Why do some people think being a bigger girl is a turn off? I have read many women feel that big equals ugly and some men write cruel comments. I am a big girl and I find myself to be very attractive and I am also healthy. Men I know don't complain about my weight either ; )

I'll be honest because I'm guessing you want the truth and not BS. Sometimes, bigger girls are sexy. They are nice to cuddle with because they feel so soft against you. However other constraints for beauty still apply. You have to have good hygiene, you have to have a pretty face, and if you're going to be a big girl you should probably have big breast and a big ass too. If you don't have those qualities...work on being a good person on the inside and hope someone notices.
Are you working the corner? I love fat black women especaily becuase they don't throw me through the wall.. only those white trash 500 pound white girls do.. waiiittt... did you say your overweight? sorryy.. I take that back... your probably on the subway diet huh? doy uo own a hoverround? shammeee on yoo... bitch, your supposed to walk there,not get a ride.. it takes more to power that chair than to eat.. what do you rder anyways, a McDouble ina subway bag? cover it up? hide the pickles and lettuce of to the side in the napkins..are you one of those girls who acts liek she's throwing something away, but takes 5 more bites? 6 bites? 12 bites? do you do you find yourself craving for a $5 foot,long... go to www.peopleofwalmart.com.. you'll find them all over..
Nothing wrong with a big girl. People judge people based on weight cause there immature and shallow people. They judge people based on stupid stuff like that to make themselves feel big. So who cares hat they think.
I honestly prefer "plus-sized" women, and it's a travesty how they're portrayed in the media. From what I can see of your picture, you're quite attractive ^^
"Why do some people think being a bigger girl is a turn off?" why do some people thing bigger women are a turn on? beauty is all in the eye of the beholder.
The sad part is the people who don't like big women are very vocal and they beleive they have the right to put you down for being a big woman or being a guy that likes bigger women. I happen to be a guy that appreciates the beauty in all female body types. I tend to be partial on big curves though. The new vanacular term for these women is BBW (big beautiful women) and I happen to be a fan of BBW's.
I also enjoy slender women but there is a limit on how thin just as there is a limit on how big and that is ALL PERSONAL PREFERENCE.
To answer your question as to why some people find bigger women a turn off... I couldn't say, I can't imagine why they would be turned off...thats just me... I think they are crazy. :-)
Don't worry about it shut it works like that for both sexes men and women I'm big I just say more to love and with that confidants I found myself a nice Latina girl. So thing are how confident you feel but don't go to over confident with make up and bling and other thing then your saying ether I'm ez, I'm better then you, and thing like that. Like I say with confidants and just met some one you mite like. My sis she's 22 not that big now she said I want a boyfriend 2 week on diet water with lemon and nothing else just watch what you eat started in a chat room then messenger and now she's with a nice guy and she worked hard for that and I'm proud of her only it took her longer then me I'm 16 I have a girl she 22 and just started but she didn't want to start right away so 22 good age. But of course I'm a male we just need to jump in young but girls can start when ever ok just don't worry about ok don't matter if you big hey you beautiful to me ok I don't know you never met you but you are beautiful ok just keep trying ok. hope it helps ok just remember your special
Nothing is wrong with a big girl to me. Just like any other female as long as she keeps herself up and has that confidence about her she is sexy to me. Weight doesn't determine if I find someone attractive or not
As long as the woman is not too big,then we good to go.Some big woman can be so cute like a tear bear that you wanna bring home to mom(Hold tight to those ones) and some are just a totally turn off.
I've met a few big girls who I found quite attractive. But the majority of big girls I run into, turn me off as soon as I look at them. I can't see myself being with someone who is an immediate turn off when I look at her.
Sexually, I have a very hard time getting "excited" about a big girl, and I would be afraid of becoming intimate with one and then not being able to "get it up" enough. I don't know why, but that's how it is for me. I seems that for some guys, "bigger" girls present no problem at all in that area. I think it has to do with physiology, genetics, maybe even how you were raised, environmental factors, etc.
