In the dating world, is it harder to be a chubby girl or a skinny guy?
I read a myTake and it has got me thinking: When you're not the ideal body type for your sex, it can make finding a partner much, much more difficult. I had recently read a myTake about a young man and his experience in the dating world being the "skinny guy".

As you may know, the ideal body type for a male is to be tall, "jacked", and just masculine all around, and according to him, being skinny was just not that, and he discribed his experiences and plan to change what he wasn't happy with.

As I was reading I thought about my own issues I had previously experienced by being the "fat girl" and how similar they were to his. I am in the process of losing the last bit of weight I need to lose, but it has had me wondering.

I feel like the results will be split between guys and girls because everyone has their own experiences and view on how things are hard. We'll see though.

Please be respectful and mature with your opinion.

From this poll it is much harder to be a chubby girl because •They are seen as unattractive by many guys •They are usually made fun off and shitted on by other girls. • It is much harder for them to get laid because according to many guys "skinny is better". 🙄 • They aren't respected, like at ALL. • Most fat girls can't rely on looks to get what they want. Well thanks for all the answers. Be on the lookout for my take about being a former fat girl and the struggles I went through.

  • I think both have their problems, but it's ultimately harder to be a chubby girl.

    • Any reason why? :)

    • There's still more of a stigma around being overweight than their is about being a skinny dude, I believe.

  • I voted other: it's far worse not to be a nice person, that's a big turn off :o
    Chubby girls and skinny guys find guys, but a rude and disrespectful person doesn't have a chance :-(

  • I'm relatively skinny but I don't think it's a handicap. As for chubby girls it depends. I think naturally curvy girls can be super attractive. So I'd say both is not a handicap other things are going to decide how successful people are going to be :P.

  • Plenty of girls are into skinny guys, but not as many guys are into bigger girls

  • Chubby or fat?

  • a chubby girl. definitely harder. women don't appreciate traditional masculinity these days anymore, lol the guy can be as skinny as he wants to, if he just grows a beard, that will be considered 'manly' and there you have it - problem solved :))) My heart goes out to the chubby girls, honestly, must take a lot of courage to face all the difficulties.

  • I would say both can have their issues, though chubby girls are not really as rejected as people talk about. Lots of guys are in relationships with chubby girls and I love 'em. Though it's seen as more normal for a guy to be slim so they might have it easier, though too slim can look bad on a guy.

  • Where's the option for 'Chubby' Guy cause realistically speaking, they have it the hardest.

  • It's waaaaay harder to be a chubby girl (me).

    • Same. I used to be a former chubby girl.

    • Don't want to sound dirty but it would be hard for me to reject you because of your body if I saw that chest. It's definitely not as as hard as you believe. :)

    • Says the girl who gets hit on all the time :P

  • I think it's tougher to be chubbier for both guys and girls. My littler sister said she actually has a thing for leaner guys.

    Never really heard anyone preferring chubby guys, I think being chubbier for both genders is probably tougher.

  • Short guy is the hardest
    Source : 5ft6 guy

  • Skinny guys seem to be "in" these days

  • In HS its more acceptable for a guy to be skinny than it is for a girl to be fat. So I would say it is harder for the girl.

    After HS, I think the fat girl would have the advantage when it comes to finding casual hookups, while the skinny guy would have an easier time getting into relationships.

  • I think the both have difficulties in the dating world because of stereotypes

  • I think a fatter girl is just about the hardest. I think most skinny guys end up in relationships. But you're right, both things make it more difficult.

  • Id say its about equal. I used to be super skinny, but never had a huge problem dating the girls i wanted. And I've seen plenty of thicker girls dating really attractive guys. Some people even prefer these two body types over whats normally considered "ideal." I know guys that prefer thick girls and since bulking up I've even been told by a couple girls i was too muscular. Tastes vary

  • skinny guys can still be really hot
    chubby girls it s pretty relative
    plus a girl rely on her looks more than a guy
    so if the guy had the personality brains and charisma, being skinny like that wouldn t be an issue at all.

    • True physical features are more important For girls in tthe dating world , where as guys can still rely on other as sets.

    • @Jacksfull7 exactly ^^

  • It is harder to be a skinny guy.

  • Chubby girls are completely ignored

    • Exactly or they are bullied for their appearance. I know this first hand being a former fat chick.

    • Yeah, being a skinny guy seems easier

  • Out of those, it's harder to be a chubby girl. Although I think chubby guys have it harder than both
