now I'm talking about bigger weight and height wise. I'm 6'4 and 280. and I know a few guys around my size. I'm pretty height to weight proportionate. I know I'm really not unattractive but I've always felt that I'm just kinda limited in my chose because of my size. I would love to drop down to 250 but not much less than that because my body is built to be big.
ok so girls do you like bigger guys? and what else does that guy have to have or do for you to like him.. (and I know the personality answer can sometimes be true but for the most part its complete sh*t)

Most girls will say they do, but I don't know if that is the reality. If the guy looks like he exercises, then I would say that girls would be more interested.

Question Asker See I agree! a lot of girls say oh yea sure.. but in reality they dont. they want a bigger guy with washboard abs and sorry to say big guys like that are hard to find - 23 days ago
Answerer I don't think they want washboard abs. They just don't want dough-boy. It isn't even so much the looks. It is that a dough-boy kind of guy looks like he is not that energetic and that he doesn't have a lot of hobbies. I will be straight with you--lose a few pounds, tone up, and even if you are still a sturdy guy, the girls will be all over you! - 23 days ago
Answerer You don't look like dough-boy by the way. Just realized that it sounds like I am calling you that. - 23 days ago
Question Asker Haha oh I know I need to loose a few pound and well ty I call my self a dough boy so I know what you mean. I do need to get out and exercise and lift weights I was doing a job with heavy lifting and I looked pretty good then but now I've just gotten back to lazy - 23 days ago
Answerer Don't think of the weight so much as the tone. It will make you feel and look so much healthier. A lot of people who were active and then stop being active have the same problem. I'm sure you'll get back on track! - 23 days ago

The biggest thing for me is I like guys who are funny. Do I care about looks? Yes.

I want a guy who can protect me. i.e. not too scrawny where I feel like I have to protect myself. BUT I want the guy to care about his looks- like plays sports or works out- lives an active life.

So would I date a 400 lb guy? probably not- But you look proportionate. You are tall- which is GREAT and 280 for someone that tall seems pretty normal.

Honestly, it really depends on the girl. Everyone has different preferences, as do men. Personally, I'm a short girl, and being with a tall man is always amusing because getting on my tiptoes to kiss them adds for humor but truly, I've dated tall, average, and short guys, and it makes zero difference to me. It's about quality, not quantity.

Question Asker For the most part yes. I fell I'm too big for a small girl your size.. I love women your size maybe with a few extra pounds (about 130 range) but big guys feel like we have to be with the bigger girls. and that's why I asked this Q to find out if that was right or wrong but it seems like to me the girls prefer big guys... now just wish I could find those girls here where I live...lol =D - 10 days ago
Answerer They are out there trust me. I have a friend who is like 5'4' and 100lbs and her boyfriend is 6'5' and 240lbs. but she asked him out and they have been together now for 2 years. - 8 days ago

I am more attracted to bigger guys. I like height, and just a broader frame -- it makes me feel smaller and more comfortable. Most girls I know as well prefer men who are anatomically larger than they are.

Then again - it does varies among individuals somewhat

Big guys who are weight/height proportionate are great. I totally dig them. But if they are out of shape and lethargic, no. If they are fit and muscular (not like a body builder but they have muscle tone) I don't care if they have a little bit of padding on top of the muscle.

I did not understand why you thought personality was B.S. to you? I don't care how good looking a guy is or hot or anything, if he is a jerk with no manners, he is not up for consideration.

Question Asker I like your answer :) and about the personality thing, most instances I have seen or been in the girl has judged the guy on if he's hot and tones not his personality. I know a lot of girls who are with jerks just because they are hot. so for the most part from what I have seen the personality thing has not been true. if it is for you than you are an exception and I hope you stay that way! - 16 days ago
Answerer It has something to do with age (I am in my 40's). In your 20's a lot of girls will put up with crummy guys because of their looks but looks fade and the fit, hot guy stops going to the gym, eating too many cheeseburgers and losing his hair (or any other combination). Then he becomes the non-hot guy with a bad personality. Also girls start wanting more, like a stable guy who will be there for them and they can have children with, not the player. - 15 days ago
Question Asker Yep that is very true. I just wish some how girls would start thinking that far ahead when in their 20's so I don't have to wait till my 30's for them to get their head on straight. - 14 days ago

Im a small girl, 4'11'' and 110lbs, however I love bigger guys. Not over weight, but within healthy/normal range. I do not need a guy with abs of steel, he doesn't have to be a gym nut or a health freak. He just needs to be confident with himself and not lazy. I have never dated a guy smaller then 5'10''. I am generally attracted to guys over 6' and I am totally turned off by skinny guys. I want to feel protected by my man.

A guy I REALLY like is around ur size, maybe a little lighter, he looks good to me, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" Some guys wouldn't look good skinny, I know he wouldn't, he looks good because he's thicker. It just depends on the guy, if you look good ur size then don't let a number hold you back, if you look like you need to lose weight, then loze weight. My guy wouldn't be the same if he where buff or skinny, and I know I'm not the only one who thinks that, when I introduce him to my girl friends they always comment to me afterward how he looks good. peoples bodies are different, as you said, I don't think I would look good if I were as skinny as some girls, I'm big boned, or big framed, wutever, I'm not overweight, and I know I don't look bad because when I tell people how much I weigh (I really don't care, it's just a number) they are always like, no way, you look 20 lbs lighter. so wutever, you can look good big, or bigger than most, you are unique.

