Skinny or fat you can't win either way!

Post Reply New Topic

In my life I have been both fat and very lean (at the moment I am lean but have more muscle mass).

The thing is if your overweight a lot of women dislike you and when your very lean lots more girls are attracted to you........ Yet when your a slim guy fat men/heavier people bully you a lot more because of your weight which didn't happen when I was overweight.

Does it feel like in this society we live in you can never really win or find harmony regardless if your a slim or fat guy? Maybe you need to aim to find something in between skinny and fat?

You hang out at the bar too much.

Most people don't give a rat's butt what you look like--except when it comes to dating.

Having bigger muscles makes you look more desirable, excess fat makes you look less desirable.
The question is do you want to put time in to diet and exercise to attract more women, or do you prefer to put effort on other things?

I have a heavy friend who looks like jack black and women are always nice to him.

So you see...it's not your physical looks.

Since my personality and face repulse all the women, I'm hoping that building a well-sculpted body might at least earn me their begrudging respect.

I think the question is more whether you want to be in shape to get women, or whether you want to be in shape for yourself. If you go for the latter and build your self-confidence then the former might come naturally, you never know.



Swoon, lucky guy I'm not much of a one for celebrity crushes but I would 100% marry Jack Black, he rocks.

Yep....and Jack Black is a chubby, sort of sloppy-looking guy.

He's just an easy guy to hang out with.

Or just go for working out and being fit like muscular

Young girls and women don't even seem to like strong guys as much anymore.

I see so many girls my age nowadays saying how much they 'hate muscles' and I either see them with skinny twig or overweight guys.

A recent study shows young men 21-34 today are weaker then men the same age were in the 80s.

Also, while modern women are also weaker, they are nowhere near as much as men, and the gender strength gap IS SHRINKING.

Having some muscles is even outright shamed sometimes.

"Vain" "narcissists" "shallow" "steroids" "intimidating" etc.

On the opposite end, women have a fat acceptance movement.

Personally I'm not absolutely ripped yet, but I am quite 'built' and have filled out. The only compliment I ever got was once when I was taking a picture with friends in Hschool I stood on tiptoes to be seen. My legs were flexed whole doing this and some passing younger girls were looking. One said "You got muscle in your LEGS! I'm sorry, my friends just been looking."
