I like Barbie Thin, but they don't like me. :-) But size 13 is good too. Confidence in the size you are is more important than anything. And do the part you can do to stay healthy and in shape. Also, be realistic about the kind of guy you are attracted to.
Example. My 28 year old son has red hair, freckles, glasses, he is short, 30 lbs over weight, and still lives with his mom, but will not look at a girl unless she is smoking hot. He is alone and a virgin. Go figure.
As this past year's gone on, I've definitely started to be more confident in myself. I know I'm not like a crazed health nut or anything, but I do stay healthy and exercise. :)
Oh wow. No offense to your son or anything, but I don't understand how someone can be that shallow.

Yeah he is a lost cause.. no offense taken, he needs to get a clue. Good Luck - 3 months ago
Really? Good to know! I'm finally reaching a point where I'm okay with who I am no matter how I look (no matter what size). It's very liberating. :) - 6 months ago
Answerer
Yeah man there was this guy I used to know years ago. The most superficial bastard I ever met, and recently told me he's getting married. Met the fianc and she's a bigger girl. Took me completely off guard. - 6 months ago
Question Asker
I never really understood why the ideal girl should be super skinny anyway...I mean, biologically, girls are generally built bigger anyway because we're the ones who have babies. We need the wider hips and a little extra fat. - 6 months ago
Answerer
Oh I know what you mean. Women to me should have curves. Real hips y'know? My Girlfriend is a slightly bigger girl but she carries it really well. Sometimes she gets a little upset sometimes regarding her stomach but really I kinda like that she has just a little bit of tummy fat. Besides, you'd never notice it in most the clothes she wears, that and her breasts alone kinda distracts from anything else somebody might wanna nitpick about. Personally I think she's a babe all around though. - 6 months ago

Incidentally I just looked at your pictures. You're quite pretty yourself. Cute too. - 6 months ago
Question Asker
Aw! Why thank you! If only more people would think that. I'm almost 19 and never even had a first kiss or dated. - 6 months ago
No it is kinda cute. You would be amazed how many guys you would get if you just exude some confidence. Guys are not as hard on girls as girls are on themselves.
"KILLY" all I have to say is WTF ! my bestfriend is over wieght and she eats really healthy and is a hip - hop dancer, she also plays other sports she is "fat" because its genetic.. so next time you open your mouth about the whole excuses to stay fat thing.. think about it .. just because you got good genes and probably never had to loose a pound in your life just goes to show that your closed minded and have no idea how hard it is for some people to loose wieght. it doesn't happen over night! - 7 months ago
Good thing your dad didn't have that same rule...oooohhhh. j/k Please don't take that too seriously ;-) - 7 months ago
Question Asker
Like what Niko-r said, it's genetic. I don't find excuses to stay fat. In fact, I hardly have any fat on me at all. My hip bone is directly under my skin. I'm as small as my body will ever let me be. I eat healthy foods, I go to the gym a few nights a week. Even when I was in gymnastics and playing volleyball I was never any smaller. - 7 months ago
Killy I agree with you bro. I wouldn't do a girl that I couldn't benchpress either.
And about this crap people are saying about not being able to be thin because of genetics is just another excuse not to hit the gym.
I keep hearing people say "im big boned" or "my bones are big so I'm as thin as I can be" but whens the last time youve seen a fat skeleton ? hmmm? - 7 months ago
Question Asker
1FastFC: I DO go to the gym. I DO eat right. There is no physical way for me to be any smaller than I am. Believe it or not, genetics really DO play a part in what size you are. - 7 months ago
Answerer
Yes, I agree to a point. Genetics do play a part in a persons physique but even the most endomorphic person will lose weight if they exercise on a caloric deficiensy. So get your shit straight.

Heck I'm feeling really generous so I thought I might drop a direct rapidshare download link for ' Burn the fat feed the muscle ' by Tom Venuto. I suggest you try to read it if your atention span isn't that of a five-year-old toddler.

