stupid like that.
I mean like 5'3" 250 pounds.
Sometimes I wonder if they are putting in work to lose weight. It's such an obvious solution to increase your attractiveness. If there were a way to do exercises to grow more height, I'd definitely be putting in hours a day.
Sometimes I think they don't because they have no trouble attracting a number of guys who like hefty women.
Opinions or personal experiences?
And let me just say that I probably would date an obese woman if she was cool.
Depends on the type of guy they are attracted to. If she wants a guy who is very muscular and works out all the time, she's probably looking for a guy who's got something of a fetish for obese women.
I'd say in general, no, overweight and obese women don't have that much difficulty attracting men either. But I live in a general area where BBW type women thrive and in many cases will have there pick of men. Not so much for men though.

Oh lord, here we go with this crap. Being fat is not the same as someone being Black or Jewish. Somebody who's black can't stop being black, somebody who's fat can lose weight if they choose to do so.
