Are you into-fat- or fat women?

[Midori]

So I've been in a huge debate tonight with a friend of mine who is a Marine. He was talking to be about fetishes and objectification of certain physical attributes vs being attracted to the whole. This led to some interesting discussion ... not making judgements ... just talking about what people are -into-. It did lead me to wonder about the perspective of folks here ... I mean obviously there are going to be a wide range of motivations and interests but I'm curious about this ...

Are you into -fat- or -fat women/men-? What I mean is ... does fat have it's own sex appeal and interest to you that supercedes any negative or positive characteristics of the person themselves OR are you a person who is simply attracted to fat people? I mean this sexually or relationship oriented, not necessarily friendship oriented. What I mean is ... I know that some people view loving fat as a fetish or a kink whereas others simply have an attraction to a body type but also must be attracted to the person as well. Just as with others who like skinny girls ... it can't be just ANY skinny girl for them ... there has to be other factors. Then there are some who are simply more interested in one major factor -- in this case, fat.

What's it about for you?

[ClashCityRocker]

good topic...personally, a fat woman's body, as a whole, is an incredibly beautiful thing. honestly, my attraction to fat women is more of a preference than a fetish...the whole feeding/WG thing is another story. that might sound a bit contradictory, but it sort of goes back to a thread about "how big is too big"(i think that was it)...the WG aspect is a fantasy that's probably gonna remain a fantasy, which is fine. my attraction to a PERSON will always come first...whether or not she has a nice, plump frame is secondary, if at all important. ive been attracted to women of all sizes, i just prefer fat women over skinny.

but to answer your question without the convoluted rant, i'd say without question that i'm attracted to fat women as opposed to fat.

[Korota]

Tough question! I'll try to answer it the best I can.

Am I into fat, as in, the substance, by itself, without it being part of a person? No, I wouldn't say I am. And it's not the sole factor by which I judge physical attractiveness, not at all. I don't know if there are many people who are in the same boat as me, but for me, I can find a woman attractive even if they're thin. But fatness typically makes an attractive woman even more attractive to me, rather than detracting from their appearance as the 'average', non-FA would think. Basically, if I see an good-looking, but slender woman, I don't think "She'd be attractive if she were fat", but "She'd be even more attractive if she were fat".

And all that doesn't take into account personality and such, which is a whole other part of whether I'm attracted to a woman, or just find a woman attractive, if you get what I mean.

Yes, I feel the same way! I couldnt have said that better myself really.

[Chimpi]

Are we not allowed to be both?
Curious, curious question...

I find the fat itself extremely attractive, and yes, a lot of times that attraction does supersede many negative/positive attributes. (However, keep in mind... and Jay West Coast said it best: "The attraction got me there first, but the personality kept me in the relationship") I am not a person/guy that abuses the sexual appeal of a person. I greatly admire personality traits much more than I do her fat body. But I'm answering your specific question. :p

Along with finding the fat in and of itself extremely attractive, I also am attracted to the fat person as a whole. To put it this way (and I assure you, I am straight as straight can be), there is a customer that comes to our store. He is a good friend of all the employees, because he has worked at my company before. Anyway, he is a large guy. He's probably 6'4 or 6'5, and weighs at least 400 pounds, I would say. I think he is certainly one of the most attractive males I have seen. And the fact that he is fat only adds to the overall impression - the shape of his body is fantastic, and the chubbiness of his face gives it that extra 'oomph'.

The fat itself is very appealing. The entire fat person itself is also very appealing. :)

I hope I answered your question the way you were asking it... :confused:

[Qit el-Remel]

I'm into decent, relatively non-neurotic people who happen to be fat. That help?

-Qit

[Tychondarova]

Umm.... I think I would have to say both. I am a straight guy who loves a fat women's body, because it is sensual and beautiful, but at the same time I can admire my own chub. Don't know if that's weird or anything.

-Ty

[Stoner]

Interesting topic we have here.;)

If I had to put this in a simple way, I would say that I'm mostly into fat women, not the fat itself. But since things are never that simple, I'll try to explain myself a little better.

While I always felt extremely attracted to opulent and curvaceous women, I do not consider myself as being a fetishist. The physical shapes do play an important role for me, but personality has always been the key factor in my relationships, including those that were strictly sexually oriented.

I see physical attraction as being a mere “trigger” that leads me to a first approach, but in the end, it’s the so called “inner beauty” that detrmines how successful (if at all) the relationship will be.

