I'm about 185-190 pounds... and I'm not ugly but I feel like sometimes my weight gets in the way of people feeling attracted 2 me...
Update: ok-- more details 4 the people who are jumping to conclusions. I'm big-- yeah I understand its unhealthy-- I'm not big because I eat too much, I actually eat really healthy. I'm big because of the medicine I take 4 my asthma.

Update: and another thing ppl

right no offence sweetie but forget all these other twats... you are beautiful no matter what. you just need to wait for the right guy to come along. if I knew you well enough I would ask you out. size doesn't matter... its personality. dont ever let anyone tell you that you are not beautiful. they will be lying. you're attractive. i see you as perfection. so look... just wait for that right guy and I am sure he will turn up. XcameronX
Depends who you want to get attracted to you... if your going for guys that are fit and really really take care of themselves.... well they want someone that can take care of themselves to........ ill be honest, I wouldn't date you because of it because I know I can get another girl that is skinner.... that doesn't make me shallow, because believe it or not.... looks DO matter.... and unless you really want those hot guys, loose the weight, take care of yourself better - 18 days ago

Some guys like larger women. You don't seem ugly - you have nice long hair, pretty eyes and lips, though ugly =/= unattractive.
If however you dress right for you size, be feminine/sweet/non-abrasive (this includes attitude, body language and how you have your hair and makeup), you'll stand half a chance of bagging a guy.
You may need to move things along to make him infactuated. Touch his arm, stroke his ego, be flirtatious and sexy. Make it known to him you want him. Being shy/coy will get you NOWHERE.
Just don't do it to too many guys too quickly or you'll get some nasty nicknames.
PS Losing 10-20 pounds would do wonders for you. I appreciate your medication isn't helping. Tell your doctor about it, you might get something to help. Also, take up something like swimming or even yoga (yes, yoga - you burn about 300 kcal per hour) - it woun't hurt lungs doing it nearly as much as other sports, but can really help shift the weight, build up muscl tone and improve your stmaina/lung capicity.
Physique does matter to different people, but the person matters more. You have a beautiful face, and you are blessed in that...because you can lose weight, but you can't change your face. There are many women with good figures, but rather unattractive faces. As a rule of thumb, men are attracted to women originally based on physical attraction alone. That is why they get to know you, (not to say that all men who get to know you are attracted to you) because they find you pretty. After getting to know you a bit they decide if the person matches up to their standards (if they have any, and men looking for a genuine and committed relationship do).
It is, however, not an uncommon occurrence that men will become attracted to women they are close to on the basis of the excellent character and pleasantness to be around. Originally attraction is founded on outward beauty, but long lasting attraction is subject to inward beauty. Mean women don't seem gorgeous very long past the initial infatuation stage. The mistake many men make is getting involved with women before the infatuation dies down a bit to rationally judge her worth. Hormones are something of a thorn in the side.
Just know, if you want to lose weight, you can. It won't happen in a day, but with diligence and a goal you can be whoever you want to be a year from now. If you are confident with your weight, then don't worry. If it troubles you, then work towards losing the extra weight. You don't have to be a supermodel, (most men really don't find them as attractive as society would leave you to believe), but you can fit perfectly into your frame.
Again, you have a lovely face and complexion, and that is something to be happy about. Just work on the fitness for the sake of your confidence and long-term health.
You're you and what you are is beautiful. Don't let people tell you aren't beautiful. No matter what they is ALWAYS someone that loves you for who you are. Also just to put this out there I can't handle girls so skinny the ribs show it makes it hard for me to even be attracted to them. A girl with some belly fat is hot! The only point I draw the line is when the girl has double the width I have lol. Trust me your attractive.