Why the hell would you wish me a great life? You're supposed to curse me to the eight circle of hell. Gawd, you can't do anything right, can you?
Btw that e-book is a great read even if you aren't into hardcore fitness, it should definitely give you some tips for a healthier lifestyle. Honestly, not even trying to troll here. - 7 months ago

Question Asker
I'm wishing you a great life because that's the kind of person I am. I don't curse people out. I don't think that's mature, besides (like I said) you're not worth my time. And you don't even know me, so you can't exactly say that I can't do anything right. - 7 months ago

You keep saying I'm not worth your time but you still keep replying. - 7 months ago
What's so wrong with being fat? Really? I mean, does it automatically make you a bad person? Does personality change once a person reaches a weight? And you guys who say you won't "do" a girl you can't bench press are missing out on some pretty amazing girls. And yes, I am size 11-13, so I am on the question askers side. Maybe you should "try" a girl in the 11-13 size range, don't knock it till you try it kind of thing. There's more to love. - 6 months ago
Just a few (unsorted)alternative ways to see it: -Personality and character have more importance than hip size and in general they will remain the same for a long time, hip size usually expands with time. -Rounder women seem to feel happier, according to this study: link ->Life with a happy woman is much easier than with an unhappy one. -If her brains and hearth match the tag in her clothes it's ok. -The guy who just loves a girls' body will have few reasons to say NO to the cheerleader and cheerleaders date too. -Barbie is 50, made out of plastic and completely empty, would have severe back pain and unable to conceive children
I don't date girls who are bigger then a -2 (negative 2) I fnd over weight girls repulsive!
Of course I don't really mean what I typed up there lol. honestly I don't mind aslong as they are sweet and fun to hang out with. I would totally date someone of that size :)
Thanks for the answer! If only more people in my area would think like that. Oh well...I've come to the conclusion that if someone judges me by my jean size rather than who I am, they're not worth my time. - 8 months ago
You're amazing! I grew up with my entire family saying that I'd be kinda pretty if I just lost a little weight just because I wear an 11-13. - 9 months ago
I agree with this guy! I am really small .. 5 ' 8 and 130 pounds ! I wear like a size 2 I wish I had more meat on my bones, I envy curvy girls .. seriously just be confident in yourself .. my bff is a size 22 and she is so hot! a lot of guys like her .. and she is way bigger than you.. - 7 months ago
Question Asker
Thank you! I'm starting to gain a little bit more confidence. My sister actually told me a couple times that she's jealous of how I look. And a few times at work, I'll walk past a guy and smile slightly at him and I'll get a full smile in return! That's never happened to me! - 7 months ago
Answerer
Totallychaotic, just to make sure I wasn't misunderstood, my comment above under Killy was directed at Killy, not you. I figured he deserved a little ribbing for being so rude.
Congrats on getting the smiles :) When a girl seems friendly it makes her soooo much more attractive and approachable. - 7 months ago
Question Asker
Oh no, I understood. And thank you! I was so angry at his response that I didn't even bother to reply until I saw that other people were on my side.
Thank you! I'm really trying my hardest to try to be more confident in myself. I used to look in the mirror and tell myself how much I hate the way I am, but now I'm turning that around. After all, why would I be how I am if I weren't meant to be? And I'm starting to see that I do have a lot to offer someone...that I am worth the time. - 7 months ago

first things first, it depends for every guy but personally fro me, I don't mind it at all!
No, it doesn't bother me, but I also think that guys are a bit more picky when it comes to a girl's looks. But then again, I may be wrong. I dunno. - 9 months ago
I personally prefer guys on the heavy side...i don't really know why but of all the guys I've dated (not very many hehe) the heavy sided (hehe that sounds weird) ones were the best! - 6 months ago

