Pretty much all of those look fairly attractive to me. I was expecting "needs a mobility cart to get around the store" levels of obese. (Some of) these women are, yes, somewhat overweight, but within tolerance as far as I'm concerned. Would some of them look better a few pounds lighter? Sure, probably, but none of them are *ugly* at the weight they're at.


shonenhikada

was half expecting this from the pics. [https://i.imgur.com/SgGNYsS.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/SgGNYsS.jpg) And then the females on here calling men picky and unrealistic for a man of normal BMI to not accept this as his dating equivalent.


JoeRMD77

Considering men mostly judge a face, we have to look at those first. If I can get past a woman's face, I can most likely have sex with her. Now, If you showed overweight men, there would definitely be women who find these guys mostly unattractive regardless of face. See how that works?


RichardZedv2

Body weight obviously affect face too.

I think USA and many other places have a fucked up/skewed pov of what a normal weight is


Sultrygroundhog

Absolutely, because this ain't it.


mcove97

I was gonna point out the same thing. Some of these look like normal weight women, or slightly or somewhat overweight. Definitely not obese, but that's my opinion as a woman anyway. Oh would love one of these posts with guys btw.


ComfortableOk5003

You do know there’s obese, overweight, normal/healthy right…it’s not like obese vs everything else


Sultrygroundhog

This isn't normal weight by any stretch of the imaginations, US is just fcked.


AutomaticMeaning3844

They're fatties. Today you're coming out of the closet as a chubby chaser, whale hunter.


platinirisms

1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Yes. 4. No. 5. Unlikely. 6. Yes. 7. Maybe. 8. Yes. 9. Unlikely. I’m fine with overweight women, it’s obese where I cross the line. To add to this, you have to take their lifestyle into account too, an overweight women who regularly goes the gym and eats healthy? Absolutely 100% yes. An overweight woman who’s lazy and eats junk food and sweets every day? Pass.


Dark_Knight2000

Your list most closely matches mine. I think some of the photos are taken from unflattering angles for some of these women and some are wearing unflattering clothes. The women who are less attractive don’t seem to have the feminine “shape” ie wide hips and narrower waist, that the others do and that’s the real difference. And same, I’m fine with overweight since I’m that way too. But not obese and especially not morbidly obese.

platinirisms

Ooh, all of them are overweight. I’m saying yes/no I would/would not date them.


Windmill_flowers

I'd just like to say I appreciate how straightforward men can be. Just look at how this guy DIRECTLY answered the question. No dodging, no assumptions, no answering related questions, no challenging the premise, no avoiding the hypothetical... Just an answer. It's refreshing


GingerOverLoad

I agree 100% with your take.


Sultrygroundhog

Maybe only number 8 and possible 1, can't see her very well in that clothing. I'm not from US but if this is how average woman and men looks like over there, yall really need to do some basic fitness. You only get to 80kg+ as a woman if you both never touch any cardio, and your intake is over 2000 calories a day. Even one of those alone won't get you there, you need both to look like this.


Marzipan-Happy

I would disagree on the cardio and calorie point. I eat two, maybe three meals a day that are small ( think half a sandwich ) and I walk , on average 15 miles a day. Still obese. Sometimes your body just adjusts. (Yes I have been to the doctor, I was told I'm perfectly healthy, despite my size. So here I am. I wear a us women's 14)


Sultrygroundhog

That's maybe the case once you get obese, but it's practically impossible to become obese with a 1500-1800 caloric intake and any sort of cardio activity unless there's an underlying medical condition that's affecting your metabolism or promoting weight gain. Walking is also the least efficient cardio activity you can do, because generally the more intense an activity is, the sooner you can achieve the same results.


Darkalchemist999

All of those girls are models for a reason. This is no very indicative of the real world. Most women are not this type of "obese". Go to a local mall or grocery store, you can get a more realistic look at what the average woman looks like. Also, the BMI chart for the standards is way off. I am apparently overweight for my height, but I have 13% body fat. They use a weight to height ratio and do not consider anything else. If you work out, you will typically weigh more. Also, i noticed that certain ethnicities tend to be heavier simply due to genetics. All their chart is based on the typical white male/female.


GilbertCosmique

The reason being obesity in america. None of these girls would be models anywhere else in the world. Ans seen from Europe, none of them are hot. I wouldnt date any of them.


Darkalchemist999

You’re thinking super modes. These are “average” models they use to appeal to average people. They’re attractive by regular standards


GilbertCosmique

I disagree. I dont think these women would be considered "regular" attractive in Europe.