I don't understand why you posted this anon. what's the big deal? you don't like bigger women and you have every right to like or dislike something. You don't like big girls, that's ok bud. No need for secrecy lol. I'll still give you a green arrow up for honesty though. - A month ago
I wish that were so...the man I almost married last year broke up with me because he eventually said that he was unattracted to me because of how overweight I was ( I am currently about 65 pounds thinner that I was then)...scared to death that guys are still going to dump me 5 months in because I am still too fat to be deemed attractive... - A month ago
That makes zero sense Meinwest, how could he be in a relationship with you if he found you "so unattractive" in the first place. I am not challenging your story, I am challenging your former lovers sanity, he doesn't make sense at all. - A month ago
the body is the last thing I look at, I don't care what you look like - your heart and soul (as I've said on many topics tonight] is what matters most, you have no respect for yourself or others then your unattractive. My the picture I see your beautiful but I'm only one man.
I wish you the best of responses to your question(s), cheers mate.
i think that some big girls are sexy but I wouldn't date them, I don't know why tho but on the whole I think that most of of big women don't take care of themselves, I see them eating a lot of fast food while saying there drinking a diet coke so they are making progress. I'm not trying to judge anybody but that just my opinion
I think a lot of bigger girls are attractive. I find it a turn on sexually. To put it crudely more cushion for the pushin. I feel like a woman should feel soft to hold. Plus I think a curvy full figure is hot and very healthy looking too. Really obese honestly is a turn off, you can't even make out a figure anymore and it shows a person who is unhealthy with self control issues. I guess different people draw the line between obesity and healthy different places. A lot of the stick figure girls and celebrities don't do anything for me. Like If a genie showed up there are a 100 girls I meet at the store on the bus or cleaning hotel that I would wish to "get lucky with" before Lindsey Lohan or Paris Hilton. somethign about curvy soft a round face long hair just makes me melt. Really skinny girls who think they're hot stuff make me feel nervous not relaxed. They got sharp bones and they tend to have sharp prickly personalities
I would rather see a woman who is a little to big than a girl who is way to skinny. If you are 25 pounds over what you should be than you will probably be sexier to me than the girl who is under what she should be. I don't get that about american men this skin and bones thing I find nasty.
On the other hand if you are 30+ pounds overweight you are letting yourself go way to far. It more comes down to not being attracted to the person who isn't willing to take care of there body if you are that heavy you really aren't taking care of yourself the way you should and I don't find that attractive at all.
All that is about how I feel about seeing people on the street. Who I would date, I can't feel like I am settling on anyone who I don't find beautiful. You can make up for looks with a good personality to a point but in the end I don't want to be looking around wondering what I missed. I want to love who I'm with.
Again if you are overweight and it is unattractive it's because it will lead to health issues or has already caused and your to lazy to do anything about it.
Define big. Because I went on a date with a girl who said she was a bbw. I'm not really into big girls, but I met her on craigslist and she was nice. So I said I would meet her. I was stunned when I got to the cafe. She was tall, thick, sure a bit chubby, but she was normal to me. And cute. Not what I would call a bbw at all.
A girl who is six feet tall (or more) and is height/weight proportional might qualify as "big".
Tall and proportionate are characteristics that fall within the wide spectrum of what I find attractive.
If by "big" you mean obese... let's say someone whose body/mass index exceeds 20%, I might find find her "cute", "fun", etc., but not sexually attractive.
Not sure if you are aware, but a healthy BMI for a woman ranges from around 18.5 to 24.9, and most dieticians recommend right around the 20 -24 range, since a certain amount of fat is healthy and required for having a period and reproduction, functioning with good brain health, etc etc. Some women are thin and maybe considered "attractive" by a man's standards, yet have too low of BMI to even bear a child! - A month ago

I was crushing a little on this french woman in my gym who was very over weight, but she had eyes and a smile and a voice... mmmmmmmmmmm. Too bad she moved back to Nancy (it's a small city in France)...
