After being familiarized with a controversial article on obese people, it made me wonder about something and I decided to pose it to the good men and women of Edenfantasys.

It would be easier to set up a scenario first before I pose my question.

You've met a man/woman whose personality is on target to what you like. This person is great personality wise, however their body type isn't what you generally go for. They are too chubby or too thin.

Now, I don't know if this would really bug anyone or not, but if it did, could your difficulty at accepting them be eased if they had been doing everything they could to overcome this?

Like, if the person is overweight and eats well, exercises, yet for whatever reason they aren't at a healthier place.

Would you be willing to support them while they try to get to a happier place for themself?



(I'm not saying that someone NEEDS to change their body type for someone else, I am also not saying that everyone would automatically put such importance on body shape. As someone who isn't quite comfortable with my own body despite dedicated effort to change it, I'm vary curious to see what other people think and feel on the subject. This is by no way meant to suggest that I have a problem with how anyone chooses to live or, willingly or not, how their body type is.)
