Is being skinny as a guy that bad for attraction?

trololol_daman · 2022-03-21T05:19:59+00:00

Depends if you’re tall

Smitten_Squire · 2022-03-21T05:17:33+00:00

The worst is fat, and skinny-fat.

Muscular-lean, and plain old lean are the best two options to be.

Obviously muscular-fat and muscular-freak are disgusting to women except for bodybuilding women which is such a small % of the population.

Forsaken_Software394 · 2022-03-21T07:46:03+00:00

Skinny men are the BEST because they don’t blow up to be extremely fat when they turn 40

I honestly believe skinny men are most attractive when they don’t drink much and lift weights moderately

mackenzie013_02 · 2022-03-21T04:38:42+00:00

Skinny > fat any-day!

redditisforgeeks1 · 2022-03-21T04:41:56+00:00

Yes. When I was muscular I was getting fine women to go out with me. Now since I am skinny fine women just friendZone but still flirt hard

superincongruent · 2022-03-21T05:46:12+00:00

Maybe this is an old stereotype, but the skinny lanky hipster guy with the very cute skinny girlfriend.

IMO maybe redpill misses the point and the attraction is more about having an athletic build with low body fat than muh big muschles. Likewise a lot of really fit women out there who don't take it to social media extremes.

januaryphilosopher · 2022-03-21T11:49:26+00:00

It's only a negative if you're underweight. Regular skinny is fine. Pretty much any body type in a healthy weight range (except being overly muscular I guess) is attractive to me.

Other_Taro_3806 · 2022-03-21T04:35:14+00:00

Na. It depends per person anyways. I like all sizes. I mean unless they are completely unhealthy looking and look like they need to go to the hospital for a check up. I like men when they are happy. If how they look like makes them happy, I’m happy too. If it helps I’m 40 more pounds than my partner. We’re very happy.

I’ll try this no meat thing for 2 months tho. Seems interesting.

coolcpplearner · 2022-03-21T11:05:12+00:00

Depends on the height. If you're tall you're good, if you're short you're fucked.

flapperfemmefatale · 2022-03-21T04:40:59+00:00

My preferred body type is skinny with lean muscle, followed by dad bod. I think muscly guys look gross.

El_Mucho_Danko · 2022-03-21T06:35:37+00:00

I mean I can only speak on my perspective but I’m 6’1 & 135 pounds and I literally hooked up yesterday so it isn’t the worst thing to have

2022-03-21T08:40:52+00:00

my friend's friend is a skinny guy who got a lot of ladies, depends on your place and circle

loganmacoy · 2022-03-21T11:03:04+00:00

I don't think so, but how skinny are you vs how tall you are? I am 4'11" and 115 pounds, and I am screwed, my only solution is to make $200k a year.

TheRealMekkor · 2022-03-21T14:01:46+00:00

I always found it funny that men are more attracted to super buff body builder types than women are.

I guess the female equivalent is the overly done up, butterfly lashes, dramatic make up, extensions, and dragon lady nails.

___alchemy · 2022-03-22T21:13:00+00:00

No, quite the contrary. I only like skinny men. Ideal is skinny-toned, not bulky.

Available-Ad-9338 · 2022-03-27T14:40:28+00:00

I prefer skinny men. I'm East Asian though and we're extremely fatphobic.

Initial_Chemical7121 · 2022-03-21T06:44:55+00:00

It depends on person you’re with, really. I also think you get a pass if you’re tall

HeartCatchHana · 2022-03-21T12:00:05+00:00

I prefer skinny guys

cruciod · 2022-03-21T14:28:08+00:00

I'm a pretty skinny girl (similar to what you said lol, I actually stopped eating a lot these past 2 months but I'm trying to get my weight back on it. I'm usually at a 19ish BMI when I'm healthy).