[Midori]

Thanks everyone for their responses. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer ... it's simply a matter of taste ... and my curiosity. Some people I have noticed are really comfortable about their love of fat just for what it is and I think that's pretty cool. I am strongly struggling with my issues about fat personally ... as I am not generally attracted to very large men. And a lot of times I feel that maybe I -should- be because I am also fat. I just don't find it to be a great attraction for myself ... yet I know others who are into fat period ... on themselves and others.

Chimpi, certainly you can be both and I didn't mean to imply that one was mutually exclusive of the other. Your explanation was great ... thank you!

Everyone else ... your insights were great ... and I appreciate it! I enjoy seeing how other people think ... it challenges me about my own insecurities and my own deep seated social bias which I need very much to be challenged! ~grins~ I am trying to look at fat in a different way but it's a whole reconditioning thing for me after years of buying into the fat is ugly ... fat is bad mentality. You input helps a great deal!

bright blessings!

[Lucky Jackson]

Can you just be attracted to fat? I think you have to be attracted to the women as well otherwise you are somewhat objectifying and wondering into fetish territory.... Although hypoethically if there were identicle twins and one got fat and the other didin't I would automatically find the fatter one more attractive visually, but if she was a mean or bad person then how could I ignore that, I think the anwser to your question is: A little from column A, a little from column B, good question

[Canonista]

I'm into "chubby" women. I love the feel of a good "muffin top" when the lights go out, and by and large they tend to be warmer and more affectionate than stick figures.

As a man who totally changes into another person when a woman touches me, affection is my main weakness. It's an evolved preference, learned from years of dating all body types. Being touched makes me melt.

[Tad]

For me it is both, although the person is more important in reality.

For me beauty does not have a lot to do with size (although it can have something to do with factors which in turn affect beauty). But I also have this thing for fat. So while, for example, I've always had a thing for short, athletic, women, I never really saw myself getting into a relation with one, because where would the fat come from? But I was never really interested in someone just because they were fat. So I avoided getting involved with interesting thing women, realizing that although they might be lovely in many ways, I'd have some unhappiness in a relationship with them. And I had no interest in getting involved with a fat woman who did not otherwise interest me. Eventually I met my wife, where I found an attractive and fascinating person, who also met my minimum daily fat requirements.

[Elfcat]

If I understand the question correctly, I would say I see elements of both in myself. In totality there I feel a sense of beauty in my perceptions of fat women, the way they move, the mechanics, that is more an aesthetic sense than a sexual one. But I also experience the more direct sexual response of being highly aroused when in physical contact with the flesh of a fat woman. To tell the truth, I think this question is one of those cases where someone is trying to draw a crisp, sharp line between mind and body when in the most materialistic terms there is none.

[hunkofburninglove]

I wouldn't call attraction of an FA to a bbw (or FFA to a bhm) a preference. For me I think it is just a hard-wired aspect of my particular sexuality. I don't have a preference for bbw...you either are attracted or you are not. I don't think gay men 'prefer' men...they are attracted to men ...period. No one would ask a gay man why he is 'attracted' to a man...he just 'is.' I adore fat women...and that is just the way it is.

[big_gurl_lvr]

I don't feel attraction to fat as a fat at all. I don't feel any fat on my body attractive - I'm skinny guy though so I don't have much of it.... but even one I have is completely unatractive to me... I think fat is what is helping woman to be attractive in my eyes... I like curves, I like softness etc. these are the things that fat is causing... so hmmm I think I can't like just fat. And one more thing... there are so many other things about fat ladies that are making them attractive in my eyes that I probably wouldn't be able to even remeber them... they just exist and come to my mind when I see fat lady ex. lovely dimples when she smiles, lovely dimples on her palms, on her elbows... there too many of them to list... and they are not just fat... they just excist cause she IS fat. Yes I'm FA but it doesn't mean I'm Fat Admire... it mean I'm Fat Ladies Admierer.

[Fuzzy Necromancer]

I'm attracted to fat girls, and aroused by the concept of fatness.

[wi-steve]

I would have to say it totally depends. I find some girls that are not fat attractive. And I find some fat girls attractive. But in general, I find myself admiring fat girls and especially pleased when you notice a cute fat girl becoming a little fatter.

But hey, that's just me.

As far as fat on myself, well it's just there. I don't care about it one way or the other.

