Question

Finchie40 · Accepted Answer

No but it helps attract more females’ to you, if they find you attractive , You don’t need a ripped cut body but you shouldn’t allow yourself to get completely out of shape , Most girls’ don’t look at guys’ like guys’ look at girls’ most girls’ are drawn to a guys’ personality and heart over anything else for the most part , he has to have some attractive qualities about him for her to be interested , I am not the most in shape guy, I always have been broad and big boned with some muscle and padding on my body , I use to be my own worst enemy thinking girls’ wouldn’t like me because I felt big and fat , but surprisingly I really didn’t have much trouble attracting girls’ , I use to question myself as to what she likes about me , to figure out it was more my personality and the fact she felt protected by me , Most girls’ love having a guy she feels safe and protected by that has a good heart and personality for the most part , I don’t land every girl but I am not shy to try lol

Well almost anyone can have a girlfriend or a boyfriend. But is it the kind of person you want? Being in good shape is something anyone can do unless you have a medical condition that says otherwise. People can get mad when someone judges them over stuff they can’t control, but being in good physical shape is a choice.

Though I think what’s on the inside matters more then what’s on the outside.

You need to be confident with your own self first. You cannot be happy with a girlfriend, or anyone else, if you're not happy with who you are right now.

People don't need to be insanely fit to date. I like a man who treats me properly, shares the same values, is respectful, funny, understanding and actually enjoys spending time with me. nothing i mentioned above has anything to do with his fitness level or physical appearance. That is just icing on the cake.

So long as he is healthy, takes care of his body, eats properly and lives a healthy-ish lifestyle im down to date no matter what his fitness level is. Men don't need to be these sculpted, massive muscley gods. They need to be themselves, comfy in their own skin, confident and happy in life to share it with someone new. Don't put so much pressure on yourself! 😊

jennifer_bloom · Accepted Answer

Replace the word good looking with confident and normal. Any normal looking guy with a good heart and a job is able to attract a good woman if his visual standards are low enough. If he wants a girl that looks like Candace Swanepoel, he might have to wait a long time.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Usually, whatever attribute the asker is lacking is the one that the asker assumes girl’s are “really” looking for. The truth is that what most girls are looking for is a guy is assertive and confident without being arrogant or cocky.

Avicenna · Answer

LOL, not necessarily. I see plenty of overweight people with partners.

AviatorTom · Answer

No, but it helps. Helps even better if she has a good looking body.

Sushi2405 · Answer

Honestly, a good sense of humor goes a long way. I swearrr... I have had exceptionally handsome boyfriend before but he had noo sense of humor. Also he was boring. At first or in your teenage time you get attrated to pretty faces but if someone is mature enough, they will look for the personality and character the guy holds. Also attraction cause merely by someone's handsomely face is temporary. But when it's the personality that make you look attractive, it goes a very long way. I hope you got my point sweetie.

Bricealan · Answer

Not from what I see in public these days, with the guy with the huge pot belly walking with the equally fat girlfriend, but I just shake my head in disbelief. I, for one, work my ass off to stay slim and toned and it is no easy job, at my age, and it takes hard work.

That said, I have men in my Yoga Class, that Supposedly' are working hard, but are still over weight with a huge spare tire waist-line.

Not sure if my weight and routine will develop a girlfriend for me, as I just recently dumped a long term girlfriend who was 'bone thin"

MrExperienced · Answer

Absolutely not, you need confidence, charisma, and the ability to not only listen but to make them talk about themselves and you gotta be able to make her laugh! Last year I decided to have an experiment in the poly world after a very nasty divorce. I lost enough weight to have some confidence and I asked two young ladies who were already super close to be my girlfriends and to try a throuple relationship and to my surprise they said yes and thought it was a great idea. It didn’t last very long, maybe 3 weeks but here I went from feeling like the biggest reject in the world after my ex walked out on her family to going to bed with two super hot chics who were both 12 years younger than me! You gotta believe in yourself and that’s were you must start.