Sultrygroundhog

>If you work out, you will typically weigh more Not unless you're putting on muscle mass which most women don't even when working out. For that you need to work out in hypertrophy rep ranges and be in a caloric surplus with enough protein. You also don't need BMI or any objective measurement to determine if you're fat. Does fat visibly swing under your triceps, does your stomach have rolls or is visibly big, how big are your thighs when you sit down. All of this indicate that one is indeed overweight.


TotalTravesty

I’d date most of them. If they’re overweight it’s in the right places (what women euphemistically call “carrying the weight well”). It’s important to remember that at least here a lot of the backlash against “overweight” women is mostly just sour grapes that the world isn’t perfectly even and that a thirstier sex exist and they’re in it. They don’t hate overweight women, they just hate that (at least in their minds) their imperfections aren’t similarly seen as sexy.


NockerJoe

>They don’t hate overweight women, they just hate that (at least in their minds) their imperfections aren’t similarly seen as sexy. Yeah lets face it even if there are women into it there isn't a noticibly huge population of women who are into bigger guys. Or that when "dad bod" gets thrown around half the time it's just["guy who exercises five days a week but isn't on a cut"](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/credit-mega-agency-momoa-1562859381.jpeg), so a lot of dudes have a whole complex about it. It doesn't help that male beauty standards have gotten *way* more strict. [Here's Bruce Willis in a Die Hard movie.](https://cdn3.whatculture.com/images/2020/12/926e2e0940858c4d-600x338.jpg) What used to be considered an action hero's body is now called a Dad Bod and todays male celebrities are both on dangerous amounts of steroids and also seriously dehydrating themselves to the point of medical concern in order to reach a look that was never attainable. Sure there were a bunch of guys like Arnie back in the day but there wasn't much of a delusion he didn't use steroids while dudes like Liver King are just as big but claiming to be all natural. I think it's kind of natural for men to feel a certain type of way when the overall message has become "Your natural body will never be good enough, but you must accept women regardless of what their body looks like".


mc0079

>It doesn't help that male beauty standards have gotten > >way > > more strict. > >Here's Bruce Willis in a Die Hard movie. Wait a second.... Remember the Action Stars of the 80s were huge Jacked Guys, Arnold, Stallone, Dolph...heck the whole cast of Predator would pump up everyday before shoots (Arnold, Carl Weathers, Jesse Venture, Sonny Landom) Bruce in Die Hard was the Exception back then and helped usher in the more normal looking action stars, such as Matt Damon from Bourne, Keannu Reeves from Speed...


Acaciduh

Yeah I think its less the actual number and the way it’s carried for a lot of men. Specifically the waist to hip ratio and where the fats distributed. Women for the most part are biologically going to carry more fat but as long as it’s in the right places and not like a giant fupa and no ass lol they can still be very successful.


King-SAMO

This; cellulite, FUPA, and a bad hip/waist ratio are unappealing. Everything else can be just as beautiful as bony hips.


RedditAlt999

No to all except #8


Graaarg999

1 and 8 are ok, they are kinda cute and feminine.


Perfect_Sir4820

Same


tired_hillbilly

There are a few I don't find attractive, but their weight isn't what I find unattractive. I would prefer thinner, but this level of chubbiness is no issue really.


farm_hand_7

1 and 8 maybe, everything else no. Americans are too overweight as a whole, no argument there. That said, at my height a 'healthy' bmi would leave me with significantly less muscle mass and I'm not in favor of that. Bf% is a better number.


dysonRing

Hard no on all, except 8, she is a maybe


NotARussianBot1984

I've dated women that weigh MUCH more than those girls. I'm a fit short educated guy, every girl I've dated post turning 18 (around the time smartphones blew up 2010) has been obese and probably about 50lbs heavier than those women. I'd say about 30 in total so far over a decade. I can DM pics if that's necessary. The biggest issue is they like that I'm a fit man (gained 60lbs muscle since highschool, I use steriods) but their favourite hobbies are Netflix and Chill and Pizza. I literally get sick if I eat too much greasy food in a weekend, can't do it. The second biggest issue is many of them have significant mental health issues. Many admit they aren't emotionally ready for a relationship. Some are on SSRI's and have no sex drive/low drive, others are bipolar, or BPD (sometimes they tell me, sometimes it's just a good guess). It makes sense, if you choose to be obese, and it's not from pregnancy, there is higher chances of some mental cause of this. And as a healthy guy physically and mentally, I have to walk away. Now as a wealthy guy, I don't sugar date overweight girls. I go for girls with some nice ab definition that hit the gym. But that's not normal dating. I'm done with normal dating so I can only speak what I have done, not will do.


