I asked my BF:
My boyfriend is a stomach guy. He looks at face and then midsection he says. He is completely put off by the pooch or no waist. He likes it very thin and tight in that area. The pics TedStar posted are way too much for him.
I remember having a conversation with his best friend last year about why he dumped his girlfriend. He said her stomach pooch got to him. And she was very thin, but had a slight bulge there.
It all depends on the guy.
My boyfriend just got back from the States last week after 2 months there. He said that there is a very big difference between the girls there vs the girls in Europe/South Africa/Asia. He noticed they had much higher body fat and stored it more in their waist/breast area in the states. Not sure what that's attributed to.
I know my brother is also very picky about midsections on a girl.
None of my female friends have any pooch at all.

Have you not seen the female body type(s) that guys are with?
Sure, there are some guys who would like a girl to have a flat, tone stomach.
But then you have the other percentage of guys who could care less and/or prefer that.
I have stomach pudge as well now, my boyfriend doesn't mind.
A small stomach pooch is nice, it's feminine in a way.
As long as you're not overweight/unhealthy. You're in the clear.
I don't think most guys care about a little belly pouch, it's very common. People always call me skinny and I'm about a pound under the healthy weight range for my height and even I have a belly pouch. I think as long as it's not a disgusting blob that hangs all the way over your belt-line it's not a big deal.
Judging by the second picture on your profile, you look like you don't have nearly enough body mass to have an actual "gut", so what you have now is (what I imagine) completely normal and natural. Your body is supposed to have some mass beyond its basic structure. Sure, some guys like a girl that has absolutely no body fat at all, but to me (and many others) this unnatural, unattractive, and frankly just unhealthy.
I don't know about other guys here, but I can't stand the "thigh gap" thing either. I want a woman- not a little girl, not a famine victim...I want a WOMAN that doesn't look gaunt.
Not to the point of it being a deal breaker or immediate turn off. I understand that most people won't have washboard abs. A flat stomach is hot though, but little pouch is not a turn off at all. With fitness and good nutrition already popular I'd encourage you to join the rage and work on your body before that mole hill turns into a mountain though. This is fine link link

i didn't even know what a thigh gap was until about two months ago
i think a flat stomach is better than a non-flat stomach. but I don't make my decisions on stomachs alone and I certainly don't think a flat stomach is the sole determiner of physical beautyI think guys don't care as much as girls care about guys with six pack abs on their teens/early 20s thanks to the media if you have a nice figure overall there is no problem, also if you have an awesome personality if a guy knows what he wants he won't care about a little belly as you said. I don't know it's what I think.
Stomachs don't really rate that high on most guys' lists. A flat, toned stomach is noticable, sure, but it's not something we obsess over. There are different kinds of bellies. There's a distinctly feminine type of soft, small, curved belly that is perfectly attrative to guys who don't want particularly muscular or athletic looking girls. It's totally different from having a truly fat gut or a muffin top.
Abs = no thanks
Flat = nice so long as they aren't all bony and anorexic
A little stomach = OK
gut = no thanks.No, it's not a big deal. I like both flat stomachs and stomachs that are just a little soft and pudgy. As long as she avoids the two extremes, rock hard abs and a big ol' belly, a girl will be fine in most guys eyes.
No. I can honestly tell you that I like a little bit of belly.
I don't think men pay too much details to a girls stomach. As long as it isn't noticable big and jiggly they won't really care.
I love a little spare tyre on her, makes her cuter and it's healthier.
No . I've been all over America and seen guys holding hands with girls who have bear bellies, But never vice versa unless the girl was overweight too.
As long as it's not a beer gut I could care less.
Most don't care that much
