I am a fat man (6'1" 300 lbs) and have been for a long time and I have been dating a skinny girl for two years. Before that, though it was always really hard to get a girl and when talking to them, even though they tried to be nice, I could always tell they were not interested and I assume it had something to do with my weight. My girlfriend tells me she likes my weight because I'm warm, fun to cuddle with, and make her feel safe . I think really what it is is that she loves me and doesn't care if I'm fat or not. Not all skinny girls like fat guys. Most of the ones I talk to see it as a turnoff. Some girls do like fat men though. That being said being fat sucks. It is not a good thing and its never a bad idea for seriously overweight people to try to shed some pounds.
