hi guys,i am a middle aged male and I am 5'11 and I weigh 220. I have no real muscle mass. I want to ask,do you guys consider me overweight? and are women interested in someone built like me? I am middle aged but I am still a virgin and I feel like maybe my weight has a lot to do with it.

    i can honestly say a guy's capacity to give me a lady boner is more related to his personality, confidence and swagger than his weight

    Overweight? Yes. Reason for not getting any? No. Personality and confidence goes a long way. Oh, and alcohol usually helps :laugh:

    Yes it is. I used to bulk up to 220 lbs and compete in powerlifting at that weight and i'm the same height. I had a lot of muscle mass but still felt 'overweight' compared to now over 20 lbs lighter. I will bulk again this fall and compete in that same class but I won't let myself get heavier than about 212 - 215. My ex used to like me at that weight but it's irrelevent now. lol

    Reason for not getting attention from women....nope. As other posters have said personality and confidence make a difference.

    I didn't know 36 was middle-aged, but eh.

    And no. It's not all about weight. But I think there is something deeper that is holding you back from a physical relationship with the ladies.

    lol yeah really I'm 41 and feel young still.

    It's definitely more about confidence and personality than anything else. I had a friend in college that was way overweight but everyone loved his personality and he was just a fun guy. He used to get tons of girls.

    You'd need to lose weight to be overweight. You're in the obese range (just barely but there).

    It might also be contributing to you feeling as if you are "middle aged".

    Well Mike tyson was 5 ft 10/11 and 220 in his prime. He had issues with the ladies?
    OP said he has no muscle mass though. Big difference.

    I'll bet you are a nice guy and could find a nice girl...maybe getting in better shape would give you the confidence you need to meet more girls. Different women go for different body types - maybe you are "teddy bear" type? That can be quite cute :) But being fit might give your self-esteem a boost and ladies do notice that. Plus...a guy just coming in from a run, all hot and sweaty, is pretty hot :)

    Well he should put on some muscle and get in shape, that actually could help him with the ladies.

    Why? Because of confidence. He has no confidence right now and working out will help his life.
    Yeah I think the confidence thing has been addressed already.

    You are my new best friend.

    Thank you for being honest.

    IKR?! Between this and the guy asking about the 44" waist, it's like someone opened the floodgates.

    How do people honestly not recognize this?

    I've been looking for a virgin...not to "spoil" it -- but because I want to wait until marriage -- after having had my fair share of partners. I think it's cool. Your weight is fine but bulk up if you want -- friend me :)

    A guy has to have more than muscles and what have you to makee think of sleeping with him. Of utmost importance is his interest in ME, not sleeping with me.

    I once spent 30 minutes flirting with an overweight guy at Hot Topic. He flirted with me first, and his confidence was attractive. He himself was pretty attractive, as well.

    Moral of the story? A) Everyone (regardless of gender) has their own preference for whatever gender they are attracted to, and B) Confidence is attractive.

    You don't need muscles babe. Even if your over weight all you need is to be kind, smart, funny and good in bed. Also you need to like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain :drinker:

    swagger


    In terms of weight: Your target is 165 - 175 In reality, 180 would put you in pretty good shape. I'm 6' 0" and started at 143 My original goal was 200, then 190. I plan to change my goal to 180 as soon as I hit goal #2. MFP does wonders if you use it


    Same holds true with your boner: Get out there and use it before it falls off !!

    OP, show up in a corner bar every night at 9:00 and before the week is over, your problem will be solved.

    Personally, I like my guys with a little beer belly (not that I'm applying for the job you're looking to fill!) and I'm not the only one.
