hardknocks Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Turning the tables a bit. I'm a thin guy. (5'10"/155#) Generally I'm always one of the smaller looking men in the room. I have often felt.. w/o any proof that women tend to like larger men - a good bit larger than they are - it seems to me women woud prefer and overweight man to a underweight man. T or F??
Star Gazer Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I would prefer to date a chubby guy over a skinny guy. However, if given the choice between an obese guy and a reaaaaaalllyyy skinny guy, I'd then choose the skinny guy.
pricillia Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Most of my BF's have been fit, except one, but I encouraged him and he lost alot of weight. I prefer a man that I can feel comfortable with, If he were really over weight than I may not be attracted to him, but also if he took care of his looks and he had a few extra then that is alright.
Green Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 5'10 and 155 isnt even that skinny dont wory about it
SadandConfusedWA Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I prefer a man that will make feel skinny and small. So anyone that is bigger than me will do. I do prefer man of an average weight.
Author hardknocks Posted January 28, 2007 Author Posted January 28, 2007 5'10 and 155 isnt even that skinny dont wory about it funny thing is i do worry about it. it is hard to meet women! and the irony is that i actually feel best about myself at about 148# because i can see my abs but when i have on a dress shirt i look skinny.. but with no shirt on i look heavier than i am .. i diet and then gain and then diet like a freak ;-)

Heh, you must be my long lost brother. Only 5lbs lighter than me and same height. True fact: The more slim you are, the shorter you look for the most part. Thicker men look taller. Add about 20lbs and you'll look taller. But not 20lbs of fat, 20lbs of muscle. I've gained 10lbs of muscle this past year working my tail off and hitting the whey isolate.
Citizen Erased Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I actually prefer skinny guys, like Ville Valo or Matt Bellamy from Muse. Mmnn yummy.
magichands Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 5'10 and 155 isnt even that skinny dont wory about it I think he's referring to his penis. But you're right - 70 kg is definitely not underweight for that height.
Green Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I weigh about 150 and I'm over 6 foot tall, and its never stopped me with the ladies. now in my phantasy world I'll join a gym eat alot of meat and gain about 60 pounds of evenly placed muscle mass. but the point is dont wory about how u look and what you eat so much. Women find confidence in yourself, and the way you look attractive you better believe that, so dont be afraid of rejection go put your self out there be charming be confident and remember to have good time and you should find yourself in a pretty good place with our fairer sex
magichands Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 now in my phantasy world I'll join a gym eat alot of meat and gain about 60 pounds of evenly placed muscle mass. Now that would be the horniest man alive.
Sand&Water Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 RE: . . . women woud prefer and overweight man to a underweight man. Not me. For some odd reason, or another I have always liked slim/underweight/muscular men. They appeal more to me than an overweight man. Don't ask. [ -although, it doesn't mean overweight men are shunned out of my life] Hardknocks, 15-20 lbs will do wonders for you. Women will notice your physique, and you will feel much better. You might want to give it a shot. Don't lay too much weight on this issue. As you age, it tends to get better. When you least expect it, someday, a woman will dig you just the way you are.

katiebour Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I once dated a large man for a few weeks- I must say it was rather uncomfortable to be knocked around by his weight while in bed. Quite a turn-off, actually. Two of my LTRs have been with tall, skinny guys 6' and 6'4 both around 200lbs and honestly I fit better with my tall, skinny darlin' than with anyone meatier. My last ex was about 5'10" and 230 lbs- it wasn't bad but I think it's really all in how two bodies fit together. I'm 5' 5 1/2", about 200 lbs (sigh ) and my sweetie is 6'4" and 200lbs as I mentioned before. I sometimes feel self-concious about my weight in comparison to his, but he's my man so I just live with it. He's perfect to me.
Porn_Guy Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I think he's referring to his penis. But you're right - 70 kg is definitely not underweight for that height. what you mean its not underweight. his normal weight should be around 175 to 180 lbs. he's skin and bones at 155 lbs.
burning 4 revenge Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 funny thing is i do worry about it. it is hard to meet women! and the irony is that i actually feel best about myself at about 148# because i can see my abs but when i have on a dress shirt i look skinny.. but with no shirt on i look heavier than i am .. i diet and then gain and then diet like a freak ;-) i understand how you feel. i feel best at 145 lbs (i'm 5'8). right now i'm like 152 and i feel slightly overweight, but people still consider me on the slimmer side. i can't see my abs until i get down to 140. then people say i'm too skinny. you can't win.