I like skinny guys! I prefer them a lot more to overly muscular and built men who look like they could crush me. I think skinny guys with some muscle (so that it's not skinnyfat) is pretty ideal and there's definitely a lot of girls I know who're into that body type. I'd even argue in highschool/uni a lot of them get the most girls.

Kaisern · 2022-03-21T15:35:31+00:00

reminder that when women say they like skinny they mean Tyler Durden. when they say they like dadbod they mean like a heavyweight boxer. when they say they like not too muscular they mean like a guy who lifts weights 5 times a week, but just doesn’t take steroids

AggroWeasel · 2022-03-22T00:17:36+00:00

I’ve 5’7 and thin and those two things have always been - by far - my biggest hurdle to attracting women. They just don’t give a shit that I exist. And I’m, otherwise, top 1% in everything.

I obviously can’t change the height thing and even though I lift regularly I sort of have a soccer player’s/middle distance runner’s body.

I look better than everybody naked but I look “thin” just walking around.

It’s a really shitty feeling to be invisible because of things out of your control.

Different_Face_3242 · 2022-03-24T16:44:10+00:00

Not at all, I prefer skinny guys.

rosebl00d9 · 2022-03-24T21:19:13+00:00

Helll no. Skinny guys in my experience, are what a lot of girls are into. I mean look at timothee chalamet, harry styles, mgk. These are the most thirsted over guys. in my opinion, i prefer skinny guys especially if ur tall, best combo

LetsDelveIntoIt1 · 2022-03-21T04:35:08+00:00

In a country where most people are overweight, and a good chunk (pun intended) are straight up obese, being skinny is not gonna do you any favors. This is especially so for men because in American, the women themselves are significantly overweight, and no woman wants to be bigger than her guy.

That said, my husband is skinny as hell, but so am I.

figuringMylife · 2022-03-21T06:31:28+00:00

i prefer thicker men but im a thicc girl. im still open to dating thin men though

2022-03-21T05:11:52+00:00

For me personally, yes. I like stocky men. Muscle/fat, as long as they're not skinny.

That being said, I have a brother who's built very lanky. Not skeletal or anything, and he's definitely strong and athletic, just skinny. He is extremely popular with women. He had women fawning after him, asking for his number after games, asking him on dates, etc. I had so many of my friends express to me how good-looking they thought he was.

Now it totally could just be because of his hair, height and face, or his aloof and confident persona. But if skinniness was that bad for attraction, I sincerely doubt he would be as popular as he is.

mrcs84usn · 2022-03-21T04:59:29+00:00

If you’re built more like Michael Phelps or the average military special forces member in terms of musculature, you’re in the right place. Definition without being outright jacked.

Though, even if you ARE jacked (which would require dedication and probably some kind of gear), you still wouldn’t have issue finding women.

deathbecomesme123456 · 2022-03-21T06:23:39+00:00

I like skinny guys, provided you don’t have a gut/spare tire like in the skinny-fat look.

2022-03-21T07:15:26+00:00

If your naturally thin then building some basic muscle would be great for you..

Fit_Kiwi9703 · 2022-03-21T04:56:57+00:00

Vegetarianism is attractive to a lot of ethically-minded people.

A healthy diet is attractive to me. It shows that the person is conscious about what they put in their bodies. For me, their weight comes second to lifestyle habits. Often the two are mutually inclusive.

Better to have some muscle than not, and lean (10-13% bf) is always a plus. The only you can pull off being ‘out of shape’ (skinny fat; chubby) is if you have a great face + great height.

Jack_ofall_Trades85 · 2022-03-21T06:46:57+00:00

What is your height, weight?

Reisiluu · 2022-03-21T07:20:56+00:00

If you're taller than women you can get away with being skinny. Skinny also looks better if you're somewhat muscular and your body doesn't look like it's made of pudding.

