Can a Fit, Sexy Girl Like a Fat Guy?

I say absolutely! Why not? I'm not saying that I am those two things, but I hate little guys. I would much rather a guy be overweight than super skinny!0

Absolutely. When I went back to college a few years back, I was very fit, and trim, generally about a size 6-8. I dated two guys who were very heavy. One was 4'10" and the other was 6'5".
The key attraction for both of them was that they were both extremely funny and highly intelligent. That made them terribly sexy to me, regardless of their size. I don't really have a body type that I prefer in men; I just take whatever package the person I happen to fall in love with turns out to be wrapped in.
I've dated men (and women, actually) of all shapes and sizes. It's what's inside that counts. Though I do have to say that now that I'm bigger, and engaged to a man who is NOT a big guy, I get a bit self-conscious. My next goal is to weigh less than he does. I'm almost there!
I like to weigh less than whoever I'm dating, too. In that past, even when I was thin, I dated a couple of guys who were even skinnier. One was about an inch taller than me (he hated when I wore anything with a heel because then I was taller than he was!) and 110 pounds soaking wet. I could pick this dude up and carry him around. Portable boyfriend!0 -
I fell in love with a bigger guy. I actually find them more attractive then skinny guys. I don't want to be the same size as my man. That is gross!0

I'll return the question. Would you, if you reached the goal weight, added muscle and were fit and sexy - would you want to date a fat girl? - I'm just annoyed by the general double standard that a physically unfit guy can get the fit/hot/pretty chick if he has one redeeming quality, while they (the guys) themselves can feel free to friendzone or outright reject the fat chick.
And no, that's actually never happened to me, nor anyone I know. It's still a pet peeve. (I did get the only guy I've ever wanted, and I'm still with him)
My personal prefference is skinny/fit guys without too bulgy muscles, but vague definition is swell. Martial artists usually top this list fairly well. Could potentially go for a chubby guy if he had an epic personality, but he couldn't get in the way of my fitness, and at least have some interest in it himself, as it is a pretty important thing in my life.0 -
I acutally prefer guys to be bigger than me and I am actually slightly overweight - I guess it depends on what you consider "fit, and sexy" . I don't like thin men at all.0

My experience is that like body types generally attract. I've never seen a fit woman with a fat man once in my life. I've seen it the other way a handful of times, but there are more ways to explain that (if your wife has your babies, she's not going to have the body of an 18 year old any longer)
So I would say the odds of a fit woman being attracted to a man who is even a bit overweight is slim. I base that off of my own experiences and world views and what I have seen.
Typically overweight people are with overweight people. Mid size people with mid size, and small people with small people overall.0 -
Yes my wife married me.... LOL0

I also like the construction worker look over the business professional look!
ME TOO!!!0 -
My hubby is 4 1/2 inches shorter than I am, is about 40-50 pounds overweight, is starting to go gray in his beard, and is still the most handsome man in the world to me.
I love his personality, so it doesn't matter what he looks like, but I do find him physically attractive. He has gorgeous blue eyes and dark brown hair (my favorite combo), I love his facial stubble and his awesome lips and, of course, he has an awesome booty.0 -
It's about confidence, and how they make you feel. I actually prefer big guys, even with a little squish
but health and athleticism are important too, because that's a life I want to live. 0 -
Okay, Ill bite. I would hope that people wouldn't be so shallow that they wouldn't be with someone great just because of their weight. If the guy has no interest in his health however, that would be a.definite put off.
If a fit, athletic guy (my hubby) can fall for a fat girl (me), why not the other way around?
^This exactly.
I used to be very fit (ballet for 14 years will do that to you) and dated a guy who I called my teddy bear. Due to personal experiences and an illness gained 70 pounds and a man who was fit fell in love with me even though I was 170 (at the time). I'm now 250 and my husband says my confidence makes me sexier now than I was when I was 'thin".0 -
Yes! I am attracted to personalities, humor and intellect. When someone is genuine and fun it is attractive. Maybe a shallow girl would pass up someone on their body type and that is really too bad.0

Call me crazy but Im attracted to the bigger guys...Dont want some skinny pencil I like my man with some meat on him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0

^^ This besides I didnt want to be the one carring him in the door after the wedding I need him strong enough to carry me!!0 -
I have definitely always been more attracted to a guy with more meat on his bones. I guess I would prefer a "fat" man over a super skinny, scrawny one. However, I like someone who is healthy-minded. Now that I am trying to get on the right track, it almost is a turn off to see a guy stuffing his face with fast food. I like someone who cares about themselves.
How about guys going for "fat" girls? I feel like it is completely opposite in this situation. I have always been the "chubby girl with the cute face". I get attention from guys, but have a hard time finding a relationship. I'm the cute, funny fat friend haha I shouldn't laugh, because sometimes I wonder if I was skinny if I would have a boyfriend :-/
I agree with this and will admit that I have my moments of pondering the same "what ifs".....0 -
I think it depends. A lot of woman can be shallow especially if they have a nice body they want someone who also takes care of themselves and lets face it looks good. However different strokes for different folks. My mom use to be very fit. 115lbs and pretty well shaped. My step dad however 250lbs and only muscle on him was on his arms.... Sooo? Hmm idk chubby guys can be cute sometimes. For me it is all about having nice arms and a perfect smile... and I am sold. (ask the hubby!)0

