Would you date a fat person?

The reason why most models are slim (both male and female) is because that is what the majority of people find attractive... it is the ideal if you like. Not only is it generally more aesthetically pleasing but it is an indicator of many more things. Yes some people are naturally slim but typically apart from those genetically pre-disposed to being slender a slim body tells you the person is fit and healthy and likely disciplined and self motivated. It can be very hard work staying in shape and likely a slim person is disciplined enough to not eat at McDonalds 3 times a day.
So if that is the case can you say that you actually would date a fat person?

I like chubby women I just don't know why! I think it depends on the eye of the beholder. Sexiness is in the person even though the person is chubby. Their are chubby women who moves fast. Their is always an exemption to the rule I guess. I don't care if she's fat I'll still date her and treat her special. Have a nice day!

If I am attracted to someone it doesn't matter if he is slim or overweight. First of all you don't know why the person is overweight, there might be factors, that he is is not able to control like a disease or medication. When I see someone who is overweight I don't assume that they are lazy and don't have any self-discipline, because how am I to know?
If I meet someone who eats at McDonald's 3 times a day and if the person has become overweight due to a lack of self-discipline, what difference does it make? If I am in love with the person of course I would date him :-)

I am overweight but I certainly don't eat at McDonalds 3 times a day (I couldn't afford to if I wanted but I don't because I prefer healthy, homecooked meals) and it does not mean that I'm not fit, healthy, disciplined and self motivated. It really annoys me when people make those kind of assumptions especially considering that I know so many thin people who are unhealthy, eat junk all the time and are really lazy. I don't know why people still don't see that being fat isn't always about eating too much junk.
Anyway, the point. Yes, I would and have dated "fat" people. If they are decent people then I would rather get to know them and not assume things because of their weight.

Well to be honest im pretty fat and would I date a fat girl it depends. Since I see a lot of fat attractive girls but they have to be trying to loose weight like me since if I date a fat girl that dosnt care that wont motivate me to want to loose weight.

Just a tip for you then...
Eat 1,800 calories a day +-50 this will put you in a calorie deficit but invoke a famine response from your body.
Do a full body exercise regime every other day with weights and compound moves (squat, deadlift, bent over row, bench press, millitary press, chins, dips) and this will ensure you do not lose any , muscle. You will lose around 8 lbs a month if you add in 30 mins cardio on exercise days too.
If you are serious about losing weight that will definately help.
