Does weight matter to men and women when choosing a mate?

I don't think weight matters directly in one's relationship. However I strongly believe that general physical structure matters a lot in a choosing your partner. I have been reading psychology for the past few months. I came to know the relation between one's body and one's mind. It's really fascinating to read all about these relationships. There are five common types of physical structures, viz, the alimentive (who are little chubby), the muscular, the thoracic (or the florid, they usually have a triangular body), the osseus (or, bony, not necessarily thin) and the celebral (or thinker, those with proportionately larger head). Now there are a few rules that one should maintain in choosing one's mate. First of all one should figure out what category his/her own physique falls in. Next comes the rules for choosing right mate. Why physique should be considered? It's because they directly shapes and represents our behavioral pattern. For example, Alimentives who are usually good-looking and good natured, can marry anyone from the other types. But an Alimentive will make the most of his life if he's married to another Alimentive. The same is applicable for Thoracics as they are often quite impulsive and only a Thoracic will understand the moodiness and impulses of another thoracic. So, weight can indirectly affect your choice of a partner, though it has to direct contribution in a relationship, unless your partner falls extremely ill the day before your wedding.

It actually depends on the person. Everybody has their own taste. For me, never disagree with that we see another person from their look at first. But love is gonna find you anyway, no matter how the person looks like.

i guess it won't really matter 'cause it can change if you and your partner will do something about it. but i prefer average type of body. and a little flab is okay as long as i can hug him well. hahaha.. height matters to me though 'cause i'm tall and i usually encounter men who are shorter than i am.

Hi, it seems that weight does matter to many individuals especially when one is young and vital. As one advances in age, one has the experiences of dealing with so many personalities. I look at what's on the inside now. Perhaps that is why i have been single for so long. Physical appearance to me is superficial and what I look for in a lifelong companion is personality. I am tolerant of others and it does not bother me if someone is over weight or skinny. I was overweight as a child and most of my issues came from other people's insensitivity. After losing weight during my teen years, i realized just how shallow people are when many of the people especially the young girls, now wanted to get close to me. Early on in life i learned that weight is an issue for many. I'll choose sincerity and consideration over fat or skinny any day.

I don't really think that size has anything to do when choosing who you want to be with. what matters most is the feeling you have for your significant other and the chemistry you have with them.

woman and man are you husband wife me.so i am big time sure me life me husband me for so i am big time friends to your time l like me friends are.

What I am attracted to has nothing to do with her physical appearance. What kind of person she is makes the difference. For anyone to make a determination that this person or that person would not be acceptable simply because they are heavy or to thin or beautiful or ugly is a person who is much to superficial. They are not interested in the person but only how they would look with them. This kind of person you would not want to be involved with.

I prefer, not too skinny and not too fat. My cousin said, anything excessive is bad. So too skinny is not good, too fat is also not good. And I strongly agree with my cousin.

Well, it depends on person to person. My girlfriend is actually getting little fatter, and when she showed some of her older photos, i commented that it is much better now! She had so thin hands, i felt like i could break them with a karate chop, okay kidding. But i do tell to be healthy, just like she is now. I am a little on the fatter side, lol. Not much, just slightly more than the healthy line. I was much sexier when i used to jog.

For me yes because if it too fat they would not feel good to hug you they like slim so that you can love it.

hi friend.. no not at all i think weight does not really matters . if and if many of us around may may fall in love or friendship who are slim and good looking,however if the personality is not good relationship cannot survive for long. If the mate is good and nice person, and kind hearted and understanding character weight really does not matters in chosing the mate. rather than giving the preference to the quantity matters , i think its better to give the preference to the quality matters. Have good day. Bye...

When I was in highschool I thought I was too fat cause I have babyfats and by college I gained weight and had beerfats.lolz.honestly, I am very weight conscious..simply because when you're too fat you wouldn't really feel that good.I like being skinny but lately I am skinnier than I wanted.Weight is really something..I think when you're too skinny or too fat there'd be inferiorty in you.so lets just keep it balance to enjoy and less medical issues. ;)
