Why do boys flirt with me less after I lost weight?

[Anonymous]

I used to wear medium and now I lost some Weight like 10 pounds and now I wear a small.

But I noticed that boys flirt with me less and I’m not super skinny just skinnier than before. Why is this? Boys always say how they prefer skinnier girls than medium sized girls

From my experience, guys never really cared how I looked and I'm not as skinny as I used to be before at all (I gained so much weight) but I workout. Every guy I was with in the past LOVED my butt because it was bigger (half of it was from working out and half of it was from eating), so I don't think all guys prefer skinnier girls. I think a big thing is confidence and how you carry yourself. Just because you lost weight doesn't always mean you are in the best mental state, I felt this way when I lost a lot of weight. I don't think the weight is a huge factor at all times when they flirt.

Maybe its just timing? How long have you been noticing this for?

"Boys always say how they prefer skinnier girls than medium sized girls" this is not true. The MEDIA always portrays thin women as more attractive, but in reality all men are biologically programmed to prefer bigger girls. Some guys are willing to date bigger girls, others are too shy or afraid of the societal pressure to do so.
But so often I see girls loose weight thinking it will make them more attractive, it never does. What you need is self confidence and acceptance of your body.

I wouldn't be able to answer this, if it's not as big a difference as you say then I have no clue.

That is because you losing weight has made you more attractive in their eyes.

Then shouldn't they flirt with me more?

[serious]

Yes.

So why do they flirt with me less?

[serious]

Maybe they think you show less interest of something related to your personality is putting them off.

It can also put you in a shed out of my league category

Guys may be confident with a girl that they do not perceive as "out of their league" but become nervous with a superior grade woman.

ever came to mind that maybe you are more intimidating when you are more fit
