Love the Inside
 

Yes. There are lots of chubby hot people. Let's raise ourselves up and try to appreciate who we are, not how we compare to what our standardized versions of hot are.

Honestly, I think that the characteristics about people that move them a few steps away from the ideal are the factors that actually make them more attractive. Crooked teeth, large noses, bald heads....uniqueness is what makes people attractive to me.

Morbidly obese is another story.

Generally I prefer average built to a little skinny, but I would not rule out dating a lady who is a little voluptious. I guess it depends on the lady in question.

Of these 3 women I find the one in the middle most attractive.

This one's a plus-sized model. Would most consider her fat?

She has a nice face and a nice smile, but I don't really find her attractive, sexually, at least not in that outfit. Maybe with different clothes, but no promises.

I can't believe this one is considered plus-sized ...

Me neither, she's looks okay to me.

i would speedily and gladly hit any one of the women in those pics. idk they all look good to me. i guess i would pick the top, middle girl out of the group, but I absolutely agree with the "i like what I like, if you don't like it great, more for me" mentality

C. Hands down.

I'm sure that girl looks good for her size but there is a LOT of image altering that went into that.

chubby girls are no good past like 21
they're okay if they're still firm everywhere and have no cellulite

I am very attracted to women with curves. Chubby looks very good to me.

I've certainly met really sexy women who might be considered "chubby" or "plus-sized." Personal appearance is only one factor among many others that makes people attractive. If we're talking purely about physical appearance (as in, what porn do I like), then I am not into bigger women.

In person, however, things are quite different. I've dated women who were larger than I might like in, say, pornography, but that I was quite happy to date. Who they are is way more important than appearance. I've also met plenty of women who have bodies that are "just right" in my mind, but are totally unattractive once you start talking to them.

The pictures in this thread are good examples - for the most part, larger women can be just as sexy as smaller ones. Who they are and how they carry themselves matters way more than their BMI.

I agree with this to a point. Being able to stand being around someone and loving them for who they are is the important thing.

But, if it was the same girl, my brain tells me that the skinnier girl is more attractive.

Personality is HUGE for me, but it'll only get one so far. Obviously there has to be a level of attraction and chemistry. There's such a thing as too skinny and too...not skinny. I guess when it comes down to it, I'm not a Ken doll, I'll never be one. I can't and won't expect a Barbie doll as my ideal. I won't deal with eating disorders on either side of things. I'm attracted to confidence, someone who is happy, healthy, and takes care of themselves. I love everyday, average, normal, down to earth women.

In the picture posted several threads back, a: not interested in the least bit. B and C: Damn right I'd be interested.

That's a nasty trick you played on my eyes ASU2003!

While a thinner model at times can be visually appealing because of the style and fit of her clothes, I find myself enjoying women with curves much more.

Above all, confidence is sexy. If the women feels comfortable and sexy in her skin it's an immediate turn on.

Why are there so many euphemisms for fat and so few for thin?

What is plus size going to be like in a few "plus years?"

The problem too, is that the terms we use are just so damn broad! On top of that, everyone has different opinions of what words like skinny, slender, chubby, fat, plump and thick actually mean.

I think women should be where their natural body leads them. I've met size zero girls who look disgusting, because at their weight and build they should be a six, and I've met size zero girls who look GREAT, because that's where they should be. Same goes for bigger girls.

Above is a friend of mine (she agreed to let me use the picture as her face wasn't showing XD). Now, I wouldn't call her thin, chubby, or any of the words above. She just is, and she looks nice (I think).

That is a picture of me. Not thin, not fat, little double chin...but if I say so myself, quite pretty.

It's not about labels, but whether or not you are where you're supposed to be. At least that's what I think.

I LOVE women with curves. Everyday, and twice on Sunday.

I find average-thin still attractive, however as many have already stated, it just comes down to preference, mine is thicker.

I like all kinds of girls (White, Asian, Latina, Black, Indian, etc), i do prefer a slim build. I also like thick chicks and sometimes a lilttle chubby can be cute, depends on the girl and how she carries herself and her swagger. Not into big girls though. We all have different tastes and beauty is in the eye of beholder...that will always hold true. And so i say to all the men and women out there, "love your body and use it any way you can, dont be afriad of it or what other people think of it, its the greatest instrument you will ever own." If that last part sounds familiar its because i took that quote/lyric from Baz Lurhman's wear sunscreen song and couldnt have said it better myself.

And to Marshmellofluff, you look pretty cute with a lovely smile. Thats one thing i notice about people first, is their smile...its contagious really. :-)

Marshmellofluff - You are very pretty. As someone else mentioned, you have a great smile. I don't see the double-chin. If I were describing you to someone else, I would refer to you as thin or skinny. Your friend does indeed look to have a very nice figure.

Weight and height don't really matter to me. My wife and I were both overweight when we met, although we are both now down to more-or-less slender. What I fell in love with was a woman who loves poetry, is intelligent, has a fascinating wit, can hold her own in a debate...

Oh, yeah, she's pretty, too.

Looks is always a plus. :)

this worries me. i have to be honest. i'm a girl to start. (scandalous i know) also, i know i am way overweight and i have gone up and down on the scale depending on situations or what not. i would like to think that i am pretty, but i also think that a lot of people don't give me a chance because they see me and might back off.

it's sad (for me and them though) because I know I'm amazing. I'm smart, I'm funny, I'm cuddly and loyal and I have a kink in me and an open mind to that too. So ya... fat, skinny, those things can change. Surgery can alter it as one desires, but the inside of me, my heart, my brain, my lusts and loves... those are me and the body i am in is just my current packaging.

I agree with slumberinglotus. People are missing out.
I know that a lot of people may not be attracted to people who are overweight but others just don't want to deal with what "society" might say.

I'm underheight for my weight too but people who pass on me miss out on scuba diving, camping, hunting, and a dozen other things I like to do when I'm not at the AYCE sushi buffet.

Ya monkey I mean... I went out for the first time with co-workers at a training and I danced the entire night away without stopping. Others were sitting down and what not, but I had never gone to a club and was not going to stop or miss a minute of it. When I want to do something, I do it. But ya.

Ive had more girls than i can remember, and chubby girls are almost always more fun than sknny girls. Jen is chubby and she is the love of my life and completes me in every way. Ive had skinny girls that i thought i would break. Ive had trim, fit girls, like Miss America, who were terrible in bed. Ive had chubby girls that would suck a baseball through a drinking straw and ask how many times you wanted her to. Im not saying that chubby girls are desperately trying to make you happy, but they seem more able to relax and enjoy things. Skinny girls, fit girls, chubby girls, all in between have I enjoyed, but I really enjoy a bit more than bones to grab on to.
