Why are most fit men attracted to unfit women?


Because despite what folks constantly believe, many guys. . . especially good looking guys are not really attracted to supposedly very sexy women.
Examples;





Maybe because different people have different things they're attracted to, and not everyone thinks like you? Just a thought. People (who aren't typically shallow) also don't look a certain way or workout just to be with someone who looks just like them. Most people do it for their health.
This question is like asking why are white women sometimes attracted to black men, and insulating that that must be wrong in some way. Or asking why tall men aren't going after tall women. By your logic, you're probably way too short for him not six feet minimum.
Also, you sound incredibly shallow, OP. I wouldn't date you just based on personality alone, no matter what you looked like. (And I bet it's not as attractive as you think you are.)
I have seen something like this. It is not uncommon. My guess would be the guy just wants to be in control so that it would be less competition for him. If he is dating a gym hottie, he has to worry a lot about her having many options out there xD
Another reason could be preference. You would be surprised to know what other people like is totally not something we would go for.
I think the girl in the pic is beautiful and so if every other girl. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and she must be his type and he obviously thinks she’s beautiful. Everyone is different in what they are attracted to

I looked up pictures of Candice Swanepoel and I can see how he came to that conclusion. She's a Victoria's Secret model and definitely attractive, but if you look at a bunch of fashion models, you notice a trend: rail thin, utterly emasciated-looking, probably suffers from anorexia because she has to keep her weight down in order to fit the look and has a poor self-image because of it. It's evident that the fashion industry really wants all of its models to have hourglass figures, but because those are not exactly common, rectangle bodies are next best thing. It's a retched state of affairs, really, because most women are not stick figures, but they end up hating their bodies because "thin is in".
Personally, yes, the girl in the picture is far more attractive. Why? Well, for one, she looks like she has some meat on her bones and secondly, she has well-defined curves--what a lot of guys would refer to as "birthing hips". Is she overweight? Possibly, because it looks like the fat deposits are in all the "right" places, whereas Ms. Swanepoel doesn't really have any.
I'm Sure As Hell Not Attracted To Fat Women, I Don't Date Outside My Race Either As A White Guy And I'm Shredded And Lift Heavy Af, Thin Too, Here's Video For Context
Most Of You Probably Can't Approach A Fit Male Because You're Not In Alignment With Said Person For Lifestyle, For Example, I'm A Metalhead With A Disdain Towards Ca Due To Mass Migration, Sure White Women Might Be Attracted, But I'm Into Goth Stuff And Only Want A Pale Women With Black Hair Who's Thin And Values Her Race.
I'm Only Attracted To Sexy Women And I Despise People Who Can't Take Care Of Themselves, Because It Also Means Lazy Personality, Someone With No Priorities Is A Leech And Will Drain Your Time And Brings Little To The Table, Even If They Have A Lot In Common. I'm 150 - 160, I Wouldn't Date A Women Past 140 Lbs, She Should Be Thin And Cut And Only Have Weight Added To Say 120 If It's Muscle And I'm 5:6
People Need To Stop Lying On The Internet, It's Infuriating, I Don't Know If It's The State I Live In Plus The Internet But Very Few Have Any Self Respect Nowadays. ( And I Don't Mean For Their Sense Of Humor Online ) I Mean For The Types Of People They Allow In Their Lives.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/TvyJYr2eo4MYou can’t assume a person’s taste based on their looks. I’ve made that mistake with more women than I care to remember. I assume they won’t like me and then I end up sleeping with them.
Physical attraction is subjective. It’s purely based on a person’s individual tastes. Your 10 might be someone else’s 1. Here’s something crazy. Let’s say you see a guy who you think is a 10. He might see himself as a 7 and you a 15. And then you might see someone who you think is a 5, they could see themselves as a 10 and you a 1.
I shit you not I’ve dated girls who I initially thought “Nah she’s going to rip my head off for talking to her. She’s a goddess.” Then I end up talking to these girls for an hour and getting their number. Sometimes these girls don’t even see themselves as a 10 and are shocked that I talked to them because they though I was a 10.
Long story short looks don’t signal what a person’s taste will be
Men love curves!
For myself, what turns me off about fit women is that most of them get so into the fitness game. They forget how to have fun, and everything becomes about health.
It amazes me the women that have this 2% body fat thing going, think they have the perfect body when they look malnourished. Than you have the other end of the spectrum, where a woman over develops her muscles and stops looking feminine.
Which is why so many fit guys go for the chubby curvy girl, she may look flabby to you gym rat girls. But she looks soft and feminine, and build for comfort. Something super fit girls do not look, a hard body looks good but it does not make a man want to hold and squeeze it.
You know how some women like a lean build more like a soccer player or the leaner sort of swimmer (some swimmers are pretty beefy) while others like really big swipe guys? But not that many drool over fat guys?
same idea. Some like thin with huge curves, some like super slim, some like in between.
there are some mild links between income and preference there but it’s ultimately personal taste.
In general, men are less picky than women when it comes to looks. Also, a lot of men out there just like bigger girls because it shows bigger curves and a bigger butt. I personally never understood this fetish like for the woman you used as an example. Definitely not my cup of tea. I would go for her only for a one night stand at best, but a long term relationship, hell no. I go for women who are actually in shape and take care of their physical health just like I am.
