Depends on height.

250 pounds at 5' 6" is beyond chubby.

250 pounds at 5' 11" is chubby

250 pounds at 6' 2" is pretty much "average"


I'm not going to pretend to give out relationship advice in my predicament, but as far as meeting women goes, there is no formula.

It all depends on the people involved. Just be yourself and put yourself out there. Always worked well for me.

Well... my boyfriend was a chubby college student and he hung out with a couple of equally hefty guys, the kind that could demolish a good buffet table. lol. Finding a girlfriend wasn't a problem for them back them. In fact, his best friend (a big Jewish guy) from college just married his college sweetheart and she is a pretty petite blonde Southern belle type.

I think what works if you are overweight or not a perfect ten guy is not being self conscious about your weight, being good company and knowing how to make the girls laugh. Also not acting desperate for a girlfriend is important too. In college, women just want to have fun and good times, they really don't want to be all serious about love and be thinking about marriage.

I think it depends on the man. The person he is. Not the weight he is.

Also, the females around him... are they able to date a man who is so called chubby? Would this be a problem for her?

We don't know. We cannot forecast individuals. Individuals, however, can put themselves out there, in this world, how they want to be perceived as a person. By their actions, sometimes speaking louder than words.

Now if these women around him are shallow, and dont care about the person inside, I say no.

And if this man, also is shallow, only looking for the perfect ten, no.

Am I going to hit the back button? Does my post mean anything in the world? LOL

Have no idea, but it is friday and what the heck... submit reply

I'm sorry, I might be a kill-joy here, but I don't understand these silly questions and polls!!!

Don't our partners "find" us? No matter what body type, skin color, cultural background?

Love is blind and to speculate that there is are groups of one type uniting in their preferences is just down right......I'm speechless.

Don't these posters know that these questions say more about their own insecurities than about who they are asking about?

It's like me asking:

"Do all 40-something homebuilders with beautiful salt and pepper hair NOT want to date a witty and wise domestic goddess with a colostomy?"

The word chubby has positive connotations. I believe women in general and not only those in college and between the ages of 19 and 25, are willing to go out with a man who is confident about his appearance. Having said that I would guess having the choice most women would still prefer to have a lean boyfriend or husband.

Extra weight is not just about looks. It is important from a health perspective. Keep in mind there are people who have a naturally endomorphic/pyknic (read Sheldon and Kretschmer) body form. They are chubby. You cannot do anything about that. It is not the same as being overweight although they are more likely to get obese.

You get more attention with girls if you are considered good looking. That is just an audience. It does mater if you have the body of Marcus Schenkenberg instead of Danny De Vito. Tall stature help. Money does too. Women do not focus on looks as much as guys do. Guys who are good looking do not actually pick and choose. You still need to display your value to a woman.

I would also say this... that in general, an average body type young woman is more willing to date a chubby male than an average body type young male is willing to date a chubby woman. Men are just more obsessed with the visual aspect of dating and also feeling the need to impress their other male friends by dating the best looking female that will have them. But with a woman, if you can prove your inner worth to them, they will still love you. And part of that goes along with women having a tendency to be more supportive and aceepting, and also seeing someone's potential and trying to change them for the better (which is also seen as a fault), and that is also why we are the motherers and the nurturers of the family.

I'm the same way (even with the same term! :P) and I'm 20. I prefer a chubby guy over a sinewy guy any day.

That said, I'm also overweight due to a plethora of health issues, and I've NEVER had trouble getting a date despite being plus-sized- and I'm not relegated to dating *only* chubby guys. I really think it's all about attitude. If you go around thinking "oh me oh my I'm big no one will like me", then no, no one will like you. If you're proud of yourself for what you are, it shines out and people really take notice.

Chubby = built for comfort!!! I'd rather a big comforting bear hug from a guy with a little meat on his bones, than be hugged by someone skinny or with a hardbody. I agree that I would not want my partner to be fat in an unhealthy way.