BabyPhoenix Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 True fact: The more slim you are, the shorter you look for the most part. Thicker men look taller. Add about 20lbs and you'll look taller I disagree. The slimmer you are, the taller you look. The more bulk you have, the perception is that you are appear shorter than you actually are. HARDKNOCKS, you are a normal weight. Yes on the slimmer side, but by no means underweight. I think that weight perception is also a cultural thing. In America, people view those who are actually of normal, healthy weight (such as yourself) as skinny, because of the cultural influence such as the expectation of large, developed muscles - or even just seeing large segments of the population as overweight (thus being accepted as the norm). If you really want to gain weight, then you have to do it the hard way – by eating a lot of protein and intense weight training. Just keep in ming that if you have not developed your musculature, then your weight is perfectly normal. If you simply gained weight, you would just become fat and expand in all the wrong places. Being a normal weight is much more attractive than fat.
LazyLibra Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I'm 6"2 and 205lbs , Now i'm not skinny but i'm not fat. I get alot of interested girls and i would label myself "chubby". There is a certain degree to where this is true but i think it's not you body type it's how to work it. I dress nice, I take care of myself and i have sexy eyes, hair and whatnot, here is 2 pics not the best quality though so pardon me SIRS http://img357.imageshack.us/my.php?image=193600it4.jpg http://img361.imageshack.us/my.php?image=allsmileswc5.jpg
RichC Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 My take is that most of the interaction I have seen between men and women is that women like proportioned men not to fat not too thin. I sometimes have problems because I am 5'11 and 230. I have been bodybuilding for 27 years and it shows. Sometimes women think you are a "tough guy". I have to prove by my actions that I really am a normal guy and am aware of my "bulk" and that I have many interests besides working out. Look, Ric Ocasek of the Cars married the model Paulina Peretzkova so there's hope. I can't imagine anyone skinnier or whiter than him.
Porn_Guy Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Look, Ric Ocasek of the Cars married the model Paulina Peretzkova so there's hope. I can't imagine anyone skinnier or whiter than him. ha aha ha ha but Ric is loaded with ca$h. Those albums by the Cars sold millions of copies....."Candie-O, I need you"
RichC Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 She's loaded with cash too so its an equal relationship on that level. For me its Dangerous Type. Got their Greatest Hits in the computer now.
Krytellan Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Ahh, see... it's all in the butt. I'm a bit on the fleshy side <.< 6' 220 lbs. But girls love my butt cuz I have what I call a bubble butt. I guess some women really like that. And let's face it, once they see me fully naked I've already accomplished my goal Just kidding... not really... hehe. If you make the encounter good enough, they don't care about what they saw... I hope.
emmaUK Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 i LOVE chubby men.... i would choose a chubby guy over any other guy. not to overweight mind you.. but about a 36inch waist is what i like with a stocky build i love having something to squeeze and cuddle... its lovely. the guy im seeing at the mo is chubby and its so sexy n adorable. i love watching him stuffin his face with the food i cook him. (ha ha i sound like a feeder.)
robkris8079 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 I am 5' 11" and use to weight 260+ lbs. I got no attention from any female of any kind. Not even my wife (who isn't my wife anymore). She ran off with some skinny guy. So I decided to make myself look and feel better by working out. I am now 175lbs. Let me tell you from experience the ladies don't like the bigger boys! I get more than enough attention from the opposite sex now. But then again it might have to do with my confidence level now. I talk to them more and just generally seem more appoachable because I'm happy with who I am and the way I look.
IWalkAlone Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Beign skinny isn't bad if there's muscle definition. If you're 5'10 and 170, but you have well-defined muscles in your arms, shoulders and pectorals, and have visible abs and a narrow waist that's the athletic look women like. But if you have skinny arms, small shoulds and flat pectorals, women will pick a chubby guy over you.