[The Orange Mage]

I am strongly struggling with my issues about fat personally ... as I am not generally attracted to very large men. And a lot of times I feel that maybe I -should- be because I am also fat. I just don't find it to be a great attraction for myself ... yet I know others who are into fat period ... on themselves and others.

Please, don't feel as though you must find yourself attracted to larger men simply because you yourself my be large.

If you find really really skinny guys or average guys or muscley guys to be the hottest thing possible, then by all means go for it. :)

Also, Qit, I distinctively remember your name (and orientation) but not from this board...were you perhaps a member of FatNats at some point in the distant past?

[exile in thighville]

If I was into just the fat itself, I'd need only go to mypetfat.com to get my jollies.

I always maintained that mere fat admiration (feeding sold separately) is a preference, not a fetish, whether or not the FA in question realizes it yet. There are so many differences in the "fat" lifestyle and body type that you really have to be into the whole picture: bingo wings, double chins, cellulite, interesting dimpling, etc. Dudes who just want a big set of tits or a fat booty are probably in for a rude awakening, as a voluptuous figure on a big frame usually softens everywhere at some point. Of course, dudes just looking for a body part don't maintain particularly long relationships either, so I guess that isn't teaching anyone.

[Elfcat]

I don't feel attraction to fat as a fat at all. I don't feel any fat on my body attractive - I'm skinny guy though so I don't have much of it.... but even one I have is completely unatractive to me...

That is an interesting assessment. I'm relatively skinny too, though middle age has given me a little "splooch" of my own on my tummy. And while my new little man-splooch doesn't turn me on sexually like a lady splooch can, I do think it's kind of neat and sometimes just sit and play with it. I really couldn't conceive of finding a part of my body unattractive. I was born with club feet. I could hate being a slow runner, but instead I love being able to run while I can, because who knows, one day I might have to love my feet for what they were able to give me.

[Ample Pie]

I'm into fat women. Yep.

[Russ2d]

I lust after- desire- the pleasure I receive from a woman's fat.

Whether I like her personality or not is separate from my physical attraction to her. I may hate her but still think she has a hot body. I may love her personality but not be attracted to her physically.

The trick for long lasting relationships is to find both

[Russ2d]

I am strongly struggling with my issues about fat personally ... as I am not generally attracted to very large men. And a lot of times I feel that maybe I -should- be because I am also fat. I just don't find it to be a great attraction for myself ...


Why do you feel the need to be attracted to fat men when you're not? Most women like men different from themselves, lean and muscular as oppose to fat and soft. It's natural...

Don't get caught up in the nonsense whole vs part objectify BS... that's total crap. You know what you desire and that is that, don't apologize or feel the need to rationalize it for anyone.

[Danyull]

Good point, I think I've spoke about this before to some of the people on here. Either that or to people on MSN or somesuch.

I generally do like larger women, I didn't start out like it, I found that after five girlfriends, I noticed a chain, they were all fairly large, three of them around 200lbs+ So I though subconsiously I must like bigger women, either that or I just enjoy being around them.

I suppose it could be called a preferance to a fetish.

[dedhart]

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o207/MurphmanFA/peter.jpg

It's exactly what it looks like.While I wouldn't go to that extreme, I think it's all about the fat. At the risk of sounding like a complete asshole, a great personality helps, but when a guy says "I love you for your personality" he is most likely lying. I mean when a friend tries to hook you up w/ someone you haven't met and says something like "she's got a great personality" whats the first thing that pops into your mind? probably something like "ok so whats wrong with her face?" Don't get me wrong, a great personality can go a long way, but not if theres no physical attraction. I'm attracted to fat women so I wouldn't even consider dating anything less, no matter how great her personality is.

[krystalltuerme]

To tell the truth, I think this question is one of those cases where someone is trying to draw a crisp, sharp line between mind and body when in the most materialistic terms there is none.

Elfcat hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned. For me it's all about how they move, and what moves when they move, etc etc. I'm into soft and cuddly; I'm into warm and inviting and relaxing. But physical contact puts the icing on the cake.

However, as was said at some point during the course of this thread, the fact that a woman is fat does not make her instantly attractive to me. She has to be pretty as well, know what I mean? And a nice face.

