Looking for More Attention From Weight Loss?

I don't get any attention IRL. Online I do and I don't mind it, but it's not "real."

Maybe it's different for ladies but I might look at a nice looking lady and smile. Is that really gawking? If I catch a lady taking a glance at me (for some reason), I take that as a compliment. Maybe ladies don't really "gawk" unless they are at a chip n dales performance.

I don't consider smiling gawking. I consider oogling my boobs and my *kitten* gawking.

I'm strange. Being gawked at makes me feel uncomfortable if it's while I'm walking down the street, but I know that getting gawked at means they find me attractive. Ultimately I only care if my husband finds me attractive, but subconsciously it's nice to know others notice. Overall, I would say I don't really give a damn, lol.

Gawking and glancing with a smile are two different things. Gawking makes a woman feel like they're being undressed. It doesn't make a woman feel appreciated, it makes her feel uncomfortable. You may not know what I mean, but some men look at women and you can pretty much tell what it is they're thinking. It's beyond admiring her physical appearance, it's staring to the point where she knows you want to *kitten* her (I use this term because it's not meant to feel proper)

I often look at both men and women I find attractive, but it's not a seedy "oh the things I'd do to you" thing. It's a genuine admiration for their physical appearance.

Sure. I'd even give a damn if it's from guys I'm interested in.

Same boat here .. I live in a small town, so yeah .. not happening. BUT .. I would love some! =(

Yeah! I really have no shame admitting that one of the 4 or 5 main reasons for losing weight is to get lots more attention from good looking boys. At the moment I get a standard amount of attention for a girl with a big bum but mostly from guys who are either builders and my dads age, or not very attractive and do it to every woman who walks past regardless of their size, looks or age. Non-english people here may not understand, but for those who are English I trust you know what I mean. Builders driving past in their vans shouting "alright love" out their windows.

So…it's not exactly what I want! None of the attractive guys ever show me any normal and nice attention (asking my name, starting a decent conversation and asking for my number ) - they go for the tall, slim, pretty girls. I can't really help my height or prettiness…but I can help how fit and hot my body looks! Plus losing weight will get some fat of my face which will make it look more attractive.

I'm a 19 year old university student who goes clubbing a lot and I'd really like to be one of those girls who talks to lots of attractive boys when out in clubs and things.

I want to lose weight mainly for myself. However, I count this reason as for myself anyway and have no shame admitting it. That's what I want - not everyone cares about more attention.

University starts soon, so it'll be a test to see how much more attention I get compared to last year. I'm excited

For sure! ANd I'm ok with admitting it. It's one of my biggest motivators right now. I haven't had a boyfriend in 2 years, so I'm hoping that a weight loss will up my ante in the dating world - because so far I've been failing epically! :sad: :sad:
