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.
In the dating world, is it harder to be a chubby girl or a skinny guy?

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.

What Girls & Guys Said
29 52Since the vast majority of guys are shallow and only like skinny girls... its harder for chubby girls. We live in a body shaming culture.
probably fatter.
Any reason why?
more unattractive not to mention unhealthy.
@RainbowFanGirl my exact point. ^
I think that's sad because I was a former fat chick. I was either ignored by guys or bullied for being fat. I was even bullied for eating a salad once.
Well you shouldn't have been bullied that's wrong, but the difference is that it's not really unheathly to be a little skinny. However when it comes to being fat/obese it's catastrophically unhealthy eventually it gets to the point were your body can't even sustain itself and your organs start shutting down or not working right. People who are fatter need to be made aware of how dangerous it is.
It messed up my body a little. I have stretch marks on my stomach for losing weight so fast but that's about it. Overall I feel better about myself and all together entirely.
Good ^^.
Chubby girl
Why else would girls only post the most flattering pics of them, making them look skinny? But then when they meet up he's usually angry cuz she lied.
Not very beneficial to do that lol
It's much more difficult for the chubby girls because it's easier to find a girl who likes skinny guys, but it's not easy to find a guy who likes chubby girls.
Dudes care more about looks than chicks, but I've seen a fair amount of chubby chasers, which I didn't know was really a thing outside the internet and poor areas until I went to North Carolina 😂
I personally don't like skinny guys
Why?
I dated one and I didn't felt comfortable. I'm a curvy girl also
And that is my preference
Oh I see. Fair enough :)
Yep 😄
You exclude a large group of guys who could date you. :(
@FinnishViking And I'm not allowed to have preferences? How sad are you?
It's your business.
@FinnishViking Thank you very much 😆
Where is the opinion for fat guys? As far as I am concerned... they have it the HARDEST.
They do but the take was about being skinny. 😝
From a physical attraction standpoint, guys of any shape, or size don't have it near as hard as girls of any shape, or size. Girls are judged far more on their bodies than men are.
It's harder as a "nice guy" than both of them. I know some chubby girls with over a 100 partner count. I know thin guys that get women. Never seen a soft male do well with women ever. When it comes to finding a good partner, everyone has their problems. But a chubby girl will get laid more than the dudes.
I'm so gonna shaft your take. You are wrong. From a former nice guy who is missing out on group sex with chubby girls tonight.
It's harder to be a fat girl. You'll be invisible to most men
I think it's all about equal. As a chubby guy and dropped 8 pants sizes
so far i find ladies were less attracted to me than when i was more heavier
but i think i look more handsome now i loss weight.
Good for you! :) I dropped 50 pounds after being close to being obese and I also feel better. I'm almost at a normal weight which took about a year and a half to lose.
Thank You :D :P
But girls don't ever initiate lol so it isn't hard at all.
You voted for skinny?
I voted both.
Probably being chubby, sadly. Body shaming is a very sad thing.
(This is for @RainbowFanGirl , not OrangeBoy) Well I actually prefer slightly wider-framed women. I don't mean that I like *tubby* women (as hypocritical as that is coming from me [sigh]), more that I'd take Mei over Tracer, a dwarf woman over an elf chick, or Charley Chase over Alexis Texas.
The girl in the pic isn't all that chubby, so by that standard, definitely Mr. Scrawny pants. Now, if she was fat, then it'd definitely be her. Fat chicks are gross.
I think that both have but i haven't seen that a lot. I saw chubby girls with skinny guys and also different things.
I've always thought that chubby people have it harder. I'm more a skinny guy and I honestly never really felt like that was holding me back, I can't complain.. But my brother was judged for dating a fat girl, like 'You can get better, come on'.
Of course the girl is a really wonderful person and they are like meant to be, but the judging will always be there, which is a pity
It depends. The more chubby or the more skinny you are, the more trouble in dating you'll have. You want to have a nice healthy balance with your body.
It doesn't matter if it's a woman or a man. Both can have equally a hard time dating.
Chubby girl
It plays a factor, people will not date s chubby girl if they do not prefer it. Its the same thing as people who will not date certain skin tones
I say chubby chicks, weird but there are women who love skinny/weak guys who are incapable of even defending theirselves. But its diffrent by men, most of us want chicks who are in a good shape and curvy.
There was a chubby girl when I was in highschool she said she liked me, but I rejected her cause of her being chubby. Thats how it works by most of men.
Chubby girl, skinny guys get laid quite often. But its also harder to be a fat guy than it is to be a fat girl.