You have the the most beautiful face. A nice smile and eyes. You may think "oh you are just an older guy" NO! Even when I was younger your face is what I would have see first. You can always lose a little weight, but you have to kiss the FACE. You are so young yet, don't let that body image thing hold back such a beautiful girl. You have been blessed with features that people spend lots of money to try and achieve. I hope this helps sweetie Jaycee
I'm sure you are very attractive. From you pic you have a very pretty face and semi-smile. Stop letting other's affect your thoughts about yourself. I've seen so many girls out there with a couple extra pounds that are very attractive. Smile! You deserve it :-)
No I don't think you're too big to be attractive, you have to be pretty shallow and thick headed guy if you judge a girl like you for that.There's more to people than their looks or weight and so on :)
Males are attracted to toned females because that's how society and our instincts work. Plus in my experience to have sex with a heavier female made me feel like I was on top of a water bed. No offence to the girls that are over weight
Waterbed? Who sleeps with a waterbed? :P - 14 days ago
Question Asker
Either way I'm not a waterbed lol - 14 days ago
Answerer
Lmao water beds are out of date, but honestly, if the female is a size 14+ and the male is only a size 28 waist then its an ocean to swim on top - 11 days ago
I know but ocean and waterbed are both kind of G.A.Y ain't they? I mean come on... its not about the girls weight... if you love her then you love her for who she is, not what she is. - 7 days ago
honestly, you have a great face, but the weight is turning me off, I'm a type of guy that works out everyday and if I'm going to date someone, I want that same person to be as taken care of with their body as I am... looks do matter, and you can tell me all the personality blah blah blah you want... but when it actually comes down to it... it really does matter... I can also tell that if you do loose that weight, you would fill out really really well. I'm sure your a nice person at heart and all, but if your looking for a really hott guy and such, well you need to take care of your body just like they do. just like I have to take care of myself to get really attractive girls to look at me, it isn't free and you need to work on it. that cameron guy can call us guys twats all he wants... but in reality you are the one still datless and he can't do sh*t about that... only YOU can... but if you aren't looking for those hot guys etc and just want to settle with an average joe type of guy who likes you for who you are as a personality... well... then that's cool to... =) hows that for honesty?
Wow... uhmm id rather a guy want me 4 my personality. besides you can't even see my body in those pics lol but thnx 4 putting ur answer out =] - 18 days ago
And she isn't dateless. thank you very much shaunmheide. - 17 days ago
Answerer
I never said she wasn't dateless as in she'll never get a date EVER with the way she is at the moment..... I honestly just think that if she were to get into better shape with herself that she will feel A LOT better about herself and she wouldn't be on here asking if she is good enough....... it makes a difference in your personality if you take care of yourself very well, I know this from experience..... you wake up feel great, you have more energy... you can do a lot more, its just better - 17 days ago
So when your looks fade, what will YOU have going for you?? A guy that works out everyday is in fact a turnoff for me. Spending so many hours sweating indoors and grunting at yourself in front of a mirror reminds me of a bit of homoerotic behavior. Get outside, meet new people, and grab yourself some culture while you're at it! - 3 days ago

I don't look at myself in the mirror, and I work out because I want to stay healthy.... your an idiot because I have a Girlfriend and work..... not to mention I spend the least amount of time in my house...... - 3 days ago
You have the audacity to call ME an idiot, when you harass people on instant messenger asking repeatedly if we can tell you're a virgin by your picture. Grow up kid. - 3 days ago
ROFL! yea you can really tell... and yea your one hell of a physiologist............ how about you grow up... since I'm such a kid, why bother with me? I told honesty and I get flamed for my own opinion.... you people are dumb as f*** lol..... also yes you are an idiot... and btw.... I asked out a gorgeous girl the other day, and we f***ed last night... so nope I'm not a virgin anymore and yes you are still an idiot - 2 days ago
It all depends on the person. Some people like big girls, some don't.
For me personally it becomes an issue when they start making excuses about how big they are, and don't look after their health generally. In my experience big girls like to complain a lot. I don't need someone who complains.
Knowitall ever see Liar Liar? (thats just something ugly people say...... well honestly..... SO TRUE!........... everyone can be just as good looking as the rest of the world... but its the ones who don't try who end up on the bottom.... why? Because you don't try....... you don't give a crap to take care of yourself better so you blame the people who actually do take care of themselves and call them shallow because a 155 lbs guy won't date a 190 lbs girl........ wtf... her face doesn't matter? wtf.. - 18 days ago
Question Asker
Hunn that actually is pretty shallow... not every1 thinks the same way as you do. looks don't matter 2 every1. lol - 18 days ago
Again its not being shallow because looks do matter..... personality matters just as much, but if you don't take care of your looks the way you take care of your personality.... well you will find that you don't get as many guys looking your way..... that's all I'm trying to say.... and to say that looks don't matter AT ALL is a complete under statement from the truth.... - 17 days ago
LMFAO that is so not true... I'm not big... I am skinny compared to her but I still love her. you are so close minded. PMSL - 4 days ago
Answerer
I said "more likely". People often define attractiveness in direct relation to their own or their parents appearance. So, if someone were bigger, or came from a family of bigger people, they would be more likely to find you attractive... Personally I think you look just fine, altho your pic does not show your body. Physical appearance is not necessarily all that contributes to attractiveness though... - 4 days ago
No! SO not. Some guys really love bigger girls, and almost every guy loves to see some curves rather than someone who looks like a twelve year old boy ( no offense to skinny girls ) Also, how tall are you? Because I am 5'9" and 150 to 160 pounds, and I am techinally almost overweight but don't look it!
Attraction can come in many forms. Looks-wise some people may not find you attractive because of the weight. But who wants to just be found just physically attractive anyways? Beauty fades so as long as your personality shines through you'll pick up the ones that really matter and that are into you for the right reasons.
First of all, depending on your height and frame, that may not be all that "heavy". I'm built like my father, but manage to disguise my weight fairly well. Most people aren't even close in guessing my weight.
You have to accept yourself and be confident with your body before you can expect other people to. When we're comfortable in our own skin, we appear more attractive to people. I've seen larger girls (myself included) seem more attractive than itty bitty women, because they carry themselves with pride and are aware of their own bodies. And THAT is sexy.
As long as you're getting enough exercise, and wear clothes that fit well, you should be strutting yourself all over town! You've got curves, FLAUNT 'EM! ;)
No offence but I don't think you understand the meaning of "trying to make everyone's opinion the same as your own" so go find out what each individual word means. piece it together and come back to me when you are grown up and have a brain. - 15 hours ago