[Xellos]

I'm a fat-sexual (or bi-sexual who is attracted to fat people) meaning I am attracted to larger people whether male or female. I get so turned on from a 400lb man as I do a 400lb woman. Skinny people do absolutely nothing for me. Aside from the genitals and body hair, the physique of an obese man and woman is almost identical. But the fact the person is large does not blind me from the personal side. I have met many people who although I found very attractive, would not ever consider having a relationship with them because of their personality and ethics. I think in my case I'm more in the middle of the road I'm attracted to fat people but who they are as a person still matters.

[FatGirlLover]

I think that cartoon pic sums it up perfectly; if you are just attracted to fat, a bag of lard is all you need. Surely no one wants that:( ? I am attracted solely to big girls, I can say that a skinny girl has a pretty face but thats about as far as it goes, for me skinny girls have nothing to look at and admire on their body, but a really big girl has lots of attractive features because of the fat.

So I like big girls because of the effect the fat has on their bodies, as others have already said. But I guess thats easy for me to say, as someone who likes that particular attribute, e.g. I say I like fat girls, whereas someone else may say they like blonde girls/tall girls etc etc. Using this example, you may like girls with blonde hair, but would you like just a pile of hair on its own? I don't think so. Maybe its different for those who see it as a fetish?

[Robukfa]

I think my fat attraction depends on who's wearing it. I've seen fat girls to die for, I've also seen fat girls I don't fancy, but it's not their fat that puts me off, it may be other attributes such as a face that is not attractive to me.

Back at school, I remember a boy who was very fat and one day I was watching him running round the school field last, bouncing and jiggling all over. I found it very intriguing, and I couldn't place my finger on why I was transfixed on him. I also remember being very envious of him, and vowing that one day I would be as big as him. However, as I grew up I realised that I found fat sexually stimulating, but on my partner.

So, yes I find fat intriguing on both sexes, but attractive on females. I am not ashamed of this. Yes, I have a bit of a fat fetish, and don't mind looking at fat men. I know I don't find them sexually attractive, more interesting to watch.

I know my place as an FA, this is where I fit. I don't want to gain as I don't find myself attractive as fat, but want a female partner who can satisfy my sexual stimulus for fat.

Good topic.

[Lilbexter]

Robuk, I feel EXACTLY the same way; I've never been able to articulate it so eloquently, however. It seems that first and foremost, I'm attracted to the concept of fat on both men and women. Of course, I only find the men sexually stimulating, but on women it's almost more intrigueing. I think that many fat bodies are attractive, but that is not to say I find the people themselves to be such. There are things about all kinds of guys that I find sexy, just one of the attributes happens to be fat.

That said, the majority of the time I am with average weight guys. Not because I find them more attractive body wise, but because they have had other redeaming qualities that I found incredibly sexy. Without a doubt, if I had my choice, my perfect guy would be gorgeous, chubby, smart, etc. But for now, my main focus isn't for a male to be fat, because in the end, that's not my sole attraction to any one person. Ultimately, it's just a preference to me.

[Elfcat]

Does being an FA mean never being attracted to non-fat people? I don't think so. For me it is more a statistical description. It happens more often that fat women turn my eye, but there are a category of women I sometimes refer to as "fellow elves", who are relatively little but who have a certain outgoing and mischievous "fireball" type of personality, who catch my eye as well.

[Qit el-Remel]

Also, Qit, I distinctively remember your name (and orientation) but not from this board...were you perhaps a member of FatNats at some point in the distant past?Indeed, I was.

Aside from the genitals and body hair, the physique of an obese man and woman is almost identical.I'd disagree with that...

But the fact the person is large does not blind me from the personal side....but agree with that. I've met quite a few attractive fat people who were complete jerks.

No one would ask a gay man why he is 'attracted' to a man...he just 'is.' I adore fat women...and that is just the way it is.

The point wouldn't be whether or not a person is attracted to fat people or fat in this case when we're talking semantics: It would be the person's personal choice at how the percieve a person with the charateristic (Or the substance itself). I do prefer larger women, but I don't require it. That's what makes it my preference.
I don't know if anyone agrees with me, but I think that the majority of people in this community (And the movement itself) either prefer/require fat partners in one way or another, or it it's a combination of A and B.

[eightyseven]

There is something about fat on a body, any body, that intrigues me... the way it sits and moves and determines shape and such. That's a mere fascination though, but I feel as if my attraction to and preference for big girls is born out of that. What I'm trying to say is that there would be nothing for me to be attracted to about fat if it weren't part of a particular female's body composition. It is a physical feature among many other physical features.

[Jon Blaze]

I would say I'm a little of both actually. Maybe more tipped in favor of a person, but it depends on how you interpret it.

