You chubby, overweight, or fat?

[J-Machine]

I'm 5'7'' , I'm 220 pounds. Mind you everybody in my family is bigger set, so a big part of it is genetics. But when I do work hard and everything, I don't really lose a whole lot of weight. When I was working at the mill, in the summer when it was like 40 celsius, The lowest I got was 195, and that wasn't eating either.

I'm 5'7" but 130 pounds. judging by what you've said earlier though I'd say you are probably muscular but with a more uniformed body. Do you happen to eat a lot of flour based foods? I remember hearing people who were in good shape but considered overweight benefited from a cut back of 1-2 servings of grains a day, substituting the calories of that with protein and the other stuff with veggies (except corn; that shirt be hella fattening). or you can try the lazy mans approach. wake up and choose either sugar or grain products as your carb source and omit the other as both eventually refine themselves to the same thing but pure sugar tends to be consumed faster and thus is less likely to be stored. for example two pieces of whole wheat bread and a can of pepsi will have about the same sugar content once everything has been broken down but since the bread takes longer to become sugar the things eaten with it tend to be used for energy first causing the bread portion to be more likely to be stored as fat.

Not that I'm saying you need it. just throwing it out there in case you are curious. If I learned one thing in college its that BMI alone is bunk and that you can have physically healthy individuals in many sizes. In fact you'd be surprised how many people in my personal fitness class were considered overweight due to their muscle mass using that method.

It's funny because what you -seem- to not understand is that the looks has almost nothing to do.
It's all about personality.

Edit: I don't mean that you guys are assholes, but that you just need to find a girl that shares stuff with you/think you're cool

The opposite sex attracting abilities comes down to confidence and confidence.
You will tend to find that a lot of overweight people have low self esteem and as a result their opposite sex attracting abilities are hampered.
However if you find a confident fat guy he's gonna be getting bitches.

Also being a gentleman gets you nowhere besides the friendzone.
Not saying be a complete dick(even though that works for some people) but you can't portray yourself as a friend and then be mad when she treats you like one.You must portray yourself as a high value mate.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Fat and married with 1 child. Trying to change that.

...well...The fat part, not the married part.

Yeah... if this man can get laid, anyone can:

 

[Maxternal]

Have a high metabolism. I'm probably as fat now as I've ever been but you wouldn't notice my "belly" unless my shirt's off ... or too tight.
My wife says she's proud she's finally been able to "fatten" me up. She, on the other hand has ALWAYS claimed she was fat. She's gone from "thin with curves" to "a little chubby" in the the 5 years we've been married but nothing huge. She only considers herself thin in retrospect, though. It's all about perception. My mother-in-law, on the other hand, I would say is borderline obese but ONLY comments on how everyone ELSE if fat.

Wasn't one to date much during my life ... but I AM married.

...gay or straight...

It doesn't matter which one they are for you to love them or not ... but it can cause some serious complications if they're not on the same side as you.

 

[Sicklyboy]

Overweight, 6'3" @~240lbs. Happily in a relationship though, and a long term one at that.

Trust me there are a lot of women out there who love burly guys. Genetically women are still programed to seek out someone they can be confident can protect them. That comes down to your size and additionally, your attitude. Mind you, you don't have to be a macho-douche or anything. I find that a quiet disposition and a palpable aura of "I'm not someone you want to test; shit will get real," works well.

This is me, if you substitute 220 with around 190.

Had plenty of girlfriends before, some people consider "hot", but I'm single atm. Though I am working to get a new girl, who again people consider "hot", and it's working pretty well.
EDIT: And she's like, half my size too btw.

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Yeah... if this man can get laid, anyone can:

There is a very specific reason that man gets laid, and it isn't because he oozes charm.

 

[LoganK93]

Im about 5' 10" and 180 pounds, and I've had a boyfriend for two years. Althougb I also wear nice clothes, and take care of myself otherwise. I also don't have a completely awful personality, which does indeed factor into most relationships.

 

[DarkraiHunter]

5'7" (I'm short... I know)
Underweight.
That's prolly because I play football/soccer too much and also freestyle from time to time. (I can do the Rainbow flick <3)

 

[LDAsh]

This might come as a shock to some people, so please take a deep breath and a seat... but... there's this kinda thing kinda like kinda called "love" which some people fall into, because of personality and a thing called a "soul". When this happens, it makes how someone looks fall right down the list of priorities. I know, I know, harsh reality smack in the face again, but it's true.

You see, when you're "hot as hell" and you get into a car accident, and shards of broken glass rip your face up and make you look like a freak with a face full of ugly scars, and your leg bones break into so many little pieces that getting enough exercise is almost impossible, well, you know, your hot bf/gf IS going to leave you. It's guaranteed. You see, too much TV and too many magazine covers have taken control of your brains that the second someone's looks take a turn for the worse it's straight back to the meat market with them. They'd do it to you, because really you'd have done it to them. Surrrre you would, don't kid yourself.

BTW if you really want to know I was once fat but not anymore, and I feel completely the same now as I did back then, and still with the same beautiful girl. I can run really fast and jump high into the air, but I still see the same fat turd in the mirror. My gf still sees the same guy too, but all the good sides. There's that "soul" thing again that I was talking about. Get yours today! *sorry, no refunds.

Congrats!

About 6'1", 160 pounds, hardly any fat really. gets annoying when women who aren't super slim and fit call themselves fat because they have slightly more body fat than me. But I think it's more just them wanting attention.

 

[Pong20302000]

im not obese but i am not thin
seem to be able to get the right amount of cuddly and the face saves it
current GF over year and a half now and she fell fore me mwmwmwwhahahaha

I'm six foot one and I weigh over 300 pounds. Recently I found that no matter what I tried, I couldn't lose the weight, but I never gain any either. So I found the best way to get women to notice me was to be ultra confident and make less self-deprecating jokes. Both have worked wonders in my dating life so far. I'm still single, but I have more than five potential girls that I could ask at any moment. I must get a decent paycheck first though.

EDIT: So has the color black. Particularly vertical/horizontal striped shirts.

I can't stress this enough. When trying to get a girl you will ALWAYS fail if you keep doing jokes about yourself. Instead of that for each joke about how fat you are joke two times about how cool/good/rad/smart you are.
No, that doesn't mean you should act like a douche.
Just keep it cool and don't show her how low is your self-esteem (and by doing that you will actually rise it)

 

[pokefloote]

I'm 6'2", 190 lbs. I appear skinny to everyone else but I have a little bit of a belly going on, haha. Only noticeable without a shirt. I need to start running again.
Don't have a girlfriend at the moment but I never had problems before. (I'm actually a closet nerd, so that helps a bit, haha.)

Honestly though (and I know I'm echoing what a lot of others have said) it doesn't really matter. The people I've dated, I dated for their personality, not their body type.
