I don't believe it.

I know I used to be a super hottie when I was thinner. This because I would be hit on constantly, which was no fun by the way. Also I can look at the pictures from that time and be objective.

Anyhow these days I'm a UK size 18 and US 14-16. I have just started dating again and need to boost my self confidence. The point of this thread is to get some confirmation that I can be fat and attractive!

Without pics you're a Asexual Internet being.

Me too, Salome. I was never thin. I have very bad skin, and that counteracts all of my other beauty imo.

indeed... We can't very well tell you you're attractive if we don't know what you look like. Do you just want to be lied to?

You CAN be attractive even if you're fat. I find larger women more attractive than skinny ones. But there are also other ways in which you can be attractive; more important ones. True beauty comes from within one's heart, not the outer layer of skin.

I could link to some pics I guess but the point was that I wanted to know if it's possible to be fat and attractive. I' m fairly hourglass shaped.

Yes, a woman can be fat and attractive if she has a very pretty face with no double chin and a waist that's smaller than her chest (hourglass figure), like Christina Hendricks.

(I'm talking about just looks here.)

Look at the thread posted on what guys find attractive. Most every single guy liked the cuvry girls. You're likely a-ok.

I know the feeling. While the circumstances are reversed i always have my friends call me attractive. But it doesnt seem that way, and thus i dont feel that way. im far too skinny for a guy to be attractive. Im probably seen as laughable at best

If you are "hourglass-shaped" and does not look unhealthy, then yes. In fact, most guys I know (myself included) tend to prefer that kind of build for women.

Depends. I don't know how accurately you rate yourself. Are you really fat or just not really thin? And if you're fat, try to lose weight, as obvious as that sounds. I was pretty hot myself when I had normal weight (not even thin, just "normal"), and then I gained 16 lbs due to a disease (yes, really) and so far I've been to lazy to lose them... and I noticed that I'm definately getting less attention.. I used to get at least 2 compliments per week and now it's probably been months since the last one.. really frustrating

Oh man. My Aspie brain totally didn't get that at first. I was close to asking you why you know how I look like. :oops:

I've met several quite attractive women who aren't exactly thin. So yes, they exist :lol: .