I'm definitely into fat women. I think on a conditioning level, I will react, with some dependance on the woman. If I see a fat woman that I find paticularly attractive, I sometimes get really nervous at even the slightest sight. Basically what I said about Caitidee: Increased heart rate, perspiration, jaw dropping on occasion ;), fainting :p.

As a pure numbers game, I would say that more larger women have that effect on me than thinner women (No implication about attractiveness included). As for the strength, and the continuation of those feelings: That's subjective. ;) :D

I kept my cool enough for my ex: She's 5'4, and about 240. I thought she was attractive for a long time. I established friendship as a base my last four months of high school, and we started dating a month after I graduated.
When she was laying in bed with me (After I made some barebecue :) ): Yea.... :wubu:
If she was nude: Symptoms 1-3 (And possibly 4) probably would have kicked in. :p

On a relationship level, I just interpret it as something that I may or may not contend that attributes to physical attractivess. I can't say that a weight change in itself is something that I find will cause an increase/decrease in how attractive I find a person.

Besides: Relationships are way too complex!
*Agrees with Chimpi back track on Jay's comment* (And my variation! :p )

On the other hand: I don't know if you consider it the substance itself, but sometimes: The pieces/parts/movement of parts that you might associate with a fat person sometimes draw me in on random occasions. Like random tummy jiggling for example: I don't react everytime I see it with every fat woman, but sometimes I do.

[Forgotten_Futures]

Fat, for me, has always been, and I should hope always will be, icing on the cake. If I don't find the rest of the woman - and I don't just mean the physical - attractive, weight won't matter in the slightest.

Even so, I have my areas I pay more attention to than others, and most of them, fatter will get (and keep) my attention moreso than thinner.

[chillaxin]

Unfortunately I don't have time to read everyone's responses at the moment - I will in the future, but I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

I have a sexual preference. (A type of person.) I prefer large sizes, thankyouverymuch. :D This is very closely tied in with the romantic relationship.

I have a fetish. (A body part.) I gotsa-the-hots for a nice belly - on anyone. :eat2:

I have a kink. (Something you do.) Eating, the idea of gaining weight and becoming bigger, feeling full and discovering how it makes my body feel, drives me crazy. (Whether it's fantasy role playing or not.)

These are separate things that can work very nicely together. :bow:

[Dummy Rum]

This is a really thought-provoking question. At first I thought "Well, of course it's the woman I like, but after some condiseration, it's time to admit I like fat. Even on a thin(ner) girl, I'm drawn to whatever soft, squishy bits she has on her body.

I still wouldn't consider it a fetish, though. Some people like a pretty face, or nice hair, or an in-shape body. I like softness.

[hugscurves]

I am into fat women.

Woman that try hard, want to do good things, live a good life, . . .

They just happen to be fat.

Now if they are "into" their own fat. All that much more sexier.

Hugs

[Forgotten_Futures]

I still wouldn't consider it a fetish, though. Some people like a pretty face, or nice hair, or an in-shape body. I like softness.

But you don't like just softness, right? I mean, a young woman's sexy tummy roll/love handles isn't usually what I notice first. Unless they're plainly visible OR they're quite literally the first thing that enters my field of view. I'll notice anything worth noticing. Nice/different hair; a bright smile, or an imperfect smile, or, of course, a predatory smile (nothing better, really); eyes, deep eyes, bottomless pools to get lost in if you don't look away fast enough; pale, tanned (though I markedly prefer paler to not so much); hell, voice, mannerisms - vocal and otherwise; POSTURE; body language; clothing styles; build, stature; nails (I'm LESS likely to be interested in someone with nail polish - go figure =P); smell - natural and artificial (the vast majority of perfumes and I do *not* get along). If I can hold a converation with a girl where the only silences are one or both of us honestly thinking about how to answer a question.

...did I just rant? Huh...

[Dummy Rum]

Good point, Forgotten Futures, it was a nice rant.

But I wanted to make the distinction that I don't go for larger women specifically, just thatI find what turns me on most is fat, and larger women happen to have more.

[Tommy_Oblivion]

fat can't apply makeup or choose sexy clothing so im gonna take the whole lady and not her adipose tissue.

[CaitiDee]

Oh snap, I got a mention. :blush:

[fasteddie1]

I like the way they smell. I usually find their personalities more sympathico than thin women. And, hands down, my most memorable sexual experiences have been with them.

