Poll: Fat people - what's your opinion?

[edthehyena]

This poll is flawed. It depends on how tall she is. If she's taller, she needs to weigh more. Also depends on muscle mass (though really muscular women are creepy).

Weight means little. It's all BMI.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Of my lover? Well for starters I don't have one, and that really depends a lot on how tall/short this hypothetical female is, now wouldn't it? You can't really say "this is the ideal weight" if you don't have the other relevant factoids about a person.

This hypothetical person would not be a fat chick though, just so that's all squared away.

3'6"

I can't tell if you are insinuating that I'm into midgets, or indicating that you are (or some combination of the two?). Help me out here.

JUST STOP EATING and therefore becoming tax sink holes. It really isn't that difficult. Before we had mnountains of food in the west, did we have fatties? NO! It is just weak will power!

Yes, Evil Monkey, we had fat people long before we had "mountains of food." Unless, of course, you are referring to our pre-speech days. Before we had oral history I suppose it's conceivable that we were all skinny-ninnies such as myself.

This however they are (a symbol of human decadence) in every aspect

Come on, you couldn't even read the entire post before commenting?

Would be nice if there were metric conversions in brackets.

I'm 195cm and about 85kg. Most girls in my area barely break 175cm and about 50kg. They look plenty nice so I guess that would be the ideal range for me.



I have a fat neighbour, he smells like pickled pork when he sweats. Its Summer here now.

I don't have an issue with people being a a bit overweight but I don't get the 'fat pride' idea. Reveling in the fact that you're obese is shameful, there's a lot of hungry, poor people in the world.

Weight and Body Mass Index are misleading indicators of 'fatness', however, if you're hefting big, flabby rolls of excess lard around I'd say it's time to consider a change of diet or taking some exercise. I don't really care what other people do, but I know that my self respect would prevent me from getting proper fat.

As far as physical attractiveness is concerned, jutting bones and eating disorders are not cool, but neither are cankles and compulsive eating. If I had to choose, I'd go for a curvy lady.

I'm 5'11, used to be rail thin and was one of those 'quick metabolism kid who can't gain weight even if he wants to' and weighed in about 135lbs.

I got a desk job, grew older and went all the way to 210lbs, which was definitely overweight (if not obese). It was doing a hike that I used to do as a kid with some of my old friend and finding myself out of breath that I decided I wanted to do something about it. Over the last few years I started eating healthier and simply stopped buying snack food (like chips and stuff). I also got myself a dog and made a commitment to walk him every day.

In the last 3 years, I've lost 35lbs (I'm at 5'11, 175lbs right now - which makes me very slightly overweight according to my body mass indicator). We're not talking about hitting the gym like crazy and dieting here... I just take a 30-60 minutes walk every day (And not even, I skip when it rains or it's too cold) and cutting down on the junk food and doritos.

So now... I don't have much respect for people who let themselves go to the point of obesity. It's really not that hard to at least maintain yourself in a decent shape. You may have a medical condition, but ironically, most of the people I know that are fat 'because of a medical condition' eat fast food all the time and barely ever move.

Amd I'm sorry to say guys, but if you're 5'7 and 170ish, unless you're cut out of solid muscles, you're very much overweight.

Poll attached.

Your poll is impossible for me to answer as my ideal lover would weigh a great deal and would look something like this...

Spoiler

That said, I think "ideal" weight is something is a little difficult to pin down. Muscle mass, height, bone structure, etc are all factors. Also, while I don't think it is good or attractive for someone to be obese, I'd much rather spend my time and energy on a nice obese person than on a self-loving perfectly formed prick.

They're fake, Captain Kirk. Sorry to inform you.

Comic titties always bothered me. I mean, I love big breasts as much as the next guy, but why does every superheroine have to wear liquid latex?

You're so right, though. The poll was too hastily put together. It should have been something more along the lines of "what body type are you attracted to..."

 

[BillyShakes]

I answered between 120-140, but in reality I don't care between 100-200.
Personality is my priority.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

Fat people annoy me. Now before you kill me for saying that let me define my meaning.

If your fat, thats fine i have nothing against you, but if do nothing about it and then complain about it then it really annoys me.

Now to admit it, im a bit fat, not obese but not skinny. however i do alot to try and get rid of it, and also alot of the weight it muscle. Its really funny to me, because when i play sports people think im going to be terrable and they'll be able to run right past me. Well thats when i grab the ball (Soccer (football if your anywhere but the US}) and sprint it down to the other goal then continue to smash it in.

