Do you discriminate against potential partners based on their size?

I don't have an issue with it, as long as they happy and confident in who they are as a person. Some of the sexist ladies I know, are larger women who simply embraced their curves and flaunted them, yet they often struggle to find partners. Why do men (and women) for that matter, place so much emphasis on the perfect body?

I think society places too much stress on women to look a particular way and then people wonder why anorexia is so common now. Women are not meant to be stick figures with no shape, yet we have it drilled into our heads that this is what we should all be aspiring to become.

I have no problems if my guy is slightly tubby round the middle, as long as he is healthy. Weight can change for heavensake.

The average Australian woman is a size 14. Alot of men seem to forget this. And we have issues of our bodies changing after childbirth and gravity to contend with also. Supermodels are not normal people. Celebrities have professional trainers and money for plastic surgeons. The average woman has none of these things at her disposal.

I think to chose your relationships based on weight is disgusting, but men are visual creatures and who can compete with the size 8 waifs?

i prefer good old fashioned curves.. trying to get a few of my own..

That is the simple attraction part... but it is the person that makes it last and rewarding. Same with men,however I can't do fat and sweaty men....

I think too skinny is equally as unappealing as too fat. I agree that a woman should have curves, and hips and a bust. But obese (or anorexic) for that matter, does nothing for me.

Coming from an Italian family, I prefer curvier ladies. But there's curvy and then there is overweight and unhealthy. And there's nothing wrong with a size 14. To me that's not overweight at all, simply cuddly. And nothing wrong with that.

At the risk of getting hit over the head by every woman on here, I prefer a slimmer/leaner figure. But before you all go crushing my nuts, I don't think a 14 is big. To me a 14 is curvy. Just personal choice.

I think anywhere between an 8 to a 14 is perfect. Not skin and bones, but not overweight either. But attraction is a funny thing so if you met someone and clicked I don't believe what size they are has any bearing at all.

I fit into the cuddly category, but I find the guys don't have a problem with my weight, its me that does. They seem to accept me, yet I can't feel sexy about myself.

If you didn't have to hug them in sections

I'm not sure the men on here are being honest. No offence guys, but I think some of you are just telling us what we want to hear. In real life men 9 times out of 10 go for the thin chick over the one that is carrying a few extra pounds. Women on the other hand tend to be capable of seeing past the exterior and going for the person that lies within.

Guess that is just another reason why we are the stronger, better, more intelligent sex

I prefer thinner women. Just personal preference. But I do agree that too thin, with no curves and just ribs that jut out and attempt to stab you whilst going for it is just as unattractive as someone overly large. A size 14 to me is fine; anything larger and I confess I probably wouldn't be interested. Shallow? Probably. Just what does it for me.

Joe's cuddly. First guy I'd ever been with that wasn't buff and ripped beyond belief. But I feel in love with his heart and never ever did I miss those bulging man muscles that I was used to. Don't forget, a thin person can get fat, a fat person can get thin, but an ugly mind is there to stay for an eternity.

Think an Aussie size 10-12 is pretty close to perfect. Slender, healthy but still with curves in all the right places. Not a fan of extremes to either end of the spectrum.

Not a fan of weedy men, not a fan of their polar opposites either aka those with a bodybuilders physique. Nice muscle tone and good biceps always brings a gleam to my eye.
