So at what weight do women actually respond to a guy?

So when I was 290 the last girl I approached before starting my weight loss back up literally turned around on walked away without acknowledging me. At 245 I guess things have improved in the sense they'll talk to me for 30 seconds until they come up with an excuse to get away but still. So guys who have lost weight or to all the women out there, when does it actually get better? I mean do I need to be a fitness model or something because that's probably a bit out of reach.

    You need to have confidence.

    It's hard, I know..I struggle with it a lot.

    But strong confidence will go a long ways.

    Confidence is it. Just like with women, men have to have confidence. And I'm not talking the fake "Lookit me, lookit me crap." I'm talking real self confidence. We know the difference just like you (men) do.

    In my personal opinion, there is no weight where things get better. It's the so-called "women" that have their standards higher than they should be. You're just approaching the wrong women.

    It'll get better, they're just shallow.

    I started getting approached by women (and hot women) during my weight loss in college after I hit about 225 and mid teens % body fat.

    Really is pathetic that you get treated SO differently. My biggest thing that I noticed was waitresses/customer service being MUCH nice to me.

    Hell, I ate more when I was fat (thus ordered more/paid more on the bill) you should have been nice to me then...

    I agree that this has far more to do with confidence and charisma than weight. I know guys who are significantly overweight who get more @$$ than a toilet seat, and other well-build guys who can't get the time of day from most women. I'd also agree that you might be approaching the wrong women.

    This.

    My husband is 6'2", 230 lbs. He's got a bit of chunk in his tummy trunk, but he's still a dead sexy beast.


    Oh, and I approached him.

    some women are shallow, some are not.

    Really what turns women on is confidence, not arrogance (there is a fine line between the two). Be friendly, have a sense of humor, sociable.

    if you have a hot body and are a douche, you will still be lonely.

    You're right ^
    It has everything to do with how you carry yourself and speak to women. Most of us don't mind extra weight, entertain our minds and we will give you a chance. We are a lot less superficial than men think we are. The good ones, at least.

    It's (mostly) not your weight, it's (mostly) you.

    The more comfortable you are with yourself, the more comfortable they will be with you.

    This.

    It's not a matter of getting down to a certain weight. It's a matter of finding a woman who will love you inside and out. I promise you, we're out there. Keep looking. if you're rejected, chalk it up to them not being the right one for you and move on. Never give up!!