Where was I?
It's not about the weight, but rather how you carry it. The girl I'm seeing is "overweight". She's got a bit of a tummy. But you know what? I love her body. Her skin is so beautiful and soft, I wish I had extra hands to feel it more.
And she turns me on like a light switch. Seriously.
Don't get me wrong, what attracted me to her was her personality. In some ways, we have eerily the same "things" about us... and that's just the laws of attraction. But I think I'm the king of all men when I'm with her, and really, what guy shouldn't feel that way when they're with someone.
I would also like to reiterate the genetic coding argument of Mr. Noricat, that is scientific fact. It's the definition of what we feel is important in finding a good 'mate'. I'm just coded to have intellect mean more. Go figure.
The reason I said that is I did have a woman who was at least 20lbs overweight (fat) on top of me, Cowgirl, and when she was done I thought I had a damn hernia. I was in pain for about six weeks. Nope, I'll never again have a fat girl on top of me. - 2 months ago
Not to seem deffensive or anything, but I am actually 25 pounds overweight, and I can't imagine that I should need to be afraid of causing a man to have a hernia when I am on top of him...idk, I don't think I seem like a whale, or "fat" for that matter, just curvy....but anyways, that's just my thought. - A month ago

Oh, it's you, Melnwest, for one with such big boobs an exception could always be made for you. :-) After, it appears although the Asker invited all opinions many gave mine many thumbs down. I'll tell that I had a 70" woman (I'm 5'5", love tall girls) on top of me who claimed she weighed 180tbs. You wouldn't know it by looking at her. If she was really that fat I wouldn't have gotten naked with her. She was (is) proportionate and didn't look like she should be skipping breakfast and dinner - A month ago
Big in and of itself doesn't equate to ugly, there have been some big girls with really cute faces and some with awesome personalities or both.
But at the same time I have to be bluntly honest, I am a young fit guy and I prefer young fit girls.
Partly its due to genetics, I am programmed to find fit young women attractive and desirable, that is just something I have utterly no control over and so I kinda have to smile and shrug it off when people call that shallow or whatever. Its nature, study for a Phd in genetics and go into human genome research if its that big a problem, maybe you can cure mankind of its biological programming.
The other part is just down to respect. A woman who looks good and takes care of her appearance is much more desirable to me than one who doesn't. Obesity is not some insurmountable thing, it is entirely within a persons control (30 years is hardly enough time for genetic obesity to spread through the western world like a wildfire, and no, its impossible for everyone's glands to go "funny") and so a woman who is reasonable fit is one who respects herself enough to look good and feel good, and that helps me feel good when someone who regards themselves that highly approves of me.
If your happy with your weight, awesome, if not, lose it.
big does not = ugly by and means, I have met some really cute big girls, have met some big girls with rocken personality's, but I just can't date someone I'm not physically attracted to.
I really don't have a problem with big girls. I think that girls come in all shapes, sizes and colors and that all of them are beautiful in thier own way. Besides that if a girl shows interest in me and can accept me for the way I am, then I can certainly accept her for the way she is. I have been with slender women, and bigger girls and I can honestly say that size had nothing to do with how much we enjoyed each others company.
My honest opinion: I've found it hard to be sexually attracted to girls who are "big", I tend to lean towards girls who are kind of slim. (Remember, I'm only talking about sexual attraction--personality is just as, if not more important.) But I like to believe I'm an open-minded person, and if I were to meet a bigger girl with a fantastic smile and an amazing personality, that would change my perception of her most likely, and it's possible I could become physically attracted to her. I think it's important for me--and any person--to be open to possibilities like that.
well let me just say. being skinny girl sucks. because you don't know if they like you or just want to do you. you have the right attitude if you like how you are then your good. a lot of deeper feeling guys love women for there personality. because a super modle body comes with a brat personality.
