Do overweight girls even have a chance?

I wouldn't fret. I have two sons that are 17 and 16. They have never had girlfriends. I believe it is a self image issue and shyness (which really may be one and the same issue). They just haven't felt the need to get out there yet.

I would say be who you are and loving of yourself and you will attract people to you. Personality plays a very big role for most people. Sure there are a number of guys and gals that are very superficial and really only looking for someone with that perfect feature.

Don't give up hope.

the term plus size is a deal breaker in many younger kids. the media is showing sexy mean skinny (WHICH IS ILL)

but do you know the avg dress size for women in American is 12. So.

So when you get older you'll find out plus size is not a bad thing. in facts quite of few man out there love woman on the thicker size. (I like it) but most important is Confidence that is a true quality that people look for, not looks. (have you heard the term "air Head") lol

so good luck on your life journey. and stay cute.

You are young and have tons of opportunities to find that guy that likes you no matter what. Sure the setting you are in may not be one suitable for a bigger lady, but your day will come. As I hit college I found there are so many guys that like totally different types of girls than me. Some like skinny girls, some like big girls, some like tall girls, and some like short girls. Then there are guys that only like other races, and some that like other languages. Spend your next few years making the best you, you can be. I am not telling you that you have to go out and get skinny or anything like that. Just spend time learning your body, or your style, and what you enjoy to do. Once you find yourself, others will find you too. There is a whole world of people outside your little community, that enjoy the type of person you are or will become. Good Luck!

One of the big illusions is that in order to find anyone, you have to be appealing to everyone. This isn't true. In fact, to find someone you just have to appeal to that person. Not all people are looking for super models. In fact, most people are just looking for someone who will like them back and not keep looking over their shoulder trying to find something better.

Don't worry about what other people want because that is the way to insanity. Concern yourself more with what you want and work on getting it.

My girlfriend is a big plus size. But she is always happy and jolly and makes the most of her best feature’s, guys are always trying to chat her up. So I say, Be big. Be beautiful.
But most of all Be happy .

Overweight girls do have a chance it all depends on who they are going after, even if they are the nicest people on earth they are not given a chance to start of with as most guys will not go up to them to talk. But in a situation where a guy is put with an overweight girl he can grow to like her by really getting to know who she is. Of course this all depends on who the overweight girl is going for we all have our boundaries on who we can go after even if you are "good looking". This is why I believe first impressions do count because we choose to judge the person before knowing them, not saying that first impressions is a good thing. By being "overweight" or any other type of "negative" physical appearance it reduces the chance that someone will want to get to know you, but it does happen.

Their chances are a lot smaller. Also, it depends HOW overweight. A size 14 who kinda chunky but looks proportionate is going to have a better chance than a size 20 that's obese. It's just unattractive and repulsive to the guy. Even if his friends make fun of him, he still probably wouldn't want to see her naked (sorry =/)

Also, many overweight girls lack the confidence and that is a big turn off to guys. Either they are too shy and don't send/get signals, act too desperate and get used, or they are shooting out of their league. I'm not trying to be mean at all but I'm gonna be very honest, the cutest guy in school with the most options probably is not going to be dating a big girl.

There are some guys who are secretly attracted to big girls but won't date them because of what their friends and family would say.

The best chances an overweight girl can have is 1) Use her personality and charm to "grow" on a guy. They might start off as friends but he will become attracted to her, and like her for her. Or (2) go after an undesirable guy as he may have less options.

well I'm not a guy but I see lots of heavier girls who have guys. They may not be the hottest ones or the most popular ones but everyone is cute in their own way.
