Your standards

  Would you ever lower your standards in dating or 'settling for someone'?
  
  I'd lose my self-respect if I ever date or do things with a fatty or ugly girl.

  My standards have changed, I can't say they've lowered.

  No. But my standards aren't physical. I'd date someone fat, just... not someone absolutely morbidly obese. o_o

  i'd date someone i like :|
  
  it'd just be a plus if she's pretty
  
  i just can't picture myself with anyone :P
  
  
  but i'd wouldn't lose my self-respect from dating someone who's not good-looking... that's... just...
  i'd lose my self-respect if i got myself into a bad relationship....
  
  but my standards aren't high or low...
  I know what kind of person I'm looking for.
  :what: I think...

  So, Laconius and Iyasenu, you are both fine with dating fat girls you're not attracted to if she has a good personality? How would that work? Or are you implying you guys are attracted to fat girls too?

  I wouldn't date someone whose "fat and/or ugly", however my definition of both isn't based on social standards created by media.
  It's not really possible to define my guidelines for it, but to get a general idea, 99% of those celebrity women everyone says is so hot... totally turn me off. Whereas a totally average woman who doesn't stand out in any particular way :thumb:
  
  Personality is the main thing for me anyways, however I do need to be physically attracted to the person. A 300 pound girl can have the best personality in the world but I would not be comfortable as anything more than friends.
  
  Unless she's 300 pounds because she's like 10 feet tall... then that would just be too awesome D:

  Yeah. I'm more or less just more attracted to personality than appearance I guess. I'm with Iyasenu, being hot is definitely worth bonus points but it's not what I look for in a relationship.

  Well, I'm attracted by both normal and fat girls I guess.
  But I haven't ever moved past attraction, into a relationship yet.
  
  But yeah, I want someone I like being with, and to be with someone who likes being with me too, with both of us being physically attracted to each other as well.
  
  That's my idea of a good relationship anyways.
  
  I don't have a problem with fat girls, since I'm attracted to them, physically, but that's me. I don't have a problem with it at all... not like I'm God's gift to women! :lol:

  Just remember that not all fat people stay fat and not all good-looking people stay the same either.

  Could say the same for personality as well.

  That's not as fleeting as looks.

  Of course, then they'll become possible girlfriends AFTER they lose weight and take care of their appearance.

  By then, it may be too late for you.
  
  Also, makeup is a scary thing.

  Personally, I wouldn't date someone who was so hung up on looks that they wouldn't consider dating someone for that reason. Shallow about one thing, very likely shallow about another.