CourtneyJane2 · Answer

Put it simply: If you're obsese and resemble Sloth from The Goonies, you have no business pursuing a girl who looks as if she should be on a runway somewhere. Stay in your lane.

If you want the hot girl lose the gut, get your teeth fixed, workout to get fit, work on your social skills, move out of your mom's, get your money straightened out and get a career (not a job) that gets you at least a decent wage and allows a social life.

Cute_Miss_Laura · Answer

No! Clearly you’ve never step foot in a Walmart! There are some wildly obese men (and women) scooting around on their mobility scooters, b/c they’re too fat to walk, but they still have a significant other. That’s why I always say, I don’t care what you think, there is literally always  someone  out there for you!

Siri137 · Answer

No, of course not. If that's the case, then why do I see so many fat couples when I go out? You would only need a "good looking body" to go out with someone else who had a "good looking body", because she's a gym freak, and like attracts like.

ZackBan · Answer

No but it definitely makes your job a little easier.

I personally was never shredded like that always had some fat on me, but I do go to the gym and try to keep my overall shape more fit than fat.
But even at my worst I could get girls.
Admittedly it's easier the more fit you are

Bondage_Bruce · Answer

I'm here on Girls as Guys diving into all sorts of kinks, and I think there are far more important attributes than a good body, like mental fortitude, emotional resilience, intellectual curiosity, and above all, willingness to serve and obey My commands without hesitation. If someone can become a human toilet at the snap of my fingers, or take an internal egg probe at the drop of a hat, then they indeed become a valuable asset worthy of My attention.

serious · Answer

No, not necessarily but yes if the man is muscular, has a great physique that it would definitely be an added advantage.

In my view what matters is how strong the man is mentally, like if he can take tough decisions and has a strong personality or not.

lilyanony1 · Answer

No I don't like high maintenance boyfriends.

I prefer guys that like fitness for health not for getting women.

In my dating life I've dated guys from buff to chubby. And they all had issues with their body from being egotistical to having low confidence.

It's better to find a confident partner, in my opinion. They're far better to look at.

Seinna · Answer

You can have a girlfriend with a bad looking body if you have a bad looking body yourself. It also depends on how good or bad your body is and your other qualities as well as the things you want in your partner. If you just want a partner, any partner then you will find one, but it's always a matter of lowering your expectations and not many people are willing to do that.

Man-O-Metal · Answer

Well, define "good looking". There's different categories that people go for. Athletic fit, slim, slim thick, thick. Obviously everyone should be trying to live a heathly lifestyle, but no one is telling you that you must be athletic fit. If you want to be that fit, that's up to you. Same for the other categories.

Cutegirl06 · Answer

I look for a guy who is kind and considerate. While I like a guy who has a flat belly, I think that is just too much. Is it even real? It doesn't hurt to have a boyfriend who is in good shape and looks cute it's not completely necessary.

Yazu-chan · Answer

No. Personally? I’m a face person. I have a pretty face so I look for my partner to have a pretty face as well. Similarly, my body type is about average so I’m fine with someone with an average body or chubbier. If they’re fit, that’s fine too. HOWEVER, if they don’t have a pretty face.. then the body has to compensate for it lol. Generally though, pretty face, good personality, morals, good job, car, and a stable living situation and you’re good to go!

alice55 · Answer

Yes and no, it depend on what else you have to offer be it money or great personality something need to be there, also depend on the age young girl usually go for looks (they don't go for money, they would just use the guy money have some fun and they get away with an attractive guy with who they would share the money with).

patrick994 · Answer

Yes, you need to, if you want to improve your chances of getting a girlfriend, you have to take care of your appearance to the utmost until you become the best version of yourself, of course it is also important to work on your personality, but aesthetics take the lead.

mobiusforniner · Answer

No. But women want a man who’s at least aware of his own hygiene and grooming. Like, nobody wants an unkept slob. I know we say outward appearance doesn’t (or shouldn’t) matter, but first impressions are important. If one doesn’t take care of themselves on the outside, what is she to think about how he takes care of anything (or anyone) else?

