Do guys date fat girls?

I think it will slim the dating pool some, but let your personality & kindness shine. I find it harder to date being a divorced mom than being overweight. I'm 149, so about 20lbs overweight with a mom bod & it hasn't been an issue. Everyone has their preferences, like some guys prefer not to date women with kids, overweight girls, only girls with a degree, girls who are high maintenance, etc.

I say continue to work on improving & loving yourself & the right guy(s) will come along. I've met nicer guys not looking than when I was trying!

First off....when you ask a very general question, you need to expect you will hear answers you don't like. This is the interwebs, people are not going to just tell you what you want to hear.

I have dated when I was bigger, and find no issue dating now (even though I still have work to do). You need to throw out expectations. Be confident in yourself and work what you have. Get some cute outfits that make you feel good about yourself. Even though I know I'm not everyone's taste, I rock what I've got. I always get complimented on my confidence (swagger is what my ex bf always called it). Even if/when you get to your goal weight, dating is hard.

To ask if guys date fat girls is really asking an impossible question to answer. That's like me asking if someone would date me because I'm brunette and not blonde. Yes they do, and no they don't. Everyone has their own personal preference. Don't get defensive about it. You will find the ones who like you....and when they do, I'll bet it's not about what size jeans you wear. Just sayin.

Real men don't worry so much about an external appearance. They look for the love and kindness that's within. I don't care if you're a fitness model... If you're ugly on the inside, I personally want nothing to do with you.

This is a beautiful answer/ much judging is done too quick, too hard, and not on the qualities of real importance. Thank you for reminding of this

Just curious...

I hope so.

Of course. Many users of mfp want to lose weight before their wedding. Therefore those users were dated while those users thought they were fat.

The answer is yes, of course. However, if you are only looking for a fitness model then your chances might be slimmer. I wouldn't think any less of a person if they only want to date someone who is at their fitness level, given they are still respectful towards everyone else.

I'll be honest, I am not really attracted to someone who doesn't share similar interests or goals as I do and some of these include working out, eating right and etc.. My reason is because I have a natural tendacy to eat bad and easily lose interest working out; therefore I need a partner who is going to support my good bahavior and not vice versa. Some people might think this is shallow but at my age, you seriously can't afford to look at diet and exercise as optional. With that being said, physical appearance is not the determing factor. Having chemistry, a good personality, similar interests and goals are all factors that determines if a person is dating material.

Personally, weight on a man doesn't bother me. It's usually the willful ignorance, dbag attitude etc I find unattractive.

I've known men who prefer larger women and men who prefer smaller, fit women. I believe it's the personality that usually makes the connection between two people.
