How do guys feel about a somewhat curvy girl?

[Anonymous]

I know this has probably been asked so many times... yet I still need to ask lol. I have reached a plateau in my weight loss goal where I workout 3-5 times a week for 1.5 hours each time (vigorous cardio and weight lifting), walk an average of 11,000 steps a day, and eat in moderation. Yet, I still weight 148 pounds at 5'5 and cannot lose weight. Is being a little overweight a turnoff? I am honestly trying my best and have been working out for years but I feel my body just wants to stay at this weight. It is so frustrating when I feel my weight automatically means I cannot be "hot."

Ok I'm not a guy, but felt the need to give my opinion. It stands to reason that even being 5'5" and 148lbs, which is technically overweight, although not by much, you must be pretty fit if you workout 3-5 days a week. So you probably carry your weight better than someone of the same height and weight who does not stay active, you know what I mean? And I personally know several guys who prefer a little extra rather than stick thin. Curvy is sexy in mho.

Curvy and overweight are not synonymous.

But anyway, tons of guys love bigger girls. You're not obese, but you are chubby, and a lot of guys would be okay with that.

It does depend on how you carry it though.

Damn, some real douchers on here. Something like bodyweight isn't going to keep me from being attracted to someone.
Let the assholes keep the skinny bitches so it's less complicated for the rest of us.
You sound like you're hard on yourself. Don't forget that you're always going to be your worst critic.

It's not like 150 is even that much to begin with. Not sure why everyone's getting their panties in a wad...

Well I'm 5'8 and I weigh 145, so aside from that I could date someone with your build.

Being overweight is a turn off. At your height, 148 is definitely chubby, not 'curvy'. The sad truth is that most guys would not go for you. Let's just say you are missing out on potentially >80% of guys because of your weight. That is the truth :(

I weigh 145 and am 5 5 but I wear a size 8 jeans and a size small shirt comfortably. Oh did I mention I can leg press twice my body weight, squat my body weight, and am on a university athletic team? Weight is a really dangerous measuring tool to use when it comes to health and even looks.

for me yes, but fitness is one of my career options

Most women won't accept a somewhat overweight guy, why should women expect the same thing?

[Songbird686]

I'm not sure that's true. I have no problem with guys who are a little overweight. I always thought that a lot women had similar thinking, but who knows? Maybe I'm part of the minority in that respect.

Are you for real? Some guy asked what's the least bad- a really hairy body, being too thin, having a tiny dick, or being fat (on a guy) and almost all girls chose "fat." And the girls were saying they think chubby guys are cute. So. Wrong.

Also, being chubby is more advantageous in a reproductive sense to women than to men. Hence why chubby girls are more attractive than chubby guys..

[Songbird686]

Well obviously you don't like chubby guys. To each her own. It seems like those girls on that other thread agree with me. Personally I would rather be with a guy who is chubby (obese is different) rather than a guy is super hairy.

@been_waiting we want fat in the buttocks and breast. That's what we want.
