Should Physical Fitness Affect Your Dating Choices

Physical fitness can influence attraction but is not the sole factor in compatibility. Personal preferences vary, and some prioritize emotional connection over appearance. Consider how your values align beyond physical traits to make a balanced decision about dating someone out of shape.

Would you date someone, who is terribly out of shape even though you are in great shape?

What if they look better in clothes, or do not look as out of shape in clothes?

They would need a killer personality.. But I supose It wouldn't matter Too much it would still be in the back of my mind tho.. I could work with it all the same... Vigro flaw detector... I can't turn it off sometimes.. But I would be tactful at least..

I could get over less-than-fit, and would prefer too chubby to too skinny, but not extremes like obese or anorexic ... that's a sign of unresolved issues. But I am an active, fit person and would prefer my significant other be the same ... I'm influenced by those around me and it's good for me to date a guy who cares about his health and fitness, it motivates me more.

My ex Aqua hubby never went to the gym ONCE. He didnt look bad, just really skinny. I looked past it because he had other things to offer. The Aries Im dating now is skinny as hell too. Its almost a turn off to be honest. He never eats! He could stand to gain at least 15lbs. LOL..but he is sooo awesome. Im gonna have to force feed him.

That's a good question I think that you see in a person are the physical traits first and then u see the rest.I like working out,that doesn't mean I wouldn't date someone that doesn't.I tend to look at the persons face first and then body. I guess I would want someone that cares about being healthy.But if I'm attracted to you that means u got something I like weather your skinny or chubby.

For me it doesn't matter. I'm into personality, heart, intentions and all that jazz. No to be attractive is a plus, I'm not talking about body I mean more by face. I don't really like pretty boys, I like normal looking guys. When I point out a guy I think is cute some of my friends are like him?! Serioulsy, really? You don't mean the guy behind him?

I'm kind of slender and short 5' 4" so a guy who isn't shorter than me is a plus. I'm more into looking internally than body fat. I really don't care about all of that. Plus if a mermaid/mermen is in love...we think of our partner as perfect in every way, including the belly. 😉

............. moderation. kewl you have a tread mill, most girls @ the gym use the stairmaster like crazy. I've always been super toned until I got down and really pigged out, I was like 220lbs. It felt like I was drowning and I would get winded from running up 3 flights of stairs😢 my back hurt alot. So I have a small peak into maybe what an really overweight person feels like. I didn't much care want people thought but when I felt weird about being in public and me dying in my sleep I knew there was a real prob.

+1 on never being a B cup LMAO😄

I would have to be attracted to their body. I take relatively good care of myself and I.expect that in my partner as well.

I considered dating this guy I know but was not attracted to his self-care. He is thin and a vegetarian but he's in rather poor health because all he eats is junk food and is too lazy to care for himself properly.

So is my Aqua 😄

Skinny jeans (hell, even PJs), form fitting shirt, or one of those shirts that are cut on the sides so I can see his tanned goodness.. looks damn fine. 🙂

Take it off and the truth isn't as pretty. But eyecandy nonetheless

*Drools*

hahaha!!

I like to think their charm makes up for it Although sometimes I want to throw a shirt at him, put that away😛

A person doesn't think/determine who they are attracted to by means of desire/wants.

Pheramones send transmissions, which elicit responses

Everything any person said in here is nothing except pure ego talking .... and nothing reality based because every person is attracted to another according to thier scent

mine would def smell like vanilla with a splash of nutmeg or maybe toffee. Scratch and sniff DXP sounds alluring! A lot more hook ups would happen on here...that's for sure. 😉

I dunno.. Terribly out of shape as in:

Then no.. 😄 But they don't have to work out 3 times a week either. As long as the guy's clean and we have a connection, I don't really care.

I prefer tall and skinny, but, Kevin James....come here to me! I think men get away with being over weight more than women, but all kinds of people like all kinds of sizes. As long as he and I have a connection as someone else put it is all that matters. He has to be attractive in my eyes but it can be a number of factors that makes him appealing to me. I am one woman what doesn't see a man's size down below as important either. That's all society, I believe. A woman usually does not orgasm due to penile length or girth, she orgasms from his pelvic bone thrusting against her clitoris. Her G-spot (if stimulated) is an inch away from her vagina opening, so men, don't let a shallow woman get to your head (no pun intended, or maybe so). Remember though....with every 30 lbs a man looses, he gains an inch. Though size does not actually take away from sexual experience, IMO, a woman does gloat if her man is larger than average. Just the same as when a man brags about having a big chested woman, though he will not limit himself to. He will usually also date a woman with small breasts. Sex 101 is over, class dismissed.