FreyaRed · Answer

Yes and no. Yes, if you're just an narcissist dumbass with intellect of an ameba. No, if you have an interesting personality, mixed with humor and general knowledge.

college-student2021 · Answer

No necessary, does it help yeah like being handsome helps but at the end, confident attitude, being clean , dressing good and learning social skills will be the 80% in getting a girlfriend. I seen the ugly guys pick slightly above average to beautiful woman.

But I highly recommend every man to get a good body not for a woman but for himself. It will boost your self esteem and confidence.

SotiCoto · Answer

"Good looking" is subjective. If anything is to be judged from that emote, your idea of "good looking" is fundamentally different to mine.
So the answer is no. Because even if you don't regard your own body as looking good, someone else might.

_piotr · Answer

I wish women were physically attracted to men. But as you see in answers they do not care about male bodies. They are indifferent to it. They are unable to feel sexual attraction like males do. On one hand it seems not that bad if you are lazy, because it does not motivate you to look good, but on the other it is horrible, as you can't be ever physically desired by the other gender -women. So it is actually very sad.

HaleyWalker · Answer

No, but I don't think that gives anybody the excuse to be a lazy, unhygienic or not care about their health.

It doesn't mean you have to have muscles or anything just you know take care of yourself don't sit around all day.

AmyHew1tt · Answer

Face is more important usually. I mean, the bottom line is that we're all attracted to fit bodies, and they can help. But I'd rather have a guy with an average body and above average face, than an average face and above average body.

WhitneySnow · Answer

No. Plenty of average guys have girlfriends. They aren’t usually super hot, but once in a while they are. And even if they’re not, I’m sure their boyfriends love them just as much.

ICanSmellTheCosmos · Answer

At least enough to be attracted to you, yes. But women aren't as picky about appearances as men think they are (and vice versa). There is what women want and what men *think* that women want. 80% don't care that much so long as the guy practices decent hygiene and tries to have some style.

r0gerdatsteve · Answer

Brother,  my opinion. I was rejected cause I was too skinny. My friend was rejected cause he was too bulky. Someone I know was rejected cause he was too "filled with muscles"  The right girl will like you regardless of who you are and how you are. It's a generalized question

Twalli · Answer

At a distance on a good day in the right lighting, I might be able to pass as a 6 if I have a baseball cap on. Otherwise, I am lower. I do have a girlfriend though. I didn't when I was in better shape though. Granted I couldn't wear a baseball cap and was in highschool.

JacobJordan · Answer

Nope. Most good women prefer personality over looks. Looks are a bonus but not necessarily a requirement or a hard line

RossyBoi · Answer

No, you don't.

You can be extremely fat, with sweaty, squelching, drooping man boobs, a bald scratchy head, a massive itchy beard, a huge muffin top beer belly, and stink because you've not showered in six months.

And women would still be queuing up to date you.

Amara_09 · Answer

Not everyone is superficial. There’s more than just a good looking body.

Perhaps, being healthy, exercising is a better way to phrase it. Everyone has a body that is good looking for someone ….. can’t put all guys in one box

CalmUntilAbused · Answer

That or a loaded wallet. Preferably both. Unless You're a serial killer, then You're going to receive loads of fanmail from women at Your death row cell, regardless of Your looks or the contents of Your wallet.

Haraklus · Answer

Not at all. I've had beautiful women pursue me when I was fat AF and generally not in good health at all. On the other hand, I've also had terrible periods of loneliness when I was in borderline fitness model condition. It does help, though.

