I've lost almost 50 lbs, and i've gotten hit on by more girls in 3 months than i've been my entire life.. I also had a one night stand last weekend, which also isn't something i "used" to do. Any of you guys feeling this?

    There was a guy I used to work with that acted like he had more confidence after losing weight, and a few of the ladies would flirt with him, but he still had a hard time finding a real relationship because... well.... losing the weight didn't change who he was as a person.

    I think everyone has different experiences. I know as a lady, I got hit on a lot more skinny than I did overweight... but I've also been married for almost my entire adult life, so I wasn't sure if it was the ring or my appearance... but as I lose the weight again, I find myself getting more attention in general... not really flirting, but just people wanting to make general conversation.

    I'm glad you're having fun. Try to stay safe and protect the body you've worked so hard to achieve. Keep things under wraps if you know what I mean!

    I notice many more women looking at me. Even women with their husbands/ boyfriends will look at me discreetly. At least two women at the gym have come up to me and started conversations with me. At a hotel for a conference for work last October after two days the woman cleaning the room asked how long I was going to be in town, if I needed to be shown around, etc. I'm not sure if it makes a difference (I live in Los Angeles) but a lot of gay Asian guys ask me if I'm married, If I have a gf, etc.

    Have you gentlemen considered that maybe it`s not just the weight, maybe it`s the confidence that comes with it? Confidence is very sexy :)

    I've lost 53 lbs, and I haven't had a one night stand yet.



    Of course, I'm married, and my wife would kill me.

    I have become invisible and then with weight loss. WOW! noticed. right now I'm invisible and it is actually amusing as the weight comes off how much more attention I'll get.

    Even with sales clerks, waiters..people in general don't notice unfit people. then you lose the weight.. and all of a sudden .. they see you. It is wrong..but it is ..the way it is...

    That gif still made me laugh as much as the first time I saw it!

    But to answer your question, the first time I lost weight I didn't noticed any difference at all but I think it also comes with personality, I'm not very social or very confident and never was, not even in my younger years when I was thinner so I don't particularly expect it to be different this time around. At first that was one of my reasons to lose weight but in the end I'm doing it for myself and if that's a side effect that comes from it, then great for me.