See, I never thought of it as liking fat vs thin. What I mean is people act like there is only fat or thin. And you are attracted to one and not the other. I don't believe that. I know guys who only dated thin girls but admitted that if they liked a girl who was bigger, they would date her with no problem. Or you may only date white girls but if you saw a black girl who was a great person, you would have no problem dating her.

I'm like that with guys. I have never looked at a big guy and not been attracted to him cause of his weight. But I've never ended up with a big guy. But the weight is never a turn off. I have fantasized about being with a big guy but I have never met one who I was attracted to their personality. That does mean they have bad personalities, I just mean the guys I knew who happened to be big, who they were or what they were into, didn't interest me. Just like with some thinner guys.

One of my friends only dates big guys. Some are thick, some just fat. But she likes feeling "protected" and likes that in a big guy.

I think we all act like we have an 'ideal" but I don't think I've ever dated anyone who looked like what I'd say my ideal is. They were really good looking guys but just not what I would say is my cut and dry ideal. Cause honestly, most people really do fall for the person. And in anyone you fall for, there is usually one or two things physically that aren't the ideal. But you care so much about the person those things don't matter.

So I just think it's a matter of, if you don't typical flock to something, like a bigger person, you can still fall for that person.

I would never think twice about being with a big guy if I liked him as a person.

just because a guys got abs and super fit doesn't mean he'd get more woman.. if anything he's super into himself and concieted while bigger guys tend to be sweeter! in my opinion ofcourse.

also.. why care what a girls preference is, a girl will fall for a guy who is himself! and there's someone right for everyone, by your description I tihnk you would have to stay the way you are cause skinny would be hideous.

Truthfully: I go on personality. If I have fun with the guy, if he is someone I can just hang out with in my pjs with. Or go to the batting cage with. I love for a guy to have a sence of humor that will care for me, you know someone I can rely on.


I am from the South so the guys I have dated were bigger, and taller than me. I don't want a bean pole. I want someone that I feel can protect me. I love that. I am 5'4 so I have dated guys who have been 6 foot and up.

I think it just depends on the kind of girl you are try to be with. I'm not a stickler on a guys size. I'm pretty petite myself and fairly athletic so pretty much most people are larger than me, lol. I'm the lame girl who goes more for personality type, lol, and mine is pretty out there so I can either run ya off or pull ya in. Looks fad so they aren't top priority. I've dated guys from super skinny to heavier, conservative to heavily tattooed. As long as you have self confidence.

I went to high school with guys that averaged 6'-6'7 and almost always 200+ pounds (or more depending on how tall they were). I've always been partial to the "teddy bear" kinda guys (As I've nicknamed you fellas). As long as the guy is healthy, I don't mind at all. If anything, I feel incredibly safe and secure when I hug them.

Judging from your face shot, you look healthy. Be confident in yourself and your body, and a girl is going to pick up on that. We want to be with a guy who is confident, whether he's 160, 260, or even 360 pounds.

It means he doesn't really care much about his health and is pretty lazy. Again, that's just my opinion. I am pretty fit myself and love being active.

Honestly, I like bigger guys, that is if (like you said) they are weight-height proportionate. Some guys look better as a bigger guy than smaller. I don't really care what others care about him, but as long as he's attractive to me.

What does a guy have to have? hmmm, well that list can get pretty long. He has to be an all around nice guy who everybody loves, and is respectful towards the ladies. I have to feel safe and comfortable around him. He has to have somewhat of a sense of humor. I have to be able to have fun with him.

I know everyone says that but tis true. have a great sense of humor and be a gentleman! hope that helps:)

It all depends on the girl. You can jump through hoops all you want to try to get a certain girl, but when it comes down to it, it's about her. Is she willing to go against the norm of "a man has to have a six-pack to be attractive." I wouldn't have a second thought of dating someone your size, and I find myself to be a very attractive, successful person, both inside and out. Perhaps its the "grab the bull by the horns" personality that I have, I couldn't care less what someone looks like, or what outsiders think of me, if there's chemistry, I'd go for it. I bet your just surrounded by girls who are self-centered, and think they're holier-than-thou. Just have confidence. You can look like you just crawled out of bed, but if you have confidence next to a typical "hot" guy who has none, the girls are going to be looking at you for sure. Just remember that you can get anyone you want, if they don't want you, their loss. They missed out on you, and you can happily move onto the next.

Maybe the girl for you is right in front of you but you just havnt realized it yet. Loosing a little bit of weight may help but maybe a change of cloths or hair cut or something of that sort. I'm very paticular when it comes to guys cloths hair teeth & shoes...it don't matter much to me about weight. I hope this helps. good luck

Some do, some dont.

I used to weigh about 140lbs at 6'5", bulked up over several years to 260lbs.. a lot of people said I was too big. I'm around 210lbs now.. I'd like to tone up just a bit more then hold that weight. It's on the slim side given my height but its a weight I'm happy at.

The protective thing works well, unless you're cocky and aggressive with it. Protective, confident and calm seems to be the way to go. Plus show your girl you're confident and strong with the world but you still need her, it's ok for her to know you're a softie but don't tell the whole world lol.
