Guys, How do you find a partner when your figure isn’t a 10/10 as a woman?

Like you’re not morbidly obese , but you’re not a Barbie either.

As a gym goer, I do prefer my romantic partners to be fit as well.

But, I’ve dated several girls who were medium or plus-sized.

If our chemistry is really good and our personalities and values make us very compatible, that’s what matters most.

(My shortest relationship was actually with a pretty skinny girl. We just didn’t click. And her looks weren’t going to make up for our lack of chemistry so I broke up with her.)

All of the people I’ve ever dated needed to be able to hold a conversation decently though.

If you can showcase your personality and values and energy through conversation, if you can make that shine through, that’ll be enough for guys who aren’t shallow.

Have you seen who guys go for? Honestly, as long as you have a reasonably sweet personality, put yourself out there, and you don't panic and totally ice out every guy who speaks to you; you'll be able to attract someone.

You don't need to be a 10/10 to find a partner! That's just not necessary. It depends on what kind of partner you're looking for anyway. If you're just looking for the hottest possible guy to fuck... then ok, maybe you do need to focus on your figure.

Otherwise... if you want a relationship? Your figure is really not the factor that's going to determine anything.

No guy is going to think "yea... I like her... but she's not a barbie. I need a barbie"

You find a partner the same way anybody does. Try and talk to guys who are single and looking, and hope that you hit it off. You do not want the guy who only wants you if your figure is a 10/10.

Are you only willing to date a guy with a six-pack, or a 12 inch cock? Probably not.

What you're doing is the equivalent of asking "how does a man with a regular sized cock find a partner"...

This is not a penis-size or abs related problem. That is just looking at the whole thing the wrong way. If you don't like a guy without the abs, or before you find out he's got a huge cock... you don't really like the guy anyway. Right? Same here.

Your figure is not a factor here. As you say, you're not obese. You're a normal girl.

First above all, most men don’t exclusively seek out goddesses and supermodels like the media would have you believe.
Everyone tends to overthink their flaws when trying to figure out their place in the dating scene. Don’t fixate on your insecurities. Focus on your strengths. If you feel like you’re lacking there too, then you have opportunities to improve. Pick up a hobby, join a club, learn to play an instrument, a sport or a game. Take a class, or attend a lecture. Make sure that when you meet someone new and they’re talking to their friends about you after, they’re not describing you by your appearance alone. They’re going to say “the funny one”, “the smart one”, “the guitarist” or whatever. When you fixate on your appearance, you give them nothing else to go by. Be friendly, fun and interesting and people will flock to you. Then you can take your pick.
This advice works the same for females and males.

Hello ma'am I believe you can still find plenty of guys that would like to be with you no matter how you feel about your body there's more than likely a lot of guys around that would be delighted to be with you.

To me finding a partner happened by chance and luck, and frankly could happen anywhere if you're willing to be open with the one you're wanting to be with. And they be open with you

From my perspective as a 23 y. o. 5'8 145 lb average body type guy. Its awfully rare some woman would enjoy to be with a body type like mine but I shrug my shoulders and say what the heck and just test the waters anyway. And so far I was able to find someone that genuinely enjoyed being with me.

But I also do have a bias towards full figured women, simply because a person that is well fed is in general in my opinion better than them starving themselves to less than a meal a day which I always found to be unhealthy really and pushed me away from thinner women. Plus I like eating pretty much anything

Really no matter if your looking online or in person no matter where you're from having a sweet and good relatable character about you and easy going mannerisms can really be a great quality to have to really start and possibly bring home good connections with someone well worth it

Shiprex · Answer

Being larger doesn't mean you can't be fit. A persons character is also more important than their physique. For me I want to be with someone who would share similar passions and interests with me more than be a piece of eye candy. I think it's more about the type of person you are seeking these days that matters. How important is appearance to you? Can you overlook appearance to someone's character and go on that as a fit?

Me personally I go to the gym Monday through Friday to the best of my ability, it's my hobby so I do prefer someone with a nice figure, but her body doesn't have to be nowhere near "barbie doll"... Someone will like you for you, if you truly find that the problem maybe trying doing a little bit of cardio and cut down on your daily food intake as someone who actually wasn't appealing (I'm implying you probably look great) I lost some pounds by some I mean a lot and I feel great and I don't mean only mentally but physically. I'm sure you're just being hard on yourself people are twisted I don't really like this question because there isn't a "factual answer" to this its all personal preference at the end of the day.

No one is saying you need to be a 10/10

But if you’re out of shape to the point of personal insecurity then you ought to get in shape before dating anyone

Not because a better shape will make you more desirable
But because a better outlook on life and self esteem will do it

SotiCoto · Answer

I'm confused. Why would guys need to be a woman to find a partner?  Also it isn't clear what you consider "a 10/10". BMI 30 seems about perfect.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

Advice on figure or weight is hard to give without a visual, but in general, just get to a healthy weight.

You don't need to be a 9-10 just don't be a 1-3. 4's to 8's will do fine.

Ironic_Method · Answer

There are plenty of women that aren't 10/10 that are in relationships. It's not like it's a requirement.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Just have interests beyond celebrity gossip and be a decent person. The guys who are worth the energy will find you.

WonderingManII · Answer

If you have a super friendly and kind personality, you might click with a guy that way.

You don't have to be Barbie, but the average American woman is obese, all you need to do is be better than average and have a good personality and rake reasonably good care of yourself.

Rohaan2020 · Answer

Most women aren’t barbie… not even close…. And honestly for the right guy the figure wouldn’t matter… what matters is the compatibility between you two… and how good as a person you are…