And annothe funny thing, my girlfriend was joking around at me going. "I bet i could beat you in a race, cmon race me". I go alright.

We did a 50 meter sprint and i beat her, by like 10 feet. Keep in mind she was really trying, it was funny.

So pretty much what im trying to get across is that i may be a bit fat for my age but i do stuff to lose it. If you stay inactive then its just annoying.

 

[Slayer_2]

I'm about 155, so 140-ish or so would be nice. I wouldn't mind her being the same weight as me, if she's about the same height. I once had a girlfriend that was 5'6 and 170 pounds. She was a bit overweight, in my opinion, but I doubt that she's going to die of clogged arteries any time soon. Be fat if you want, that's your choice, just PLEASE don't tell fat jokes around me, unless you can take my obvious comeback.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

I'm only a teenager but I find that I'm pretty damed overwieght. I'm 5'7 and wiegh 169.9 lbs. That CAN'T be Healthy. I think that my ideal lover would be 120-160 lbs. (Also you may want to install a LBS-KG conversion rate and calculator.

I weigh 1 or 2 kgs more than you, and I'm 15. I used to be a chubby little kid, but I have managed to convert alot of it into muscle. Just start doing press ups, buy a pull up bar or weights and work out for 10 minutes every night. Or just eat healthily and go running 20 minutes 3 times a week. Sorry if I'm being really partonizing or if you do these things all ready, just trying to help out.

Anyways, I'd rather have a girl that was a good 30 kg lighter than me, which isn't that skinny. I don't want to have too much flab hanging out, but I don't want to snap her during intercourse.

BTW I just broke my record, 60 push ups!
Sorry it sounds really gay, but I've been working towards it for the last year, and I'm happy. Now to do 70.

Depends. Are they obese because they are lazy assholes that can't be bothered to move a finger or do are they obese because of genetics?

I have nothing with overweight people. Being overweight doesn't exactly say "I'm a lazy asshole!" in my book, being obese on the other hand...

Obesity runs through my family. Virtually every member of my family was at some point overweight/obese and some still are. I'm overweight at the moment and I'm doing my best to loose the extra weight(Diet, daily exercises, jogging) but even if I loose all this extra weight I'll have to be extra careful has to what I eat due to the fact that I get fat so fucking easy.

I hate the "lazy fats", the kind of people who are just plain lazy and complain all day about their weight, always making excuses has to why they are fat instead of taking initiative and stop eating junk foods.

 

[Zildjin81]

Depends on their build... If a girl is 5'2 or so around 110-120 is fine. If she's 5'9 it's disgusting if she's that light.

 

[Discon]

I think fat people can eat whatever they want, if they want to eat themselves to death that's their choice, same with drugs and alcohol.

Overweight people shouldn't get more health-care than normal people, as it's their choice.

 

[ButanicXpandA]

i was blessed with a fast metabolism but that is sure the slow right down in the coming years and so i have been doing daily excersises with my brother, and recently have been riding my bike to work/ tafe.

i ride past 2 McDonald's and a KFC on my 15 minute ride to work
and 3 McDonalds on my way to tafe.

 

[asteroth21nox]

Haveing some extra weight is not the sin our american society makes it out to be.I'm probably ten or fifteen pounds over weight, but you know what? I still a good looker and that fifteen pounds dosen't impede my ability to have astounding sex. You can't judge a person by their weight in any way, shape, or form. You don't know how they got that big or why and it dosen't really matter in the end. I actually prefer big women over skinny ones because the big girls know how to have fun and tend to be more interesting in my experiance.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

Well heres a thought if you are 30% or more under your BMI rating you get tax 30% plus 1% for every 2% you are lower than the normal average off your yearly tax, IE money the gov pays you in lue of tax to keep "slim".

Now remember the BMI index is horrible and counts muscle,bone and fat the same.

 

[SonicKoala]

Well, it seems that some people who are a little bit overweight are just like that through their genetic makeup, so I don't really blame those people - on the other hand, people who are obese and do nothing about it just strike me as lazy, but I try not to judge them; if they choose that lifestyle, then they'll just have to live with the consequences.

As for the preferred weight question, I can't answer that because I really couldn't give less of a shit about how much my partner weighs numerically; I really only care what she looks like - if she happens to be a couple pounds overweight but is really sexy, that sounds great to me. That being said, I'd certaintly prefer a girl with a little bit of extra weight on her as opposed to a girl who is borderline anorexic, as I find that painfully unattractive.
