or just not a priority.

Cool story.

In answer to your question, OP, no. No attraction, no interest. I've gone out with and dated plenty of men that weren't hot-hot-hot, were average or slightly above to most, but none that I thought were unattractive.

I have several female friends who are either very fit or very petite coupled with overweight men, and not dad bod, but heavier John Goodman or Kevin James. One (friend), in fact, is a fitness model. Her husband has a nice face, he's just...more round.

This got me thinking, this kind of coincides with my "Mr. Good Enough" post. So, there's a connection here.

I have. Like others have stated, there was chemistry and we just "clicked".

Sometimes dating and attraction cannot be explained or understood. Its just there and that's a good thing

My husband is technically overweight based on BMI (in all of the pictures in my profile). He would need to lose 35 lbs to not be considered overweight, and there's no way in hell he'd do that, or even want to. I'd even advise against it. Even at what he considers his fittest, he's still 15 lbs overweight. That was when his fixed-gear bike was his primary mode of transportation (had legs and bum of a cyclist). He's also a black belt BJJ competitor/instructor. It's his profession. He's definitely cuddly, but not round or soft.

My co-worker and I once went to a seminar where the speaker, while dressed meticulously, was very unattractive in the face but he did have a nice physique. However by the end of the seminar we both were in love with him because of his personality.


I once dated a very obese man because of his personality but the thought of intimacy with him was just never going to happen. However since we met on ChristianMingle.com, sex wasn't on our list of priorities. While personality is the defining factor for me, I can't get serious or even contemplate sex with a guy who is seriously overweight. I mean 20 pounds is one thing but needing to lose 50-100 pounds? Ain't happening, at least not with me.

How about some other performers with less than stellar looks such as: Gene Simmons, Weird Al Yankovic, Willem Dafoe, John Goodman. Or, if lack of height is an issue: Wallace Shawn, Jason Alexander.
They all have spouses or significant others.

Even if they don't have great looks, they must be bringing something else to the table.

Yeah, it's called money. Some of these rich guys probably wouldn't even get a date without their money. I'm thinking of Kevin James and some of the ones you already mentioned. If Trump weren't filthy rich do you know any women who would give him the time of day? Between the orange skin, the horrible comb over and the pudgy body, blech.
