I think that a certain percentage of women in general, regardless of their weight, can be rather shallow. I myself am a heavy girl and personally, I do not judge others on being heavy. However, I am also not so morbidly obese that I can't run a mile, or go on a hiking excursion, therefore, I tend to seek men who are able to at least keep up with me. I have dated quite a few men in who were between 50-100lbs overweight. and found them quite attractive, both for their bodies and their personalities. Once they get more than 100lbs or so overweight, I'm no longer attracted, for I feel that they wouldn't be able to enjoy the same activities I do in regards to walking, bicycling, horse back riding, etc. As far as looks go, I have always tried not to be overly shallow. I often don't even ask to see a picture of a man online until I've been speaking to him for several days. At that point, I'll basically say, "Now I'm not shallow, but I would like to ascertain that you are at least vaguely human in appearance, as opposed to looking rather more like an ogre or troll." I DO have certain standards and they are mostly the same standards to which I hold myself, ie that he must appear clean, take half-way decent care of his teeth, wear clean clothing, be physically fit enough to spend a day walking through the zoo, brush his hair etc. So if I see a picture of a 400lb man with horrible yellow teeth and unkempt hair, I am not going to respond to him.Not because I'm shallow but because a man who doesn't take care of himself will likely not take care of me. As long as he meets my minimum standards, I'll give the guy a chance. And ironically, the best lovers I've had, the ones who drove me wild to the point where just thinking abut them makes me wet, are the ones who I initially had very little physical attractive for. It's amazing how much more attractive a man seems after he gives you mutlitple orgasms! All of a sudden, regardless of his looks, when you see him , you think "sexy." So for those reasons, I have dated quite a few homely men. I still have preferences though and a man who meets my preferences is definately going to get a response from me, provided he seems intelligent and compatible. Ironically, I've only ever been with one man (my first lover) who really was exactly the kind of guy that I'm initally attracted to on a purely physical level. I tend to really go for tall, slightly husky guys with dark hair and blue eyes...YUMMMMM! However, on a side note, I was contacted by a wonderful local dominant just this week who meets that description exactly and I'll admit to shallowly being very, very attracted to him based on his looks! (He's also in h is mid-30's and I happen to find men in that age range to be devilishly sexy! Just another one of those personal preference things.)
