As others have mentioned, I'd mostly be concerned about why she might have gained the weight, and want to make sure things are okay. I've found over the last few years that I can enjoy people of all shapes and sizes, male or female, young or old.

The physical part isn't the determining factor. Naturally I'm most interested in people that show signs of taking care of themselves, but that's simply a sign of self esteem. If anything, I would prefer a woman with some fat over one who is bony. Many of the hormones that help one enjoy life require one have some heft.

Of course, this might be different if monogamy were a necessary part of my relationships. By keeping things open, no one person has to be perfect, instead they can simply be appreciated for who they are.
