Does being “fitter” and more in shape equate to being more attractive in your opinion?

Absolutely! Not just from a physical perspective, but it shows he cares about his health and well being.
Hell, I used to be overweight- guys wouldn't look at me, or the ones that did just saw me as a friend, tomboy...
Then I started to exercise, eat better, and take better care of my body. I lost weight, my self-esteem improved, and I have slightly better confidence-
Men still don't look at me 🤦
Okay, I'm probably one of those exceptions where you can be fit, healthy, and STILL be considered unattractive. And that's okay...
That's why I tell people you can look like a model, be a "10" in terms of looks, yet someone out there still doesn't think you're attractive. It's just based on what people look for in a partner.

Definitely. People ALWAYS look better when they're in shape vs. when they're out of shape in my opinion (I'm talking about comparing the same person while in shape vs. while out of shape). Plus, it usually breeds confidence, which makes someone overall more attractive as well.
Obviously, people have different preferences and some may prefer an out of shape person with a great face over an in shape person with an okay or below average face, but some may also prefer the opposite. in my opinion though, getting in shape is one of the best things you can do to make yourself as attractive as you can possibly be, plus it enables you to keep looking good for a longer period of time, as typically not taking care of oneself leads to less graceful aging (more than just looks-wise, too) than those who keep on top of their health and fitness.

Not always, some overweight women get lucky and their fat goes exactly where it should and looks great, but 9 times out of 10 fitter is better.
Especially for guys, body positivity don't work for men, if we don't except. big women we're monsters, but then the same women say fat men are just fat and don't deserve a chance, so yeah for guys women have made it clear they are shallow and expect a man to be fit, acting like a dude having abs is easy, abs are a lot of fucking work.

For women, yes, despite all those who say they like a dad bod, it's only if that Dad looks like Kratos from God of War, for men, not so much. There are those who are picky and only look at skinny/fit women, but generally guys will have a much wider range of body types that they find appealing.

Initially I think one will be more attractive to others. If you are physically fit, it does show that you are likely to care about your health, not just doing it for vanities sake, although that does happen. I donāt think it necessarily means that you are going to have better chances in a long-term relationship, because thereās far more involved in making that leap than physical attractiveness.
I think we all have high and low points of physical fitness in our lives, especially us ladies to give birth to children :-). My husband seems to have kept the same athletic physique since he was 20 years old, which blows my mind. Heās lucky. -
For me, yes it is true.. well, ofc you will be more attractive than the people who donāt go to the gym or whatever.. but, thatās not the only thing that makes you look attractive.. because you can again, explore yourself with other things that make you attractive. For example, youāre smart, it is attractive.. you can play music, yes itās attractive.. or even youāre good listener, thatās also attractive.. so my point is,, it is true that being fitter will make u an attractive person but that it not the only thing that does āYouāre attractiveā.. so find something youāre good with it and do it..

You're talking about strictly sexual attraction, so NO!
- Plenty of women that look better unfit than fit.
- Men look better fit
I've seen fit women and unfit women and thought to myself WOW the unfit one is hotter and it wasn't because of their face.
That being said, if you lack an attractive personality, you can negate much of the effect your fit body has. -
For women. Yes. Hence why guys have referred to women with subpar faces but who are physical fit as butter faces. Keep in mind the term does not mean she is not attractive.
For men. No. Women are far more genetic focus than men are and care more about things men have no control of. Such as facial aesthetics, race, height and clavicle width.
A man can be in great shape but if he is not the right race, height, facial aesthetic or even build for women he will not be seen as attractive physically no matter how hard he works out. - 2.7K opinions shared on Dating topic.
It depends on one's definitions of 1. fitness. 2. attractive
A female can be "fit" in the bodybuilding sense of the world, and still not be a female I would consider "attractive", except maybe for her reasonably cute face.
Fit? Mmmmmm, not to me. Wouldn't "fit" in my "car". -
yeah, well, the average person is overweight in the western world, so just being normally build and in good healthy shape is more attractive to me. No need for six pack or so, but I am a relatively active person so I like someone who can keep up, at least while I am still young and want to explore with a partner :)

Being fitter definitely contributes to attractiveness. In the long run, it won't overcome things I dislike about a girl's facial beauty, personality, or values, but the sex appeal is definitely alluring.
But if she gets to the point of using steroids, looking like a professional bodybuilder, or having really cut abs, at that point I dislike the level of fitness, though I respect the hard work. - 793 opinions shared on Dating topic.
Let's put it this way... When I'm bulking and I put fat pounds to gain more muscle, I get less attention from biitches. I guess it's because my face looks bloated all the time. But when I cut down to see striations, cuts and definition in my muscles (as well as more chiseled facial features), getting laid is so damn easy, especially with Cougars and MILFs, it's like throwing fish into a barrel it's so gawdam easy.

absolutely. it's not just "my opinion". we are genetically programmed to look for the litteral "fittest possible partner" to procreate with. because that ensures the survival of the species. the only reason you would go fo a partner that's opposite of that is cause you're opposite of that yourself and can't attract a fitter partner.

Yes and no, personality is way better to me. I've known really attractive guys that turned out to be jerks as I got to know them, but average guys who got more attractive to me as I got to know them.
Attractiveness is a mix of both for me. - 2.1K opinions shared on Dating topic.
Of course but there's a certain point where it goes too far, if they look too good, they're likely not working a real job as they couldn't possibly workout that much while being a contributing member of society and they're likely extremely fake.
A big booty is hot but if she's a stuck up, lazy pot smoking bitch, yeah I'm running away -
To an extent. A fit woman is attractive, but me personally, I donāt like a lot of muscle on them. Iām not looking for a body builder type by any means. No disrespect to the women that do that and the guys that like them, that body style just isnāt for me.

No.
Most girls prefer tall and thin guys instead tall and athletic ones. Of course an athletic and tall guys doesn't complain because he is the guy who brings lot of enjoyable o-moments in bed room, but girls find him a little bit vain and less suitable for monogamous long term relationship, despite girls despise men who neglect themselves.
There is no logic in this behavior, but who really cares if it works for both parties well. - 559 opinions shared on Dating topic.
yes.. to me it does..
men focus on Sight Issues..
a shapely fit woman gets noticed more than a chubby woman wearing a bikini.
facts.. - 2.1K opinions shared on Dating topic.
Physically, yes. But your character matters just as much to guys who aren't controlled by emotions & sex. A lot of women look great but failed to develop an attractive character so they can never get a serious relationship with a quality man.

Yes it does, and being skinny is not "fit." Most slim people are out of shape and their physical abilities are pathetic. They often are just as bad as very fat people when it comes to physical performance.
-
Yes absolutely. But honestly the attraction benefits definitely go much further for women than men. Donāt get me wrong I know most women would like a fit guy. But for guys itās only one of over 100 factors women look for. For women itās literally one of only four factors men look.
I exercise more for mental health benefits nowadays vs just to look good. - 323 opinions shared on Dating topic.
well if ya really discect what attractive means it really means fuckable attractive dont necessarily mean sexy and ill explain what i mean in terms of the difference between the 2 sexy is a spirit and intrinsic qualities that make both sexes irresistable but to directly answer your question yea
-
Depends on what you mean. Society's ridiculous fitness standard is extremely unhealthy, so no to that. But as far as actually healthy, yeah, that is a little more attractive. Appearance doesn't affect my attraction to people very much though
