I'm a big girl [size 11/13] and I want to get to know more guys but I feel like my size is holding me back. Obviously I'm gonna lose weight, but what should I do in the meantime? I never flirt w guys bc most guys don't like fat girls so I'm like what would be the point if I'm considered unattractive anyway. Should I be more open and try to meet new guys or just wait until I'm thin? *honest answers please I can take the truth*
It all depend on your height. 5ft and 6 ft in size 11/13 make a different. BTW, men dun like skinny women anyways. Trust me there is nothing worse then a guys who stand short. It took me years to over come it. I am 5'6" and I am fine dating taller women now. When you learn to work with what you have luck will follow.
Yeah, I'll be brutally honest just because a lot of people can't do it just spare feelings. Most guys just aren't into bigger girls and while as a female, I can tell you size 11/13 isn't that large. To guys, especially shallow ones, it's huge. So, most guys won't really respond to your flirting, they won't insult you or anything cruel but they won't really pay attention to your advances.
Who would a typical male in our age group prefer to have flirt with them:
The chunky girl with the cute face or the hot, thin girl? Yes, we know the answer to that one! The hot girl.
Oh and before everyone gangs up on me for being honest let me give you a back story:
I used to be overweight myself. My sizes would vary constantly throughout jr high and high school, I could be a size 11 for months then go up to a 16 then down to a 13 and up again. My weight would fluctuate between 170-200lbs. By college I just got tired of it and decided to take control and stop the fluctuations with proper eating and exercise. I did it for me and today I'm a healthy 126lbs and a size 4. I can happily say I've maintained this weight for a few years.
With that said. I never was an ugly girl, everyone would always comment on what a pretty FACE I had but guys never really paid attention to me. I had guy friends but did any guys ever respond to my flirting? Nah. They always went for the thinner girls. Today, as a thin girl I have noticed how that has changed. Guys pay attention to me, guys actually want to go out with me and I get hit on a lot.
So my answer from experience is that most guys want thin girls but don't let that hold you back. Whatever you decide to do, do it for yourself and not solely for guys.
Thanks for your answer. I appreciate everyones responses but I think this is more true to life - skinny girls do attract more guys. I just wanted to know that I wouldn't get shut down and embarrassed! - 8 months ago
I know these responses were a bit ago, but I can't help but comment again, as many here have - if you're 5"8 and a size 11/13 - YOU ARE NOT A BIG GIRL! if you are a more or less constant weight, proportioned features and, above all, healthy - be confident in yourself - that's what attracts people to you! - 3 months ago
Whoa, size 11/13 is not fat, girl! The average American woman is something like 5'4 and a size 14! It's definitely not as big as you could be, so don't be so hard on yourself.
I'm a similar clothes size and all I can say is just focus on being happy and healthy. You can message me if you need someone to talk to about this.
If a guy really does like you, he'll look past your size, -whatever- it is, and approach you anyways!
Honest answer: I am very conscious of my weight as well. I have been overweight ever since high school, and I used to feel the same way you feel about dating guys. As a woman, I tried to lose weight to attract men, but some way I would fall off the bandwagon. First, take it from me, don't ever lose weight to attract men! You will never be satisfied. I've tried that. Then it would be something else that you would need to fix. Lose weight for your health and not for attraction. Second, believe it or not, some attractive men are attracted to plus size females. There are men who are more attracted to one's confidence than their size. As a plus-size female, until you lose weight, be confident, dress your best, and love yourself! Just because you're overweight doesn't mean you can't be or feel sexy. I am larger than you, but I feel and look good! I am attractive and men are interested in me. So, it's okay to want to lose, but don't wait until you're thin to become interested in men. What if you don't lose weight and be healthy in your time frame? You would have wasted so much time, and an interested partner would have passed you by! I know---been there and done that too! Be confident, love yourself, and dress to impress! Good luck.
While it's really easy to answer, "Oh, just be yourself and guys will like you", we all live in the real world and know that is not always true. So, this is what I've found for certain...For kicks, I'll wear totally different outfits to bars/clubs and I absolutely get more attention in the skimpier gear - from (mostly) shallow guys thinking with their manhood and talking out of their ass.
I've also had black hair, brown hair, blonde hair and red hair - I get more attention with blonde (from everyone).
I've been stick thin and pretty plump - same amount of attention (no lie). Ironically, when I was very thin, I'd get more, "Are you on drugs?" questions than I would compliments.
But, I get THE MOST attention (ie, guys introducing themselves and striking up conversations) when I'm having fun. Laughing, smiling, outgoing, smart and sassy - those characteristics do seem to attract the most attention regardless of how much I weigh, what I'm wearing or any other physical trait.
I've seen the same with my friends, of all shapes and sizes (and genders, actually).
Go ahead and talk to them now. Lose weight if it's healthy to do so but don't let it bother you in the present. Wear clothes that flatter your body type, put on a smile and get your FLIRT on!
