Hey guys!!! I know we're all here to lose weight and get fit, but I know for some of us, we are still a little chubby while in the process!! I'm just wondering: what do guys think of chubbier girls?? I mean, if they have a pretty face, great personality, and are confident. Just wondering Thanks!!

Love 'em! Not an issue at all that they are slightly overweight.

--P

I do not have an issue at all. I have learned that as long as the woman has a pleasant personality, good character and confidence in herself, I can work within the process of working together on a healthier lifestyle.

But this works both ways, girls need to see that too.

I find that people who have known me during the first 15 months of my journey know the dedication that I put in to improving myself. Much the same way I know about a girl I see at the gym or on MFP who is constantly working at it.

Where I find the problem is meeting new people. If I don't know how they live there lifestyle, it is so hard trying to work on that aspect.

Much the same way that some of the new girls I have met think of the current snapshot, not where I have come from or where I am going, so it makes it really difficult to keep your confidence up when facing rejection based on that. It is almost why I get tempted to hold off on dating until I reach my goal weight.

If they are working towards the best "them" then I don't see it as a problem... but if they are working the other way, it's a turn off.

That's awkward for me that 25% is considered pudgy. I'm at 29% and while I have a little more cellulite than I'd like, and I know I'm large framed, I'm quite muscular and don't consider myself "pudgy." Maybe I'm just fooling myself...?

I think it depends on the guy. I've found that guys chasing one thing tend to go for the girls that "take less effort" and that would include the "pudgier" girls who they'll hope will give it up with less effort. But I've also found that many "good catch guys" looking for a relationship look for the more average girls just because they are less likely to treat them as bad as the beautiful women. Unfortunately, I appear to be surrounded by egotistical losers who are only looking for arm candy. The only way I seem to meet normal guys is through Match.

Edit: I just read enough of the thread to realize there were pictures I couldn't see. Ok, well, I'll come back and comment again after I've had a chance to see the pics

OK - just quick clarification. I'm just trying to wrap my head around this -- are you saying guys are only attracted to heavier women because they think they're easy? and if they're looking for a more relationship-oriented girl they go for the slim but average looking because pretty girls don't treat them well? I've probably misunderstood what you meant.

i actually prefer them..i like breast and thighs and bigger women have more of it, i'll take the extra belly with it

I checked out that thread with the body fat percentage...I'm not sure what mine is but I can tell you I look nothing like those girls. And even if I lose another 50lbs I doubt I'd look like them...I would in a dream world love it if I could look like the 20% woman..but my reality is if I get to the 30% girl I'm happy. Sadly barely any men picked her I'm guessing. lol

Listen,this is not a come on but just what I see looking at your profile pics.
You are an attractive lady with as I said,a feminine figure (sounds cold to word it like that,not the intention) so believe it.

I'm actually wondering the same thing. I've seen JJ post this opinion before, and I'm never really sure what it means -- I always took it to mean that guys only try to sleep with chubby girls because they think they're easy, but that could just be my head telling me this is yet another reason why I am single :embarassed:

I do not pretend to speak for any guy but myself but the answer to this for me is no.
I would never have sex with a lady that I did not find desirable simply for the sake of it...if I was with you in an intimate situation it is because you as a lady has aroused me.

Not to be crude but remember,us guys don`t need toys and batteries so just getting off is no challenge.
Don`t think my wanting to have sex is anything other then the fact you as a lady turned me on,end of discussion.

Chubby Girls represent!

This is probably going to sound meaner than my intent, but enough with the am I skinny enough to be attractive mindset ladies! How many threads do we see from guys asking the same type of questions. Doesn't matter your size, you are worthy. End Rant.

I think it depends on the guy. I've found that guys chasing one thing tend to go for the girls that "take less effort" and that would include the "pudgier" girls who they'll hope will give it up with less effort.

This is something I worry about sooo much. I don't know if a guy is genuinely showing interest or he hopes that I am insecure because of my weight to get some. Carl's words help me with this, but I know there are probably a few creeps out there who will have sex with anything.

I was really into this guy who would talk to me and dance with me at the bar, and he even told me he wanted us to have sex. He would talk to me in class if we were together, it wasn't like he avoided me, but he never made a move either. So it's one of those things that makes me wonder if he wanted me for me, or if he wanted me for a good time and that's it.

But I would like to believe that most people have good intentions.

i think it matters to those ppl who are shallow. so basically it wont matter to the right person. my ex was super fit and had a good body and well lets just say while we were dating i was at my highest weight (almost 200lbs) and he always told me how beautiful and sexy i was. So i was never self conscious. I'm actually more worried about my weight not (30lbs lighter) becuz when you meet new ppl u never know how biased they r or what their taste in women are.

There is nothing wrong with a little extra padding at all. As long as the girl in mention is rocking it and has a personality she will attract the attention of the opposite sex!

I love curves!

Chubby girls can be hot just like skinny girls, muscular girls, or whatever other kinda girls...
It's how you use it imo.

If they are working towards the best "them" then I don't see it as a problem... but if they are working the other way, it's a turn off.

This is reasonable. I wouldn't want to be with a guy who was eating his way into a housebound state and an early death, either.