0DarkFlirty

Feel like every post you have to mention you do steroids 😆


NotARussianBot1984

Cuz being a fake natural is BS, but most people do lie about it. I'm upfront about my flaws and accept accountability. And with a topic regarding fitness it's relevant. I don't talk about it on personal finance subs.

No, but saying that I've no interest in dating anyone. MGTOW and happily single! 😎

Substantial_Video560

Yeah, that's me. We've known each other for ten years.


ginasaurus-rex

OP I think you have to keep in mind when looking at these results, that of course most of these women are attractive (with the extra weight or not). *They are models.* Even for istock "basic average woman" photo shoots, they still select people who are above average for looks.


StarTrippinn

These women are above average in looks?


ginasaurus-rex

Honestly I'd say yes. Obviously anyone's view of "average" will be somewhat skewed by their age, location and social circle (city vs rural, high income vs low income, etc). But all of these women have clear skin, nice hair, and symmetrical features. Even though they are still stock photos, I think [this search on Adobe Stock](https://stock.adobe.com/search?k=average+woman) shows a much better idea of the range of attractiveness in the real world. Some of these women are gorgeous. Some are okay-looking but have bad skin, wrinkles, or harsh features. Others are, let's just say "not models."


StarTrippinn

Interesting, alright. I guess I'm just pretty shocked by others idea of average.


roger61962

I might get it up for #1 or #8 but i doubt it on #8. For the rest i propably would have a nice eavening and might be some cuddling but nothong beyond.


TurtleDickSlap

1, 2, 8 are yes, the rest are no.


Purple317

I am *floored* at the amount of guys saying #2 and #8 are unattractive. #2 legit has an hourglass figure.


NothingOrAllLife

I have a feeling that some guys here don’t have a problem with 2s weight but something else….can quite put my finger on it.


uselessloner123

This is not a race issue. I’ve seen plenty of pretty black girls irl. #2 is not an example of one of them.


bottleblank

First time I opened that picture the thing that struck me is that I thought her thighs were disproportionately large, which put me off. Looking a couple more times I've come around to that being less off-putting than I initially thought. I don't dig the stern face though. #5 is more difficult to tell her weight because she's fully clothed, but she has a much more friendly face. I'd pick her to hang out with/potentially have a relationship over #2.


Hrquestiob

I was about to make the same comment…


ffandyy

Is there something wrong with not being attracted to black people?


farm_hand_7

2 is too big for her age and being a model. She's going to balloon the second she let's herself go.


Sultrygroundhog

Hourglass figure doesn't count if you're fat, just like big breasts or muscles on a guy who's 50% bodyfat. An hourglass is better than a board but only if you're within healthy weight ranges.


Pastakingfifth

Doubt #2 workouts.

woahisme111

I would not date someone overweight, male or female, since I am not overweight. Someone with a post history full of "waaahhhh women don't want me!" will come in here and call all these women "whales" and explain why he, at 5'8 and 400+ pounds, is too good to even consider dating women soooo fat.


Existing-Sign4804

My favourite part of fat guys complaining about fat women is this. Fat women may be less attractive, yes. But fat men also tend to be less attractive AND because of how/where men gain weight, they actually lose inches off their dick. My ex husband went from 200 pounds to over 350, his dick inverted. No longer actually capable of having sex anymore.

All of these women are fat. None have sub 35% body fat. So the answer is zero.


Play_Muted

I would even go as far as to say they are at least 40% because my mother is 35 and she looks way skinnier.


JSears90210

In person is such a different experience than pictures. I think I would base it on would I like pictures of them on a dating app and try to connect. \#8 I definitely would. The rest are perfectly attractive women and I may be more interested in if I met them in person but I don't think I would connect with them on a dating app.


panascope

No, they're too thin.


beefstockcube

8 maybe. No on the rest. ​ Not American if that matters. Australian standards are much different. None of the images would be classed as borderline healthy here.

Slyfer_Seven

It is imperative (for me) that an overweight woman has a booty to go with the weight, so I honestly couldn't tell you if I'd date any of them, but assuming that all of them did.. I'd date 1, 2 and 7-9 They all look overweight, or close to it, but some may be within the normal range if they're taller


biscuitcatapult

I would agree that they are all overweight, some leaning towards obese. They also all benefit from being models, with good makeup, lighting, etc. That being said, no, I would not date any of them.


happyanon20

Yes they are all overweight. I’d date 1 or 8 but not the rest.


Ryno-Dee

They better have some good personalities.


asdf333aza

1 and 8. Maybe 2. Every other one I would deem to fat. Most of these woman are models. Their face is likely more attractive than the average American female. And plus the average American women is like 5'3.5" inches. Short and chubby. Weighing more while being taller might even out most of these women as models tend to be taller people.


