Who wants to date an obese chick!?!

View More Posts Ignore
Im 19yrs old and I've never had a relationship many ppl find this weird. I know some of my family members probably think Im gay bc I dont have a boyfriend. I always tell them the same thing, im too busy for a bf. When the truth is Im too selfconscience to even be with a guy. I went to another state for college bc I wanted to experience the wild college scene and you know meet ppl, date and etc. But I find myself so insecure and ugly. When a guy even looks at me I feel like he's doing it to mock me. Or if a guy ask me my name and wants to get my # I always think its bc of a joke or something. Most of the time when guys do try to hit on me I get offended bc I think they are playing around. Bc seriously who wants to date an obese chick? Im trying to gradually build confidence but Idk sometimes I dont even want guys looking at me and other times I wish that I could have a bf that could comfort me and hold me. What do yall think? Is any1 out there in the same boat? Whats your dating situation?

" I have been with both obese n anerexic women,it's what's inside that matters.I've been with women that coulda been playboy models.
I met my wife online on a poetry site and fell in love with her right away 3 or 4 days later I asked her for a picture. she was heavier than I was/am, that didn't matter. I am in love with who she is.
she had a gastric bypass and now has extra skin,
I know alot of men who don't look at size or looks but whats inside you. I know some men who love a big butt.
like others have said,it's confidence , you don't have to feel like you are the sexiest thing on earth , just love yourself for who you are. "

" Honey, you are beautiful. There's no need to feel uncomfortable with yourself. Big girls deserve love too, and in time, you will become more confident. If you don't believe it, check out Torrid.com. I ALWAYS shop there, because the women who work there are big too, and the clothes make you feel beautiful. I used to be where you are, and after I finished school, I discovered this: Confidence is much more important than size. I promise, just start telling yourself you ARE beautiful, and it will be true. Just smile, because nature is on your side in this one, honey. "

" i am a obese gal and now am married. I never really tried at dating i just got asked out. I have youger sisters one 19 and one 17 the both weigh the same. one gets asked out alot and the other occasionally. and you know the only difference is confiedence. the 19 is who she is andlove it or leave it, and people are drawn to that. the 17 is quite and is nervous, but her self down alot and that puts people off. so chin up and smile even if you have to fake it. you will believe it. and i know it is hard to go out due to fear but why wouldn't some one want you, you are very pretty. they are asswhole out there no matter the size. and you have to think which is worse never getting your first kiss or have to kick one looser to the kirb? you can do it. there is some one out there for everyone.

" I love thick girls...I would prefer a thick girl over a thin girl anyday. I feel the same way. I am now married, but my hubby is pretty hot.. I have no clue how he found me. When we met, I was drunk and then he kept coming aroudn wanting to hang out and I was really surprised.. because like you said.. who want a fat chick.. there are guys out there..but you are pretty cute so I would not worry too much about it.. What the problem is is our confidence. Once I get my weight off (I start a medical diet tomorrow) I know I will have more confidence !!!! but you're cute.. dont worry too much about it.. go to a club or something. Take a phone number if someone gives it to you.. a guy wont go out of his way if he does not mean it "

" I want to date an obese chick! This probably doesn't help you since I'm a woman and old enough to be your mother, but my GF is obese (as am I), and I know that there are many people out there who find us big girls attractive. And, judging from your pic, you are definitely attractive. "

" Imagine what it would be like if everyone were blind and could not "judge" you based on your appearance. What would make you attractive to someone then? I bet you have a wonderful sense of humor, or maybe you are a kind, compassionate caring person. Think about what qualities would make YOU want to date someone, other than the physical part. Are you selling yourself short? I would put money on it. You sound like an intelligent young woman who doesn't see the INNER beauty in herself yet. Keep in mind that when YOU love yourself, others will not be able to resist you! "
