Guys don't like really thin girls

I am SICK TO DEATH of hearing this. Why should I care what guys like or do not like (no offence guys!)? I don't recall listing 'attracting the opposite sex' as one of my reasons for wanting to lose weight, so why should their opinion matter to me? For that matter, why should anyone's opinion matter when it comes to *my* body? I'm losing weight for me and me alone. I want to be happy with what I see in the mirror; it doesn't matter what the collective 'guys' think, or anyone else for that matter! Besides, wouldn't you rather be with a guy that takes the time to get to know you, rather than judging you soley on your weight? I don't know about you, but if a guy rejected me purely because I was too fat or too thin, then I am better off without him! So to all you people out there who keep telling me this... I DON'T CARE!!! Lol. Now I feel better. End rant :tongue:

    This is true however I feel goals are goals. If this goal motivates a person in a positive direction, then let them do it. I've seen a lot more weird goals than looking attractive for the opposite sex but it worked for them.

    Amen! Thank you so much for speaking on behalf of hundreds of females. But I know that some girls are seriously concerned about guys' opinions. Its stupid.

    As long as the goal you've set for yourself is "healthy", then I say go for it. I know the goal I've set for myself is ABOVE my recommended weight for my height, but I don't want to be that small. Once again, if you are setting goals for yourself without posing harm toward your body then your opinion should be the only one that matters.:flowerforyou:

    Cheers sister! :bigsmile:

    My comeback to "Guys don't like really thin girls" is "Well sure, but I'm not trying to be thin, I'm trying to be healthy and happy. You do want me to be healthy and happy, RIGHT?:devil:!?!:angry: ?!?:mad: " :laugh:

    But I DO like really thin girls ... I also like larger girls. It is not their size that matters, both can be very attractive IMHO.

    Your motivation needs to be yours, not what others think should be yours.

    My motivation happens to be vanity, there is no reason yours cannot be as well :)

    I think for anyone to make such a broad statement about what a certain group likes is crazy. People in general have different likes and dislikes. Some guys like small petite women, some skinny guys like larger women. Some women like big masculine muscle bulging guys, and some women like skinny thin guys. Regardless how thin, thick, big, small, short or tall a person is, Blond, Brunette, redhead, or bald, there is always going to be people that find them attractive. I know what I like, and I married her 10 years ago!
    As for you, it sounds like you have the right attitude, doing this for yourself is your main priority. Being happy with yourself is whats most important, what other people think! To that I say.....:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    I just tell them it's a good thing the only guy that I'm interested in attracting likes me no matter if I'm thin, fat, purple or have 6 eyes...marriage is about being with someone for who they are on the inside because before you get to the end of the road, EVERYONE loses their good looks.

    You're right in saying that it's not about being attractive for other people, but I had a quick look at your profile and your goal weight is 40kg?!! How tall (or better question, how short) are you?? This weight would only be considered healthy if you're under 4'10". Otherwise, I think the comments you're combating are possibly expressions of concern for your well being and attempts to get you to set a more appropriate goal weight for yourself?

    Well, I think we can say for sure that some guys like some girls. Here's my question to everyone who felt her pain and were women. Regardless of how you feel about whether guys like big or small girls how do you women feel about big guys? I've heard many women complain that guys don;t like heavy girls but those same girls don;t like heavy guys. So what is right? Here's the bottom line - if you want someone to be attracted to you - you better like yourself and then you can attract others (not all) just by virtue of feeling good about yourself. I'm feeling good because I'm nearing in on two months food sober. Two months where I checked in on my daily calories, worked out and usually ate balanced foods (not today) AND even though I still am over 300 (down 24) I can tell women are more attracted to me then before. It can;t be i'm slim (I'm not) it's that I feel better about myself because I'm taking care and my food is not out of control.

    There's a point at which we like the teddy bear type, but then there's a point where if a person isn't taking care of themselves, nobody's going to find that attractive. The threshold is different for everybody, but I think everyone has an upper and lower limit where they just won't go there.

    Whatever,

    Just another incorrect sterotype. SOME men like skinny women. SOME men like a fuller figure. When people make a comment like "guys don't really like really thin girls" Ask them "What guys?" If they actually have an answer, which 99 out of 100 time they won't, say "That's nice, but I don't really care what they like or don't like."