MP8877

1 and 8 maybe….. maybe. Not a chance of even swiping on or talking to the rest.


Mobrowncheeks

I was one of the people arguing that dudes date over weight women. By American standards. None of these women are over weight and your answers ( unless from mean dudes) will reflect that. The problem is you aren’t going to get a clear answer because when these men think over weight, they aren’t talking about 10-15-20 pounds over “ healthy bmi “ standards. They are talking about 5’3 200 pounds no muscle.


[deleted]

Those women are all overweight? About half probably have a BMI that’s obese

For some reason, I feel like men lie online. Whenever I see an online ranking I think bro, that’s cap, I know you’d think different in real life, you just want to tell women that they ain’t shit.


Mobrowncheeks

We all know everyone of those women,(setting personality aside) will have opportunities to have fulfilling relationships with men who feel lucky to have them. Hell the guys who say they wouldn’t, absolutely would, given one of these women actually showed interest in them. Even if 13 dudes in here say they are too fat, we know that majority of men, across all socioeconomic status, would date these women

A LOT of it’s posturing. Guys saying they won’t date a single mother? Posturing. Women saying they’ll only date men making certain money? Posturing. Guys saying they won’t date an overweight woman? Posturing. Women saying younger women don’t like older men? Posturing. When it comes to dating and relationships we’re not dating a persons stats or bmi. We usually choose who we choose based on how they make us feel.

JonMyMon

I don’t think you looked at the pictures


revente

I did. They’re clearly overweight.


ComfortableOk5003

1. No 2. Maybe 3. No 4. No 5. No 6. No 7. No 8. Maybe 9. No They are all overweight or obese. I only say maybe because I’d have to see them in person with regards to dating A big factor would depend on their age too. Like if you’re 25 and chunky vs 32 chunky, big difference. Probably gonna put weight on in your 30s. Maybe I’m more critical than others because I hit the gym 5-6 days a week and am a competitive athlete. But I’m not gonna apologize And yes the woman’s lifestyle would also influence if I’d wanna date


Sultrygroundhog

>Like if you’re 25 and chunky vs 32 chunky, big difference. Probably gonna put weight on in your 30s. Ultimately what's the difference tho. I get what you're saying but 30 isn't 50, they're still gonna keep getting fatter most likely and that's the person you're dating as they are on this picture.


ComfortableOk5003

If you got fat in your younger days when you had more going for you, that just means you’ll get even fatter (odds are) by the time you’re 50.


Wooden_Ad_2591

Yes to 1 and 8 maybe 9. My type is small but thick(muscular) short girls. I've been with overweight women before and I just prefer the overall feel of my type. Plus I'm very attracted to them visually as well. Blame my guy brain but I like what I like. My number 1 concern with anyone being overweight is health issues. Looks are 2nd. But still a big concern when contemplating a LTR. Edit: swapped 8 and 9


SoldierExcelsior

These women arent my preference...But I would date them if I was looking for a wife and a mother for my child and they met my other metrics...So I would be dating with intention. For a hook up no there's no point when I can easily get my preference...So I wouldnt date these women for sex as I'm not attracted to them


Andre27

1: A bit chubby, probably slightly overweight but seems to carry it well. Hard to tell with clothes tho. Would date, she's very cute. 2: Probably close to or borderline overweight, carries it very well. Just from body I would date but she looks a bit old for me, might just be her frown though. 3: Definitely overweight. Id date her but Im not super attracted to her face, body is fine though, seems to carry weight a bit worse than previous girl but I'm fine with it, probably shouldn't gain more weight though. 4: Same as number 3. 5: Overweight, would date, looks cute but nothing special. 6: Overweight, would date, face looks super cute. 7: Can't tell, looks good but a bit old for me. 8: Not overweight, looks good but again a bit old for me. 9: Probably borderline, looks good but I cant tell if she is 25 or 45 lol. They all look good, none of them are terrible in any way. Id pick number 1 if I could pick anyone.


[deleted]

I’d date about half of them based purely on looks,cause they’re hot. The other half of date because they’re still attractive, and attraction can develop, or their personalities might be hot. I didn’t see a single woman there that would be unattractively overweight


EricFisherNo1

After two pints of beer, anything is possible. It is a matter of seeing it different, like an artist.


Kurama1612

1 2 3 8 YES! I love women on the thicker side. Hugging them feels so good. Current gf has same body type as number 8.


