I have often wondered this. Does anyone care to comment? I think in the back of my mind that maybe that's why I don't get a lot of responses. I am funny, educated, beautiful, cultured, caring, positive, artistic and independent and I don't enjoy drama. I don't get it.

Some do. Some don't.

We've all seen enough couples where we just don't get it, but it seems to work for them. I do believe there is somebody for everybody.

You just have to believe in yourself.

Hey there!

I'm so glad you have a positive attitude. That is beautiful in itself. Also YES, you are beautiful.

Men DO have that aversion to heavy set women though. I know it sux. Many times you feel like they don't even give you a chance to show you are a nice person. How do you ever win that way right?

I feel the same way for analogous reasons. I have facial hair and I've been told that its a turn off.

I'm a scinetist, and I've been told that that's a turn-off due to the way I speak. I guess my speech can be too overwhelming? What's the right word? Too articulate? Something like that? Intimidating maybe? Cold? Too calculated instead of funny and empathetic?

I have a toned athletic stature, I THINK I have a decent looking bust (Face/head.)? Yet I've been on these dating sites for about 5 months w/ NOTHING but a few responses that were from women who were WAY not my type...and that's it. Not one girl who would be considered by the materialistic/superficial population as attractive. Or above a 5 ot of 10 on the infanous "scale".

I'd a thought I'd get at least a mix of responses, but not even close. I think I've gotten maybe 5 responses (Winks/hello's.) in 5 months. I try and spark comunications with as many women as possibe too. They just NEVER respond?

So, anyway, hang in there. I'm trying to. It will eventually happen for you.

Some guys PREFER full figured women I've heard. It's becoming more and more popular.

To answer your question, for the most part, men don't.

I'm not a guy, but I think I can honestly tell you that some men do and some men don't. My boyfriend seems to like my full figure just fine. And I had plenty of dates and had been involved in previous romantic relationships before the two of us met. When I am out and about IRL I see plenty of larger women who appear to be out with their husbands/boyfriends/dates and having a good time.

I just think that online dating/relationship sites are probably not the best avenue for larger size women. If that's you in the pic, you do appear to be very attractive- I am sure that there someone who will be attracted to you as you are.

I think most men say they do but they don't. Shame on them

If a woman has a body type that makes her have bigger curves than most women around her, but she looks fit that's one thing. It's quite another to have "a few extra pounds." A few extra pounds usually ends up being 30-60 lbs. of fat hanging in a roll... That's not attractive.

Extra weight for me just isn't attractive. HOWEVER anorexia is equally unattractive.

With proper diet and hard work, anyone, male or female, can reach and maintain a healthy weight.

Define "full-figured".

You might want to give a little more scientific consideration to your phrasing, before you start start analyzing women in terms of bust sizes, imaginary scales, and factors of aversion.

Men don't have aversions, they have preferences. And some of them prefer full figured women.

And, if you don't sound patronising and demeaning, you might actually improve your own odds, regardless of your personal preferences.

IcecreamMoon, I don't think he was using the word "bust" to describe a woman's chest. I think he meant it to describe how he looks from head to neck. You know, as in a sculpture depicting a person's head and shoulders.

But the rating scale 5 out of 10-well-that's a little off putting.
