do women like big guys?

[Thebiggestpanda]

Well I'm a guy and I've put on about 30 pounds of muscle in the last year. Honestly I can say that I've been getting a lot more attention from the ladies since the muscle gain. The thing about it is that girls like to see toned muscle, so you dont necissarily have to be a big guy. Also it doesnt hurt to have a six pack. To give you an idea I'm 5'10 and 182 pounds at 8% body fat. Im not a huge guy but I sit at a body weight that seems natural and fit. You should consider aiming for the same thing. Firse find your ideal bodyweight relative to your height and then gain about 5-10 more pounds more than that. This needs to be lean muscle weight and not fat weight as it makes you look more healthy and actually is more healthy.

All that aside, I have also found that most of the attention I get is from shallow girls. Trust me when I say that the attention is nice but these really arent the girls you want to spend lots of time with. Just try to find a girl that likes you for you. Theres plenty of fish in the sea so keep on fishin.

ALSO, this is actually a terrible question for any dude to ask. The answer is plain and simple, for the most part YES. Sad but true. No matter how many times you ask this question it wont change the body that YOU have. So basically you gotta work with what you got and not worry about wether or not your ideal. Eventually somebody will think your perfect.

bah. I've talked to many women on this subject... size only matters up to a point. Its kind of like critical mass... once you reach it, adding more doesn't do much (Until you get to Tsar bomb sizes, and than its more of a run away screaming deal.).

I laughed, HARD!

After school special warning: Why would you want to feel smaller? Be who you are and love being a tall chick. I personally love being short. When I stand next to a mountain ready to climb I look around and I know I'm climbing higher than all of them, because I've got one more foot to go at the end.

Because there's a security in being protected, even if it's just by size. That's the best answer I can come up with. :] It's also my own personal preference. And I do love being tall! Promise!

 

[Berethond]

I've noticed this too - I am 5' and I've never dated anyone shorter than 6', but my friend who
s 5'11" has dated a guy who was 5'3".
Us short girls steal the tall guys for some reason.

OT: Slightly overweight isn't bad - in fact, they normally have wonderful arms.... but, I've noticed the scrawny guys tend to be in general better in relationship, albeit too clingy.

5'? That is just too cute! I want to put you in my pocket and show you off as my lucky little elf!

Lol, that was my first urge too. I love short girls.

Ugh... a muscle head... I hate those guys.

One does not need to be tone. If it works for you, fine, but its unnecessary, and for some of us, impossible.

I'd be willing to bet quite a bit of money that your increase in female attention comes more from you being much more comfortable with your body than you were before hand.

On a side note... you used to weigh 152 at 5' 10"? Shit. I'm 5' 10", and if I go below 190 I look like a cancer patient, no matter how much weight training I do (Actually floating around 210 now though, due to some physical issues and the fact that I don't give much stock to looking good. I'm still more physically fit than alot of people that weigh much less than I do, barring cardio [Chronic Bronchitis is a *****]).

It's also my own personal preference. And I do love being tall! Promise!

I once dated a girl who was 6'6" (Compared to my 5' 10"). It was... weird. We both felt awkward. So I understand why you'd have to find one massive guy to date.

Also: Last week, at a Ball where I was ushering, I got the dirtiest look in existance from a tall women. Her chest was where everyone's head is supposed to be, and while I was scanning the crowd for someone, I got into a staring contest with her boobs.

She was not pleased.

Makes sense, though I've never felt the urge to feel protected. I wonder if that is a predominantly female idea to want to feel safe with a provider...
Hold that though, I'mma make a topic on this.

I see what you did there.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

From my experience Girls like guys who aren't me. I'm tall (6'2") but not large so you should be ok. On the subject of tall men/short women I tend to like women shorter than me, but then I don't really know that many 6'3" women.

Ouch, harsh.
She's just self centered, thinking the world is after her tittage.

 

[manythings]

Yes, but not all of them.

This question is pretty open ended though, what kind of "BIG" guy are you talking about?

overweight. not totally obese

Ah, then you're fine. Get a tan and go for asian girls. I don't know why why but I seem to see hot asians with big guys every time I go into a sushi bar.
I don't know why though. Find out how that works and get back to me.

In a lot of asian countries (think thailand, myanmar that general region) fat is still a sign of prosperity and wealth. "I can afford to be fat" meaning you can a) purchase food in excess to achieve rotundity and b) are wealthy enough to not need perform physical labour yourself. That's how it was in most places before hollywood.

I'm 6' and 110. People have all sorts of interests and usually have more than one type, I don't think I've ever been turned down on the basis of "too skinny".

My sister used to have a preference for tall skinny guys, but she married a guy who's 5'10" and what I like to call "skinny fat".

To be fair, they were pretty awesome. But I was in Class A uniform, and I was being professional, damn it! I am not a lecherous hump!

6' and 110... wow. I knew a guy like that... He used to date a girl that was the same height and just as skinny. I used to joke that them having sex must be like throwing a bunch of pointy, jagged rocks in a bag ad shaking them about.

I crack myself up.

Always have your standard response on standby. Always

I suppose when you're used to getting stares, you get tired of it, and you are angry even when it's harmless...

And that's another stereotype I hate, that all males are walking penises.(peni?)Girls can sit and giggle at a males physique, but guys are considered horrible beings because of it (not that they go giggle about girls..... often.). Can't we all be considered 'lecherous humps'? Humans are all (mostly) attracted by physical beauty.

[Note: There are exceptions to every rule. But we're all human, k?]

 

[Something Amyss]

What's the opinion of this Queen?
I...
like..
big GUYS and I cannot LIE, you other sistahs can't deNY...
Ahahaha. Seriously, (or at least as serious as I either get,) you'll have to explain whether "big guys" is some kind of euphemism.

Totally had the same thing playing in my head....

The problem is, I DIDN'T stare. It was face, face, face, left boob, right boob, face. Quick and efficient. But the mere fact that my gaze happened across her bosom seems to have offended her, which doesn't make sense to me, considering the dress she was wearing.

As for the whole 'gawking is done by everyone' thing... I find it kind of rude one way or another, male or female. I was taught the 2 second rule... if you can't look, assess attractiveness, and look else where in less than 2 seconds, than its probably best you don;t commit it to memory. And if you can't stop yourself from giggling, or commenting to your 'bros' how nice that chicks rack is, than go the hell home, pervert.

Everytime I see that sort of thing I can't help thinking: "Mail-order bride, mail-order bride, mail-order bride."

Or somebody who wants to marry for that green card, anyway.

You know, I have to admit I always thought being overweight was a turn-off for women, but based on my own experiences recently I have not found that to be the case. I guess most women don't care as long as the overweight-ness is within an acceptable range.

 

[Julianking93]

That depends. What do you mean by "Big guys"

Do you mean fat guys, large framed men, muscular guys...?

I mean, I can be considered a pretty big guy since I'm 6'1 and have a giant frame and a barrel chest. Though I'm very thin at the same time.

Haha Im no muscle head, I just naturally have little bodyfat. The only reason I started gaining weight in the first place is for the military. I will admit that ive always been on the skinny side but I've never once been told that I look like a cancer patient haha. To be honest I've always been perfectly fine with my body. Its all about confidence and believing in yourself.