TomBuchanan · Answer

No Sir. A good looking bank account will do it 100% of the time. 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of women will marry the hunchback of Notre Dame and fuck him like a slut if he's got 6 zeroes in the bank account,

teeheee · Answer

Depends on what kind of girl you are looking to date. If she takes having good looks very seriously (you can tell if she takes care of her looks a lot), then she is more likely to like a guy with a good looking body. But it all depends on the circumstance and the guy's personality. Girls care A LOT about the guy's personality, including his humor, his values/ethics, and how he treats you. It's all about balance about looks and personality, as no one is perfect. Pros vs Cons kinda thing.

A_Nihilist · Answer

I know what you mean, but no you don't need a physically fit/toned body to have a girlfriend.

There are many many women out there who love hairy dad bods.

It's all about their type and yours.

If being built like a soldier is something YOU want. Go for it.

If you're doing it to match the preferences of society and strangers. You'll probably end up miserable.

thatshydork · Answer

No. Even if you did, why would you want a person who only cares about your looks to be your girlfriend anyway?

Girlsontop · Answer

Depends there are a lot of girls who look for a fit body, then there are girls who look for a good personality, and then there a girls like me who look for both.

Static_In_The_Attic · Answer

Nowadays you don’t have to be good looking!

Ksds1423 · Answer

To answer that question, here's a question: WHAT KIND OF GIRL DO U WANT TO BE YOUR girlfriend?
If you want a IG type, a baddie, a OF actress, etc, then yes. If u want just a genuine girl who don't care, 1. No, she won't and 2. Maybe lower your visual expectations. Be realistic

WintersDaughter · Answer

No. Didn't you hear? Dad bods were voted the most sexy type of body.  I like my men with a little extra, because I like to cuddle and I can't cuddle a rock.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Most men are not noticably muscular and plenty have girlfriends.. Some really nice looking ones are that.. So not at all.. In fact I'd say women feel a bit more comfortable booing up less muscular guys only to slobber at those who do..

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

No. Plenty of unfit guys have girlfriends. But getting exercise is good for you and your body, so don't stop yourself from it if that's what you want for yourself.

blueonblack22 · Answer

As a life long athletic guy I can tell you this is very low on most women’s priority list. I exercise for my own confidence and mental health first. Not to get female attention.

dustybiker2 · Answer

If you take care of yourself you feel good. When someone feels good they are happier and more attractive. So in a sense, yes. But realistically, of course not.

strateguy632 · Answer

muscles no! not like picture. but for that you do need "good looks": trim beard or shave, trim hair not long nor neglect. clean nice clothing.

slatyb · Answer

No, you don't. I got divorced and had no trouble getting girlfriends with my dad bod. What worked? Paying attention to them when they were talking.

curiousmandy · Answer

To each their own, it’s all in the eye of the beholder I think

Anastasia_542 · Answer

If he's so hot I will more easier sleep with him on the bed.

Apple1996 · Answer

Nah but good looking bodies are always gonna help

Anonymous · Answer

I knew a girl that was attracted to an overweight guy, but she was constantly worried that he would destroy her floating toilet and bed. The anxiety caused issues but the biggest issue was that he was greedy and selfish...

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

No but being in shape helps a whole lot. Not just for attracting, but also pleasing her inside and outside the bedroom

Anonymous · Answer

not really i know a lot of guys who are fat or too skinny and managed to pull gorgeous women, if you have a good personality, most girls won't care about your looks especially if they're looking for something serious

OfMiceandMen · Answer

I think it helps with the initial attractiveness, but if there's nothing upstairs or no drive then the sports car is just an empty shell.

molonski2 · Answer

It certainly helps , and the body is something you can control , so it says a lot about your attitude.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Not necessarily, but when everything else is equal, she’ll take the guy who also has the hot bod, 10/10.

whiskeyontherocks · Answer

Don’t need it but definitely makes it easier to find dates.
I think height is a bigger factor then financial security then looks/fitness.
Attraction is a spectrum than your better off not thinking about.

LiamS95 · Answer

I don't think so, a mature thinking woman would be looking for a guy that is considerate, kind, loyal, confident and of course there does have to be some physical attraction but a guy doesn't have to be ripped to be attractive.