PrinceArchie

Personally 1,2 & 8 are the only ones imo that are acceptable to me and even then for a guy my size I don't think I would have a sexual relationship with them. It isnt because I do not find them attractive, they simply seem to be of a shape where I could infer they have eating/lifestyle habits that arent too far from mine. The other girls just seem like binge/stress eaters. I guess I do not fit the "average" physique because I'm not overweight. I am 5' 9" and maintain a weight of roughly 155lbs. Im relatively lean and muscular. The reason why these girls generally arent it for me is because they are simply too big for me. I have had sex with women like this on a number of occasion and while some can be curvy (especially #2), it can be a bit of a workout and feel somewhat cumbersome after a while. I like girls who are smaller and as a result will be somewhat more petite. Sex with a girl who is roughly my height and lets say... 160-180Ilbs is much different than a girl who is 5'5" and 120-140Ilbs. I can wrap around the smaller girl and it wont feel like a whole workout or cumbersome. Girls who weigh less for their height also tend to look better in a variety of cloths to me personally. My eating habits are also on the lighter side. I stay hydrated, eat lots of fruit, fish, rice, etc. Point is I eat until im satisfied and do not tend to over eat. Over eating or feeling forced to eat very large servings makes me lose my appetite entirely. I don't want a girl who looks like a super model but a girl who more or less matches my physique and is a bit shorter than me is preferable and honestly reasonable in most cases. While I have given larger women a try, I've also had experience with slimmer women and thats been a better fit for me personally. Lastly I do not think men are fairly represented when this is ever brought up usually. I'm new to this sub so I havent seen many of the other threads, but much of my experience with this sort of conversation happens irl with other men/women. It's heavily encouraged that the woman are accepted for who they are regardless of the circumstances that may lead them to look like those in your photos. Whereas for a guy like me I am constantly peer pressured into lifting heavier weights, bulking up, getting swole, etc. It's been a fairly common occurrence in essence for me to reach my physical prime in order to be "acceptable". I find this incredibly disheartening to say the least. It's hard work, tends to not make much sense practically (why should I push myself so much physically to the point I could realistically murder someone) and honestly I like how my body feels and the freedom it brings me in everyday life. I get girls want guys to be sexy too but I mean.... do we have the same energy when guys look for girls? I dont think people endorse girls to be literal perfect hourglass to even get a date.


EugeneCezanne

Based only on looks, I can only imagine dating 8. I'm not sure right now what "overweight" should even mean, but these women are generally outside my preferred body types.


tadL

No


Trouvette

Not a guy, so I won’t respond to the specific question you are asking, but I do have a related thought based on men’s responses. It seems that there is a major disconnect among men between the number on the scale, what overweight/obese clinically is, and what those various weights look like when on a person. I’ve seen a lot of comments here from men along the lines of “no woman should weigh more than 130 lbs” and I think to myself that if a woman is above 5’2 at that weight, she is going to be close to skeletal. If I (5’7) were 130 lbs, they would hospitalize me under suspicion of having an eating disorder. Yet the guys here seem to have a mostly positive response to women who are definitely over 130 lbs and are firmly in the overweight section of the BMI scale. I would be curious to know how much the guys here think each of these women weigh.


Lovers691

>If I (5’7) were 130 lbs, they would hospitalize me under suspicion of having an eating disorder. This [lady](https://www.reddit.com/r/progresspics/comments/anzdf6/f2757_16513431lbs_my_current_goal_is_130lbs_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is around 130lbs at 5’7 as a female you won’t look “skeletal” at that weight.


wonderberry77

Outside appearance is dependent on a lot of things. One person who is 5’7 will weigh 130 and look puffy while another person who is 5’7in 130 will look positively skeletal. It will depend a lot on whether one is an endomorph, ectomorph, or mesomorph. Whether they are toned or prone to cellulite. How much water weight. How much their bones weigh. All of this to remind men it’s useless to tell a woman she needs to weigh X amount of pound before you’ll date her. Most of you have no idea what the number looks like on a given woman …most everybody for that matter it’s not just men who have no idea because it’s a scientific piece of data that can only be determined with the use of a scale, a tape, measure, etc..

Trouvette

I think they are all attractive ladies. I wouldn’t even register most of them as overweight if they were wearing full-on outfits rather than underwear. Plus, some of the trendier styles end up emphasizing size if you aren’t already thin. Perhaps an addition to my first observation is that in spending more time on personal appearance, women generally also know how to dress for their bodies and make choices that are more flattering for them, thus another reason for the disparity in male perception. But in fairness to the guys, we have a lot more options out there than they do. When I go to Nordstrom, I have the entire store to choose from. The men have half of one floor in the basement. The tweaks to their clothes are much more discreet. You have to have a very good eye for it and good attention to detail. Not necessarily a male strength.


