Beautiful....

How come some guys are so stuck on physical appearance of one's body... I've noticed more times than not that there are many girls in on this site who are absolutely gorgeous but I'm sure they would be considered to be more of a full figured type of person....

How do you feel about this... and would you date a gorgeous girl if she was... if not... what is your cut off... would you prefer her to be bigger if she was solid?

Just wondering.. it's crossed my mind a few time when looking through forums and pages and I'm just wondering what you think?

I dunno. It sorta depends on the girl. I suppose by this you mean based on purely physical appearance. Personally I like my women with some curves, not a stick.

most guys are stuck on physical appearance because most girls are also stuck on it, to be honest there is really no way around this. ( if your a guy and you show even remote indication that good looking girl might not be your type then girls are probably not your type at all.)
of course not everyone is this shallow but physical appearance is and will be the spark of attraction. and with out that you really got to work a lot harder to "promote" your other assets.

I would date a girl even if she was bigger, as long as she wasn't extremely overweight, but she would still have to be pretty. I have dated bigger girls before and enjoyed my relationships with them just as much as I did with any skinny girl. For me a lot of it depends on their attitude and sense of humor.

I understand that being big is natural for some girls, just as it is for some guys, but at the same time, being attracted to physically fit girls is just as natural. The ideal for me is a girl that is about the same level of intelligence as me(not very difficult) or smarter, and the same level of fitness as me(also pretty easy) or better. The line I draw completely varies on the girl though. I've seen chubby girls who were very cute in my book, but beyond chubby I just seem to lose interest. It's not even a conscious decision, it's just instinct.

i like thicker girls i mean as long as your not lazy and like to be active then its ok with me

Personally I don't want a drop dead gorgeous girl. I would prefer to have a girl who has a great personality. Like thedude04 said, I like thicker girls. My cutoff for gorgeous girls is the fact they are gorgeous. I wouldn't consider myself to be good looking enough, and I would be paranoid she doesn't really want me.....Which is part of my condition.....Oddly enough, I would rather have a homely woman who truly loves me. Of course there are women on this site who are very attractive, and I would like to atleast talk to them. As I'm not exactly handsome, I would be the last pick for these women.

Looking at me being slender and all, you might think ill like the same in girls. I actually girls with curves, especially big boned girls that fit that category. I like skinny girls if they're petite, other than that my range goes up to big boned girls and girls with curves and "a few extra pounds" whatever that exactly means.
I do like girls to be cute. She doesn't have to be gorgeous or stunning or anything like that, but just cute and beautiful eyes make up a lot of that.

physical appearance is a big deal - it drives the initial, primal attraction between people

without a genuine lust for one another - a relationship will never be as good as it could be

physical appearance is pretty important but moreso is the ability to hold a conversation.

i could overlook a lot of things if given a decent reason to... such as creativity, intelligence, *cough*money*cough*, and the girls family is very important as well.

im not completely shallow, but lets be realistic here.

I personally love a thick or bigger girl. I've never in my life dated a skinny woman

BUT! I won't go for a bigger woman if she just lets herself go either. There's a difference in my mind about being a thick woman and keeping yourself up rather than just not caring about it at all.

thin hippie chicks

size is a key when it comes to initial attraction, al long as a girl is not twice my weight and a foot shorter,, but a woman has to be able to take care of herself, but lets keep it real women apply the same tactics upon selecting,, i think they have more shallow women than men!

I don't mind a big girl =P.. nor do I mind a not so big girl.

i would date a girl that i thought was beautiful or gorgeous form skinny to full figured, few extra pounds, curves. but it really depends on the girl, one who takes care of herself physically and has a good personality,likes to have fun,is intelligent,ect.

okay so i'm a little thicker myself.. you cant just look at people and know they're level of fitness for example i can do 48 pushups before collapsing... i can do 58 sit ups in a min... i can bench 100 lbs... leg press 480... and i'm far from jacked.. i have some meat on me and i like it that way... i'm just saying that obviously things arent just what they appear to be...

she's right, things aren't always what they appear. you can always guess about the girl on how physically fit she is , or you can find out by talking to her.

Well for me it's sort of a primitive instinct and breeding thing. Back in the monkey/caveman stages, we looked at girls physical assests as being an indicator of good genes to be spread to our children.

I do want to be a father one day. And I want my kids to be attractive and posess good genes. I believe I'm a decent looking guy and a pretty good way to ensure a good chance of having attractive kids is to find a good looking mate.

There are other genetic characteristics that count. I wouldn't breed with a woman as dumb as a rock no matter how good she looks. If she can't guarantee me some good looking kids, then she has to be exceptionally smart or have something worth passing down the gene pool to impress me.

But as far as looks go, I only need decent - not beauty queen. She can be thick or thin, but has to have curves - not too straight or too round. Otherwise I just can't be attracted to her enough to want to risk not having the type of kids I want unless she has some other really, REALLY good qualities.

I wouldn't worry about your looks, I think you're $%$!#$@#@ gorgeous.

I won't lie, looks do count for something. For me however, looks are far from the most important. Every guy has a different idea of beauty. It's just as they say, "Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder." For me, a person's beauty comes out in how they feel about themself. Happily homely is quite alright with me. Happiness shines through in many ways. Hell, I have no business asking for better than I ask of myself. I just accept my appearance and put on a happy face.

An honest smile is the easiest best way to improve one's appearance (imho and ymmv).

You don't have anything to worry about