2022-03-21T07:52:53+00:00

Skinny isn't ideal for a man but there's a lot worse things you can be than skinny. Just put on a little muscle sustainably over a long period of time.

amyg36819 · 2022-03-21T09:30:48+00:00

depends but for the most part, yes

Arnold_Incelinator · 2022-03-21T11:45:40+00:00

skinny is bad in western countries but good in asian countries.

2022-03-21T12:10:30+00:00

From my personal experience, absolutely.

Most women want to feel "safe" and "protected" by their man, and don't want him to be thinner than her.

2022-03-21T13:51:49+00:00

Skinny with muscle isn’t bad. What’s concerning is you cut calories and had little grasp that would have on your health

KaleidoscopeEyes12 · 2022-03-21T14:08:57+00:00

No, my bf is skinny. I generally prefer that lanky look. Idk that could just be me

Cartographer9 · 2022-03-21T14:32:16+00:00

Definitely not. Being fat is much, much, much worse.

When you're skinny, your facial features are probably the best they could be. You probably have some abs and vascularity too.

feistykalorina · 2022-03-21T14:34:21+00:00

I prefer slightly overweight or reasonably skinny over muscular, body builder type is repulsive to me when it comes to dating I do t mind them as friends but can’t date them

BecretAlbatross · 2022-03-21T15:09:29+00:00

I'm tall and skinny, due to gut issues and low testosterone. Women are still attracted to me, but about 6 years ago I was a lot more muscular and got way more attention. Imo being skinny and being a bit chubby are about they same. They don't have that much effect on how attractive you are compared to other things (your face, having good body type etc).

LittleDragonMaiden · 2022-03-21T15:13:25+00:00

I like anything from skinny to muscular. Skinny guys may not be hot but they are cute.

Evening-Blackberry50 · 2022-03-21T16:34:27+00:00

Why the fuck am I here? I’m 17 and I was looking at memes a minute ago. Should I really be consuming this kinda shit when I’m not an adult?

2022-03-21T16:59:48+00:00

I don't think skinny is bad. I would rather date a skinny guy than a fat one or "normal" one with bigger belly.

magiksissclit · 2022-03-21T17:22:29+00:00

I’ve slept with a guy 5’10 but skin and bones. It was very uncomfortable in bed. If I were to imagine a relationship with him and us out and about I’d be totally happy with him. However, physical intimacy is so important to me. If I was skin and bones too, it prolly wouldn’t have been as painful.

HazyMemory7 · 2022-03-21T18:24:38+00:00

Fit >>>>> Skinny >> Fat

MalloryTheRapper · 2022-03-21T18:44:23+00:00

I strongly prefer the strong chubby look. I just want my man to be big and strong but I like the squishy belly and the look of it lmao. too skinny i’m just not attracted at all and it hurts to sit on top and ride a really skinny guy lmaoooo

whoreror22 · 2022-03-21T20:20:06+00:00

I like em chubby but tons of gals like skinny

TheMedsPeds · 2022-03-22T20:54:24+00:00

From favorite to least favorite:

Slender, Lean muscle, Average, Underweight, Super muscular, Dad bod, Obese

eyelinerqueen83 · 2022-03-22T22:32:11+00:00

Nope, it’s fine.

Hereforthememes5 · 2022-03-23T05:37:43+00:00

Just think of it this way. We women, at the end of the day kind of want a cave man, who will throw us over his shoulder throw us onto his bed and have his way with us! when you picture what kind of man can do that, it won’t be a tiny little twig that can snap in half right? 😄 muscle is sexy, strength is sexy in a man. We want a protector, a defender, and a gentle beast in bed ;)

Although, lately some women dig the skinny jean skater boy types. But I think that’s a minority.

newrunner29 · 2022-03-23T16:14:37+00:00

What’s sort of muscular? What’s your lifting numbers?

WilliamWyattD · 2022-03-21T10:59:20+00:00

Shoulder width matters. Tall, skinny with broad shoulders has always worked. Also don't want womanly hip bone structure.

2022-03-21T12:23:18+00:00

I’d doesn’t matter to me
