NO. I've been everything from fit to plump. While I did get far more attention when fit and when skinny, the extra attention was not from quality men. It was from shallow men. I could not find a single decent guy when I was smaller! It got overwhelming, and just made for increased heartache. You end up in the predicament of wondering how meany of the extra men even see who you are on the inside vs whether they just like your look. Every guy wants to stick it in, but that does not mean any guy actually wants the woman they are trying to stick it in. It's all lust and no substance.
I've found that when I am a bit plump, I still attract the quality men I would have while fit. That is because those quality men are taking the time to see who I actually am as a person. A less fit body can ward away shallow people just looking to win a trophy to brag about. I'm not saying being super plump is a good idea, but not being perfect is a good way to ward off tools. Then, it's easy enough to be perfect AFTER obtaining a great guy. Awesome way to reward him for being amazingly wonderful!
I use the same idea with makeup. I try to be as natural as possible when dating, so I know the guy wants the real me flaws and all and not just me at my best.30 Reply

Define what you mean by better? Not everybody is attracted to the same thing and you tend to sometimes be who you attract. That includes physically which is mostly your face, not your body. Your face tells everything about you that rarely genetically changes.

But I would not want to be in a relationship with them. When it comes to dating i like a woman who is fit or chubby with nice boobs. I am a black man. Often times its hard for black men to date slim and fit white girls. Many black men date chubby or fat white girls. Part of it is racial hierarchies where white women who are fit trade up in societal status to date a financially more well off white man. Part of it is because black men tend to like big booty. So they are more attracted to a fat woman with big booty rather than a slim white girl without curves.
So for sex? Fat women can get sexy muscular guys in bed. Guys fuck anything almost. But for relationships? Slim chics have a huge status advantage.00 Reply

+1 yI think a more fit girl will tend to attract higher status guys - most people would probably view that as "better" guys, but that's largely on based on semi-subjective opinion. I think more fit women will tend to be able to have more options for who they want to date on average than women who aren't as fit.
The guys they choose tend to be the guys who are generally better looking, and who are genetically better looking (not always the same thing, but often), they tend to make more money, have better opportunities to stay fit themselves... have better connections and earn more, etc.03 Reply- +1 y

Hmmm? "Not true at all." Do you mean you think my opinions have absolutely no basis in fact? or just a part of it? What in particular do you disagree with?
I don't understand what you mean by "just the money thing." Are you saying you disagree with my opinion that these "higher status guys" tend to make more money and have on average better connections?" Or that you think fit women tend to look for guys who have money? or that they don't look for that at all /hardly ever? - +1 y

447 opinions shared on Dating topic. Being fit is a plus, but it doesn't mean you attract a better guy. You can still attract a bad guy. Also, looking good can also repel guys with your looks, because they are afraid to approach you, they think they won't stand a change with you, because you are out of his league.
So, being fit has its pros and cons when it comes to dating. Most confident guys are players (not all of them). Looks doesn't attract necessarily a good guy, you still have to trust yoru gut that you'll pick teh good guy.30 Reply
+1 yBetter? No.
More, Yes.
Well, better in terms of staying fit themselves and being healthier. Physically I guess you could say that you get more acsess to healthier guys that have higher fitness standards.
But that doesn't mean they have better mental perspectives at all times. Even if it's easier to be healthy mentally if you have physical health, there's still plenty of beautiful assholes. So if it's better or not that entierly depends on what you are looking for.
Generally for guys I think it is..
Good looks -VS- Personality.
Most of the time..
So if you're thinking about getting fit, there's no downside to it. And you will have more options. But more importantly, if you want a good longterm relationship.. never stop improving the mind and your open-mindedness. Get a broad perspective and improve on all fronts. Practice humility and understanding. Aquire a hunger of intellectual stimulance and keep it well fed.
Physical beauty fades eventually.01 Reply- +1 y
--What's a better guy in my opinion?
Non-lazy
Respectfull
Caring
Not self-centered
Useful
Responsible
Assertive (not dominant)
Understanding
Open-minded
Being a fit guy might mean he's non-lazy but not necessarily.
Most of the things that makes a good person is about the mind.
But that is not to say that outward looks doesn't matter. It does, because we are all still animals. There's no denying we as human beings that value shallow, physical attractive features, like a fit body.

Anonymous(25-29)+1 yHonestly, fit girls attract all types of guys but she will be a lot more likely to get a fit guy if she is also fit because then their lifestyles and hobbies would align as well. Also I personally find the fit type girls attractive not because of their bodies but mainly because of the fact that being fit communicates to me that you are someone that exercises and puts a lot of effort into a healthy mind and body which could translate to happiness etc.. Basically all of the super fit people I’ve met usually have a lot of things going for them and tend to be pretty happy people. The same could be said for super fit guys as well.

