Guys: am I too fat?

This is a question to the guys, or girls even?

  • I am 21 years old. I’m 5’6” and 160lbs. Would most guys consider this too fat? I’m from the Uk and wear dress size 12/14 which I think in the US is a 8/10 (could be wrong)

The reason I am asking is becuase I have been single for almost 3 years. I am totally lonely and I meet guys on a fairly regular basis at college but no one is interested in me ever.

Any advice? What do you guys look for in a girl? Or am I just too over weight?

THanks.

Answer #1

Right on heathershaw05. Healthwise, you should start to slowly drop some weight, like over the next year or so. But personality and confidence is better bait for attracting long term relationships.

Good Luck !! and keep on working on that degree.

Answer #2

I don’t know if your weight has anything to do with you not getting any guys because you are not very much overwieght according to the body mass index calculator:

Height: 5 feet, 6 inches Weight: 160 pounds

Your BMI is 25.8, indicating your weight is in the overweight category for adults of your height. BMI Weight Status Below 18.5 Underweight 18.5–24.9 Normal 25.0–29.9 Overweight 30.0 and Above Obese

I would suggest working out and maybe getting down to a size 7/8 (in US terms) or so… maybe that will give you the confidence boost that you need! But, any guy that you find is worth your time will like you for your personality more than your looks, remember that! Good luck!
