I've started liking chubby guys. Is it weird?

Hey :smile: Basically, I've started liking chubby guys. I'm 21, my first boyfriend - and i'm not saying they're all like this, but he was so big headed because he was a handsome lad and had a 6pack. He was quite rude, called me "chubby" when I'm slim, and he was more interested in himself.

I left it a few years before I bothered with someone. Right from school, there was a guy who always liked me (his best friend told me) but he was too shy to say anything. He was one of those guys where you could really get on with him and have a nice laugh, but you wouldn't really have him as anything more than a friend.

We hadn't seen eachother for ages since school. I guess things changed, he's come out of his shell a bit and in January, he asked me out. He's one of the nicest, friendliest, funniest, most caring people you could ever meet. He always has time for me, isn't staring at himself, even though he's pretty attractive actually haha, and he's definitely not rude.

But, he's a big guy. He's not overweight, but he's carrying a bit extra. I'm not worried because he plays rugby every Sunday, goes cycling a lot, and although he eats a lot, it's healthy too. The thing is, I love it. He's cuddly and like a teddy bear and he's so nice to cuddle into. His belly hangs over, and it just looks sexy.

I was out shopping with a friend and she was picking out guys she liked the look of... the 6 pack, rolled up sleeves, muscle and veins every type. I love my boyfriends type... Guys with a belly, a cute look, and a bit of muscle. He' shy, he's funny, he's kind. Plus he's attractive. She called me "weird". Is it?

It's weirder to be asking if it's okay to be into what you're into. Why bother being worried if other people will think it's odd? In the end your happiness should be more important to you than other people's hypothetical snobbishness.
How is it weird? some people find fat people attractive and that's OK.

Nah its not weird. My bf was stick thin when we first met and over the years he's gained weight and has a gut on him now and it hasn't put me off him at all. I quite like the extra flab :tongue:

It's not weird, you are just transcending the modern media expectation stating that women desire a man with a rather lean physique c. 8-13%. This was based off the old evolutionary psychology model of men needing to be tall with functional muscles in the wilderness to protect and provide, although in truth these men would probably have a more 'bulky' build…I digress.

So you are a curiosity but a relieving one for myself anyway-not that I am chubby but I used to be and after experiencing the average woman's body expectations at 16 I have become rather scared of being fat again haha :smile:

Put more plainly I was always told 'women say they don't mind you being chubby but they really do', that belief is more or less responsible for a recent breakup, so are you telling me it might be wrong? Well I'll be happy with that!

are you saying that she's lying and there's no chance this would happen on a widespread scale?

Nope. I just find the OP adorable from the way she describes her affection towards her boyfriend.

But I know where you're coming from though :wink:

please don't do that cynical wink face, I feel like you're laughing at me for being so fat and naive. I'm not even 160 pounds yet :/

:eek:

I meant that it's hard to find girls that like chubby guys (and admitting it). I winked at you because we know that it can be a bit hard to hear girls that honestly like chubby guys.

I think if your other half is overweight, there is less pressure on you to lose weight. If your other half was slim and fit and you are not, it makes you feel even fatter.
Chubby guys are better than six pack guys :colone:
If it was wierd, why would they have a BBW category on every single porn site?

not that i watch porn.....
