Would you rather have a girlfriend 10 pounds overweight or 10 pounds under weight?

[kadavista]

I have some friends that struggle to gain weight and some friends that look at food and they gain it. I was just wondering which guys like better

[Undoubtable]

If the question is whether I would be with a girl who struggles to gain or struggles to lose weight, I'd be with someone who struggles to gain weight. I myself have a nightmarish time storing some calorie reserves for manoeuvers, I can eat 6000 calories a day and barely gain two pounds in two weeks, and after a week of cardio or long Marches it's all gone. So binging on food together in the weekends without worrying and counting calories would be great. I'd hate to place double orders while my girlfriend has to eat a small salad or something, that just gets ridiculous.

If the question is simply whether I'd be with someone 5 kg above or 5 kg below, I'd answer that a few kilos aren't really noticeable. As long as they're healthy and fit, I don't mind either way.

10 pounds is actually very noticeable. I love 10 pounds and people noticed immediately

[Undoubtable]

Really? Strange, I've had girlfriends moan about losing this and gaining that, and I barely notice a difference. Of course, my recent girlfriends were so much taller and stronger than other women, they would put valkyries to shame. I'm sh*t at noticing changes in them anyway, though, they had to all but whip me with their hair to make me notice a new haircut.

10 pound overweight easily! if we are going by bmi ratings here to determine weather a girl is overweight or not than 10 pound overweight is nothing, bmi takes sh*t all into account (proportions, muscle ratio to fat etc) overweight would not even look in the slightest bit bad. 10 pound underweight on the other hand...

[cun7n1nja]

I'm already overweight, but my guy is more attracted to bigger girls, and while I wouldn't want to gain 10 pounds, he wouldn't care at all if I did, lol. I don't gain OR lose weight very easily though. I've stayed pretty much where I'm at, give or take 5-10 pounds since I was like 15.

I'm Ten pounds overweight...im 5/5 155...i need to be 140-145...but I exercise...and eat the right type of food and I can't loose weight...people don't call me obese...but I won't say I'm skinny..but luckily most fat isn't on my stomach.

I would rather be 10 lbs under weight and I know my boyfriend probably wouldn't be with me if I was bigger

[Opinion Owner]

downies for telling you the truth and not telling you what you want to hear?

and really? overweight people are healthy? since when?

[madmisskelly]

Thats really sad that he wouldn't be with you if you were bigger. That's actually not a good thing to know about your boyfriend. Granted, I know there is the idea that you keep taking care of yourself but dude, its 10 pounds, yak now? To just be able to drop someone because they gain 10 pounds is not a good quality to have in a boyfriend.

I don't mind because this is the same thing I want for myself. I would love myself less if I was bigger. I'm a size 2 and I love the way my body looks. And I work hard to maintain that size.

But I see where you're coming from madmisskelly. And I wasn't being completely serious about him leaving me if I gained a few pounds. That was a joke answer with some truth, that my body does matter

[kawa450]

10 pounds over weight. That sounds more healthy than under weight

[currannaaach]

how is overweight healthier than underweight?

They are both 10 pounds away from the accepted weight range for their height.

[kawa450]

Thinner people are actually more likely to get diseases like high blood sugar. I don't know why and being under weight is never a good thing. Average would be ideal but otherwise over is better

[Little-Hippie]

Under.

10 lbs over makes a bigger visual difference to me than 10 lbs under.

[WeaponZero]

Over. It's hard to keep a figure that draws attention to the body parts that separate men from women when you're skin and bone.

[rocksongwriter]

I'd say that it's easier to see the body parts that separate men from women on a skinny woman than one who's not. Extreme example: men who are 200 lbs. overweight and women who are 200 lbs. overweight look the same.

[WeaponZero]

In your extreme case I would have to agree with you. But women who are ~10-30lbs over often have an accent to it. Model-thin women usually have a look that makes it appear they haven't really gone through puberty yet, IMO. There are none of the curves, I think, that define a woman's body.

[Red_Raconteur]

I'm going to say 10 pounds under, but that's a biased answer.

[sa230e]

Doesn't matter. If I absolutely have to choose, I think I'd go with 10 pounds overweight.

[Anonymous]

Under. And even then, he can be 20 lbs overweight. If she us 10lbs overweight, her boyfriend must be 50lbs overweight.

[AdamBH]

under, but ofc I'd rather have her the ideal weight :)

[SmoothBlue17]

lol question kinda funny.. but first I would wanna know her initial weight, then I could say.

[currannaaach]

Under

Just a personal preference

[Anonymous]

You can never be too wealthy or too thin.

[rocksongwriter]

I somewhat agree with that.

[Shaun]

Ten pounds over.

[RoyJones]

over :)

[Shadoww]

under
