It's important to me for several reasons. I want a woman who can keep up with me inside and outside of the bedroom. These woman usually take pride in their appearance and treat their bodies with respect. They are definitely easy on the eyes. Let's just say they can show you a few moves in bed that otherwise out of shape woman could not perform. Couch potatoes aren't that appealing. For the woman out there, what are your thoughts?

very important.

I won't date a man who is out of shape - big belly - NO WAY

It is important to be in shape and if you are not in shape you need to get yourself together before you give yourself to another person.  No matter how long it takes - you should focus on yourself. Before you share yourself with another.

OP.
Very important she is . . . . . . .When i'm not gonna marry Mrs Chima

So you saying if a person is "out of shape" then they don't deserve love and happiness? I'm not in "shape" <--(thin), and I'm in a more than satisfied and happy relationship. I've never had any complaints about me lacking in *anything.* You feel me? I use to have that mentality too that I didn't deserve a real man and to be geninely happy because I was big. My body size don't make me who I am as a human being and determine my worth. However, everyone IS entitled to be with whom they want to be with and has the freedom to choose to be with whom they want to be with.

I can't date a man who is pot bellied
it irritates me

It is very important to me.
I'm not saying he must be like Shemar Moore(although if he is you won't see me complaining),but he has to be fit.
No guys with potbellies that look like garbage cans for me.

Very important! I'm in shape so i see no reason why my patner wont be in shape.

There is a difference between being in shape and being thin/slim. A woman call be curvy but still be in shape and flexible and all that wahala when it comes to bedroom sport! (ask Jay Z and Marc Anthony!!!!!)
As for men, the pot belly before the age of 50 is unacceptable

I understand what you are saying.  Everyone DESERVES love and happiness that is why I ONLY SPEAK FOR MYSELF.

I sacrifice ALOT and GIVE MYSELF AWAY TO TOO MANY and I retain very little for myself and that has been ongoing for soo long.  That I think that if I FINALLY have a say so in something in my life - then I retain the right to say that "I want a Man who is IN SHAPE."

Sex is important to me - I don't have alot to look forward to because I give myself away to too many people.  But Sex has to be something that I look forward to and enjoy.  BIG BELLY is BIG TURN OFF to me - PERSONALLY.  I refuse to waste my time looking for his family jewel that will be my family jewel once we marry.  I want to see it standing proudly - I refuse to have to lift his belly out of the way to find it.  This ain't hide and go seek.  And if his belly is bigger than his azz - FORGET IT!!!

Sit ups, crunches, toning exercises DON'T COST A DIME - they are free - he better put in some sweat hours with himself before he puts any sweat hours in with me.  Because I REFUSE to fake an orgas-m.  I enjoy my orgas-m's too much to go on a pretend trip for any man.  The ones I give him will be real and I want mine real as well.

I don't ask for much but here are the CRITICAL AREAS that HAVE TO BE RIGHT: My relationship with God (I work on daily - because God is the reason for my success and happiness), My mate (SEX, Harmonious relationship - we have to be content with each other), Money - my money HAS TO BE RIGHT and my daily WORKOUT routine (Exercise) - to keep my stress level LOW.

Those areas - Those 4 - ARE NON-NEGOTIABLES  - everything else can be haywire and I can procrastinate on - BUT THOSE 4 HAVE TO BE SPOT ON!

for me anyway

you have a lovely photo on your profile - you should definitely feel good about yourself.

Very important. If she is out of shape now, what is she going to look like if married and after 5 or 6 kids?

Will probably balloon to 200 pounds.

I'm only interested in women who take care of their bodies

Jeez everything must be about ur perverted acts?.

Pweety4me:

Jeez everything must be about your perverted acts?.

You noticed that too? I thought I was the only one. Whew.

i think a guy has to be in shape its a big NO to pot bellies and flesh on tha bones. am an has to be fit coz i think a pot belly does ruin one`s SEX life.i luv dem muscles big time. fo da ladies i think you have some flesh on the rite areas such as the backside,sideways and on da bossoms it shld be proportional i.e. nt too big or too small. and come to think of it im dating a naija guy he always complains that i hve a big `nyash` he has neva dated curvy ladies and i wonda bt im in damn gud shape.

I have my own bills - flat stomach or no date

Now if we are doing business together - yes - I will go out with him if it is business related then his big stomach is his business.

But romance - he must have flat stomach.