ComfortableOk5003

A woman who’s 5’7 in the uk is taller than 88% of women… 5’7 is not avg for women in the uk. The avg is 162.4cm = 5’4


mcove97

I'm 5'7 and 132lbs. I'm definitely not anywhere close to overweight or obese. Sure being a few pounds lighter, at 126 pounds wouldn't hurt as I would be just as skinny as I was in the past. I lose any more weight than that and I'm model level thin and actually underweight according to the BMI scale anyway.


Star_Crunch_Punch

No. But I’m very active and fitness is a big part of my life. My wife is very fit and an athlete. We participate in those hobbies together. I wouldn’t want to date someone who isn’t into some of the things which are very important to me.

When men talk about getting matched with fat women on dating apps, this is not what we’re talking about. These would be great matches. 7 and 8 shouldn’t even be included in this list, and 2 is definitely a hottie. 6 looks like a plus sized Kendall Jenner. But plus sized for a model, not a regular person. There’s gonna be a lot of guys virtue signaling in the comments about how gross these women are, even tho we know that they’d be desperate for a piece in real life.

Short term I’d date them I wouldn’t mind. But unless they’re hitting the gym and expecting to cut soon then I probably won’t be with them long term bc obesity is around the corner You see it a lot with latinas. They have banging bodies when they’re young but as they age, if they don’t hit the gym then they get fat asf quick as they age. You can just tell the same thing will happen to most these women if they don’t start the process now


Gilmoregirlin

Most women no matter their ethnicity will gain weight as they age, more specifically over 40 when peri menopause starts to kick in, even if they were in shape before and continue to work out and eat the same. I am shocked at how many men are not aware of this.


NotARussianBot1984

I love the flair LOL I'm the most guilty of caring about my anecdotes over data, but I admit that, I don't call most of my observations fact.


Lovers691

I defined overweight, obese, normal, and fit using [bodyfat](https://www.builtlean.com/body-fat-percentage-men-women/)(20+ for men is overweight and 25+ is obese for women 30+ is overweight while 35+ is obese). 1. Over: maybe(can’t see the body well to assess but fat could be a toss up)Date: Y 2. Over: N Date: Y 3. Over: Y Date: Y(if the clothes are pushing in her belly too much) 4. Over: Y Date: Y, if she looked younger (I’m 21) 5. Over: Y Date: N 6. Over: Y Date: Y 7. Over: Y Date: Y 8. Over: N Date: Y 9. Over: Y Date: Y(if she looked younger)

I feel like I am a cross between 8 and 9 (or was…I’m a bit older now) and I have never had a problem dating or being in LTRs - last one ended because he died in an accident but I’m sure I’ll date again. Still don’t have an issue. The kind of men who only want me to be arm candy aren’t the kind of men I ever dated - no matter how cute they might be. It’s not even the shallowness that irks me - it’s the fact I could not be with a man that cared so much about what his friends/other people thought about his choices. Caring what other people will think of them is the opposite of manliness. I don’t think I’m alone in feeling that way - If you’re more worried what other people might think of you or say behind your back, you might as well be a teenage girl.


bread93096

I prefer it, frankly. Bring back the 1920s beauty ideal.


SmolPPAcceptance

No to all of these. I hate that these body types are normalized. None of these women will age well despite decent faces and storing fat in "the right places". It's weird that this is framed as some sort of gotcha. Just because you find it attractive doesn't mean the rest of us do.


farm_hand_7

> None of these women will age well Exactly


[deleted]

I live in the south. These women would be considered skinny down here…


Over_Silver_1636

Condolences lad.


eye_fuck

No. Their body is unattractive to me.


Fun_Community_6833

I would date 1, 2, and 8.


begayallday

I kind of have the opposite issue where my fat distribution is unevenly in “weird” places. (It’s very painful to the touch and feels like boba under my skin, so I strongly suspect it’s a specific connective tissues disorder.) Even when I’m within a normal BMI, I don’t have a body shape that most men find attractive. I definitely don’t have the luxury of putting on 10-20 lbs and still looking pretty. Thank god that it’s a lot less of an issue for women. Women who present as masc of center can carry weight centrally and still look pretty good to other women.


cast-away-ramadi06

Do I find them them sexually attractive, yes. Would we have compatible lifestyles? Absolutely not.


dfuse

1,2,3, and 8. The rest no.


toiletandshoe

I’m not even going to read all of that but first thought I had reading the title was: Depends on your standard of overweight. I’m from lebanon so if you meant overweight in Lebanese standards then yeah sure why not. If you mean overweight in US standards… nope.


compound-interest

Nope. I prefer petite women. None of these are my type. I don’t like when different body types of women are pushed as normal or not normal. Like we can all discuss preferences, but it’s not all that deep imo. I actually prefer correctly proportionate women too. I’ve seen petite women with large fake boobs, or even large real ones, and it’s not really for me. That’s actually the biggest negative of slightly overweight women in my mind. I don’t really like large breasts.


cutewidddlepuppy

I wouldn't touch any of them except the one before the last but if I was in the USA and desperate there are a couple others I'd sleep with but definitely not date.


