I'm curious, so I want to know.

Let's assume there's a guy. He's rather funny, and really nice. Everyone seems to like him, and he's fairly average looking, and about average height. You learn that he has a huge crush on you.  

You love the guy's personality, but there's just one catch. He's overweight. My question is, at what point does the amount that he weighs make him not worth dating, in your opinion?

Edit: His weight is almost all or completely fat.

As bitchy as it sounds, no. If I were fat, I wouldn't expect someone more attractive to like me...

Over 300 pounds is just way over my limit.

I know it's shallow, but I just couldn't date a guy who had the power to kill me by suffocation in bed.

That's hard to say, really.
The guy I'm with right now is like 210, but it was "fattish"
He's gonna come back at like 250, all muscle.

But if it's over 225 of JUST fat, then no

If I actually love the person, then the weight won't matter to me.  The thing is, having children is important to me, and if the weight would have an impact on this, that's something I would have to reconsider.

But the actual size and appearance of the person wouldn't make a difference.  If I come to love his personality, then that's really all there is to it.  However, in terms of personality, someone that just continues eating that much, doesn't move, and doesn't care about his weight isn't someone that I think would match me in terms of personality... if that makes sense.

But if I loved the personality and I felt he could be a potential husband, then the weight wouldn't matter.

I was expecting something a bit different.

I was expecting more votes, too, though.

There is a difference between being big, and being a fatass.  Anyone who isn't blind can see the difference.  I wouldn't date a girl who looks like she might snap off my dick and eat it.

This is kind of difficult to answer considering that height and body mass are contributing factors to our weight. So...a guy could easily be 200+ pounds but also over 6 feet tall. Same goes for someone in the 250-275+ range...they could be rather tall and just a little bit chubby. It really depends on how it all sorts out on their body. If I see that someone cannot take care of themselves (at least decently) then I am turned off. They could have plenty of great qualities, but I feel that being overweight (more than just a little) is a bad quality beyond aesthetics. I would like to be with someone who is capable of taking care of themselves not only mentally and emotionally but physically as well to some degree.

My question is, at what point does the amount that he weighs make him not worth dating, in your opinion?

Not worth dating?  He's is a human with a heart, lung, eyes, ears, nose, brain, arms and legs.  He has feelings! Who are you to establish his worth?  

How would you like to know that someone thinks you are not WORTH dating?

Do him a really HUGE favor and DON'T go with him unless you are going to forget about his size and forget about caring about what others think.  He knows he's fat and the last thing he needs is someone else to tell him that he's unworthy of dating you.

I don't think they're saying he's not worth dating, it's just not someone they would date. It's not their fault they're not attractive to people who could suffocate them...

I actually prefer guys with some meat on them, but not to the point where it looks disgusting.  The guy I like is chubby, but not in a WHOA YUCK way.
