I'd say vote yes. I'd also so this doesn't look extremely accurate based on many people I know around 30bmi who, on this, would fit "slightly overweight".
Like look at someone like actress Sara Rue. Not only is the overweight version of her a good example, I also personally think she looks horrible without the weight.
I certainly don't have a bias for attraction to overweight women, but with her I just like her as a big girl far more haha.
My husband is "overweight" .Apparently I rape him in his sleep.
I'm not shallow. It's not the weight, it's the person.
I'm overweight, so, you know, who cares? (I refuse to listen to Michelle Obama and her plea for everyone to be skinny. I think she's shallow.)
Meh.
This shallowness cryings tend to fall in terribly false dichotomies.
We all have our checklists and they tend to include a few "shallow" points here and there. Many women have as a point that the man has a job or even thathe earns more or less the same or more than her.
It's a matter of personal preference.
A boyfriend and a girlfriend fulfill several needs, one of which is sex (when it comes to talking about a sexually exclusive relationships). In the matters of sex, all of us that are heterosexual or homosexual are at least somewhat shallow.
Would you feel sexually attracted to a smart beautiful, witty, funny woman which you love and have a deep spychological conection with? Maybe you would just be friends right? maybe this is because of her body being that of a woman, no?
That is "shallow" too, but I wouldnt say you are as a whole "shallow" as a person.
I find it so ironic the shallow judgements made upon who is shallow for what
Cannot say I am attracted by someone being overweight. That said, I would be a fool to not date someone I like just because she has too much weight .Just wondering for some honest opinions, no judgement. Say you like someone's personality, have fun, but the person is overweight. We are talking you can tell there's weight but we aren't talking morbidly obese or even close. How much does it weigh on your opinion of a relationship? Some people are repulsed by the overweight straight off the bat, some think overweight is far to small and prefer obese partners, some don't even care. Advertising and entertainment certainly have us chasing anorexic women and muscular men, but some are less affected than the constant propaganda than others.
ADDITION:
For sake of example, take someone of around 5'4'' and 160 - 210 pounds.
I wouldn't mind if she was a woman. I like people for who they are.
Same here.I voted no. Call me shallow if you want but I would just not date someone overweight.

Not only would I date an overweight man, I actually prefer them over skinny guys.

Same here.
This is not to cast aspersions upon them, but is a matter of sexual desirability.
It's not accurate at all. I'm built more like the 24-26 guy, but my BMI is about 34. But the BMI is for the average person who gets little to no exercise and carries little to no extra muscle.
