Do large (5ft11, and fairly overweight) men generally prefer equally large ladies or short skinny ladies?

I know each person will have their own preferences and not most people don’t care about height, weight etc but just curious.

Would a 5ft11 overweight man be attracted to a 5ft2 skinny girl or prefer bigger (taller, heavier) women from what you’ve seen?

At least for... practical purposes.. lol

So OP if you fancy my 5ft 11 overweight husband hands off he's mine and attracted to me!

Most of the tall men I know prefer taller women (at least 5 6 - 5 7) but according to MN there do exist tall men who like short women. I just haven’t seen it in real life.

Depends on the man, really. Presumably in the same way not every 5'2" skinny woman fancies 5'11" overweight men, I'd imagine Wink

The short fat and the tall skinny women don't get look in.

My tall handsome DB has a 5,2" pretty and chubby wife ... married 25 years plus very happily.

I'm 5ft 2 and skinny. DH is 6ft 2 and was skinny when we married. He's now a bit overweight.

I don't think you're going to prove anything with this thread. Smile

We're all individuals. Even men.

Why would there be any definitive answer on this one?!
Anyway for the record.. Dh is 6ft3 and overweight.im 5ft1 and slim

What an odd thread!

Are pieces of string usually long or short?

Farmerswifey12 · 20/05/2019 18:47

Pretty sure this isn't a one size fits all situation.

As you said yourself, individual preferences

Sexnotgender · 20/05/2019 18:49

DH is 6ft 1 and slim
I’m 5ft 1 and a little overweight but I had a baby 3 months ago so I’m allowed to beSmile

All the tall chunky men I know have petite girlfriends/wives.
However the tall thin men I know have tall thin girlfriends.

My DH is significantly taller than that and not skinny. I am 5ft and not exactly skinny but am a size 10.
But he is just 1 man, and I don't think he chose to be with me because of my height and dress size, so this probably doesn't really answer your question.

I’m 5’2 and slim, DH is 6’2 and although you wouldn’t be able to tell over clothes he does have a bit of podge on bim
