Is being skinny overrated when it comes to girls?

[Anonymous]

Okay from the question you can probably tell yes I am an overweight person. But I am just want to find out when it comes to not just girls (mainly them), but in general if being skinny is overrated or as good as it sounds?

I prefer muscular guys.

Then I prefer average weight guys.

Then I prefer slightly chubby guys (5-20 pounds overweight)

Then I prefer skinny guys

Then last is overweight guys (20+ pounds overweight)

So for me personally being skinny isn't ideal for a guy, he just looks more weak and breakable, I prefer a strong muscular body build like he works out. But I don't expect all guys to be in the gym 5 days a week so average weight is good. But yeah if you're overweight it does make you less physically appealing, sorry just being honest

But as for me, I'm not skinny I'm thick (not fat). I wouldn't trade it for anything I love my body! I think hourglass shapes are the most feminine and attractive

i think being skinny is overrated for both guys and girls, now if your like very very over weight I find it unattractive because its more like your the type of person who don't care about there health, also to a certain limit it dose affect attractiveness but I am always attracted to bigger guys never skinny guys I like built guys aswell. now I have lost about 60 pounds and people praise me for it because they are like omg you are so skinny! I didn't do it to loose weight really I did it to be healthy and be able to go shopping for things I love so I went down a few sizes lol. so its all in perspective. but being super skinny like from the media's point of view is very over rated.

I've always been naturally petite and skinny and I think it's totally overrated. I mean maybe you fit into a smaller dress size but in the end guys tend to like girls with a little more meat anyway. It just looks for attractive. And even though I eat wholesome meals I feel unhealthy. Also I'm so sick of people making comment like Oh your so skinny you don't have to worry about gaining weight or being fat.

Yeah.

i read this newspaper article recently that actually had statistics where people who were thinner and more in shape actually made more money at the same job then people who aren't (just throwing that info out there). I used to be out of shape as well and lost it and did excercise. if you are motivated it should be easier than if you aren't. I was obsessed with this girl in 11th grade and did it for her. sadly she was still not interested in me( she's way too shallow). but I can say I definitely got more attention from girls and am happier with my diet and excersize (and eight pack!)

ok would you watch the movie 300 with built guys or with chubby guys, would sports illustrated sell more with thin looking models or chubby models?

BUT some girls like their guys big they feel more secure, so it come down to a matter of preference.

SI's models are ugly. Just saying.

Oh definitely. The moment people prioritize being thin and little over actual health and wellness is where we went wrong. People will celebrate disordering eating in the name of being thin. Dont get me wrong obesity isn't any better. I've lost over 70 pounds and would never go back, BUT when women are healthy or even just trying to lifestyle change starve themselves and hate themselves to obtain this mostly unobtainable image, at least for them…yeah there's a lot wrong with that. Biological attraction supports having a healthy bmi not the lowest bmi possible. I believe strength, health, good eating habits>thinness, Ed’s, and starvation anyday lol.

I probably take being skinny for granted, and I don't understand others slaving over treadmills and sh*t every day for hours just to get to my size. That's just stupid. Realistically, if you aren't petite, you ain't gonna be a natural size 0 or whatever, so why bother. Being skinny does come with advantages though, such as flexibility, never haver to worry about not finding clothes, being able to fit in small places, having and advantage at sports, etc.

its great! and I mean healthy fit, toned. I went from 118 to 95lbs from 4 months of exercise and I feel great!...haha I get turned on looking at myself lol seeing all the sexy detail of muscle and curves I never saw before.

Are you asking is it overrated as in girls being skinny. Or are you asking is it overrated to be skinny to appeal to girls?

it's as good as it sounds. I wouldn't trade being skinny for anything in the world.