Hey I don't think big people are a turn off. If I like you I like you... I see the true beauty on the inside of the person.. People who act like that are just crazy and stupid.. they have no idea..Looking at your picture you are very attractive...I wouldn't worry about anything they say...You are beautiful. I would rather be with a person for who they are rather than what they look like.. Just because your pretty and slim today doesn't mean in a month or two you won't have changes in your body or etc. My advice, just keep being you and f*** the haters..
To me I'm not concerned with what her weight is in terms of a number or in sync with what her height is, its about how she looks. Their are big girls that are curvy and their bodies are just proportinate and they look great and their are some big girls that just carry all the weight in one place and to me that can be a turn off.
The ones who are happy about it and don't mind. I'm fine with those.
The ones that are super insecure and blame their fat on everything but don't do sh*t about it. I hate those.
When I say 'I'm fine" with them that doesn't mean I will date them, I have a preference for small, light girls, mainly because I can have more fun with them in bed. So all the girls I usually sleep with are between 1.57 and 1.65 metre and weigh around the 50-55 kg.
I have slept with girls taller then then me and also with heavier girls but those we're only one night stands and I wouldn't date them or have sex with them repeatedly.
Overall I'd say that if you lose weight you'd attract a bigger crowd of men and have more of a choice when picking out partners but if you are fine with what you have now and with the men you attract now, by all means, stay like that.
OMGOSH! What kind of comment is that supposed to be?! Not a very good one. Way to be Sincere and Comforting..?! Hello, we really don't give a living hound dog who you slept with and what her weight or height is. That's not what the meaning of love is, the meaning of love is Trust, Hope, Support, Loyal, that kind of stuff. Of course, you probably WOULDN'T know what all that is, since your just a BIG UGLY JERK who only cares about who the heck he slept with! Gosh, can we be anymore of a jerkoff?! - 2 months ago

I don't find what I said insulting, I just give my opinion and don't make honey versions of it to please people that believe in fairy tales. The only thing I said is that you will have a bigger pick of men in general and instead of just settling for someone, you can get a better match. This is not just my opinion, most guys think like this but will refrain from saying so to avoid be called a superficial jerk. I other hand can handle that :p - 2 months ago
True, but you know, not all big girls 'just settle for' someone, and not all skinny girls can have anyone they want. And there are definitely guys out there who prefer bigger girls too.
But yeah, like you said, that's your honest opinion. Kudos for not sugar-coating it =] - 2 months ago
That is probably more to the point. As a girl who is an aus size 12, which would be about an american size 6, I feel comfortable about my looks because I eat healthily and excercise regularly. Yet still I have boobs, bum, thighs, and most certainly don't have a washboard stomach. The reality is that health should be more important than the physicality of someone. - 2 months ago
A big girl who loves her body is so much more attractive than a thin one who hates hers. Personally, I weigh 120 so like I probably wouldn't date some one much bigger than me but that is just for compatibility reasons. I still find heavy set girls attractive but its all in the attitude, and their face!
Dude either your a midget or really young. I was like 120 in jr high. But your point is well taken. Sexy and confident comes in all sizes. I hate how the media portrays only one size as sexy/attractive. Its b.s. - 2 months ago

I am not a midget but I am pretty small for bein 21. I'm only 5'6 with a good pair of shoes. - 2 months ago
I've been with big women and I've been with little women. But as I'm only 5'5" and weigh 166lbs as an "athletic" body I find sex is limited with women who weigh more than I do at my height. And that's just how I look at it. I don't date or sleep with women who weigh more than I do if they are my height or shorter.
On the same token, I slept with a very skinny woman just a few days ago, and she moved around way too much for my liking. Her ass was also very boney when I came into contact with it.
Moral of the story... You really can't judge women by size, but like everything in life, we're allowed to have preferences about everything we WANT.
Guys, as a class, doesn't really exist. Some guys like big women, some don't. I suggest listening to the former and ignoring the latter. I personally love strong tall women but some guys find them intimidating.
