Female profiles often indicate "BBW" or "A few extra pounds", which suggest being above average. However, the "average adult US woman" is 5'4" and 165 pounds with a Body Mass Index of 28.5 (and the "average adult US man" is 5'9" and 194 pounds with a BMI of 28.8). A BMI of 25 is considered overweight and 30 is classified as obese.
Is this a hindrance in finding a date or a mate? |

I have overweight girlfriends who would tell you it is, but most of them date way more than me and my ideal BMI.

IDK I will say that I recently lost quite a bit of weight and will probably lose more over the next few months mainly for health reasons and also because an athletic injury has healed well enough for me to train. (the main reason I gained the weight was from being off my workout routine due to injury).
I am not, I repeat am not, emphatically not, interested now in men who would not give me the time of day when I was heavier. this is non negotiable DK if that answers your question, but it was my first thought when reading it.

I would say it depends on how severe one is overweight and on the personal taste and the weight of the possible partner.
But that is just my 2 cents. I am 5'11 and weigh 206lbs and would like my possible partner being also within average range of their BMI. Not just because of me finding heavy overweight persons not sexual attractive but also because I would like my partner to be able to participate in outdoor activities with me. |

I am fat on the "INSIDE "
...and it is what is "inside "a person the really counts. The only people who got a problem with plush lover's...are the people who bring up the issue of someone who is big. The rest of us got no problem with big gals. They got big hearts, lots of love, they are horney...and give great shade. |

I carry a few extra pounds but I am 5'10 and so I don't think it is as noticeable, but the other day a guy sat down by me and proceeded to tell me how gorgeous I was and what a beautiful face I have, then he went on to rub. His belly and say, " the only thing is you have a lil belly, but I can work with that."
I thought it was rude, that he was saying he could work with my belly. Which by the way is not huge, but I am a mother of three. So I have had no problem finding dates, but people like what they like. |

I'm quite shocked and appalled this guy would have the gall and nerve to even approach you, and say those things. Give the guy kudos for his compliments. But commenting on your belly? Unless he's Hercules, he really shouldn't be talking about anyone else like that. I would have walked by and tried not to stare at you. This guy really took it too far. |

Yeah I was shocked, I'm like is this how you pick up someone, by telling them you are willing to settle for their body type? I told him you know respect goes a lot further than a persons outward appearance and although I appreciate the compliments, the backhanded statement you made is unacceptable. |

Well, even saying, while motioning his hand over his belly, telling you he "can work with it" is just totally inappropriate. This guy must get slapped or have the cops called him a lot.

Yeah, you're not kidding! |

Female profiles often indicate "BBW" or "A few extra pounds", which suggest being above average. However, the "average adult US woman" is 5'4" and 165 pounds with a Body Mass Index of 28.5 (and the "average adult US man" is 5'9" and 194 pounds with a BMI of 28.8). A BMI of 25 is considered overweight and 30 is classified as obese. Is this a hindrance in finding a date or a mate? Basing it on you stats, I would have to say no....

Is this a hindrance in finding a date or a mate? depends upon ones expectations really I believe most all people will have others who find them attractive in some way,, but its not always the people they are HOPING will find them attractive... |

{chuckle} I think that's exactly right, what we look for is different then what we get. People who want the perfect model will never be satisfied. We always like the ones who don't like us or vice versa. Lol. I go for men wh.o love my curves and think I'm sexy as hell. That's the first step for me. |

A BMI of 25 is considered overweight and 30 is classified as obese. Is this a hindrance in finding a date or a mate? If the average female has a BMI of about 28.5, and the average male is about 28.8, then I would guess most folks, on average, are going on dates with people who average around a 28 BMI. So it seems reasonable to assume that people with a BMI over 25 are, on average, not having much trouble finding dates. |