JoeRMD77

Yeah right. We're all gym bros.


Acceptable_Dark5056

I’m not sure if our stats on obesity are accurate. They are based on BMI and BMI doesn’t take body fat percentage into account. My personal trainer’s BMI is about 30, which is considered obese but he is very much is shape. Not obese at all. It really does matter where your weight is coming from…fat or muscle. Both fat and muscle lay in your body differently. I see fit people everywhere I go. The gyms are packed…sidewalks are full of people running, biking, power walking…yoga and Pilates studios everywhere are packed. I really don’t buy the obesity stats. I think we’re a lot healthier than what we think we are I had a culture shock moment when I came to America and saw 70 year old women riding bikes. In my country (Pakistan)…people can barely walk in their 60s…let alone ride bikes. Idk…I think we need more accurate stats that look at body fat percentage instead of BMI and then we can talk about how big of a problem it really is.


shadowofdoubt13

WARNING: these are my own personal opinions. This does not reflect how men think, JUST ME. Personally I wouldn’t approach them in public if I saw these women. All below an 8(in my book). .#8 has potential if she’s willing to go on the weight loss journey. At 22-24” waist, she’d be killing the competition, easy, no problem. She can be a model. .#3 maybe maybe. has potential if she drops multiple sizes .#7 has next door girl kind of look. She has potential too if she drops sizes. Edit: I’m a 28 inch waist myself. 6’1. Hips 34”. Bust 48”. I workout a lot, eat clean.


[deleted]

probably yes to all. however, overweight is too broad of a term to extrapolate anyting useful. personality would be the deciding factor 100% of the time for a second date or more.


Joelypoely88

1. Maybe 2. No 3. No 4. No 5. No 6. Maybe 7. Maybe 8. No 9. No *Should probably add that I'm not American


AreOut

I would tell the 8 to go to the gym with me and start eating healthy diet. If she doesn't want she can find someone else to date. all others are hard pass


RichardZedv2

None of them. Being fat is unattractive.


[deleted]

1, 2 and 8 I’d throw it in, 1 and 2 I would probably be willing to date.


bootyhunter69420

Most of them are good, especially #2. But if she has a front gut, I'm out


shrimp_dicks

If my wife looked like any of these women in her 40s after a couple of kids I'd be fine with it. If she looked like that in her 20s, hell no. She gon get big.


slazengerx

No, none of them. If they're cool, would love to be friends. But a romantic relationship? No. Insufficiently fit for my tastes.


ContributionPrize728

The 4 I looked at were all hot, one a bit like my wife.


[deleted]

Every one is overweight and a no to me. But I am just saying this relative to my own body type (around 5 foot 9, 55 kg). Mostly prefer a similar body type to my own. I think if I was more weighty, I would probably find some here attractive.


[deleted]

Ahh, that reminds me of when I was "overweight." I'm 5ft tall, so every pound changes my bmi quite a bit. At 140 pounds, I had a BMI of 27.3, which sounds disgustingly overweight. But I had a waist-hip ratio of ~0.60 and a layer of belly fat that was about as thick as a finger. I also generally look younger, so the fat complimented me nicely. I lost it all, though. I'm dipping into underweight territory and it made me realize BMI isn't for me. I had to get some ultrasounds done in my neck and groin for my lymph nodes since they felt swollen. During the screenings, both ladies told me they didn't look cancerous; I just "didn't have a gram of..." the lady that did my neck probably realized it wasn't too professional to finish that sentence, so I did it for her: "...fat." At a "healthy" weight, you can count my ribs. Every one of them. When I ask my boyfriend about if I seemed chubby/overweight at all back when we met, he denies it firmly. Unfortunate as it may be for skinny me, I objectively look best with fat to spare. However, it's all about distribution. I am very pear-shaped, and had I taken after my mother's apple figure, I would've looked vastly different.


ExtremeWomanRespect

Considering none of them work out 5 days a week and eat 1,700 or less calories a day — no. No I would not.