Girls who are fluffy or plump or curvy are wanted these days. It's the girls who let themselves go and it shows greatly that give girls who are bigger a bad name. I am a big chick who is toning down. I am still plump, but guess what, I still get treated the same as a skinny chick if not better. Most the guys I talked to hate skinny chicks because there's nothing there...not even a butt. So ladies who are plump and fluff, show your curves and love it. It doesn't matter what they think, if it's negative, brush it off, the just can't handle it. But if they are positive, bathe in it and show your pride :)
Firstly, bigger girls ARE NOT TURN OFFS. Come on, everyone is built in a different way. What you read is most probably a negative effect of the media trying to make girls become what they’re not. Media is meant to create a need for us and so, we should not be affected by this.
Bigger girls can be beautiful, because women come in all sorts of different sizes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Personally I've found that men like women who have a little extra somethin'-somethin' in her butt and boobs, but still keeps the hourglass figure... just bigger than is seen on billboards. From personal experience, they are not into girls who have a bit of tummy
I think you rock! If we all had that kind of attitude, I think the amount of hate in the world would decrease a lot. Women spend so much time disliking themselves not matter what they look like.
Guys are starting to appreciate more females with curves now. Especially to be attractive too. Some skinny women are wishing they had curves and some bigger women are wishing they were smaller. I think we were all made the way we are for a reason.It makes us all unique and different to have so many shapes and sizes.Its just important to take care of yourself because when you don't I can understant how that can be unattractive.
Well hello there mrs. bitch. You can call it fat all you want. Me being a bigger girl myself yeah I'm over wieght but I exersize and I'm healthy! Yes I got an ass yes I got big boobs and YES I HAVE CURVES! You kno what I love myself to the fullest because I don't have the body of a 10 year old boy. Call it "FAT" and I call you jealous because your probably some self-loathing pitiful excuse for a woman. - A month ago
Some people may just not consideer you attractive at first, but that can change. I'm not saying it always will, but it can. It's all in how you presesnt yourself; physically, mentally, and verbally. Overall though, size seems to make a difference to a lot of people, but the person that you are meant to be with will see so much more and KNOW you're beautiful (even if he doesn't think so right off the bat).
Big does not equal ugly. And thin does not equal pretty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so really, I think it's rational to say that for some people you'd be the ugliest person in the world while for others the most beautiful. If you take care of yourself, have a healthy self-esteem and so on, I don't think that your weight should be a problem for anybody. Honestly I think most big girls complain about big = ugly (or generally girls complaining about themselves) because they don't accept themselves and are full of self-loathing. If you hate yourself it's visible and attracts attention. You have to accept yourself and be happy in your own skin, and then other people see it and don't make any big deal of your weight, hair color, teeth or whatever, and more people find you attractive. Everything is in our minds, girls. Of course there are guys who are just not attracted to big girls, but then again, does every guy love blondes with big t*ts?
i think the media is to blame for that one i have a friend who is overweight and she's attractive in her own way-she's had a hell lot more boyfriends than I have (for different reasons) but I believe people can be beautiful if they're a different weight.
Im a big girl and I am insecure about myself, many times I feel unpretty but I don't do anything differently to change it so I settle for what it is. IRDC and I dontsee it as an issue much I love myself either way
Well; this is a hot topic right now. The honest answer is this - if you are truly hot, it simply doesn't matter what size you are. Men will flock to your door.
BUT.
There are loads of overweight women out there who think they are hot who aren't. Face it; if you are carrying more weight than you should, it is simply not attractive to most people.
We seem to have lost perspective on such things; we only ever see images of seriously fat people or seriously skinny people...somewhere in the middle is the place we probably should be.
Fat is not attractive to most men; you need to sit down, take a good hard look at the scales - and the mirror! - and decide: do I need to lose weight to get to a HEALTHY weight, or do I buy the hype and simply believe that being overweight or obese is acceptable because there are now so many overweight/obese people in society
Your call.
