Exactly and that is a major fault of this forum IMO. Way too much generalising......

I asked my woman about this and she said, "no" when I asked her if she thought skinny was attractive on a guy. Whenever I change my exercise routines, she'll comment with something like, "I don't mind as long as you don't become like those skinny little runners."

I am 5'11" and fluctuate between 180-185 lbs.

My preference is....I want something to hang on to.
I don't want to hug a stick or a surfboard.
My hubby is 5'11 and hovers around 200. Perfect!

Again, my preference.

There are plenty of celebrity types and rock stars who are very skinny and they seem to have no trouble at all with the ladies. I guess you just can't make "blanket" assumptions about stuff like this. No matter who you are or how you're built, there's bound to be someone who will find you attractive.

I will answer the OP's question....

NO.

They do not like skinny guys.

Holy chit. Get straight to the nearest buffet.
Um, Ok? That wouldn't really make a difference considering metabolism and all that other jazz.

Ha, that's a good answer!

I eat NY steaks about four times a month and it never seems to make a difference, I also drink lots o milk considering I live in the dairy state.


hmmm, I will have to pick up on the weight lifting.

Women besides personality, because we all know looks do play a role in a relationship. What's your stance on skinny guys?


I don't have a problem with skinny guys. Actually, looking back, some of my best lovers were skinny as hell.....

Its actually the ones, people like to call teddy bears, that I'm put off by...
There is nothing sexy about blubber and fat.

I ran into this problem a long time ago when I was an avid runner. One day, me and the girl I was seeing got caught in a rain storm. We made it back to my place and got out of our wet clothes. She needed something dry so I let her grab something of mine, thinking it would be probably be too loose on her. While my shirts were too big for her, my pants weren't. That was embarrassing. After that incident, I changed my workouts to favor more muscle growth. She never said anything and I tried to make her feel better by saying the pants had been in the dryer too long, but I could tell she was mortified. Things were never the same after that. Most women I've talked to have said that they don't want a guy who's smaller than them, not just in terms of height, but also build.
