Are women not into skinny guys?

20 comments

1. I prefer fit guys but if you’re too skinny with no muscle that’s not really attractive. You don’t want to feel bone under the guy’s skin

2. None of them like skinny

3. I love skinny guys!

4. I think you might be overthinking a bit. Most women I know who date men date a diversified pool of men, same with hetero men.

   People will date you yes on physical attraction at first, but mostly on personality afterwards. If you are confident in your skin *and* get yourself out there, you will meet women who will be interested in you.

5. It’s down to personal preference but you’re in a better position compared to being obese.

   You can definitely find someone at your level but you may want to consider hitting the gym if you want better results.

6. 1. 5ft9 is slightly above average height, your weight however, puts you slightly underweight.
   2. The # of women who love skinny guys is probably larger than the # of women who love fat guys

   > I’ve always been skinny and struggled to gain weight.

   I’m sure it’s a struggle but this is a “fixable” problem. You don’t need to become a 220lbs tank, but some muscle will help your confidence.

   I’m 6ft2 / 174lbs so I feel you, I’m still quite skinny, though probably closer to slightly below average weight now. It’s never been a huge issue for me other than in high school where I was like ~150lbs and got called a “pencil”.

   That said I started going to the gym 3x week since September and my goal is to add 1lb per month, slow and steady wins the race vs eating a bunch of stuff and becoming “skinny fat”. You are actually so skinny that you can probably get away with eating whatever the fuck you want for a few months just to get to ~140 and build from there. Sounds like a luxury problem to me.

   Good luck.

7. I like skinny guys

8. I mean .. when a guy is skinny and I’m naked with them I feel fat.. not a fan of that .. so I personally prefer a big guy because the bigger they are the smaller I feel 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ but I don’t think skinny guys are unattractive at all they just make me feel fat

9. Women are into guys, and girls and sometimes those inbetween.

10. Make sure to have at least a tiny bit of muscle, lreferably just lean, and you are set.

    I have a very strong preference for leam people in general. I am also skinny to lean myself. I also have weak joints that cant handle a lot of pressure on them, so it is much easier if someone isnt too heavy. Less strain and subluxations while cuddling etc.

11. I don’t want to sound rude while stating my preference or the reasons why so please don’t take offense I’m just one person and you asked….

    I’m attracted to bigger or muscular or athletic body types. I’ve never been “skinny” myself but I workout 4-5 days a week. I don’t want to feel bigger or fat next to a man I’m with especially if we’re intimate. I’m not sure how a smaller frame skinny man would even work with my body curves etc

12. you’re doing the thing where you watched three couples at whole foods and decided you’d solved dating. there are definitely women into skinny guys, you just won’t notice them because you’re too busy cataloging the big guy + girl pairs you see in public like you’re doing wildlife research.

13. Obviously this depends on everyones personal experience. I kinda agree, I’m fit 5’2, 125lbs and I dated a skinny guy who was 5’5 128lbs, and cuddling with him was so uncomfortable because his bones hurt to lay on. I also didn’t like to be super physical with him because I was afraid to crush him. He also never really picked me up.

    I prefer a guy I can be physically free around, I’m with a chubbier bigger guy now and it’s a lot more comfortable to me I won’t lie.

14. I am curvy and a lot of skinny dudes approached me before.

15. My type is skinny guys around my height (5’6′”) 🤷 there’s someone for everyone

16. If your asking online your only going to get other peoples opinions which may make you feel good for a short while but not long term. Because validation doesn’t give you self worth. That something you give yourself. I’m sure there’s a lot more to you as a person than the way you look. And when you put your self worth into your appearances you’re creating an unrealistic standard for yourself. Don’t push yourself into a corner over something like that it’s not worth it.

    If you wanna improve yourself, you should do it because you want to do this for yourself. Not to make other people happy.

17. I know you’re not going to believe me anyways but yes women will date skinny men as well as big or muscular men. When you see a lot of couples where the guy is bigger as opposed to the guy being skinny what you’re experiencing is called confirmation bias.  Confirmation bias is the human tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information that confirms one’s existing beliefs or hypotheses, while ignoring or downplaying contradictory evidence, leading to flawed decision-making, skewed perceptions, and the creation of echo chambers in areas like politics, science, medicine, and personal relationships. I’m glad you’re asking here and receiving opposing opinions but I hope you take them to heart as well. 

18. I like skinny guys at lot more than chubby guys, but lean/slightly muscular is best. At least skinny guys have lean faces which is usually attractive

19. >I’ve never seen a skinny average height or skinny short guy with a girlfriend.

    Probably cause most men gain weight once they have a girlfriend.

20. Sounds like you’re an ectomorph, I know how you feel
