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.

Well, that depends. If a girl is chubby in right places then she might be considered very attractive by lots of guys. If a guy is not very skinny and is athletic then he won't have much problems either.
i'll say both., but i think chubby chicks more.
100% harder to be a chubby girl, didn't even have to read the description. Girls have a sort-of defined line their bodies are confined to in beauty. The amount of guys that are into chubby girls or think they are cool is a much smaller number than girls who prefer skinny guys
Fat girl AND fat guy. Society somehow thinks it's more to be skinny than fat smh
YOU'RE BACK!!! YAY!!! :D :D :D
@helloitsmethere sadly lol
I suppose chubby girl. Some guys like chubby though
I don't think it's hard being either one of them tbh. There are many more worse things you could be.
you forgot... fat guys are the hardest...
I've seen lots of fat guys with girlfriends haha. I didn't know that.
I lost mine coz I put on few pounds... I always had to work extra hard coz I was a few pounds more than other guys.. that's me in my dp.. there's no abs there.. or maybe people where I am are shallow as fcuk...
@RainbowFanGirl Yeah, but I think a lot of those fat guys got fat AFTER the relationship started.
@johndoe3000 that's very true.. but there's always the luck factor, chubby chasers (for chicks only) and rich fatguys.. @rainbowfangirl.. which fat guy has ever gotten the girl over some ripped gym nut? money and power and luck is all us fat people have... without it... we finish last.. a mile after the "good guys" lol
Some girls like skinny guys but no one like a fat or chubby guy
I am chubby some and I have a girlfriend
@MysteriousDarkness I meant based on physical attraction they must like other things in you
Yea unfortunately it's hard for all overweight people.
Where I live I see a lot of big women and big guys with someone
Neither! They can both be ideal to someone
It depends on the age of the person I guess.
It's probably harder for a chubby girl as a teen and as an adult it's probably harder for a skinny guy.
Im not dating fat girls, i can't go out in public with a fat girl.
Why?
I feel ashamed when my guy friends see me with them. Also they are not healthy.
Well you shouldn't because they are like any other girl. I'm not super skinny but my boyfriend likes to show me off. He even went around telling our friends that I was his wife.
Lol im not gonna go in public with a girl that has a body of the girl you posted. I dont believe in this fat is beautiful bullshit. She can go tocthe gym before she has a chance with me.
That's sad…
Why? Because i have standards? Are you serious?
I don't care about your standards, really. 😛 I'm just sympathetic to people trying to lose weight because I used to be fat.
Im not dating fat degenerates either way.
Okay.
You know if they are in the process of losing i support them. But i can't accept this new fat beauty standard.
Mhm. That's what I was referring to. I respect people who are trying to lose weight.
I think skinny guy
being fat is almost always worse than being skinny
she's obese, not fat.
Nobody asked. I asked which you thought was harder.
neither. both can get dates. both DO get dates. just saying she's obese.
I was quite skinny and i had girls who liked me strong skinny though or strong for my age.
