Do guys care if you have a little belly fat?

[Sweetascandy1990]

I've been working out and I'm really starting to like how my body is looking. I've always had low self-esteem due to bullying. This is the first time in my life that I'm really digging how I look. I was never fat, but just a little overweight due to depression. However, I was bullied by an abusive guy I dated... that I was fat and would laugh at my belly fat. He led me on and then rejected me because he said I wasn't proportional enough and all his previous girlfriends were. He is part of the reason what motivated me to work out and tone up.

I still have some improvements to make, but in general will a guy like me or find me attractive if I still have just a little belly fat? or are guys repulsed by any type of fat?

Just curious because I think I feel very self-conscious around men now... I don't know if they are staring at my belly.

Any positive feedback is appreciated :-)

You should work up and tone up to feel better with yourself, not because of what others think. Otherwise, what will you do when your next boyfriend will tell you you're too short, or other nonsense?

Most guys aren't going to care about a little fat. I doubt that your ex boyfriend even cared, he was just trying to control you.

some is fine,
some peoples definition of some is a lot more than others. I Can't believe the people in us with giant beer guts/ate basketballs... its our trash diets of sugar. we all have an image of ourselves and there is reality. but in general, it's good you are working on yourself, that's awsome... glad to hear it! keep up the good work! just adj diet, exercise, all good. I'm not that picky and effort goes a long way.

A little is fine but some people say a little and are quite obese. Some say a little and its like wtf belly fat are you talking about. So I can't really comment on you. Maybe if you gave stats like height and weight we could at least comment on that.

I'm a size 9 or 10 in jeans. I have a thin waist... more like a pear-shaped body. Most of my weight is on my butt and thighs. I played a lot of soccer in high school and maybe it's in my genes... I'm Latina too. I weighed myself last month 140 and I'm 5 feet. I'm still working on loosing weight. I use to weigh 110, but that's too skinny for me. I like being thick... slim thick. Goal weight 125-130. I just have some bloating at times and a little fat when I sit... trying to improve that.

Thank you :-)

[bamesjond0069]

Yeah I mean I don't know if it all goes to your ass then maybe 125-130 but I am very familiar with a girl who is 5ft who weighted 90lbs at least and 130 at most and she looked hella fine at 90-110. She looked kinda chunky in my opinion above that but also most of it didn't go to her ass, it was I guess evenly distributed lmao. So it sounds like you can get away with a bit more.

[constant_freeflow]

Of course guys don’t care and anyone that brings you down they can go to hell. I have dated women of most height and weight and honestly no difference as far as attraction goes as long as she has a great personality and is willing to be intimate ☺️

Define "a little"... because most girls think that fat is "curvy"... which is isn't, so I would like to know what you define as a little belly fat.

SO it sounds more like you have meat in your husks, not your belly.

[Sweetascandy1990]

Lol... that's funny. I don'tI'm very

[Sweetascandy1990]

... phone died... I meant to say to add... I'm very hard on myself, especially when it comes to my physical beauty. I don't see myself good enough due to past bullying and rejection.

Thank you for answering :-)... any feedback and men's point of view is helpful!

[Philyouup]

Not at all.. why? we are not all perfect and we all well never be perfect for long , if we do.. I love what is in between my loveres ears, not what's above her ;)

[Bananaman177]

I like it. Some guys love it. Some guys hate it.

[Dankster96]

Some belly fat is fine, as long as you don't have a bulging gut you're good.

[genericname85]

no. if it's "a little" i very much prefer it to a flat belly.

[clampfan101]

A little belly fat is fine. She doesn’t have to be perfect.

It's ALWAYS somebody else's fault isn't it?

[Sweetascandy1990]

If you don't mind can you elaborate please :-)

[Browneye57]

You have systematically handed over power over yourself to others and desperately seek validation and acceptance. You blame being overweight on anything but just eating too much and not moving enough - a made-up mental state, some guy, and any number of uncontrollable external forces. It is NEVER due to your own choices and decisions! And hence, it's ALWAYS somebody else's fault for your state in life, your condition, your situation. Women commonly do this, we're not quite sure why, but the assumption is that it's all part of your solipsistic nature. And it ain't pretty, and way not desirable, but you are focused on your own belly button - the 'navel gazer'. I find it deplorable.

In other words, it's your total self-focus that is off-putting, not whatever you deem to be some 'belly fat'.

[Sweetascandy1990]

I understand... thank you for your elaboration :-) It's good to know... that's why I'm here in GAG to grow and learn men's perspective. I'll keep this in mind sir <3

[Ripper_E]

Most girls have belly fat, so no.

[Lance1965]

Most guys wouldn't care about a little belly fat.

[Rider22]

Nope doesn’t bother me.

[Miristheiss]

A little is ok.

[TonyBologna25]
