How much does weight factor in?

[Jaron]

Engages a large portion of your body.

Outrigger sculling model, too.  Even better.

I I could manage to get my ass to buy another one, I would.  Bitch to flick your ashes, though.

I'm really hoping that we end up relocating somewhere close to a lake or reservoir. I rowed in college and absolutely loved it. I'd love to get a one-man scull and do that for exercise.

Biggest downside is that I bulk up VERY easily. I mean, my calves are larger than my 18-year-old son's without an ounce of excess flesh. Rowing has a tendency to make my traps, triceps, and biceps HUGE.

Pics?

Anyways, everybody that wants to get in shape should listen to Otto.

He gave me a detailed workout and food plan about 6 years ago that kicked ass, even though he probably doesn't remember. 

How fucking rude.

How fucking rude.

I appreciate the advice you've given me, 11B4V.

And the advice I've gotten from everyone else.

One other point, don't underestimate the need for the right amount of protein if you're exercising more, it'll also help you recover and repair any damage done.
On the subject of which make sure you also get enough ascorbic acid as well.

I personally find it difficult to keep my weight up and I'm considering cutting back on the amount of exercise I do.  And not being very keen on meat, means I do struggle to get enough protein at times.

To actually address the thread topic, I think distribution of fat is important. I have very little tolerance (read none) for female belly fat. Fortunately a lot of women gain fat in other areas before starting to accumulate belly fat, but some don't, sucks to be them.

Now, I've been married a long time now, but before then I had the standard system in which I had two different standards. Girl to take home from the bar and bang once and never see again? Virtually no standards, fat, skinny, young, old, etc. To go out with, be seen at a restaurant with, etc? I'd prefer a non-fat woman. For any long term relationship involving fucking without me being drunk, I also need a woman I'm attracted to, so there is that.

Have two hard-boiled eggs a day.  Case closed.

I'm curious what the answers will be in an anonymous (or mostly) poll.

For me, I only notice if my partner is extremely thin or fat. (By this I mean ribs-thin or rolls-fat.) Otherwise, I don't really pay attention. I do prefer my men with a bit of meat on them, but I wouldn't kick a 20 BMI out of my bed.

What?
Weight is THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE EVAH!!!!!1111

After age, of course.

I don't do chubsters. One of us needs a concave belly or we'd never meet in the middle! Men with fat thighs especially repel me.

I think every man replying to this thread should post their waist size to offer context to their answers

The question was what you find attractive, not what you deserve.

Still less than my age.  So there.

Except for Dickies where it's 36.

The way the question is posed makes it very difficult to answer, since unless you are a "no fatties" or a "there's more to love" type person, weight probably factors into overall physical attractiveness -- which means it's not the numerical weight alone that counts but, as others have said, distribution, presentation, etc., in conjunction with all the other things that provoke feelings of sexual-romantic desire.

FWIW, I haven't given much thought to the weight factor in my own relationships.  In retrospect, they've ranged from pretty heavy to rail thin.    Context is everything, I guess.

EDIT:  A loose 32 (even in Dickies).
