Do guys have to have a girl with a nice body?

No. I personally look at the eyes first. I don't actually decide whether I fancy her until I get to know her. Looks are great, but it's the actual girl that will keep me interested or turn me off of them. Actually, thinking back, very few of the girls I've liked have been flat on their abs like you've said. They've all had a little roundness to them. All stunningly pretty, but not exactly all of them were thin. Besides, I'm not attracted to sticks. I'm attracted to girls. No offense to people with eating disorders, but honestly, thin doesn't mean pretty. The same goes for obesity. It's not physically pretty. I have gotten to know some overweight girls though and they were actually really great girls. Two of them I actually liked.

okay, I know it seems that I like overweight girls by looking at this answer. That isn't what I said. I said that weight doesn't matter to me. What matters is the girl underneath. I'm not the only guy like that.

Umm... first off to start off you shouldn't ask this as anoymous... that's the first step to being not so self conscience... and no her body doesn't make her better... but if you at least got curves your good in life. You got proportions you would look good. Just because you aren't a supermodel doesn't mean guys won't like you but don't expect Abercrombie models to like you, because those kind need high expectations.

I think the mistake your making is that you still have the idea in your head, that to be attractive , you have to be attractive to everyman on the face of the planet, which TOTALLY doesn't work, for girls or guys. Every guy has their own preferences. I don't care if a chick doesn't have perfect abs or a flat tummy. As long as they are not morbidly thin or obese ( being able to see the rib cage is fricken disgusting). I don't mind a girl with a bit of a tummy, they generally nicer curves anyway.

You know I would be lying if I said that every man doesn't care about a woman with a nice body but what constitutes a nice body is up to the observer. What I may think is hot may not appeal to the next man. I think its more important to like your body and then not be so concerned about what everyone else thinks.

Every man has a different preference. Yes, there is a type that tends to attract more guys, but more guys doesn't necessarily mean more worthwhile guys.

The question I have for you is this: Are YOU happy with your body? Because that's all that matters. You can't please a faceless egomass or try to fit some Maxim/Cosmo-airbrushed celebrity. If you want to have less of a belly for health reasons, great! But don't do it because you're trying to get more guys to notice you. You can seriously hurt yourself trying because you'll get caught up in thinking that you're not good enough because you don't know who you're trying to be good enough for! Just be good enough for you and the confidence you radiate will bring out the guys who are willing to fight for your approval. It may drain the dating pool a bit, but it definitely ups the quality.

As long as they're not morbidly obese or a twig, it's all fine with me!

Not sure if I can speak for all guys, but for myself, I do have a 'body type' I like to be with, depending on the occasion. For example, If I'm looking for a long term relationship, then I know I prefer the thinner girls. If I just want to go out on a date for fun, then I've been with thin girls, chubby girls, and even couple of obese ones.

I have also met some guys that absolutely refuse to date a specific body type, but if nobody was looking, they would 'do' anything with a vagina between their legs.

So to answer your question, I think it all depends on the guys taste. I have a friend of mine that finds thin girls to be too anorexic for him, and he loves the ones that are a bit more 'padded'. Other guys that are more shallow just want to date mode like girls. So you can't really generalize. Now, one thing is for sure---latin american men for the most part love their women to be a bit on the padded side. :))

One more thing...what is really annoying is girls complaining about their so called 'body deficiencies.' I've dumped girls who couldn't shut their mouths about their butts being so big, their legs being so short, or their faces being too round. In my eyes they had the perfect body, but I just couldn't stand their childish whining!

If you don't think that you look good, no guy will either. And if you don't think you look good then that should be motivation to improve yourself, but don't do it for some jerk, do it because it's what you want. I used to be chubby around the midsection but started running 1.5 mi 4 days a week and drinking only water and it got flat. Wear black, avoid stripes, don't wear close that squeeze your rolls. JUST MAKE YOURSELF HOT AND STOP COMPLAINING THAT GUYS DON' LIKE YOU> MAKE THEM LIKE U

Guys do look for girls with the nicest body ass, abs, looks, sex appeal and etc. Guys kill me when they say that isn't so.
