Would you prefer a girl underweight? or over?

Question

I'm not saying obese, I just meant to be over what you usually wanthow much do you usually want your girls to weigh? so its not embarrassing that you can't even pick her up or anything...

OK first, let's establish that there's an average girl. She's not skinny, but she isn't fat either. Let's rank them 4, 5 and 6 on the weight scale, because you can sort of go up and down a bit here without being considered thin or chubby, but you can still see a difference between girls in this category. Girls like these can easily get attention from guys, unless their face isn't all that pretty.

Next, let's take those girls from Fashion TV and magazines who walk on the catwalk and pose for pictures. They are SLIGHTLY underweight, but they aren't anorexic. They would be rank 3. On this same category, but on the opposite end, we have girls who are... a bit chubby. They have a bit of extra fat on their arms and stomach, but they can't really be considered fat. They're rank 7. Some guys like girls like these, others don't. For some, it doesn't really matter, because they'd have the same chances as 4, 5 and 6 girls in getting their attention.

Now we have anorexic girls, who have barely any meat on under their skin, and whose ribs are showing. They're rank 2 and 1. On the other end, we have girls who are so fat, they have trouble exercizing. They're rank 8, 9 10. I reckon 1 would be a girl so skinny, that she's too weak to walk on her own, and 9 would be a girl so fat, that she has trouble climbing to the first floor using the stairs. Rank 10 girls aren't able to walk. You don't really see a lot of these girls, because they usually have disorders and get treated for them. Guys usually aren't attracted to these sort of girls.

With that established, if you then ask me to pick between a 3 girl and a 7 girl, I would pick the 7 girl. Basically, I'd pick a chubby girl over a typical fashion model anyday.

Now if you ask me to pick between a 2 and a 8 girl, it would the depend a lot on their other features, such as face and hair, but I'd usually go for the 2. Anything other than that wouldn't matter, because I just wouldn't be interested. :I

As for how much I usually want my girls to weigh, I'd say it depends on their height. There is no specific weight category. If I can pick them up, that would be wonderful! But if I can't, it wouldn't be that big of a deal for me. Plus sometimes it wouldn't even be her fault. xD

BTW, before anyone smacks me for categorizing girls like this, I'd just like to say guys can also fit into those 10 categories. I only established them like this so that I could answer the question.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it seems to me that you would fall upon the slightly chubby side... but barely. My friend is 5 feet tall and weights 130lbs, and I think her body is so hot. :x I mean yeah she is sort of chubby but like, you can't really notice any actual FAT on her body, especially her arms.

So if you want to lose 10lbs, go ahead - I don't think it would be too much. The thing is, I don't think it would make that much of a difference since it wouldn't really matter so much. I seriously doubt I'd be able to tell if a girl lost or gained 10lbs.

Do not obsess over your weight, it will just make you sick. Women who say that being under is better is just because they are unhappy with themselves, and obviously insensitive and unintelligent. They are giving in to the stereotype that America has set before us. You are wonderful just the way you are. Believe that and then you will be even more attractive.

I am not a skinny girl, I am even considered over weight but all of it goes to my chest. I wear a DD bra, almost in DDD and I feel great. Believe me you will always be criticized and if you let it get to you then you will lose who you are. I used to struggle with an eating disorder, I lost 40 pounds in a month (insane!), I stopped having my cycle, my skin became a sickish color, and my hair/nails became much thinner. It's not worth it to be thin. I am chubby these days and I love myself. I love my hips, my chest, every part of me that is accentuated by curves, you should too!

Don't let what men think or want rule who you are. You will never fit the standards that everyone has set before you. Plus one day you will grow old, lose your youthful face and if you grew up thinking only about your appearance you will become a shell and be nothing more than a grouchy old lady.

Bottom line, screw what others say. LOVE YOURSELF!

You don't say if you are big-boned or not, but I am 5'4" and weight 108 and I am still curvy, not scrawny, so I am going to say 115 lbs is probably too much for you. Again, from a "looks" standpoint, everyone likes different looks, but from a health standpoint if you are not pretty much skinny in your teens, you are going to struggle like crazy in your 20's, 30's and beyond.

Further, look at your eating habits. If you are supporting 115 pounds by eating lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat and not eating sauces, fried or junk foods on a daily or weekly basis, that is good. But realistically most American adults are eating a lot of stuff they don't need. You don't need mochas, lattes, energy drinks, sodas, french fries, chips, hamburgers, pizza, dessert, candy bars, pie, cake, muffins, ranch dressing, buttered bread...on even a weekly basis, especially not the sizes that are served in the states. In Europe when you get a coffee drink, it is less than half the size of the smallest serving you can get at Starbucks. We are out of control. Work on this now, for your health rather than wait until you are 30, 40 or more pounds overweight.

Sorry, a little over all the posts on here by girls wondering about weight. I can say it is sad how many young people are overweight these days. Back in the 70's before people super sized everything and ate out all the time, you just really did not see anyone who was fat. In fact as teenagers we were skinny, no doubt about it. Watch "Dazed and Confused" and you will see how teenagers used to look. Now it is so common to see girls with muffin tops wedging themselves into outfits they should not be wearing, and this is as teenagers. Then you hear them try to rationalize it by saying things like "I'm not obese", when the reality is that they are overweight.

So, I realize that is not exactly what your question is about but I can say to any girl or woman who is uncomfortable with her weight, you should not be asking "Does this make me look fat?" and instead learn about nutrition and improve your eating habits. Once you get to a normal, healthy weight, you will feel better about yourself and it is the best for your health. I mean, if you are overweight, even by 10 pounds as a teenager, you are in for big trouble the older you get.