So, I would have to say: fat women. It's pretty difficult to trace back why you like, or don't like something in the romantic/sexual arena.

Likely, lots of it has to do with stuff that happened to you when you were 6 that you've long forgotten.

[EtobicokeFA]

Personally for me, it definitely the woman inside the makes a fat body sexy, otherwise it's just fat!

[maximbbw]

.....is in the fat sexuality thread in the Weight Board.....I'm specifically an ass guy-the bigger the better. Overall, I'm attracted to what most would call fat women - chubby arms, thick calves, big to large breasts, chubby tummy, huge booty (soft and dimpled a bonus).

[Blockierer]

Years ago I read this, I cannot remember where:
"At the beginning he loved only my fat. Now he loves me!"
This said a SSBBW in an interview about her FA-Lover.
Big Love sometimes goes this way. :)

I admire fat in the same way I admire the color powder blue. I think it's beautiful and seeing a nice version of it always catches my eye. But I'm not going to buy something just because it's powder blue. I don't own any shoes in powder blue, my coat is brown, I saw a lunch cooler bag in powder blue but didn't buy it because it had glitter sparkles and I don't like glitter sparkles. I can appreciate lots of other things and find them beautiful but a good powder blue? I love it! My favorite. :smitten:

while a bit of extra flesh will always be a head turner for me, it's not what fuels my FA-ness. i would like to take a girl out on a date because she's a girl who i like who is also fat, not take her out solely because she's a fat girl.

This is a perfect analogy. I tried to rep you but it's too soon!

I'm not into fat at all. I am into beauty. I find many fat women to be beautiful in the same way that I find many "normal" sized women to be beautiful. I think that Monique and Halle Berry are both hot.

I am into fat women.

Woman that try hard, want to do good things, live a good life, . . .

They just happen to be fat.

Now if they are "into" their own fat. All that much more sexier.

This seems like such a good answer to me :)

I can agree with that. :D
Someone's off to a good start.

I wouldn't call attraction of an FA to a bbw (or FFA to a bhm) a preference. For me I think it is just a hard-wired aspect of my particular sexuality. I don't have a preference for bbw...you either are attracted or you are not. I don't think gay men 'prefer' men...they are attracted to men ...period. No one would ask a gay man why he is 'attracted' to a man...he just 'is.' I adore fat women...and that is just the way it is.

+1. I find it interesting that some of the women on this forum seem to view FA's like there is something wrong with us...like regular nice guys couldn't just like them. It's weird. I didn't expect that.

This is probably one of the most probative threads ever. I often ask men who write me, what kind of FA they are. Are you into the physical softness and warmth? Are you greedy, you just want more belly, thighs, breasts etc? Or ar you the type that likes the whole fat generous persona? I have read every single comment and I love what everyone has said. As a fat woman who owns her fat, I love when a someone loves all of me. The Fat, the strength, the soft tenderness etc. But in terms of Lovers, I love the reverence of a FA's attention to loving all of my body. Not just the obvious sex parts. I think it has given me a definite slant on why I like English guys, and true FA's. The worship. I can't get past it.

Hmm. This looked like a fun thread to answer, so here goes. :)

To me, attraction has several aspects. I don't think I can say that I am just attracted to fat, even purely physically, because I've seen fat women I thought were physically unattractive. I am on the same page with others, however, who generally think that most of the attractive thin women that they meet would be -more- physically attractive with some extra weight.

Let's complicate matters some more. Sure, when I first lay eyes on a woman, I have an immediate impression of how attractive they are, and very generally speaking, fatter women catch my eye a bit easier. But personality, attitude, self confidence, and all the other things that mark us as more than objects take precedence. In other words, if I find the woman's attitude or beliefs repugnant in some fashion, well, that kills the attraction dead, regardless of any first impressions.

Lastly, I'm not exactly thin, and while normally very thin women are not so much my preference... I am one of those people who enjoys some contrast between myself and a woman, and so if say a thin FFA happens to admire my fat, it makes me much more disposed towards finding them attractive where before knowing their interest, I might have been uninterested.

And, if I know that a woman hates being fat, I also have a hard time enjoying her size. Whether on paper I'd find her figure beautiful or not, the knowledge that she doesn't like it in reality can't be blotted out of my head. I really and truly believe that self confidence is the most important element in anyone's appearance. So, I'm not sure what all this says about me, but there you have it. :P
