Do guys really care about weight?

good for you

Dunno about others, but for me weight makes a huge difference. I knew a girl who was perfect weight (slim but not painfully skinny) and I'd have killed for her. I knew another girl who looked quite similar but was like 40lb heavier, and I was hardly attracted at all. She was also three or four years older than me whereas the first one was exactly my age, but that wasn't the main thing.

Does that make my ass looks bigger, or what? Anyway... as I've said, I don't like skinny boys. I prefer them being shubby I think. But yeah, sadly, it matters.

Turn it the other way around. We girls are all talking about celebrity guys with six-packs, but in reality we usually pick the one who has a great sense of humor and makes us feel content. If he has a ripped body alongside that great personality, then that's a nice bonus (and a burden because you know other girls are pining for him the entire time) but in the end it doesn't really matter. If he takes care of himself and has some sense of style, I'm happy. That said, I have to be honest that someone who is really overweight or looks like a walking cadaver has to try a bit harder to appeal to me.

In my experience this is nonsense. The average woman puts (almost) as much of an emphasis on physical appearance as the average man.

This is not a reproach, in fact I think it's only natural that they do. But this notion that women go for the funny nice guy and men go for the best-looking woman they can drag back to their caves is wrong, wrong, wrong.

Paraphrasing a Belgian stand-up comedian, when asked about his experiences with the so-called "sex-appeal" of being funny:

"When women say they are attracted to funny guys, they fail to mention the fact that they like mr. funny-pants to sport a six-pack and a perfect ass as well."

Again, not a reproach, I think it's only fair that men should be held up to similar standards of physical beauty as women.

AND I absolutely agree that women are under much more scrutiny for the way they look than men. But this does not change the fact that looks factor in greatly when a woman chooses a partner.

most of my best friends are boys and they all tell me i have the ideal body for them. now, if i were to talk to a girl, they might not agree because girls like to be on the thinner side of things, but w/e. i'm 5'8, 128 lbs, with 34c's, and every guy ive known thought i was perfect the way i am. yet, i remember talking to one girl who was unhappy about her weight, she was at 5'2 and 120 lbs and to be honest i thought she was fine. girls need to stop trying to be stick thin, guys like curves.

to be honest i think models are great but i dont like the majority of models these days. theyre way too thin. adriana is so perfect now, shes so curvy and i love that. back when she was too thin i hated it, now she looks good.

I think most guys want a girl who is healthy and happy. Confidence is sexy.

I think the culture of the guy plays a role as well. I've seen women who are remarkably fit "average sized" women

called "fat" by members some cultures. On the other hand, those same individuals will say an extremely skinny woman has a "great body" while she

is called "anorexic" or the like by the other group. Where I'm from, neither extreme (extremely thin or extremely obese) is

applauded per se.

To make the question personal: Do I care about weight? Yes and no. Yes in that if a woman is on the far end of either

side of the weight spectrum, I become concerned for her health. In terms of preferrence in appearance, no in that even though

I love a flat stomach, being a certain size isn't directly tied to that.

Yes I think men care about girls weight. Some men like slim. Some curvy, and some big.

i think the most successful models like kate moss etc arent considered that attractive to the majority of men. yes theyre skinny. but they have no tits. is that really womanly/feminine?

Newsflash for all of you people: take a good hard look in the mirror: NONE of you are physically perfect.

it goes beyond the female gender.

thanks ... now I'm going to cry myself to sleep tonight Loll jkj kj

Uhh ... I know this sounds superficial... but I've noticed that lately I've been having my way with/getting attention from guys that are in pretty good shape - atheletes - now, if anything they are one the skinnier side but rock hard, (I don't like guys that are too bulky) it's like they haven't got an inch of fat on them.. now getting to my point, I'm not in excellet shape at all.. for heaven's sake I'm 5'7 and weigh about 133lbs... and I'm not toned or anyting. Some guys just don't mind as long as you have the curves in the 'right' places or... for the long run; a good personality.

yeah ... and those who are perfect from the outside are maybe not so perfect from the inside

A lot of guys around me are wery thin
