I'm 20 and over weight, that I will admit. I feel like if I was skinny I would be able to get a guy... and we all know that guys don't see your personality first. The first thing they notice is your looks.
Do guys really like skinny girls better?
Im not gonna lie to you. and I hope I don't offend you. I'm just being sincere
most of us(90% and the other 10% are really weird people) like skinny girls. I would never date a fat girl because I am skinny and muscular and I spend a lot of time on my body and my looks. if a girl doesn't spend the same time or more doing the same for me, I'm not interested.
being skinny would make it easier to get a guy, but also focus on your personality.
if you truly want to lose weight, go to a doctor and ask him how to do it but don't do something stupid like puking out food or not eating at all.
it really depends on how much you want it. also another thing, being healthy and skinny makes you feel great and that alone can attract the opposite gender.
one last thing, make sure that you are actually fat before trying to lose weight because it might be a psychological thing that makes you think you are still fat(some people are fat when young and after they develop they end up being VERY attractive)
i hope you realize your dreams

I like girls who are slightly 'overweight' (say a girl who's 5'6 weighs 150lbs. For me this is attractive, cuddly)
I'd prefer to have sex with athletic girls because I find them sexy but that's my sexual attraction. For a relationship, somebody I'm going to be sleeping with (actual sleeping, not sex :) ) then I'd prefer them with a bit more 'meat' :)
Don't get worried or upset, not all lads are shallow people interested in 'magazine look' women. You'd be surprised by how many share my opinion :)
Being overweight sucks! I know, as I have been XX large my whole life. People who have never been fat will tell you to diet, exercise, etc. Its not as easy as that. Often the weight is there because of childhood abuse, depression, or some other medical problem, which you need to resolve before the weight will go away.
Try to find something you enjoy doing and try to have fun in your life, without consciously seeking a boyfriend. For me, it's dance. I love to Salsa - put the music on loud and twist away (in the privacy of my own home, I must admit). After a while you will lose a bit of weight, but it will not seem as important, as you were having fun.

It's a 1) personality 2) culture 3) fashion thing. Skinniness has only been a beauty standard for the past 100 years. In Uganda, overweight is fetishised.
You can't please everyone. The closest you can get is to lose weight till you're about average, size M/L as to compromise.

Don't get skinny. It's not attractive. Surveys and scientific research shows that men are hardwired to like women who have meat on their bones. I'm not saying overweight, but even less so overly skinny girls. In our programming, skinnyness suggests infertility (which is true; skinny women have a many many times greater probability of miscarriage) whereas a woman with a curvy body is fertile and attractive due to the probability of passing on genes.
haha sorry for breaking it down into unsexy science. but those are the facts. They've even shown that men prefer women to be about 2-4 sizes larger than the women want themselves to be!

calculate your BMI. If you're within the range of 20-25, you're pretty damn attractive, at least as far as physical attraction goes :)
Good luck! -
The simple answer: YES, we do... but only if by "skinny" you mean thin, yet proportionate. A girl that is disproportionally thin with no curves whatsoever can be equally unattractive. There is a happy medium in between the two that most men will find pleasing. You should have curves, but in general we prefer your stomach to be flat and your waist to be slightly smaller than your hips...
We find this attractive not because we are shallow, but rather because we are genetically programmed to. Women with that specific type of figure convey an image of fertility that we subconsciously notice and want. The principle works for both sexes... ever ask yourself why you find certain male characteristics such as clear skin, a toned body or strong jaw line attractive, and not other characteristics like very short height, obesity, or acne?

No duh. We see your face, and body first. Then we go for the personality. Well, that's if you're not as stupid as a door knob.
Males are visual beings. Also, just because someone is skinny doesn't automatically make them "better" looking. Just that they have a nice body. Just like the term goes "she's a butter-face: but-her face."
It's all to the individual. I like slim, someone else might like wide. -
Yes the majority does. There's no use in lying to yourself and no use for no one to lie to you. Get up, get active, and get healthy. There is no problem with having a litle bit of love handle but overweight is utterly not acceptable.

I prefer slim/athletic to both skinny and overweight.
Part of it is the genetic cards you are dealt, part diet and part exercise. I think you need some luck in the first, but the others are under your control. -
when a guy sees a thin gal he really likes her but finds out later most are golddiggers. Now a gal with extra pounds on may not demand so much because she really wants the guy and does not play the silly games the thin ones do.
Either way if you are heavy try to loose some wieght.

I'm sure you could probably get a guy the way you are. Being overweight doesn't automatically make you unattractive.
How over weight exactly?...
