Does weight really matter?

I can only speak for me, but I care. Having said that, there are women who have weight more evenly distributed than others - still shapely. Plus you have to factor in height and whether you are toned or not. I know it's shallow to think like that, but I've seen so many beautiful women who look much older after they gain. A bit extra is better than being bones. To be fair, I think it's only reasonable if some women like guys to be in shape as well. And I could use some working out myself.

The one thing I hate is when I dance with a girl and her hips feel as wide as a couch. It makes me feel like I can't grasp her. Weight does matter. Maybe not if you're overweight by 10 lbs. But if you're over by 20 or more pounds, that's a lot of pork and sausage for me to try to like. Just look good, don't look like you're about to float away. I always use the principle of equivalent exchange. If I look good (which I do) then you should look good as well. I don't know why these girls are at home on the couch eatin pork chops and passing gas while drooling over Brad Pitt on the television screen. If you look like that then you should try to be with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, that's equivalent exchange. How can you look like shit, but you're trying on Armani? These girls need to get that pork bone out their mouths and pick up a celery stick. Who is Brad Pitt with? What does Angelina Jolie look like? Exactly, I don't see him with somebody who looks like Rosie O' Donnell

I still don't get dress sizes. I prefer women who have some extra beef on the behind, I can't stand flat butts, I want something to grab onto during sex or to slap playfully.

It's a sliding scale. The more confidence a girl has, the less physical appeal she needs to meet the minimum of attractiveness. The less confidence she has, the more she will need to rely on her looks. Personally, I think that personality carries slightly more weight than looks.

The frank answer, though, is that yes weight does really matter. Personally, I view it as an indicator of how a girl takes care of herself and her approach to life. If she's not maintaining a healthy lifestyle then she may not be dedicated enough to be what I'm looking for. But, of course, this can change depending on circumstances and personality.

Looks generate base animal attraction. It's just how we're hardwired from evolution. After that though personality does come into play, but how much so varies on a case by case basis.

Size really has a little to do with it. I agree with everyone else that confidence is a major role in how guys view you. I have been attracted to both fit and a little over weight girls. The reason I was attracted to the bigger girls is they are smart about there appearance. If you got a gut then cover it up. If your hips are huge then don't do the tight pants. Wear something you feel good in and strut your stuff. Your personality will overcome your flaws. I'm not saying this will work every time, especially if some supermodel type girl walks in but it will give you a fighting chance. Different guys like totally different types of girls, and you will learn that as you get older. You've got plenty of time.

To me size doesn't matter. Its their personality is what makes them attractive. She could be thin and have a lame personality which would make her unattractive. Confidence is a key in any person, so yes confidence is real important. With out it you can't succeed in life.

The truth, for me at least, I have never really been attracted to a girl that was on the larger side until I get to know them, then I guess that's where the confidence comes in, but being that your "under 18" I'm guessing at that age most of the guys in your class aren't mature enough to see that.

Depends on the guy. There are many guys out there who don't care about size and find confidence sexy. Unfortunately for me, I am not one of those guys and I do care about size.

Weight matters and anyone who says different is trying to be nice.

Ask any guy who he'd rather be with: Christina Milian or Mo'Nique and what do you think the majority will say?

Confidence matters to a point, but even if you're fat, it diminishes your options. He would probably have to get to know you first and become attracted to your personality before he dates you (if he does at all). Ask women who used to be like 250 lbs. And then lost the weight if they got more guys being bigger or thinner.
