Hi, my name is Cameron…….and I’ve been fat, obese, and clinically morbidly obese.
In this article we’ll discuss if fat people are attracted to other fat people. I’ve got a TON of knowledge on the topic since I am pretty involved in this community.
So, are Fat People Attracted to other fat people?
The answer is DEFINITELY. In most cases fat people are very attracted to other fat people. There are of course, some fat people that aren’t. It all depends person to person.
Now, like I said before this differs MASSIVELY from person to person. There are many different reasons why some fat people aren’t attracted to others. If you know the reasons why some fat people are/aren’t attracted to other fat people…..you’ll be able to tell easily if someone is or isn’t attracted to other fat people.
Main Reasons why they may/may not be attracted to each another.
People wear their weight differently – For instance, for me personally I wear a huge portion of my weight in the upper portion of my body. For a lot of people, this is simply not as attractive as if say…….I had more even proportions…….or if maybe the lower half of my body had more weight to it.
Muscle mass – also plays a significant portion of attraction here as well. Think of a pro football player. Many of these athletes are technically obese, even though they have a HUGE amount of muscle in their bodies. Muscle also weighs more than fat and can make people that have a lot of muscle think they’re overweight than when they’re not at all (this is a real and bizarre condition)
Height – Height plays a very significant factor for attraction. Unfortunately, height is virtually impossible to control. There are studies out there that do suggest that men are more attractive the taller they get. Sometimes, an overweight guy that’s tall is simply more attractive than a healthy short person. I don’t like that about the world we live in, but unfortunately that’s how it is.
Honestly, this kind of stuff sounds really obvious doesn’t it? A lot of it kind of is. Really, large people are attracted to each other in very similar ways that people that aren’t as big are. Think about if you were bigger, would you be attracted to other larger people? Thinking that way might help you out a lot. For a good portion of my life I was skinny, and thinking about it…….I don’t feel like my attraction to others changed much since I’ve gained weight. It’s not that I’m not attracted to large people, I am……..but I’m also attracted to skinnier people. Most importantly attraction just has so many other factors than just weight. It’s hard to put it all in such a short simple post……..so if you can put yourself in the mindset of being larger, you’ll be able to understand better.
Hormones and their HUGE part
People might not understand this very much, but hormones play a MASSIVE part of attraction in a much different way for larger people.
It’s kind of a touchy subject for many larger people………but the truth is that in many larger people we have a lot of hormone problems that change the way we live our lives.
Most people that are larger simply don’t have the same drive, motivation, and energy when it comes to life. This plays a big role in attraction as well.
I know this is kind of hard to understand if you’re not larger yourself…….but it can be pretty rough when it comes to the hormone department for larger people.
Depending on your weight – you may physically not be able to be attracted to others
I’ve not hit this point, and am fortunately nowhere near it…..
but I’ve talked to people before where their weight has made it so they don’t feel physical attraction for………anyone.
This probably has a lot more to do with hormones than anything. Your drives can become so low that they’re basically non existent. This is super unfortunate.
Many larger people feel okay with this believe it or not and accept it, and do have relationships with others.
Weird personal preferences
I’m not going to get into to much detail here, I’m going to try to keep this pretty brief. Basically, there are people who have fetishes for larger people and they just love it. Everyone has their own thing. Not judging, just throwing that out there since it can be a major factor when it comes to larger people and attraction.
How much you weigh makes the biggest difference
Simply put, being overweight, obese, and morbidly obese are drastically different. It’s going to be VERY hard for me to go and find someone that I like that is so big they can’t move around…….( I’m taken anyways )
So, basically some people find certain amounts of weight attractive………but too much weight and suddenly the attraction goes way down. This works TOTALLY the other way to, I’m personally not a fan of people that are too skinny. It’s not my thing. It’s fine if it’s yours! Understandable. That’s just how we are, all different in our preferences.
The reason I say that weight makes the biggest difference ( pun was not intended btw ) is that really, it’s the thing that most people find to be the dealbreaker unfortunately. At least when it comes to attraction physically. For most people it goes weight, then height.
Personality still matters!
Seriously, as crazy as it sounds……..people are simply more attractive with a better personality.
There are TONS of studies on this, but I can easily prove it to you.
Think of an ex you have that turned sour, do they look different to you now than they used to? I bet they do.
All jokes aside, really personality does play a big portion of how you’re perceived and how attractive you are. Someone who similes all the time is infinitely more attractive than someone who can’t seem to find their smile ever.
This is different than physical attraction of course, but it still plays a part in what makes a person attractive.
Here’s an example: Think of someone you know that has hobbies you enjoy. Or maybe does something you admire. Those types of things really create an attraction for them that otherwise you wouldn’t have. Its weird how the mind works isn’t it?
There’s so much more –
Honestly, there are books that go DEEP into the studies of attraction. People have studied the concepts of attraction for YEARS and YEARS………….
There are SO many books written it’s honestly overwhelming, and it’s super fascinating to.
If you’re interested in attraction, you should check out books in love languages. You wouldn’t guess it, but they get really deep into love psychology……..which plays a HUGE role in all of this. Super interesting stuff.
Thanks for reading!!!!
