Does size really matter?
Be truthful, very truthful when looking at a mate female or male, does their body type really matter. If their body type is not the norm or (what people concern the norm) whould you date them or even perhaps have a relationship with them?

It matters to some people but to those people ...they may be giving up having the most wonderful relationship in the world.
It shouldn't matter and to me it sure doesn't matter. It is sad that to some....it means so much.

People tend to move away from that type of person because they fear that they will be ridiculed and looked over. If you were a average girl in a relationship with an overweight guy (which is perfectly fine), people would probably start talking. It's not that people don't want to, it's that they are scared of what other people think.
But if this is your situation, I would say go for it. What other people think doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is what you think.

It does for me. I can see someone not being barbie doll perfect and have no problem being with them. But there is a limit for me. Excesively over weight (belly hanging 3+ inches over top of pants, Thighs the size of large watermelons, etc I know you all know what I'm talking about) this sin't right. First off I see it as they don't have respect for themselves but blame it on medical or the way people treat them. They have no self esteem so they are a bore to bee around. People need to take care of themselves.

If you stay with your mate long enough, their size is going to change as will other features. When you love them, you love THEM, not what they look like.
If you are looking for a mate there has to be attraction. Everyone has there own likes and dislikes. I have no idea what the norm is.

Personally I just don't want them to be bigger than me (and I'm not that big), that's all. Even still, size doesn't even really matter. I'd go out with someone if they had a good enough mind. So yeah.
As for normal, it doesn't exist in anything other than our own perception.

truthfully yes it does but all u need to be concered about is if u r attracted to them if u r not because of the body type then that is not ur problem sometimes well most of the time personallity comes first so it all depends on what u r into and most attracted to

well if there's no visual appeal then most people will not approach the, visually "unappealing", person with the intent of a sexual relation. so in a sense with the average person yes size and shape of a person would matter.

I have had relationships with all kinds of woman with different body types.
It comes down to how they sell it, how smart they are, and how fun they are.

All people are different your going to find a special.....someone one way or another.
It doesn't matter as long as you both really Love each other.
