Being slim is now out of fashion for a guy?

My dads girlfriend gave me a peck on the cheek last night

Even though I am slim and not overweight I have quite chubby cheeks

I wish I had a Schultzy to cuddle with....wait! I have myself to cuddle with! :O)

I generally find chubby or larger guys more initially appealing, but looks aren't everything.

It depends how overweight we are talking. Many women will date overweight men up to a point. Especially if they have at least some muscle underneath it too. I know several women that prefer the men to be taller and/or bigger than them overall due to feeling more 'protected' (think the Hairy Biker guys - more fat than muscle, but they still look 'manly'). But after a point men become less attractive if they are really obese.

Saying that, I have quite a small bone structure and facial features so I prefer men that have smaller bone structures and look younger also. But I don't know many women that find the partners I choose more attractive compared to bigger guys. I think generally women go for bigger guys, but it would look more like a bell curve on a chart, with less going for men at either end of the spectrum.

There are also other mitigating factors such as wealth, height, intelligence and personality. If a woman is thinking of having kids at some point, then she may be more likely to choose a guy that is less physically fit but seems more secure in terms of ability to provide for a family. She may (rightly or wrongly) think a bigger, untoned man is less likely to stray and more likey to stick around and focus on her and a family compared to a perfectly muscled guy who could have his pick of women.

Not with me, personally. I like slim, lean, guys. Not fat.

But you're right, there is a trend towards more acceptance & even preference to heavier built guys. I think it's been driven in part by Hollywood and the rise in popularity of what's now known as the "dad bod." Once a bunch of A-list wealthy celebs have packed on a few lbs and proudly show off their guts, women have shifted to liking that. That's my take on it, anyways.

Hate to say it man but being in shape or anything of that matter seems to be getting more rare. You think about how people are living these days the culture of tv, video games entertainment that doesn't require you to move. In return you get people who just sit and eat. It's not just men it's women to. Does it disgust me yeah. Would it hurt if everybody got off there butt to go for a walk or something? Society is getting lazy.

I don't care if it's out of fashion, I still want to be slim.

I just try to maintain a healthy physical form as it's something I have some control over compared to mental stuff and have nothing stopping me from preventing a slide to being a skeleton or rotund. I consider everybody an equal being regardless of what their body looks like. Regarding slim being unfashionable, I'm sure there's at least a billion or two that prefer slim guys and at least a billion or two that don't? Nobody ought to care what's fashionable anyway but I guess it's fashionable to be ignorant to fashion too lol!

I'm looking forward to the day that it becomes out of fashion for a woman.

The social norm for male attractiveness is taller, lean (not skinny) well built. Men can be slightly overweight so long as they are taller than their prospective partner. The height difference gives women a feeling of being comfortable their partner will somehow protect them (I think this is biologically programmed)
