ORIGINAL: ARIES83 How long have people been saying "Hight-Weight-Proportionate"? It just seems like being politically correct, saying you are looking for a HWP person instead of saying you don't want an overweight person. This is the first time I've seen it used, it just seems a bit unnecessary to me, it's not like "overweight" is derogatory, it's to some extent in the eye of the beholder but so is HWP isn't it? -Aries I think the notion of height-weight proportionate came about just as a way to step away from just a weight alone, because weight alone doesn't tell someone anything - i.e., 200 pounds on 5' looks different than 200 pounds on 6' To the OP: everyone is, of course, entitled to their personal preferences, even if they don't match their own bodies or their own selves. This is true for anything, height, weight, race, ethnicity, religion, eye color, hair color, personality, etc. Opposites often attract, and depending on age, weight can shift. I see overweight people of either gender with more slender/fit partners - although I would have to say that I see more overweight men with slender women than the reverse. I would never fault anyone for being attracted to what they are attracted to - or for being able to overlook something because there are other things about the person that they really like. I prefer to be with people HWP, especially as I am a bit of a fitness fanatic (so HWP people usually have other things in common with me). But I have made exceptions for people who came to the table with many other wonderful qualities. I've had one overweight Dominant who was a very intelligent, thoughtful, charismatic person. I met him for coffee knowing he was overweight, and thinking we would never click - but his personality, which came through even in emails, really wowed me over in person. So one never knows, really. But my most successful relationships were all with people HWP. I think they also shared similar attitudes towards exercise and food.
