Brady_to_Moss Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 90% of girls i know in this age group go based on looks. I am skinny and tall and i dont mind..but girls for some reason like muscle and not skinny? Dont know why.
Citizen Erased Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Do you prefer skinny women over fat women? It's all a matter of what you are attracted to.
Jake Barnes Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Do you prefer skinny women over fat women? well, if youre just talking physical, theres no doubt that a woman with some thickness and curve in her lower body is sexier than a skinny woman hands down being seriously overweight is a turn off though, no doubt
KinAZ Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I don't think it's fair to say that all women in that age range are shallow. I know when I first started dating I had height, weight, and body fat requirements (starting at age 16). But, by the time I was 19, and had gone out with a couple of guys who had done a bit of modeling... I stopped being so picky. I started to think, that the air might be a little too thin at 6'4" off the ground, and started giving shorter guys a chance. Many dates, and a decade later, I'm almost as shallow as I was at age 16, except I'm not so particular about the abs (or even a full head of hair, considering my age range). I, like many of my girlfriends, started to feel like "Well, if the little ones are going to be jerks too, we might as well be shallow. That way we can say 'Girl, at least he was fine!'" But on a more serious note, I think it is something that many girls start to grow out of as they get older and learn from experience that looks aren't everything. When I was 18 I went out with a really sweet guy for a short period of time, but I just wasn't physically attracted to him. He had a beautiful face, but the body type was completely off for me. It wasn't until LATER that I realized that he was one of the good ones and that I might have missed out on something because of the hangups I had. Although I could argue that one cannot help what he or she is or isn't attracted to, that understanding, for me, simply came with experience...
LucreziaBorgia Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I'm not sure if 'shallow' is the right word exactly - a lot of women in that age range are greatly concerned about what others will think about the man they are with, and whether he adds to or subtracts from her social worth.
FormerNiceGuy Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 They're not shallow. They're just still in the process of growing. I know a ton of guys who are between 17 and 20 who are absolutely clueless and shallow. And I find it humorous when there's a bunch of guys that say, "Oh, this girl is shalllow blah blah blah." Would you go out with some girl that's overweight? ugly? or underweight? When you know you can do better. Don't complain that people are shallow. Instead, fix yourself and get stronger. Don't wish it was easier. Wish you were better. Take an honest look in the mirror. If you were a stranger and were looking at yourself for the first time. What would your first impression be? Is that the impression you want to give off to people? If it is not, you must portray the man you want to become.
Green Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 even if its true thinking like this will only impair you for when you meet the girls who arn't shallow.

Remove "in that age range" and I would agree 100%
Pedigree Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I know a ton of guys who are between 17 and 20 who are absolutely clueless and shallow. *puts hands up*

littlekitty Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 They aren't grown up yet, and they haven't formulated adult opinions on what is important. At that age, the majority will be going on looks and popularity.

At that age, the majority will be going on looks and popularity. IME they are not necessarily shallow - but they lack life experience and don't know themselves well, if at all. So, their life choices tend to reflect this inexperience.