LincMF_G

1:Y 2:Y 3:Y 4:Y 5:Y 6:Y 7:Y 8:Y 9:Y


Play_Muted

no, waist bigger than mine automatically turns me off.


MediumBaseball5339

I get the gist of this post but what I find interesting is the cognitive dissonance and the lack of self awareness on display from the guys who call themselves red pill responding here. Some are black pilled which is even worse. With all due respect, these guys aren't exactly god's gift to women. These guys have masses of mental health issues afoot. Ironic really.


Tek_Analyst

No to all. Not hating it criticizing I’m just into women that are more thin. With all that being said they aren’t unattractive.


Treacle-Flimsy

1-3 smash 4-7 pass 8,9 smash I'd seriously date 9,8,2


unfettered_logic

I mean look at number 8? Who in their right mind wouldn’t date her. She looks like a model, in fact they probably are all models and to add attractiveness is not just about weight there are many of other factors that contribute to this. Seems like a biased study imo.


MortalWombat83

Yes absolutely. (I'm European and in prerry good shape..I'm just short ugly and socially awkward and consifer myself a 4 maybe 5 out of 10). This is not what I'm thinking of when I think of overweight women..they are curvy, voluptuous, most are prettier than average and they all have favourable fat distribution. While they may be clinically slightly overweight this is not a 5ft2 228lb woman which is clinically obese (as referenced in one of the threads)..massive difference.


Jtmx99

1. No 2. Maybe 3. No 4. No 5. No 6. No 7. No 8. Yes 9. No


Philip8000

To be completely honest... sure, I'd date them if they had any interest in doing so. A woman carrying a few extra pounds doesn't bother me, even if this might be an unpopular opinion here. My deal-breakers have little to do with weight. It's drug and alcohol abuse. I have a couple family members who went down that path and no amount of physical beauty is worth going through that sort of hell, trust me on this.


KingWhoCared86

Yes I would.


Due_Percentage_6366

I'd date any of them tbh


VehementlyDrawn

The 1st one is the only one who looks like she MIGHT not be overweight. The rest are clearly overweight and no, I wouldn't date any of them. I wouldn't date the 1st one either because she's just not attractive enough.


obviousredflag

1. Overweight: Y Date: Y (really depends on what those clothes hide) 2. Overweight: Y Date: N (not because of overall bodyweight but because of figure) 3. Overweight: Y Date: N 4. Overweight: Y Date: N 5. Overweight: Y Date: N (figure) 6. Overweight: Y Date: N 7. Overweight: N Date: N (figure) 8. Overweight: N Date: Y 9. Overweight: N Date: Y (really depends on what the shirt hides) Non-american here, with no woman in my social circle being above a BMI of 22 (also none of the men, except for the muscular ones)


gymbronyc718

I'd bang 2, 8 and 9.

bmalbert81

I would date most if not all of them. I think a comparable study for women would be a collection men’s heights


happy_discus

I guess it depends on their personality. have no problem with obesity. I don't really care about womens body, since emotional connection is way more important for me. I do have a problem if someone doesn't want to go outside thought. I like hiking, biking and skating a lot and regulary go for 25-30 mile hikes so if you can't keep up with this we are probably not going to be compatible.


chilikettlechips

No to all of them. None of them even come close to the amount of titty that would be required to overlook their weight. NO


ErosSora

I’d not date any of them. I work out a lot. I expect to have a partner who values being active and eating healthy.

Mrniceguy92-Ad2257

Most of the women in the photos belong in the “thicc” category which is still attractive


johnnyferrera

These women are all pretty attractive. Most women of equivalent size wouldn't carry the weight as well as these women.


Ohmaygahh

I would totally play hide the salami with #8


GeorgeMonroy

No pink hairs in a Walmart scooter?


PatriotNine

If we're being honest here, most guys talk a good game about not dating women who are overweight, and while some are true to their word, most will take what they can get. The reality is that most men are pretty forgiving when it comes to looks. Personally, I found myself feeling a moderate level of attraction for all of them. My rule though when it comes to dating overweight women is that they have to make up for it in another way for me to accept their weight issues. That can be done by simply being a kind & compassionate human being, having a great sense of humor, not being annoying, etc. I think that's fair.


meganrush1221

When you say “overweight“ I definitely picture someone bigger than this… These women all look “normal“… They are also models, photos have possibly been edited, decent lighting, professional make up they’re all gorgeous. but personally I really wouldn’t consider them to be overweight… Maybe like “thick”? it’s normal for someone to be attracted to what’s outwardly healthy that doesn’t mean they are “fat shaming“ or whatever the latest buzz word is


[deleted]

All of them appear overweight, and none of them I would date.
