Always wondered this.

I am average size, and could never date or sleep with a large woman. They just turn me off sexually. Nothing wrong for the people who are turned on by it.

If by chance I became really fat and attractive normal size women stop entertaining me, I am wondering what I would do and how my mindset would change. How would I cope with this?

You know that most women self-identify as overweight even though to the average male they would be considered perfectly average.

Also, perhaps by then you will discover that there are more important things than looks.

Something to think about.

Ive been well past looks for some years now.

HOWEVER, that simply means a woman does not have to be attractive. I am perfectly fine with an average looking woman.

Almost every normal - above average looking person has a floor of acceptable looks. I doubt most normal to attractive women would date a one eyed midget. I am sure most normal to attractive men would not date an extremely overweight woman.

Sex is important in a relationship. I personally would not want to have intercourse with a woman that turned me off. I would not even be able to get aroused.

Are you sure? Most women believe they're fat, even if they aren't, and most men think they aren't fat, even if they are.

Can you define extremely overweight? Size 12, 14, 16 or 18? above 150 lbs, 200 lbs or 250 lbs? I am curious because people have different definitions of overweight.

I'm a fat guy. My philosophy; take whatever you can get, to a point. I know damn well I can't get a supermodel, but I'm not going to date if the only person who will even consider dating me looks like Honey Boo Boos mama.

If this worries you why not take stock of your current condition, identify areas where there is room for improvement, then set about improving yourself? Tweak your diet. Find a type of exercise you enjoy. You can worry about becoming really fat "by chance" or you can proactively decide to prevent that by raising he bar for yourself.

I am not worrying about myself becoming overweight. I am fairly active his basketball and tennis.

This is more of a hypothetical scenario and how other men in the that boat think.
