how much does your weight affect you?

[OddManOut85]

ok.im overweight.not obses,but fat.i finally started losing weight earlier this summer.i want to get down to at least 170.so,my question is,how much does weight affect your success with the ladies? i mean,fat,skinny,built,husky,etc,we all want to get with hot chicks.or at the least pretty chicks.so,aside from trying to lose weight,what can i do to be able to attract pretty girls? i mean,with all this talk of looks on the board,lets be honest.hot girls go for hot guys mostly.it seems even average looking or kinda ok looking,or even straight up ugly girls still go for the attractive guy.right?

A lot.
I went from around 264lbs (120kg) to 209lbs (95kg) and the dealing with women is noticeably easier, the success is better etc. It's a very, very important factor. I'm looking to lose 22lbs (10kg) more to be lean. I used to be that guy when you looked at him and well, you knew he was fat. Now I'm regular, maybe a bit on the strong side but I'm going to lose 10kg in fat until new years or even more.

Most of the noticable differences are in the head. As you lose weight,bulk up or whatever you are shotting for comes closer and closer to completion you confidence shoots up.

Don't get me wrong it helps to be average over obese,or muscular over skinny.

dude just run.. every day.. you will love it when you have a six pack.. i think what happens is you will have lots of confidence, so girls will notice you will not have to try that hard they will come to you when they see it.

I'm overweight too I'm kind of stocky like george constanza, but i'm solid though so if a girl touches me she won't feel the fat she'll feel the muscle.But Don't feel bad though if you work at a demanding job you'll start to lose weight quickly, without trying.

yeah.lol.i guess im "kind of stocky like george costanza as well".i work at a physcially demanding job.and i guess thats helped.its just,what kills me,is i have had all this time to get in shape,and i havent.its my own fault.

I'm the complete opposit. I'm much too light (5'7 at 135 lb.). I'm going back to weight lifting to build some muscle mass.
Psychologically it has effected me much. It always make me feel bad about my appearance. I constantly feel self concious when going out.

I went from 260 down to 175, and than built up to 210 which I'm at now. Confidence has shot through the roof. The road is rough but well worth it in the end. If you have the will power than anything is possible.

You live with your body your entire life, make it something to be proud of.

I was at 294 3 months ago, and it did affect me in a very very big way, mainly with self worth and courage.

Im now at 253, and hoping to be at 220 by christmas, and altho im far from an acceptable weight, im beginning to notice a girl checking me out from time to time , and confidence levels are skyrocketing.