Never been attracted to fat guys. The beer belly thing is deal breaker. I honestly think that the majority of women who say that they are attracted to a Chris Farley type are simply lying!
I have always believed guys are supposed to be hard, hard arms, hard abs, etc.. 0 -
I love me a fit man with muscle!!! With that said, I am always feeling as if I don't measure up when I am with a superfit hottie as I still have 20-30 pounds to lose. I hate feeling frumpy and flabby. The guy Im dating now is an MMA fighter and he is currently bulking so I feel a little better now that hes a tad on the chubby side
LOL 0 -
HELLO!! Take a look at Meatloaf. (And I don't mean the food.) He was VERY heavy and still had sexy girls clamoring to be with him!
Meatloaf is effing rich!
However; as a fat f, I can say the answer is yes, but not at first. My gf is thin, toned, and attractive, but in order to win over a girl like that while fat, you need time. When you are in great shape sometimes all you need to do is keep your mouth shut.

LYING??? I beg to differ ! I would much rather have a meatier man who is humble rather than a pompass body builder who thinks he is gods gift to all women... I know I will hear **** about this comment and I dont mean all men are like this but for the majority we all know when a muscle man walks in the room he just knows all woman are looking at him but when a heavier man walks in he is greatful for that 1 woman that gives him a smile ! Give me a big teddy bear who can make me laugh over a piece of arm candy anyday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im not perfect so I dont expect my man to be 0 -
Absolutely! I'm sure this just sounds like a line of bs, but it really is about confidence and personality. Really! I wasn't attracted to my husband at all when I first met him. Then when I got to know him and saw what a wonderful person he was he started looking hot and sexy to me.
If I was asked if a guy could like a girl who is overweight I would probably say no because I think guys are more about the physical than girls are. But I don't really know because I'm not a guy.0 -
Yes, but not too overweight. A person can always lose weight. I love tall men. My hubby is 6'9" and 300 lbs! I like to look at "eye candy" in the gym and like big tall muscled men. However, I am always thankful that my handsome husband of 11 years is the sweetest, most thoughtful man on the planet. I have found many times that men that look very attractive lack in the personality department. The ability to make your partner laugh and being thoughtful go way further than looks, for sure. I am lucky to have both in my DH.

well.. for me it depends on how 'fat' the guy is. if he's like just a little chubby but cute, i would say yes. if he's like 200 lbs heavier than what he's supposed to be (healthy bmi) then i.. don't know. i know i'm being judgmental but i'm just saying my opinion. a fit and sexy girl knows how hard it is to achieve a body like hers and seeing a guy that is not so fit would prolly make her think he's not taking care of himself.

I've always been attracted to bigger guys. I want my man to be able to wrap his strong arms around me. I feel sercure there. Plus, he's bigger- it makes me feel smaller.
Don't get me wrong... those men that are thinner, ripped and tan?? They are VERY pretty and extremely nice to look at!! But those aren't the guys for me.
It's all about personal prefference. AND someone may think they have a 'type' but be attractred to something much different.0 -
Okay ladies... I thought it would be interesting to hear what the MFP ladies have to say on the matter.
Can a fit and sexy girl like a fat guy?
Why or why not? (be totally honest)
This is a true and wonderful story. I worked with a very pretty girl, she was fit and started dating an extremely obese man. She had been married before to a real loser. At first they were just friends, then started dating, she never mentioned his weight, just continued her lifestyle of exercising and eating healthy. She didn't do it for him to lose, she did it because it was who she was. He began to take walks with her and eat better. He did lose a lot of weight for himself. Of course she complimented him, but never nagged or made weight an issue. Well, she married him and they have twins!!! Do it for yourself, not for someone else.0 -
Men do you date "big " girls?0

lol nailed it!0

lol nailed it!
nailed who?0 -
Not that I'm fit but just saying for when/if I get there.. It depends on how fat he is. If he has like 20-50 extra pounds, I can still be attracted to him. But 100+ extra pounds I'm not so sure.
I'm not attracted to skinny guys at all though. I'm mainly just attracted to average looking people lol0 -
I have to add also, that I would be more attracted to a fat guy than a skinny guy any day. Men are supposed to be big. 0
