My b.f.'s sticks out kinda far, people tell him he looks pregnant sometimes, but it's hard, not soft & jiggly so I don't mind it. I'll be honest, fat guys aren't a turn on for me. But stick thin or even just thin guys are really a turn off for me.

I don't think there's an answer to that one as "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and what's attractive to one person may not be attractive to another.
For example, I personally am not into Brad Pitt but I know a lot of women think he's the hottest of hot.
I think, if you are to go back to basics, we are genetically & evolutionarily programmed with the 'survival of the fittest' goal. There ARE some things we are instinctively attracted to or put off by because they indicate to us that we are likely to produce healthy offspring with that person (I read a study about this once -- it's all very subconscious).
For example, you generally aren't attracted to someone who looks like they're 2-steps away from dying because you're brain knows that's not a viable option.
If a man were hugely overweight (obese), I would imagine that, instinctively, a woman isn't going to seek him out ... UNLESS she has a thing for obesity (unusual but it does occur).
Generally, any animal (human or otherwise) will seek out a healthy specimen for a partner.
Having said all of that... it doesn't matter if you love the person anyway. I have a friend who, when she first met the man she ended up marrying, didn't look at him twice. But she said that within 6 months of knowing him, he'd become the most beautiful man she'd ever seen!
Whatever the situation is, make sure you're as healthy as you can be for YOU, regardless of whether you're attractive to the opposite sex.
Go for walks if you're overweight & cut out unnecessary saturated fats (not all fats though as you're body still needs a little fat in your diet).
It's no good finding a woman if you end up dropping dead from a heart-attack one year into things!
