Women certainly want a man who can at least walk and keep up physically with her. If your extra weight doesn't cause discomfort or health problems, then it's not a big concern to women then.

Usually the ideal man a woman will think about is someone who is handsome and attractive. If you are really handsome and really charming, then extra weight wouldn't be a big issue. Also, it depends on a woman. If she is attracted to you and loves you, she will like you the way you are.

Very often women watch movies with strong handsome heroes, or prince charming stories, so they have an ideal in her mind...but who she will fall in love with could be completely different.

Attraction isn't always a choice, sometimes women get attracted to men not even sure why. Once she gets attracted to you, she will find things to love in you.

Women, men and self imagine

If a woman has a good self esteem, if she likes her weight and her looks, she will be more accepting of you too. People who don't like themselves, who don't like their own weight would find problems with yours too. Did you hear saying "What is in you that I don't like about myself?".

If she likes herself the way she is, she will like you too, if she likes her weight, she will like your weight too.

If a woman doesn't like her current weight, if she always wants to loose some, if she feels embarrassed to be overweight, more likely she would be embarrassed of you too.

It doesn't matter if a woman is fat or skinny, but it matters what is her attitude toward her own and your weight.

Most women wouldn't mind if you had a little extra belly as long as you are awesome in other ways. If you have the most important qualities that she needs, she wouldn't care too much if you gained a few pounds.

More about fat men

Be careful about changes. Women want a man to look the same (or not too much different) as she first fall in love with him. If you gain too much weight in a few years, she might not be as excited and happy as she was before.

Look around yourself. Do you see couples where women married to fat man? It tells you that yes, women can like fat man, but more than that they like a total package, everything that you can offer, not just weight.

Also, women looking for psychological compatible and kind men, this is even more important than weight or money. Weight isn't a very strong factor in attraction. So many women go for thin or fat men not because of their looks but because of other more important characteristics.

As far as sexual attraction...women don't get aroused by just looks. Women need mental attraction. It's all in her mind. If she is attracted to you mentally, your looks will very attractive to her too. Men do get aroused more visually, but women need psychological and mental attraction first. Attraction is hard to explain and doesn't always make sense, so your total package will make a woman to decide whether she wants you or not.
