Anyone else prefer a heavy man to a skinny man?

Just that really. Just watching a video of Luke Combs. He’s heavy but sexy! My DH is heavy and 6 ft 3. Wouldn’t swap him for a skinny man ever!!

Agree. I don't like skinny/thin men either. MAMILs with their runners faces. No ta. Give me a beefy man with some timber on him any day. Preferably 6+ inches taller than me. So at least 5 ft 10.

DecafGreen · 18/10/2024 21:21

No way. I prefer an athletic physique.

YourLastNerve · 18/10/2024 21:21

I don't find overweight people attractive. I don't like overly muscled types that look like they live in the gym knocking back protein types. Beyond that i think if you are fit and healthy you can look good.

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 18/10/2024 21:23

No way, not heavy or skinny.

Give me a bug, muscly gym bod preferably with tattoos and a neat beard 😍

Mumof1andacat · 18/10/2024 21:23

Yes big and tall. I'm only 5 foot. Dh is 6 ft 2 inches. Built like a rugby player. He does have a belly but I don't mind at all. I like broad shoulders and big thighs.

DrinkElephants · 18/10/2024 21:24

I was about to agree, my husband is 6ft 2 and about 95kg. He’s muscly, goes gym, and I wouldn’t ever be attracted to a skinny guy. But the guy you mentioned I’ve googled and nooo way! To me he is fat and scruffy which I’m not attracted to.

RoynJamie · 18/10/2024 21:25

God no. Much prefer skinnier men. I find dad bods repulsive 😂

Jessie1259 · 18/10/2024 21:05

No, I don't find fat attractive at all, even when you call it 'heavy' or any other euphemism.

It's really not attractive. I like muscle but not too much muscle

Notimeforaname · 18/10/2024 21:27

Skinny men all the way! I've always preferred skinny men but with a little muscle. Hate big muscley bodybuilders and I'm a personal trainer 😂

Here's a cut-out mask for Luke C fans. Print on A4:

Hankunamatata · 18/10/2024 21:28

Nope. Prefer lean build with rock climber style muscles

buffyfaithspike · 18/10/2024 21:30

Any of these will do Grin

Maria1979 · 18/10/2024 21:31

Rather overweight than skinny man. But absolutely not muscle gym obsessed. That's a real turnoff for me.

Thebellofstclements · 18/10/2024 21:31

Do you mean fat? Or muscley which weighs a lot.

BruFord · 18/10/2024 21:32

Definitely prefer a more upholstered man!

What a perfect description, @BiggerBoat1 !

I’ve always preferred some upholstery as well, rugby player physiques. I’m a small build and like a man who looms over me. 😂

coffeeandteav · 18/10/2024 21:10

I wouldn't want a man smaller than me.

I once read never date a mam whose jeans you can't fit into. It has stuck with me.

Bit limiting if you're actually looking for personal qualities?

My now DH was an absolute stick when I met him. His arms were so skinny it was slightly repulsive. But other bits of him (!) were not and I'm so so happy with him in every department 26 years on. Plus he's got a bit sturdier and is no longer really skinny.

Worth the investment and not overthinking looks if you really like em

stopthepigeonstopthepigeon · 18/10/2024 21:33

No, not really. I wouldn’t find either very thin or overweight attractive.

Snoken · 18/10/2024 21:36

No, I really don't find fat attractive at all on men. It usually ends up in all the wrong places (gut, love handles) but I think women with a bit of fat can be attractive though. But only if they are curvy with hips/boobs rather than apple shape for example. I like a man to be tall and lean, not skinny. I'm also tall and lean so maybe that's why that is what attracts me, I don't know.

Gowlett · 18/10/2024 21:38

Much prefer a heavy set, hairy fella. Always have.
Never heard of this guy… But I like Travis Kelce!

rooshoe · 18/10/2024 21:41

Agreed. My MIL keeps crowing about the 2st weight loss of my BIL. It's aged him 10 years and he has the gaunt face of a frail old man now. Give me DH and his round tummy and big face any day.

GroovyChick87 · 18/10/2024 21:43

Somewhere in the middle but would go for an slightly overweight guy than a very skinny guy.

look at Terry Hollands who models for 'BadRhino' superfit, just bought some shirts for my other half who looks amazing in them 👌

I remember we used to say that in the late 80s/90s! We'd all be trying on our BFs 501s. Unfortunately we took it as a guide to whether we were too fat rather than whether the guy was too small.

HarrisObviously · 18/10/2024 21:57

Longer beards give me the 'ick' so no thanks.

Oh heck, @meeeeeee1234, I’m weak at the knees.
