Can't give a figure or proportion, but I know there are a lot of obese men out there who are likely content with similarly shaped obese women so I'd say it is fairly high. Folks with similar body types tend to attract one another.

Chubby chasers have been around forever. Overweight women generally don't have a problem getting laid.

I'm reminded of many racially oriented jokes.

If you're an overweight woman, you can get laid quite easily if you're not picky.

I guess I'm coming across as a cocky bitch.

Yes, chubbys can't be choosers.

i love 300 lb mature porn so i guess i count

hahahahahhaaha... the people on this site are not normal.
i think it is all in how you carry yourself, i have been 200-250lbs almost the whole time i have been sexually active. i have always been able to be picky, but i am not wearing gross clothes and i take care of my hair and skin, i even like to work out, i just seem to not be able to get lower than 200lbs, but my boyfriends always think i look hot and sexy. i have also had some really hot lovers, even some lifegaurds and models, that i would have normally thought would not want to be with someone as big as me. some guys are going to have sex with whats available, BUT other guys REALLY enjoy looking at, holding and having sex with a bigger lady. My hunnie now does not even check out thin girls, its the heavier ones that i catch his eyes checking out their ass, hips and thighs! :)
i dont know the percentage, but more than 75% of the guys i have been with enjoy holding on to me, and beg to come back for more, some have even proposed.

Recent psychologic studies tells us that only 8% of men likes 'overweight' womens... The "I'm pretty inside so you should love me the same" thing is laughable for the rest of us (92%)... If you want to be or stay desired by the majority, stay fit ladies... :)

"If you are going to try and throw around percentages, you have to also include your source," My source is the Dr. Pierre Mailloux (a french canadian (Québecois)Psychiatrist) ... He has a radio program every day at 1 PM (until 4PM) on CKAC730 RADIO in MONTRÉAL... The guy is solid and doesn't like bullshit, I'll take note next time that he'll talk about his source (I'll include it here)... :)

Sorry I've put word with the french accent so they are distorded by the site "Qub0065cois" = Quebecois (a Quebecer) , MONTRAL = Montreal

Here's a site with something that goes in the sense of my previous answers, the real source is yet to be found : http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/08/AR2006050801013.html?nav=rss_opinion/columns

There is a lot of men who like the fuller figure woman, men find the hour glass figure more attractive than twig like women. If you think of it like this, a skinny woman has no curves and no bust which in my oppinion is describing a boy. my fella loves my curves, lumps and bumps

"There is a lot of men who like the fuller figure woman" - If 8% of all man is a lot for you, good for you... :)

I am a man who likes woman who are both overweight as well as normal weight. IMHO attractiveness lies in a woman's self confidence. What is a turn off is a woman who makes her weight a bigger issue than it is. Any man or woman who has a poor self-perception is likeky to find it harder to attract the opposite sex.

I dont know many, I only know one (he is average weight)

I wear a size 9, I'm 5'4" and I weigh 150 pounds. I workout three times a week, running and lifting weights. I have just been asked to model for Suicide Girls and I'm 35 years old and have a hot 18 year old boyfriend and we have sex from 2-5 times a day. I don't diet and I eat healthy, except tonight I got a pizza on the way;) I used to be a fitness trainer and a size 5 and had the perfect body and I dieted to death and I got hit on less, by less attractive men, had less sex and enjoyed it less. I'm having the time of my life now and I have pizza and sex delivered to me tonight. So-I guess I have the 8% market cornered;)

10.23845%

At 5'4" - 150 pounds you are not obese... My studies says that only 8% of men's like obese women... Someone is declared obese when he or she has more than 40 pounds the healthy weight...

I like a little padding, but not fat.

most men like a woman with some meat on her bones-not sloppy fat but some curves.some guys are just to insecure to admit it and go as far as to ridicule guys who are open about liking curvey women.