Yeah, it really comes down to the person. Within reason, all the other stuff is just window dressing. - 6 months ago
So to you, a girl who wears size 11-13 pants is fat, and it would bother you. Just trying to make things clear. Thanks for the honest answer. - 9 months ago
Answerer
Not huge but yes, she's not skinny. It really is crucial, my kids will be born with her good/bad metabolism, so it's hard to think of committing to that. - 9 months ago
Answerer
I wish things were different, but women are much more about bodies than men. I'm not worried about aging or putting on a gut later in life. in a way things are still ok because skinny women are so spoiled that many great guys end up just wanting any good woman in the end. - 9 months ago
Question Asker
The metabolism thing isn't really true. I inherited my dad's family's metabolism.
Don't you think that women have to be more about bodies than men? In today's society, a woman's beauty is very much about what size she is, not how she acts or treats people, or even what her face looks like. - 9 months ago
Answerer
Yes, that's what I meant about the bodies thing. As far as metabolism, all my experiences say differently, so I have to trust that, but will look up conflicting views. - 9 months ago
Personally, I do not think that size 10-13 is that big. I am a size 7 and I look smaller than a lot of girls. I think it has a lot to do with how you are built. - 9 months ago
This is hard because it has multiple answers. I have met many VERY attractive women that were on the heavy side. AND I have met very unattracttive women that all you could focus on their weight and insecurities. Think of a car race and both of the cars are a Ford Taurus. One is a very experienced race car driver and the other sucks! Now take that great race car driver and put him up against another driving a Porsche. You know who would win both races. So you can make the best of this! but leaning down a bit would help you... here is a post about getting guys to chase you! link I think I will write a post about this!
Very interesting way to look at it. I suppose you're right. So what you're saying is just be confident in who you are and the weight shouldn't really matter?
I read the link, very intriguing article. As a shy girl, it'd be a bit difficult for me to be the cat the dogs want to chase, but I suppose I could develop my own coy ways. :D - 9 months ago
Answerer
Being shy does not exude confidence or win any races. I used to be so shy that I could not even look at women. So it is very possible to change. Also I didn't really mean just that... I mean being confidence helps but you are not going to win the indy 500 in a tractor no matter how good you are. - 9 months ago
hun I have no idea how american sizes work:P but I'm defenatly not a skinny girl:P and I totally get what you mean... But the thing is, most guys don't even like skinny girls that much, they like something to hold on to;) And it really should never ever mean that you'll settle for someone you don't really like... You should check out my profile pic of me and my bf, he is really athletic and he never used to be into bigger girls, well... I still got him;) If a guy has some balls and isn't afraid of a reall women you will defenatly get him;)
Thank you! Since I posted this, I'm starting to see that I shouldn't really be unhappy with how I look because it's who I am as a person that matters the most. And there have been people who've looked at my profile picture told me that I really have nothing to worry about anyway because I'm pretty...It's only recently that I'm starting to see that I actually do have something to offer a guy. I went and saw a guest speaker yesterday and he basically the exact same thing you did. - 6 months ago

my friend is heavier and she gets hit on more. she's more outgoing than I am. I'm a little more picker than she is. that's just one reason. some guys are all game for it
i live in australia, and I'm a size 10, wich would be a size 4 there. and I get called fat now! it ridiculious how some people can be so judgemental of women. I think your a beautiful girl.
That's insane! A size 4 is nowhere near fat. Thank you so much! That means a lot. - 9 months ago

it depends on how ur body distributes fat
if you are an hourglass or have a brickhouse type body then guys will like it. if ur appleshaped and short wit it and have a huge gut, then it will bother a lot of guys
jean size doesn't make you fat and guys don't really care about it. its about how you look and remember everyman has his preference. as long as ur not obese or moderately overweight, you will still be able to pull a good number of guys
I'm going to disagree with everyone. Before I had my daughterI weighed 115lbs, I was 5'5'' .. guys hit on me yes, but after I had my daughter I was more around 150, and MORE guys hit on me, the same group that hit on me at 115 even said they thought I looked better with a little meat on my bones... #1 it's all about confidence no one wants to date any girl that have to constantly feed compliments too. Another thing does have to do with where, and how your weight is positioned. Evely distribuited isn't as bad as all sititng in your gut.
Most important thing isn't what the guys think anyways, it's about your health. If you're eating Fast food everyday, or icecream everynight, proportions big enough for you and a friend. That's not healthy. I'm not saying throw all the junk food out your house, but be concious of what your eating, and even more concious about keeping your heart healthy by doing some form of cardio.
at the end of the day you are your judge. if you look in the mirror and see something you're not happy with well then there is only one choice,. Change it into something you're proud of.,
Champ, [there is only one choice,. Change it ] or love it! - 8 months ago

I can sympathize with you because I use to be chubby, but then I started eating right and working out in high school. Maybe you should try to do the same. Once you get started it feels so good. It just takes a little will power and determination. You will feel better about yourself if you do.
I'm a huge heavy metal, hardcore, punk, and hard rock fan. I've had some girls, as well as some of my friends, tell me that this can be scary and that...
"I look nothing like the girls from Sex and the City" "My body isn't even close to the bodies in the magazines" "My boobs are too small" "My boobs are too big" "I have a ghetto booty" "I have no butt"...
I recently just read an article on askmen.com which was basically on how to tell if you are dating an Alpha Female and how to counteract her little techniques and win her over. I thought to myself,...
