It's a cultural euphemism.

Of course, I personally think BMI can be a load of hogwash (especially if you have muscle). But I wanted to point out that technically you are overweight. So the question you are asking is happening now... how does that effect women's attraction to you now? Probably not much I reckon (I think a lot of women tend to be more forgiving of a man's).

When I said overweight I meant fat. Just a nicer way of wording it I suppose.

Wait a minute ill see if I can point you in the right direction to know the difference between thick and fat.

Thick

Yes sometimes people can get confused with physical descriptions.

Pictures work the best.

People can think of overweight as being obese as well.

I don't really see how any of this matters. Different people find different people attractive. You don't have to understand why someone finds someone attractive.

Of course not everyone is the same. However, most men will generally find the same women attractive.

Not sure ive ever heard a man who thinks Jessica Alba is unattractive. Havent known any men to think Rosie Odonell was attractive.

I am curious as to whether obese men actually find obese women physically attractive and how do they go about dating.

For example if I were obese, there would be no way I could be attracted to an obese woman. I would most likely target slightly ugly women with normal figures.

So is the whole purpose of your thread to bash obesity?

That's fresh and novel.

Then what does it matter? My grandfather loved obese women. I have a friend that is on the larger the side that likes thinner women. My friends and I all had different taste in men.

And not finding Jessica Alba unattractive is not the same thing as all men actually being attracted to Jessica Alba. Attraction is a funny thing. And it's different for everyone.

Id wager the men being attracted to obese woman being vastly inferior to men not being attracted to obese women.

You can safely say that most men are attracted to this
