Im not sure how right I should feel about how I think on this, but as a whole im a larger fellow, 275 lbs at the moment aiming to be about 250, but ive never really been attracted to large or larger woman....which something about me feels a little awkward about, like im not being fair, but what can I say...anyways to the questions...

Are you physically attracted to or repelled by a large person?

I wouldnt say im physically attracted to them, and theirs a point where large is just too large for me. I like curvaceous women, and even if they are on the heavier side, as long as they carry it wel its great. But as it stands I've yet to be attracted to a woman heavier then I am.

I know this is a strange thing but for me...if a woman (or man, im not bi or gay but as for weight this applys the asme way) straightens their arm and you can no longer see their elbow...something deep inside of me flinches. And im not saying that to be mean, its just a truth with me...Now thats not to say alot of my friends ahvent been that heavy, ive had a number of friends of very large stature but yeah.

now that being said, blythe has said it as have a couple others, health is important, and is something I struggle with even with my body, and struggle to improve upon.

I wont place numbers to a weight because everyone holds it differently


Are you physically attracted to or repelled by a thin person?

I think it really depends...I think my opinion here is similair to my opinion on overweight...is that the extreme rail thin doesnt work for me...now again their are skinny woman that skinny who can attract me by basis of personality.

when you get to the point where its uncomfortable to sit in your lap or hug them due to them being just that skinny, I probably wouldnt be attracted to them.

--

As a note, with both skinny and overweight, neither one would I go "oh im so repelled im disgusted get away from me." its just that im not attracted if that makes sense. I know how it is to be overweight and ive had my share of difficulties which i'll make mention to in erm two questions?


What body type attracts you most?

Body type that most attracts me...as I stated I like curvaceous woman who hold themselves wel, and really it goes either way, I like petite woman smaller then i am in height (im 6 foot) or I like the same in woman taller then I am. But either way I like them to have enough weight to give them curves.

How have your own body issues affected your love/sex life?

Id give that a signifficant YES. Ive never really given off an external sense of self-confidence problems, but deep down for a very long time, I had alot of confidence issues, and still do, but they are getting better as I sort myself out in my head.

For a long time, middle school and high school, I came to develope a sort of "oh well, I seriously doubt im going to find someone for me..." yadda yadada mentality, which I still manage to dredge up from time to time, which was strange because as time went on, I got used to that mentality and I think to a point it helped me become more Okay with my weight because I didnt worry about it as much. But at the same time it created a stumbling block in me finding someone. Nasty vicious little circle.

Ive worked through alot of that, though and have basically kept the confidence I have built up and thats just growing, while im working on dwindling the negative attitude.

Also in high school I wasnt necessarily wrong, my school was a very preppy high school, and looks was a large factor and while I wasnt bad looking, the fact that I was a large "nerd", well liked by the guys but well...., didnt help my love life.

To sum it up, yes it has effected things, but I think more then anything it was my mind that made me faulter -shrugs and grins-

Anyways in the end, none of these are SET rules, but just how things have appeared to me up until now. Is some of how I feel fair? probably not and I often myself dissapointed with my thoughts when I think one way or another about someone but well...cant make someone attractived to me, fortunately or unfortunately.

But for everyone, rail thin, or bbw, or anywhere in between, hold to yourself, change if you feel, if not be who you are, and it'll all work out.


edit- wow only after posting did I realize how much I wrote -coughs-
