i'm pretty overweight and i've never had a serious bf. i mean i've had a couple guys to go out on a date or 2 and to like homecoming but that's pretty much it. i don't think some guys reallize how much it hurts not only to hear but to even read things like "i hate fat girls, skinny girls are the girls for me" that just makes my heart sink. i mean i guess i know where they're coming from because i myself being a heavy girl can even think someone isn't very attractive. but hey i'm only human. but some people just take it too far. voice ur opinion sure whatever, but never say it to a big girl's face and don't say it in a mean way.

im a guy and girls dont have to be skinny for us to date them but it seems to be the norm that guys go out with the skinny girls (dont ask me why)

No. Trust me.

I like girls with a little extra. I'm not talking about redundant slabs of protoplasm, obviously, but it's revolting when ribs are visible. And as far as that whole looks vs. personality debate, they're two different animals. Men value the two differently - The "looks" he's sexually aroused by can run the gamut from 50-500lbs.

Most boys i know only like girls as objects to look at, but there's a select few who actually like someone for who they are.

Wow, I just found out how much I hate steryotypes. That's just as bad as saying white guys only like skinny girls.

black dudes and mexicans like fat girls

I personally am on of the most vain people you will ever meet so, to me thin is the what i like

All right, stop stressing about body image. I listened to people with the complicated plans of how to lose weight and keep in shape. I think that I have finally figured it out. I've started doing it, and though I've never been overweight, I've started to lose the extra little flabbies in miscellaneous places.

So here it goes. Easy. I realized that people have been going for years upon years and there weren't that many fat people. Occasionally one would show up, but they were rare.

A) Eat when you're hungry, and be careful about it. Wanting food or craving food does not equal hungry. I think that we eat cause we're bored or want to stay alert or something like that a lot. So eat when you need it, don't when you don't.

B) Enjoy what you eat. Savor it. If you're scarfing down food, you don't realize you're not hungry anymore, or you don't get satisfied by what you eat. Taste is there for a reason people. Enjoy your food. I like to find every taste in every food that I can. Consequently, and I don't try to, I am satisfied by much less food.

C) Find exercise that you like. Don't do something because you think that you have to. For me, I found Irish dancing. Good flexibility building, good muscle building in the back, abdomen and legs, and nice cardio (trust me, my family has high pulse-rates. Resting heart-rate is down from 85 to 54...that's good. If you're in really good shape your resting heart-rate should be below the "normal" range. And yes, I did ask a doctor if that's okay). So, I've burnt calories, built muscle, lowered my heart rate, and guess what? I love it. I don't dread it, and I feel less stressed after it, and I'm not doing it because I think that I need the exercise.

So, the best way to get in shape, is to enjoy life. If you're having serious overweight problems, you could have digestive issues, such as hypothyroidism, especially if you've gained a lot of weight suddenly (but that's not a requirement). So if you're really overweight, it could be something more serious, so make sure that you're aware of that.

HAVE FUN PEOPLE! Then we don't have to worry about who's fat and who's skinny. Enjoy life, and it's not a problem.

Well most boys are either shallow assholes or they wont date a bigger because they are afraid of what their friends would say. I myself am a big girl, and it is hard to find good guys.

no guys dont not only like girls who are skinny

let me repharse that

guys who actually LIKE girls do not only like girls who are skinny

teenage assholes who follow theyre penises around liek divining rods and will lie, manipulate, and do just about anything to get into a girls pants only like girls who are skinny

but they just like sex, not girls

and those arent guys who you would want to like you

not to sound cliched, but guys who like girls REALLY like confidence, and thats something youre always in control of

Thanks for everybody's help with my question

I think personality is soo important. I think that no matter how pyhsically attractive someone is, if they have an ugly personality they will seem ugly.
And with physically ugly people, if they have fantastic, beautiful personalities, they will seem attractive and beautiful.
Personally, if we're talking about purely looks. I don't find skinny girls attractive. I prefer curvy girls if anything, I like the kind of Beyonce, J-Lo body, hehe!

i feel like you aswell email me on carolhmbroadbent@hotmail.co.uk thanks frm carol

im almost 13 and i havent got a bf yet, but ive been sheltered (homeschooled) and so.... but i am bigger shifty 120-140. personally i think im huge! but there have been alot of guys tht have liked me too

Personally, I go for personality... I'm not a guy who would date someone for a social status thing... like dating a cheerleader just to say i was... Or purely based on looks and wanting sex...

I prefer to be in a mutually loving and caring long term relationship... so personality matters most to me... I mean, yes I have physical prefrerences, everyone does right? I'm most attracted to short, skinny girls (petite, you might say)... But...

My last girlfriend was 5'6" and a little overweight... like... 170lbs... But I really loved her personality and how loving she was... (that is, until she dumped me out of nowhere on monday)...

Eh.
My girlfriend is skinny, and I don't really like it.
Why? She looks anorexic. Which triggers the "Oh snap! Friend in trouble" trigger in me, and I don't like it.

I mean, I love her to death, and I would never change a thing on her. Ever. But still. It worries me sometimes, because I've seen her stop eating sometimes, and it just makes me wonder...

Really, if the person only prefers skinny girls, in supplement to personality, they don't deserve any girl, in my opinion.

I know for a fact that all boys dont like skinny girls. I know this one guy who doesnt date girls who are smaller that me and I wear size 18 pants and 1X to 2X shirts. So, there is definately hope for both of us!

I don't think guys only like skinny girls, 'cause all the guys i've dated say they love my curves.
I don't hang out with many skinny girls,most super-skinny girls are really mean to me,so I don't waste my time.

true dat iloveboys. i got a couple friends who are Mexican dudes & a few of them prefer heavier girls over skinny girls.

not all guys prefer skinny girls
