In my opinion, the answer to your question is, of course, YES.
Having said that, there are some obvious points to be considered. As a society, we have ideals of beauty, however superfcial they might be, and we strive to achieve them. Currently, the ideal seems favor skinny people. Moreover, we tend to think like animals sometimes, so we look for the most fit partner. Subconciously, we want to find a partner with a best gene pool to pass on to our children. Thus, being very obese ultimately reduces the chance of finding someone who will find you attractive. In theory.
It's easier for big people to find people attracted to them in Asian countries, where the "western" (so to speak) body frame is something unusual, and considered beautiful.
One more thing. I've been very obese for a very long time, and after my dad passed away, the stress ammounted to me loosing all this extra weight. It didn't change one thing when it comes to relationships.
(Contradicting myself and stating the obvious - another great post from Schwan [but what the hell])
