"also our instinct wants us to go for strong healthy mates to produce healthy offspring."

Nah! The father of my kids was 45 yrs old, about 20 stone when our eldest was born - and 50yrs old and about 18 stone (and walked with a stick due to disability) when our younger lad was born.
Now aged 15 and 19 they are 6'1 and 6'6 and both VERY fit, and do weightlifting, cycling, run etc. Oh and both me and their dad smoke and both boys were nearly 10 lb when born.

And my sister's hubby was skinny and 'fit' and non-smokers/veggies yet all 3 of their boys were born early and under 5 lb in weight, and are short, skinny unfit teenagers now....

So, I dont go with that theory....

My 2p's worth...

Don't read in to much to what the media say. Their job is not to keep the public informed, spread information or even help others. They're are all businesses trying to shift papers, get viewers, and readers. They do this best by walking a tightrope which a few occasionally fall spectacularly the wrong side off. To sell they need to generate debate, or aim at Mr & Mrs Average.

The cheeseyest (sp?) response to this sort of debate is who ever you are or look like some one somewhere would have the hots for you.

Myself? I find myself attracted to fitter rather than fat girls, but my definition of fat would be more like people who spread over into adjacent seats on the train! I'd love to have a girlfriend who would be able to go light hiking, perhaps cycling etc so someone who looks like they'd really struggle (and again I'm not foolish enough to think this means a few extra pounds) would be less attractive.

Equally I'm not attracted to the stick thin, massive fake boobs, and nails that look like they'd freak at the thought of helping out painting the walls, or helping out with some hard graft DIY. I also feel a realtionship with a mega fit girl could be difficult as there are many other things that I enjoy apart from things which could be described as 'fitness persuits'.

...but hey, at the end of the day I'm just on the look out for a girl with a great personality, whose company I'd never tire of, and most importantly who feels the same about me.

Perhaps there is simply something else about you other than your physical size that gives the other fellas the edge on the local gals?

Every time someone moans on here "women only like slim/fit/blue eyed/brown hair/blahblah blokes, I think to myself, hhhhhmmmmm maybe you are too short/too tall/too moany/too silly/too serious/too freckly/too whatever.....maybe just maybe it just so happens that the gals you have your eye on havent even noticed your beer gut or chubby cheeks but simply arent interested in your brand of humor/chat up lines, and prefer someone elses, and they just happen to be fitter/more confident/slimmer than you?

PS I dont mean you personally, it just seems to be a trend lately for blokes to post about how all the women dont want them personally.
FFS get a grip. They dont want you cuz you're too fat, they dont want you cuz you're too shy, they dont want you cuz you're too unmuscular, they dont want you cuz you're too blahblahblah.......Actually, all the women so far who you've noticed dont want you all have very different reasons for not being interested in you.
Yes some have a list of boxes that you dont fit into, yes some dont want skinny/porky/shy/cocky...but until you guys realise that ALL women are looking for something different, JUST LIKE THE MEN ARE, you will just go round and round in circles staring at your own navels and I also think you lower your chances of meeting anyone off this site when all you do is bloody moan that you cant get a shag.
Thank God i'm not looking for anyone, cuz I wouldnt find one here at the moment.
Moan moan moan moan - You are worse than bloody women!! Evil or Very Mad
Again, this is not aimed at anyone personally, some women are just as bad but for goodness sake can we change the bloody record now please?
I dont want to be left with just an online diary of daily trivia what I ate for lunch, would I like to sleep with the person above, Today I... scratched my arse and read a whole heap of threads of men moaning like heck about their lot in life.... Rolling Eyes

I've been both fat and fit, and personally you cant beat being slim and fit. Gives you a whole different outlook on life. Gets harder as you go into your forties though, as you lose your natural fitness.

Maybe some people are comfortable with being large, but I suspect, and its my experience, most fat people deep down want to be slim and fit.



Deep down not sure personality matters over looks. Personality has to be linked with looks, but not sure looks has to be linked with personality. Especially not on the net anyway, as is my experience.
