It is, but it's personal, and no one's going to call you out on it unless you do something ill-advised like talk about it on a message board.

No, its not fatphobic. Youre just not attracted to fat people.

No. Not being physically attracted to someone because of a physical feature is not a phobia.

No. Seek out and date a person with whatever body type and personality you prefer as long as it is legal and ethical. It's your life, fuck what everybody else thinks. There is nothing wrong with preferring a more lean partner, especially if it seems like they are healthier and can be and remain more independent when it comes to physical activities.

No, it is not fatphobic if it is only a dating preference thing and not more. Just as there are guys who only date fatter women.

Anyone who tells you differently is wrong. And yes, there are people on CE who say differently.

It's not and claiming otherwise as an automatic response is delusional.

I say no.

You're attracted to who you're attracted to.

That being said... if you won't even THINK about talking to someone because they've been described to be on the heavier side, even though you've never seen them yourself, that isn't right, as they may have other physical or personality traits that counterbalance things you may not be entirely attracted to.

In my opinion.

To me, there's a difference between saying "I'm usually not attracted to heavier girls" and "I refuse to date heavier girls".

If you are generally not attracted to black people (we do tend to have distinctive physical features, like every other race), then no, thats not racist. If you just think lowly of black people, then yes, thats racist.

Nuance, man. Critical thinking is the cure.

just like spiderphobia doesnt exist; its called arachnophobia.

Im not a fan of this modern trend to add phobia to the end of any regular word that you or someone else is accused of disliking.

Man, people should stop throwing around the term phobic so easily these days. I hate to sound like a nerd but it's one of those words that shouldn't be casuallized

Why are you speaking to her? Serious question. Sit, think and answer. Why? Are you that lonely or horny? It makes no sense.

Sometimes you have to date someone to know. I have dated overweight women. Some ultimately kept me turned on and some didn't. For me, it depended on how much weight, where the weight is, the attractiveness of their mannerisms and facial features, and their personality. Ultimately, I am either attracted or not and I can't control that. But you also can't always tell by a simple pic, as attractiveness is so much more than that.

Nope. Humans speaking very generally, are attracted to people who are in good shape. It's not like you're being mean to her because of her weight or anything. You're just saying you would prefer not to be in a relationship with her, correct?