Not our problem if you don't believe that most men find fat ugly. And BTW - they find skinny ugly too...
I used to be "big" but I slimmed down. The extremely skinny girls are a turnoff, and the 350+lbs girls are too much of an inconvinience. If you weigh between 100 - 300lbs you can be, and are beautiful. - 2 months ago
Its like this...Guys are a little crazy sometimes its like if you are big and ugly they call you fat if you are big a really beautiful its your extra thick chubby or healthy lol I think its all about what they see and what they want. The world needs variety to survive all men don't like thin girls some like them thick with an ass some like t*ts some like pretty faces some like tall some like short some like no ass and no t*ts. That's why you should always be happy with what you got because there is some awesome man somewhere who is looking for exactly what your working with lol. I know one thing that men love that every woman has got...Need I say more?
This whole "big is ugly" crap is ridiculous! Unfortunately people decide that because the media tells us that thin-is-in that you have to be anorexic to be beautiful. Healthy is beautiful. Don't let stupid people tell you that you have to be a size 0 to be sexy because it isn't true. Confidence and personality are sexy... and I also think curves are sexy. I've always seen skinny girls as weirdly frail... plus how in the world are they going to be able to get babies out of their tiny bodies?! Nevertheless, everyone has different opinions about sexy but I say the curvier the better.
I don't think big = ugly! I never understood people who thought that. I think facial features and overall looks make you ugly not simply weight. I have seen very attractive women that are overweight and honestly I think women have an advantage that they look better overweight than men do. I think some big guys are hot as long as they are tall and have a large build, but not fat and sloppy. I saw this big redneck cornfed looking guy the other day that had to be like 6'3 and was huge I mean his wrist was like my neck but I thought he was sooo sexy
Okay sorry to go off on a tangent lol
I am a big girl myself. To describe myself better, I'm 5'6 I have a medium/large build and I'm not really an hourglass..more of an apple/ruler I guess but I have big boobs. I've been a size 8 (not really skinny but I looked thin at this size) and I've been a size 20. The way I got treated at a size 20 was ridiculous..people were rude to me, dismissive, I used to get fat comments and strange people yelling all sorts of mean things to me just because of my weight. At a size 8 guys would kiss my ass, pay for my stuff, give me discounts, always got attention, etc. So this leads me to believe most guys don't like big girls. I have been on both sides and I've seen it. I've also seen how my friends get treated (skinny, thick, fat ones) and I can tell. People look at fat people like second class citizens.
I think the most significant aspect of weight deals with activity level. I think we should be with people on the same activity level or comparable. I am a little overweight according to medical guidelines (5-10 pounds) but I love being active. I am not thin and some men might perceive that as unattractive.
I tend to be attracted to men that are bigger than I am so a guy that is over 6 foot and around 190-200 pounds but that attraction is short lived if he sits on the couch all day or can't handle a camping trip or hike. On the same turn, I wouldn't expect a marathon runner or avid triathlon dude to keep an attraction with me because I am SO NOT THERE.
It comes down (to me) to internally being attracted to the compatible partner. Unfortunately first perceptions may not be accurate. Bigger women have the potential of being healthy and even more fit than a given smaller woman but you can't tell from first perception.
That is where getting to know someone comes into play. It sucks, but that is what needs to happen. Wade through the rude individuals who show you how ugly they are through what they say and just continue showing the real you. There are men out there that will be attracted to that!
I think it's all up to personal taste. I personally like bigger guys. I like feeling engulped in their arms. I struggle with my weight, I'm usually very insecure about it. I used to always be the tiny petite girl, but after surgery and tons of steriods I gained 50lbs. I didn't know how to wear this weight, but now I come to accept that it's who I am. As long as you love yourself and healthy, you are beautiful! The only thing that's a turn off is if you are unhealthy eating junk all the time borderline diabetic, and you don't do anything about it! That's when its a turn off, cause that just shows you don't care about yourself.