was he always ripped or one of those who made a huge transformation? i got opposite experience. most fit guys i know develop a fondness for fit girls even if they didn't have them before probably because of the mutual interest and also just being in the gym environment and being around fit girls a lot
I have no idea where women get the idea that men like skinny girls. I don't think there's been a time in history that the ideal wasn't some version of the hourglass shape like in your picture. The majority of regular men like curvy women, it's just the pedophiles and queers in hollywood who like beanpoles with androgynous features.
Maybe they wanna get in some lifts at home haha. No I do find bigger women appealing as well, it's nothing to do with the "standard" it's just tastes, big booty, big tits and big personality. The lady in the pic probably does also work out as well just differently I would assume, so they wouldn't be complete opposites. There is something about curvy Women I guess.
Because that's who they are attracted to.
I'm attracted to fat/chubby women, skinny women, fit/athletic women, etc.
It all depends on the woman. If a guy tells you that you need to gain weight for him, then forget about him. I would not tell a woman I'm attracted to that she needs to lose weight or one that I'm not attracted to that she needs to gain weight to be attractive.
You women still don't get it.
Curves that's what we want. THE DAMN CURVES. If this ain't there we gone byeeee.
Since mankind start to exist we look and been attracted to one thing, CURVES.
i am fit and ripped as well, and I prefer a thicker woman as well. I love how they adore my body and to me the sexiest thing is to make love to a woman with a mom body. Love all the natural rolls, the big tits and ass, the cellulite. Drives me wild.
That is F'en nasty. I have absolutely no attraction what so ever to a lazy person who looks in the mirror and convinces herself that she doesn't need to make improvements
Men are attracted to women who look soft and like they could carry children; we aren't generally looking for the woman to be able to kill a Yak. Women, on the other hand, want guys who look functionally fit.
Bodybuilders and gym rats are just people. They have preferences like every one of us does.
The guys you mentioned like what they like. What’s the problem?
She might be unfit from that photo.
What we don't like is muffin tops, fat stomachs.
Do women put fat on their thighs, hips, and ass, but guys like that.
Most men know what line is crossed when a woman is unfit.
This photo I don't think unfit, but yes more weight.
You'd be surprised how hard women who take fitness seriously are to impress. Not even bench/squat whatever maxes, but many of them expect a certain whole lifestyle as well.
Maybe its because we have our taste to. Maybe its because we like what we like. If we don't wanna date you then we don't wanna as for me i don't find that women attractive but i do find some BBWs attractive some
Maybe the generic "skinny gym girl" type doesn't do it for every guy out there... imagine that
I really do not see this. I am an avid runner and all of the athletes I know avoid relationships with overweight people. No necessarily because of appearance, but because we are too active for lazy people.
I think the woman on the pic looks overweight with huge thighs and ugly short legs, but Candice Swanepoel is also an anorexic skeleton. Isn't there a middle ground?
Your body type and interests doesn't dictate your preferences and what you find attractive.
Someone get Candice Swanepoel fucking sandwich! That woman is clearly starving.
that's just to show you that when it comes to standards we men are not as egotistical as women are.
for fuck sake, women even expect their hookups to look like greek statues!
I strongly disagree with your statement of most. I consider my self fit and I’d not be attracted to a women like that. She may look better with out that hideous outfit. Wtf is she thinking. Anyway. Get over it.
Lots of men just like those feminine curves, the bigger the better. So if you're fit and still have those curves, you should be okay :D
No idea. Its not attractive to me whats in the photo. I like a woman who can eat and takes reasonably good care of herself and works out.
Since your premise is speculation and unprovable the question is moot.
It seems like some guys like to see more meat/fat on them bones for whatever reason.
Maybe he likes to see someone eat a cake once in a while, since he is not eating it himself.
Most men don't want bodies like that. Even if a fit guy has a fascination, it's just that. They live their lives very differently and wouldn't be able to coexist medium to long term
Different guys, like different things
Sounds like you're jealous?
Well, the woman in this picture is far from fat. She in fact is fucking gorgeous & has a perfect curvy body. She in fact us leaps & bounds sexier to most men body wise than the woman you mentioned.
It depends on the guy, that woman though is hot and curvy tho ^
That girl is not attractive with her thick thighs and huge butt
Because she would do anything in bed than a fit woman would do. The unattractive woman steals men from attractive woman because attractive women won't do shit in both inside and outside the bed.
men and women love to FIX things... we like a challenge.
What a weird creep where you find this guy I don't know what went wrong with them I guess it's freaks need a freak
Well some skinny girls also like chubby guys. So I guess the saying holds true, opposites attract.
I dont think that most men would prefer her. Some black guys might
Some guys like the softness of fat on a woman.
Damn and I thought my ass and hips were big.
I'm not. Can't say why for the others!
They are not. You watch the TV that tells you so
Chubby women are hoooot.
I am not a fan of her body type.
I wasn't aware that they were.
He can be the center of attention.
Sometimes opposites attract.
He is a weirdo.
