My answer to this is very simple...weight has nothing to do with MY preferences. I am not the type of person to judge anyone on thier physical appearance. To be honest, I have dated very good looking people, and I have dated some not so good looking people. Though, I'm making no judgements, my experience has been that some of the better looking people have had horrible personalities or attitudes and some of the not so good looking people have had wonderful personalties and attitudes and were much more a pleasure to be around. Bottom line is, it's not the outside that counts, it's the inside. I know you have heard that many times in your life. And to ME, it's true. I know in society, it's not easy for anyone anymore. Your either too skinny, too heavy, too smart, too nieve, too pretty, too ugly, too rich, too poor..etc etc. I could go on and on and on. My point is this...no matter what you look like, how much you weigh,what you have or don't have, there is always going to be judgment in this world from all aspects. You think that certain people have it 'easy', but really, we all have judgements on us.

For example...I have known a girl before that was soooo beautiful, all the girls wanted to be her, and all the guys wanted to be with her....but really, she had things tough behind closed doors. She was expected to be a certain way, act a certain way, dress a certain way etc etc....she was soooo unhappy....although, no one would expect that. I was jealous of her looks, I will admit, but I really wouldnt have wanted to be her. Then, there is the woman that drives that fancy car and wears nice things and expensive jewelry....she is also a woman that has to go home to an abusive husband and sometimes cries herself to sleep. See, we really never know what eachother is going through. We should never judge someone by thier outside appearance. We should always go by a persons heart, and how that person treats us.

Ok, so now that I rambled on (sorry), let me say this, and this is how I am raising my children as well....I would most definately date someone overweight, if that person was good to me! I have taught my children, it doesn't matter the color of skin, it doesn't matter the nationality, it doesn't matter the weight or height, it doesn't matter the money someone has when you are choosing a partner...It matters WHO the person is...not what the person may seem to be! Hope this answers your question! GOd bless!!
