<p>Oh, and for the original question - I wouldn’t mind if they were like a few pounds overweight and trying to become fit. If they’re not doing anything about it, though, that wouldn’t be as cool (I’m a chick, btw).</p>
<p>yeah, there aren’t that many girls at my school who are over 6’0, a lot of them are around the 5’7-5’10…but I think 5’5 and below in height for girls for you would mean you would have to double bend over or atleast crouch a little…volleyball players and basketball players tend to be tall…</p>
<p>couch potato head = me , lol no im just kidding
but sarorah, im not asking for a girl to be 6’2 although i have found one and she is fiiiinnneeee (beautiful) I actually met her when my parents brought me to a kitchen store to pick out a color for the new marble backsplash (isnt that the most romantic thing). and shes asian. so in conclusion, asian girl (usually shortish) + tall = oh boy oh boy oh boy lol</p>
<p>im not a volleyball/basketball player lol, moreso tennis. i actually dont take advantage of my height, no varsity sports for me. </p>
<p>my first girlfriend a few years back was 5’1. i was already 5’11, and i told myself that i would never go through that again.</p>
<p>so there are 6’2 asian girls out there…if you end up with her, you can always reminisce about your first encounter with her at the kitchen store…lol…</p>
<p>she was showing me marble samples lol. the places you meet people.</p>
<p>To be honest, no, I would not date an overweight girl. A few extra pounds may be alright but that’s about it for me. (I’m a guy who is 5’7", very skinny but pretty muscular body for my size as I work out a lot.)</p>
<p>I love tall guys. I’m 5’2"-5’3", but I always wear heels/wedges to compensate.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’m really fat, but average. Although, compared to Asian girls, who are usually twigs, I look larger. But then again, I looked mixed anyway.</p>
<p>I’m not sure if I would date a fat guy, but I wouldn’t be instantly attracted to him.</p>
<p>I’m not attacted to the normal “hot” guys. For example, I don’t like tans, I don’t like muscle. I like anemic-looking skinny guys (check: Connor Gyori, Jeppe Zeller, Francis Gomer, Conrad Matschke [sp?] to name a few). My priorities for “beauty” are cheekbones and clear skin–not the usual top two things on a checklist.</p>
<p>However, I would date an overweight guy if I liked his personality. Not obese though, because I have an odd fear of becoming obese if I hang out with obese people.</p>
<p>you can make an excuse to go back again… “umm…we need new material for the countertops”…lol…but usually meeting people in the oddest of all places is a good thing, because it lets you see them outside of their normal environment…</p>
<p>well actually heres the story.</p>
<p>my dad was talking to her dad. she was supposed to be showing me marble samples and i started talking about other stuff. we ended up having things in common, so i asked her for her sn. my dad was there and so was her dad, so that was kind of awkward, but its all worth it, b/c we talk alot, though we arent going out (at least yet)</p>
<p>the only problem with that is that everytime my parents wanted to do something with the countertop, like put the sealer on it, they asked me to call her cell.</p>
<p>yeah, i can see how that gets awkward when you are trying to go out with her, but at the same time your parents are unknowingly ruining it…</p>
<p>I’m attracted to guys who take decent care of themselves… and that includes not only personal hygiene but also a healthy diet, and exercise if necessary. I can’t be physically intimate with a guy who doesn’t respect his own body. Does that make sense at all?</p>
<p>yeah, that makes sense…if they don’t respect their own body, why respect theirs?</p>
<p>but the same could go for a girl who is insecure about her body, if she can’t respect her body (meaning she can’t appreciate it or find a way so she can appreciate it) then how could someone appreciate her body? of course, if she does decide to do something about it, she might want quicker results that won’t happen with just excersizing and eating less rich foods for a few days…the insecurities might lead to anorexia or a desire for plastic surgery…</p>
<p>What do you think are factors that go into insecurity about the body in both males and females?</p>
<p>alot of sense. you want to kiss something pretty. thats sweet. i mean i would not want to kiss a girl that smells or has disgusting hair, especially because, being 6’2, thats the part of her that is near my nose! healthy diet = checkers triple play ! every day !</p>
<p>I’m a shortish girl (5’3") and I don’t want a guy who’s super tall. it’s no fun if I can’t reach up and kiss him on the cheek, is it?</p>
<p>girls care less about dating someone who’s overweight than guys do. seriously if a guy has a personality that’s gold, then a girl’s willing to overlook some extra poundage.
(articulation is a selling point for me :))</p>
<p>but guys tend to automatically write off a girl who’s chubby, let alone obese, and it’s not cool.</p>
<p>re: insecurity. there’s a double standard out there for girls. we’re encouraged to be ourselves, make the best of our abilities, not be scared of who we are etc. but we’re also encouraged to fit into this standard of beauty.</p>
<p>seriously guys, if a girl is overweight it doesn’t mean that she’s lazy and doesn’t take care of herself. maybe she’s got more on her mind than enticing guys, who knows!</p>
<p>but the one thing less attractive to a guy than being a bit overweight is going on about stuff like double standards, so meh.</p>
<p>
I think respecting one’s body for what it is is key here. I can only speak for myself, but I don’t care if a guy is stereotypically “attractive”… my only requirements are that he (1) has good hygiene, (2) eats well, and (3) exercises to some extent. The rest comes down to personality.</p>
<p>I’m a straight female, so I can’t say whether this applies to girls as well… do any guys care to back me up on this?</p>
<p>i’m 5’7 (169cm) and 121 lbs (55kg)
I personally wouldnt date a massive guy or a guy shorter or the same height as me.
i’m quite picky i think. but i think many girls feel the same way.</p>
<p>
Oh, I don’t mean that one should exercise and eat well for the sole purpose of attracting the opposite sex… that defeats the purpose of it. I think it’s a measure of self-respect, really.</p>
<p>I’d date a fat guy who eats basically healthy food, but not a fat guy who stuffs himself with cream-filled chocolate-covered sugar-sprinkled doughnuts at every waking moment… you know? It just doesn’t show a lot of self-respect, or self-control, for that matter.</p>
<p>I’m a straight female,too…and I agree good hygiene is good, I can’t really expect a guy to eat the way I eat (I’m vegan), but atleast that he respects it and doesn’t try to change my eating habits, and excercise if he needs it for his health or just not to be a couch potato.</p>
<p>thisyearsgirl: point.</p>
<p>I dunno, I guess being at a really shallow campus gets to me sometimes. even thin friends of mine feel the need to dress nicer for class, and it seems like wasted effort.</p>
