It honestly depends on where you are and who you’re seeing because it’s about people’s type but of course I am more confident and more out there when I’m at my fittest and I always strive to be fit.
Negatives? Unwanted attention. Positives? Wanted attention. When fellow women compliment you on the streets – that’s more of a boost for me than having some guy stare at me or smirk at me. Being fit is what matters.
Always been rather slim and fit. Think of a runner. That’s my body shape.
I’ve always been attracted to people based on personality more than looks and I’m kind of a nerd at heart, so I found within my dating pool that I had a really easy time getting 2nd dates, hook ups and people who wanted to date back in my dating days. It felt pretty easy.
Then I met my husband who I honestly feel is light years out of my league and not the type I usually go for, but turns out he became my absolute best friend and we have a ton in common in every aspect of life.
Most of the guys I dated before I didn’t feel like they were “out of my league” in regards to looks especially and the few I did find like that (just like stunningly conventionally handsome) in my dating days I found I had so little in common with. My husband is the best of both worlds!
I used to be 220 pounds but now I’m 118 pounds and the attention is much different I noticed. I get approached more with respect and certain men are attracted to me more than when I was bigger I attracted different type of men. Definitely prefer being this weight and I’m healthier and toned. I like the attention it comes with it’s more respectful this is just my personal experience. A lot of men I dated don’t really care that I’m thin too they think it’s great. Men didn’t care when I bigger too but definitely attracted all sorts of men when I was bigger
I have a slim, tall body type for some reason, older men almost 40 hit on me way more than guys my age, who are in their mid-twenties
i’ve got a body type pretty similar to sydney sweeney, my boobs are just a tad smaller than hers and my ribcage is just more narrow so it kinda looks like i have an hourglass body.
uhh as far as dating goes, i guess it has its advantages? there definitely is no shortage of men telling me my body looks good when i’m on a date with them. it’s kinda weird though, bc i feel like a butterface at times. it’s like no one wants me when i hide my shape with large t shirts and stuff. then one day i’ll wear something tight fitting and when they see it, all of a sudden i’m fuckable. it’s crazy how fast men switch up on treating you when they find you attractive enough to have sex with. i guess showing off my body made me realize how superficial a lot of men can be. it’s a bleak realization.
When I was in the dating world, back in the day, it made it a pain in the ass. Unwanted attention from older men- mostly my teachers. I was a pinup/rockabilly girl with a hourglass body and wore corsets. I was thin with great boobs and a taut round keister and teeny tiny waist.
And wanna know the creepiest bit? My dad tried to pass me off as his girlfriend during this time in my life 😬
i meet a lot of guys that think because i have thick thighs that automatically means i should let them touch me in such a “sexy” area. and dont let me have mentioned being insecure, then i should be grateful to be sexualized
Short. Hourglass.
Pros: most humans think my physique is desirable, opens doors to meeting lots of different kinds of people. I don’t have a “type”, so that works for me.
Cons: lots of sexual attention, lots of objectification from both men and women. People make assumptions. I have to be very selective with what I wear and where I wear it lol
