b52s Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Now, I don't hit the gym all the time, but I try to stay active moderately by going walking once a day...granted I don't have much tone at 5'9" and 165....I guess there's more to being physically attractive than just being NOT overweight? Of course, I've seen women with hot bodies that are HARDCORE work out queens with boyfriends that average/flabby bodies...one guy had a pic with his girlfriend...had a "Pooch' and a "bird chest" (as an 80's gym coach would call us in HS,lol) He was handsome, tall...but she looked like she could kick his ass...I'm talking wait trainer build, just think of the female trainer on "The biggest Loser" and that's what she looks like He's okay, kinda of handsome, but definately far from her level of bodyshape.
ordinary_girl Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I skinny fats are usually men that spend their time on the couch eating pizza and then down the pub drinking pints of beer. they are skinny fat when they are young and develop a beer belly when older. for a guy to let himself go like that is lazy and therefore unattractive

Yukikazi Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 I am this way... I started to get in shape and am at about 150 nowadays.. but I still got some fat to get rid of (not beach ready yet).. it happens when you loose weight also.. if the skin doesn't tighten up again.. sometimes takes up to 2 years depending on how long the person was overweight and skin elasticity.
ordinary_girl Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 yeah I went through a phase of drinking a lot of alcohol and noticed I started getting flabby so changed my lifestyle and got fit. managed to nip it in the bud thank god, really not a good look. for some people it takes a while to get a lot of weight on but can still look pretty flabby/unfit
Enema Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Helpful little chart if you don't know the different types! http://i38.tinypic.com/15z2ma1.jpg
meerkat stew Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Those pictures couldn't be more ridiculously labelled. 1. Real athletes, not bodybuilders, who aren't athletes at all, look nothing like what is labelled "athletic" in that link. Most athletes -in top shape- carry significantly more fat on their bodies than those pictures, depends some on which sport admittedly. 2. Most of the pictures of guys labelled "fat" are equivalent to the amount of fat that average women carry. Women's obsessiveness with thinness has begun to carry over into their descriptions and expectations of men, yet if men express preference for a non-obese woman, they are chided with being superficial and only wanting to date "stick-thin" models Funny stuff. Sad that it's also true these days.
Author b52s Posted December 29, 2009 Author Posted December 29, 2009 Meerkat...and others...I would say this is a good example of "Skinny" fat to toned/athletic. It's a before and after pic of the same woman Before and After Pic As you can see, she is just as hot as she was when she didn't work out. And you can barely see a diff.
InspiredbyYou Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) I'm telling you I see this more often than the other way around, women are more forgiving... Call me crazy but of all the guys on that chart the "chubby fat" guy is the most appealing to me, or at least the one that looks the most natural and real. Edited December 29, 2009 by InspiredbyYou

There's a BIG difference between those two, IMO. But to answer your question... a skinny fat guy (a guy with little to no muscle tone) isn't attractive TO ME because it's obvious that he's not physically active on a regular basis.
meerkat stew Posted December 29, 2009 Posted December 29, 2009 Replace the men in the picture with women of equivalent body shape, and the difference in labels would be drastic. Skinny>> anorexic swimmer>> anorexic ripped/athletic>> tone built>> tone bodybuilder>> inapplicable to women, they just can't develop that level of musculature, or at least haven't been able to yet here's where the differences become telling though skinny fat>> average builtfat>> average chubbyfat>> average obese fat>> fat strongfat>>average Skinnyfat, builtfat, chubbyfat, and especially strongfat carry the same body shape as the average women, yet equivalent women wouldn't be referred to as "fat." The "strongfat" guy is actually more like "pro-football player" and though those guys carry more fat than in other sports generally, only an idiot (or a really jealous emo kid) could have labelled that guy as "fat" in any way shape or form. In the link showing the before and after of the woman, before is "significantly overweight," not "skinny fat," just plain ole FAT (much fatter than all the guys labelled fat except "obese fat"), and the after picture is average to slightly overweight. Why is this?

I'd hit either one, no problem. Both look okay. If both versions could be merged into one that's the denominator of the two, that would be ideal.