I hate the "Hollywood" image people put out. And, unfortunately, many people follow this image. Especially women and other women pushing it on others. I struggled with anorexia because of this stupid image. I was able to recover with the help of my family and husband and am now a very healthy weight :) Besides gaining because of the baby of course. I'm not super skinny and I'm not overweight. But I am definitely not the "Hollywood" image either.
I think some people it's just preference. Some men like women with long, dark hair. Some men like women with short light hair. Weight can be a preference too. My husband doesn't like extremely skinny girls, but doesn't want overweight either. He wants his woman to have curves, which I have plenty of lol.
I agree with that. I dated a bigger guy and his lifestyle was all food and watching TV. Not into it. I'm by no means skinny in fact I'm quite curvy. But I'm way active. And I like someone who can keep up with me and focus on something other than food. - 2 months ago
As long as you have confidence and you believe that you are pretty,then weight doesn't matter. All the guys who think weight is a issue they are crazy and I would tell them that they can suck it! That's just my opinion :)
I think that you are an incredible person, and I wish that I could have the confidence and love for myself that you seem to have! I do think that guys that only go for skinny girls are shallow and not worth the trouble anyways, because it should be what's on the inside that counts, but not gonna lie I tend to be a very self consious and insecure person when it comes to my appearance. You are amazing!

It's really all a matter of preference. I'm a recovering bulimic and even as someone who wanted to be really skinny, I never thought everyone else should be skinny. I do think that different people's shapes suit different sizes (by which I mean, some people look better fat and some people look better skinny etc) but even that is in my opinion. For me personally I hate being anything but small... but if I encountered someone size 20 or something, I'm not gonna think they're ugly if it suits them. The only thing that bothers me about some people (my mother being a good example) is when they say 'oh I'm so fat, I hate being so fat, I wish I could lose weight,' but then they go eat sh*tty junk food and joke around like 'I'll start my diet tomorrow ;)' which is really stupid because if you seriously wanted to lose weight you wouldn't joke about it... anyway I digress. That's the only thing that annoys me about some fat people. In the end, it's being happy and healthy that counts.

No probs =] and thank you. I thought I should maybe also explain my use of the word 'fat' since most people seem to steer clear of it... fat is a type of tissue, just like skin it. When you say skinny, you mean having lots of skin tissue (in proportion to the fat/muscle/etc anyway) and when you say fat, you mean having lots of fat tissue. People use it as an insult, to be honest I think it's a neutral describing term and it being good or bad is a matter of opinion. - 2 months ago
As long as you are healthy is the important thing..some pple are bigger and unhealthy (they usually look it too) so I guess that's why some people. Think its a turn off...so as long as your healthy and YOU find yourself attractive that's all that's important =)
it all goes down to personal taste, some guys like thin girls, others like bigger girls... personally I quite like skinny guys but I don't have anything against big guys and to be honest, looking at your pics you look happy and beautiful, and its how you feel about yourself that counts :)
Most of the bigger girls I know all seem to exude such inner confidence. I wish that I could mirror this and it's something so admirable. How do you do this? I am asking this with all seriousness. I mean, if I gain 5 or 10 lbs, forget it, my self confidence tanks and I don't look in the mirror.
Guys tend to be drawn to confidence and girls who are fun to be around. The guys I have been around are not impeded by weight at all. In my experience, the younger guys (18-20's) tend to focus on this more as well as physical appearance.
My mother always told me, "You have to love yourself." I also strongly believe that inside beauty=outer beauty. Have you read Maya Angelou's Phenomenal Woman? It is the best. Every women should and it helps in rough stops : ) http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/phenomenal-woman/ - 2 months ago
I think you've got the right attitude about it. Your finding yourself attractive makes a huge difference in how others perceive you. Keep up the confidence and I honestly don't think you'll have a problem. :)
