I'm a chunky guy. 200lbs, 5ft11.5, 21 years old, and I lift regularly. I have a fat-muscular sort of body, where I have a good amount of muscle mass but still have about 20-30lbs of fat to lose. This is very far from ideal, and I look 'fat' in most clothes.

However, I notice a lot of girls giving me the eye and trying to get my attention in my daily life. I've chatted up a few girls here and there and they have mostly been positive and receptive. Also, the dates I have been on the girls have been pretty into me.

I have been told to believe women are only physically attracted to the top 20% of men and the bottom 80% have to rely on game and money to get girls. However, as a podgy dude who isn't THAT tall and doesn't wear anything fancy I get a decent amount of attention. What is going on here?