Not really. I’ve been on both sides of the spectrum and to be honest when I was bigger, I mostly attracted guys that were genuinely nice and didn’t care about looks and saw me for me.
Now I attract mainly ones that wanna have fun for the night, they don’t pay that much attention to my personality, if at all.
I also find that smaller body makes men cut you a lot of slack.
To sum it up, you would get more attention if you’re fit, not necessarily the attention you want.21 Reply
+1 yI don't think so. Being fit may attract more people, not better people. Probably they attract other fit people. There's always an exception. My ex-boyfriend who is a trainer now is married to a chubby lady. She could be better, but not because of her fitness.
In general, in my area being fit is nothing. Being skinny is more attractive. Men prefer weak looking women than fit and strong, esp. younger ones. Older men like all available women.22 Reply- +1 y

@rebeliouse I hope so. though I haven't found any in real life. Lol.
Well, I can be fairly certain, at least in broad terms, a fit girl is going to attract a fit guy. GENERALLY fit people will have more in common, or at least that one thing in common, and that’s going to help form the basis of a relationship.
But that was not your question. I’m going to go for the easy option and say how good a person is (if we can even judge this) is subjective. Defining why people are attracted to each other is not simple lol. And then add in individual tastes and it’s almost impossible.
Do intelligent men attract better girls?
Do sensitive women attract better men?
You can apply the same question to many positive traits.00 Reply

She is in a fight with her previous boyfriend for not marrying her/not delivering on her (probably excessive) expectations and just needs a punching bag or an affair for rebound (nothing wrong for two people on a rebound to help each other, by the way)
Fit and collected - most certainly. It may not be enough if she expect me to cook and clean and provide all the income - but if she works as well, or is happy to cook and clean and raise children/drive them to school and activities - most definitely, that's a 9.
A 10 is that but with real commitment to bettering her new family with me, not working for her parents/using my abilities to better someone else she is more loyal (or indebted, without saying it specifically) to.01 Reply- +1 y
The trouble with girls who get fit it that, because it takes effort, they start to set totally unreal expectations as to whom they can find, along the lines of - ok, now I look good, I want a great looking single guy who doesn't want children, just to be my fuck and show off buddy, who earns 500K per year - and those men either don't exist at all, or if they do earn big bucks, are short middle eastern drugs dealers.
I wouldn't say better guys. I think it's more accurate to say,
"Fit girls have access to a bigger dating pool than girls who aren't fit."
There is a group of guys who are actually decent men but they simply aren't attractive to women who aren't fit. Fit women gains access to them.

Depends on what you see as 'better' but if you mean, fit guys, the chance is I think bigger because people look for someone with similarities, and for someone really into fitness, finding someone to share that passion with, would be best, so fit guys be after fit women. But there are also fit guys who just like the more voluptuous ones,
20 Reply459 opinions shared on Dating topic. It can be mathematically proven. They attract all people more by default since being "fit" is seen as healthy and aesthetically pleasing to most people. Since they attract more people overall they should attract better guys because "better" guys is a subgroup of "guys" which is a subgroup of "people".

00 ReplyDepends on how you define better. If you Include looks, yes. If you are fit you are more likely to attract someone else who is. It also depends on what you are starting with. If you are already attractive it won't make much difference. There are probably just as many good guys who are fit and who aren't, so it depends on personal preference, but it is always a good idea to work out regardless.

Same, im into fitness bc it makes my brain healthier n I love to cook.. n let's face it, some good food packs a ton of calories.. especially bc im huge on baking sweets... I don't endure everyday.. like last night, I made chocolate cupcakes with a caramel filling and a cream cheese frosting bc cooking is therapeutic to me.. I didn't eat it though... but there are times that I do. I might have one this evening however I am on my way to the gym. My point is, I work out so that I don't get out of shape however, I have no interest in people who are gym nuts! I've dated 2 people in the past that I met at the gym who both had these rock hard abs n were so friggin fit... one it was all they talked about n two I didn't like their hard bodies on top of.. I really don't understand how people can be into that.

I think they will attract guys that are more into gym like muscular and fit guys. Now... Generally they care more about appearance than other things.

My definition of a better guy is someone who has discipline, commitment, ambitions and the willingness to do the things they said they are going to do, not just someone who is all talk.
People like that ARE going to expect someone to live up to similar standards.
They may not be a more moral or a nicer person, but if you want someone who meets a higher standard, you have to expect them to also have higher standards.
Someone who is ok with their partner being lazy and unkempt (either physically or some other way) probably isn't the most diligent person either.
So, yes.
Being of a higher standard is going to attract men of a higher standard.