Okay all the fat and ugly people need to relax! You are so pretty and I can promise you that BUT Shawn is right, if you lost a bit of weight you would like 10x better. 185-190 isn't massive but its pretty big. Work out a little, you'll feel better and gain more confidence which btw will have a positive affect on your personality.
Personality is MOST important but looks are important too and I'm not a shallow person, I'm just an average girl, I'm not super skinny but I'm just right because I try to stay active. You're attractive despite the fact that you're kinda big but trust me girl you'll be even more gorgeous if you took better care of your body! =D
Of course she is and there is no denying that BUT every single person has the potential to look better and working towards that potential makes you feel better and keeps you healthier so you can live longer! =D - 11 days ago
It doesn't mean you live longer... PMSL... it means more people will ask her out... they will say she's normal but normal is a norm and a norm is a majority... but then there's the majority of people who are different. if you ask me they are normal as well. everyones normal. she's fine the way she is. - 7 days ago
Answerer
Normal? are you kidding me... in America its NORMAL to be fat or slightly overweight. Being big IS a norm. Nobody said she wasn't normal. Being healthy doesn't make you conform to the norms of society. Working out, eating right just makes you healthier and YES it does make you live longer in the sense that obesity and being overweight is unhealthy and not good for your bodily organs. Generally bigger people get tired faster they are less active so just helping yourself do more is not wrong. - 7 days ago

You can be big and healthy! I mean who's healthier a girl that eats right & work out often but can't drop the weight, or a skinny girl that sits around and eats junk food and doesn't know what the inside of a gym looks like but stays skinny. I am sick of these generalizations. If you don't look too heavy and distribute your weight well throughtout your body, then it makes you curvy and guys like that :) Judging by your avatar, you are a very beautiful girl. Some guys could care a damn less about weight and go for the girl with an awesome face. Be yourself, be confident (it influences how people think of you) and take on the world & make it yours! It sounds corny, but live it!
I think that being bigger may lessen your chances of being considered attractive. However, that's not what's wrong with being over weight. With being overweight comes many health problems and complications. It's important to be healthy, and find a weight that's right for you and maintain it. Guys like it when girls take care of themselves. Besides, you have a pretty face.
I think I understand what you're trying to say. HOWEVER, I'm consider "obese" according to my BMI, but even my doctor says I'm healthy. All my bloodwork shows that I'm within healthy levels, and I run regularly. What about the "skinny" girls that suck on cigarettes all day? Is that healthy? Health is one of those words where everyone has their own definition. - 7 days ago

You look cute in your profile pic, but I think the way you took it would hide any extra weight you might have. So I can't really tell from that. From the number though, I would think that's just too much unless you're really tall. If you're under 6' being 185 has to make you look kind of lumpy if you're naked and guys do care about that.
i think you're pretty in your profile pic. yes I'm gonna be honest, from one big girl to the next, weight has a huuuge issue on people being attracted to you. yeah there are some guys that are attracted to big women, but they are few and far between compared to the ones that dont. also there are guys that may like heavier girls, but don't want to admit it because of what their peers might think. those are the guys you want to stay away from. so in conclusion, if you lose the weight you'll have more options and guys will like you more.
If the guys really like you then they won't care about your weight. forget all this stuff about losing weight. just be yourself and be proud of it. - 19 days ago

Losing weight will help attract guys though. men are motivated by looks, I'm just being real. we can give her disneyland sunshine answers if we want too but its not gonna help her situation unless we are honest. no disrespect you seem like a nice guy and I wish that were true, but unfortunately that's not the reality of the situation. we live in a shallow world - 19 days ago
