Okay - it's "dogpile on Twinkle time". No, I am not turned on by fat men, obese men, big teddy bear men, or out of shape men. I am very fitness oriented and make my body a priority, so why would I be attracted to a man who does not share my ideas and goals fitness-wise?

You've got my support. Physical attraction is not dictated by political correctness. Or at least shouldn't be.

Turn off? No. My guys has a few extra pounds that fluctutates here and there adn judging by his family, I assume he'll only get bigger with age. Meh, that's life. He's still just as lovable.

I think it depends on how a guy carries himself. With the right clothes and attitude, a big guy can be sexy.

I am absolutely attracted to bigger men.

Skinny guys, in all honesty, gross me out. You know what I mean. We see them all summer. They are so skinny that their jeans are barely hanging on to their non-existent hips and, of course they aren't wearing a shirt, and you can count their ribs. Ick! They are not "fit", they are just skinny.

My DH is a teddy bear, and he gives the absolutely BEST hugs ever! He is not morbidly obese, just a little fluffy in the mid-section but with incredibly strong, sexy arms and legs.

I am flexible....as long as the guy is in fairly good shape. Was never into skinny guys, but an athletic build is nice!
My hubby was extremely active when we met, worked out every day, biked 10-20 miles few times a week, lifted weights, etc, but he ate BAD so he had a few extra pounds on him. From being together he has dropped 30 or so pounds. And he has learned how to dress well so now its all good I did not go into the relationship trying to change him, but he is thankful that I had a positive affect on him.

I dont think the poll said anything about skinny guys. Its "FIT" or "BIG" not "skinny". There is a difference you know.

While man that are fit are very nice there is something cute and cuddly about a "big man"

What I do not like are man who have so much muscle it looks like their veins are going to burst!!! or huge man who spill all over when they sit

Like my granma always says: "Siempre hay un roto para un descocido"

"Always (I?) ___ for a _______"

Oh man I stink at Spanish. To think I have been learning for almost 2 years.

You always hear about the Teddy Bear guy...(referring to the big man).

Does a little fat turn you off?

My husband is quite thin but he works out a lot. One guy I did like was 'big' and teddy bear like..he was taller so he could pull it off.

What is not attractive are big, fat men who take their shirts off...no one wants to see that gut (especially hairy gut) when it's 90 degrees out..


there was this guy that I met and he was a real big teddy beaI couldr he was the most precious and loving person I had ever met he immediatly begin singing to me from his heart and just won me over,Iwish I could mert him again because he was very sweet to me