I'm bi so I date girls and I will say overweight but not too overweight. a little bit chubby is cute for some girls and if you have a naturally curvy shape and have a little bit extra weight you can usually pull off chubby. I think there is beauty in all shapes of women and some very thin girls are attractive but I would just prefer chubby over too skinny and underweight.

I'm curvy (rounder butt, wider hips compared to my small stomach, full breasts) and I'm not chubby (im not too thin either...like in between I guess) but if I gain a few extra pounds it goes to all the right places - meaning not immediately to my tummy.

you are nowhere near chubby. stop being brainwashed by anorexic looking images in our society girl you are fine.

SavingHer · Answer

Holy crap chica!  I can answer this from a womans point of view.  My weight has been all over the scale and I am in general a very tiny tiny person especially at an average weight to being underweight.  That is just how I was made; however, when I was over weight guys loved me and when I was under weight guys couldn't even look at me and no one would hug me because they were afraid they would break me. I was under weight by 25 pounds before because of depression and other stuff.  Some guys and even girls were so concerned about me being underweight that they would cry sometimes and yes both guys and girls.  Both genders actually got really mean to me when I was under weight and no one would really associate with me.  I gained weight and I'm at a healthy weight now but when it came down to it and in my experience guys took me and loved me more as being over weight NOT underweight.

most guys here are going to tell you that looks aren't that important, that personality is what keeps a guy around. but here's the truth...personality aside, given the choice of a thin girl and a slight bigger girl, he's going to go for the thin girl.

iknowstuff · Answer

it's all about taking care of yourself.  if you went to the gym 3 days a week and had an hour long work out we wouldn't be having this conversation.  I'm not saying you are over weight, cause 115 is still pretty thin in my books.  but if you go to the gym regularly you can change your body without any differently, you can choose to eat differently to speed up the process but it's really up to you.  & this is the way you are suppose to loose weight.  if you workout 3 days a week than 3-4 months down the road you should see a huge difference, and this will answer your question, because exercising doesn't make you look underweight or overweight you will look perfectly healthy!

Theking · Answer

I highly doubt a man wouldn't be able to pick up a 115 lb woman, anyway I would much rather the girl be a little overweight instead of underweight, it just looks disgusting if you're too thin and if you're a bit chubbier, there also comes the meat that the guys want and sometimes its kind of cute :).

flingflame · Answer

I'd prefer under, unless it's a lot, then for safety I'd say over.

The BMI scale is pointless, don't bother with it. If you're concerned about your weight, consider high intensity interval training and weight lifting. Most girls are afraid they'll get too muscular weight lifting, but trust me, it won't happen (it's not as easy as some people think).

LoosMoose · Answer

My girlfriend was 5'1" and she was 95 lbs and that was spot on, perfect. If she lost anymore weight, I would have liked that less than if she had gained some. Looking scrawny, boney, is not attractive (to me) I would rather she be 10 lbs over her ideal weight than 10 lbs under.

If you can knock off the 10 lbs, do it... you will like the results. If you can't, well... try to draw the line and hold it there because it will do nothing but get harder to maintain as you get older.

girl your fiiiiine. your right where you need to be. and TRUST me, most guys actually DO like a girl with a little flab, not drastic amounts but not being completely fit and toned is fine too!

just be realistic when you look in the mirror. seriously. I KNOW you KNOW where you should be at heart your mostly likely just checking to see what everyone else thinks... (maybe just saying)

but your fine.

That sounds like a normal weight for your height to me. I won't tell you to lose weight (and don't think you need to) but if you want to eat healthier than you already are then go for it. I'm not a guy so I can't say my opinion but I have curves (not rolls though lol) and guys love it.

Anonymous · Answer

your weight sounds healthy to me.  I think I would need to see a picture to know if you need to lose any weight.  since most girls lie about their weight I will assume you are a bit more than reported.  still a good weight tho.  honestly it all depends on boobs size really

l-hedoniste · Answer

She can weigh as little or as much as she wants, until my "unhealthy" flag goes up. If you have a waddle, or if I can see your spine, you're probably out.

Nakor · Answer

personally id go with over. more weight means more boobs doesn't it, girls are ment to be soft not twiggy brittle sticks. it all comes down to huggiung ability, heavyer girls give better hugs there is no two ways about it.

shrike092 · Answer

You sound right at perfect! If anything gain about 5. Rather not have a toothpick and love a girl with confidence, but not "egoistic", in herself.

Anonymous · Answer

For me I would prefer a girl overweight.  That's just what I like in terms of body.  My standards for a girl are based on my own body.  I am 70 lbs underweight (6' 3" 130 lbs. I wish I could gain weight) so as long as a girl has a cute face, I don't care if she is 70 lbs underweight or overweight.

quantumdefender · Answer

Skinny women, underweight women, look "breakable" they may be attractive to look at, but you would never play "wrestle" or bear hugs, or tickle. skinny women just look fragile

ArizonaRX · Answer

I tend to go for girls that are not too skinny. I like about 130-140lbs personally. Doesn't mean I wouldn't go after a skinny girl, I've just tend to like more on a girl.

TheBigBoss · Answer

I prefer a little bit over the average. Like 155-175 lbs. But an attractive girl with fat on legs, ass, hips. I don't like too skinny girl.

Collegeruger · Answer

slightly overweight is fin like 10-15 pounds or slightly under is fine. more depends on what the weight is and how it looks on their body.

Curlyfries316 · Answer

i like small muffin tops, stay the same weight or put on 5-10 lbs. that would be better than losing weight. guys like a girl with meat on her bones.

only_human89 · Answer

Small muffin tops are actually pretty sexy. I wouldn't worry about it. And I would definitely pick overweight than under.
