girls - fat tummies

anon because i'd rather people didn't know i was fat! are there any guys who actually don't mind a bit of a belly on a girl? i've heard that some guys don't mind a bit of a cuddly tummy on a girl, but i've actually NEVER come across one - everyone goes for the slim ones, surely? it's a pain though for those who enjoy their food!

A tummy is often accompanied by a brilliant rack, so I'm sure many boys would be quickly distracted. :smile:
i'm a bit of a fatty. i've never had problems getting guys. :dontknow:
when you say a bit of a belly though, do you mean a bit of a belly or a massive belly?
Eurgh, I kept thinking that last night when the guy I liked was round mine, and his arm was around my belly. Thinking 'must suck fat in..'

hullabaloo, i'm exactly the same.

i don't mean an absolutely huge belly, but quite a bit of fat. and normal sized boobs. not painting a great picture here but there you go. :s-smilie:
haha well yeah i think the same about me and have a belly.... but i too have never had any problems getting guys or attention from guys.
Sorry but it's all about confidence and personality. I think many guys will agree with me on this one.

The girl might be the most toned up, model looking girl in the world but if she hasn't got an ounce of confidence then she'd got no chance of hell in finding someone who loves her.

But also I do believe that most guys *going from what I've seen on this forum* while hugging a thin girl are afraid of "snapping" her.

Lol, I'm sure it's pretty normal though. My best friend was like well I'd rather have a bit of a belly, than no boobs (she has AAs).

Well it's not a big belly...when I stand up it's perfectly fine, just the lying on side, the fat shows then, and I get annoyed and insecure with him. I may just result to sleeping on top of him :p:

sometimes I find girls who are bit chubby quite sexy. I know I cannot speak for every man out there, but presumably there are some men who wouldn't mind a few extra pounds here and there.

I dont mind a little, as i'm into fitness, health etc i'd prefer there not to be much

i know this is really cliched but the right guy will like you for who you really are, not the way you look. almost all of the attention i've had from guys has been ones that have gotten to know me.

oh yeah...sometimes I still get really ashamed of my belly too.
a couple of weeks ago I stuffed myself with takeaway, and was lying on my back on the bed, feeling totally disgusted with myself and heard my boyfriend coming across the landing and I was like 'oh no, must.....look.....sexy....' attempted to suck my belly in but I just couldn't do it.
so yeah....even when you know that a person doesn't care about your belly you still get self concious of it sometimes. the most important thing is just to get comfortable with it yourself (easier said that done!)

Don't mind at all, nice to have a girl with a bit of substance to her. Before quality of looks though, comes personality
i have quite large thighs and a tubby-tummy, and i've never had a problem in getting guys. some of them were arseholes who only wanted sex...but all the same, not a problem. like people have said, i think it is personality from the genuine guys.

at my very lowest, when I had zero confidence in myself, was in the midst of a deep depression and was contemplating suicide, someone fell in love with me.
so confidence isn't a be all and end all either. though i agree, there is a link between confidence and attractiveness.
I really like bigger girls the only thing that bothers me is when girls have tons of stretch marks and/or loads of crevaisse like gaps in skin and such.

They really don't y'know. has been scientifically proven (by err, drunken Ally) 6-8 stone Ally got no guys. 9 stone something Ally, yes gets paranoid about it, but gets a lot more guys.

Anyway, why would you want a guy who, if you like food, is going to say 'i'm not having sex with you until you lose weight. put the croissant DOWN and have a nice tictac for breakfast instead'?

you look cute enough for a guy not to notice you're overweightness. plus you seem not to care about being overweight, so guys appreciate that :smile:

i'm an observer. i observe people a lot, i generally notice that "unattractive" and some rather overweight girls look much more cheerful than those "hot mamas" that most guys dig. These "hot girls" all have that fake smile which most guys take it as a "great smile", but I personally know the difference:smile: i think that's because these hot mamas are so insecure about their looks... and insecurity is always a turn off, in guys or girls no matter.

Personally I dont even go for "hot" girls anymore. I'd rather have a girl who is average-looking and happy with herself, than someone who is "hot-as-balls" and always insecure and whining. :smile:

As for the "unattractive" girls out there (now I'm not making a bias, don't get me wrong), there's always ways you can make yourself look better. I'm not talking about plastic surgery. But if you can dress well, wear make-up, do a little bit of gym and be happy with your life, and I'm sure guys will start falling for you.:smile:

Remember, guys go for looks when they want "sex". But when they are looking for a girlfriend, they choose personality over looks. I do. I don't know about others out there.

My thoughts exactly. In the end confidence and personality are what counts most. Then again, I don't see anything bad in being a bit chubby (only more to hug in my opinion :biggrin: ) And yes not many of us are really attracted to super thin girls that much anymore...

Bah don't worry many guys like tubby girls, just gain the confidence and you'll be fine.

Dunno. When you put your arm round her and shes got a bit of a belly on her it aint great. Big thighs and arms are preferable to rounded stomach for me. But everyones different and thats what makes life so interesting. :smile:
