In a world filled with super models, bodybuilders, celebrities, and athletes who constantly grace the cover of magazines, it can be easy to look at our bodies with shame. Many times, we feel fat, inadequate, and pale in comparison to the other attractive men on the market.
If you’ve ever felt ugly for being fat and overweight, it’s understandable given how society has programmed us. There are, however, many attractive qualities to being fat. I’m not saying that it’s okay to be obese or unhealthy, but there are advantages to being “bigger.”
I would even argue that “fat” guys have many advantages over guys that appear physically fit. Below are 5 reasons why fat guys are attractive.
1.Less Arrogant
There are always exceptions to the rule, but sometimes when guys become very physically fit and obtain an impressive physique, they start to get very arrogant. Arrogance, in general, is a very unattractive quality.
When your physique is not bodybuilder-quality, you don’t necessarily have an impressive physique to brag about. This causes you to be a bit more humble and willing to learn, grow, and change. When you exhibit a humble attitude, women will pick up on this and find it quite attractive.
2.Try Harder
Sometimes when one appears physically attractive, they become so confident that they almost feel as though they don’t have to try as hard anymore. When one feels as though they’re physically unattractive, they sometimes develop an inner desire to compensate by improving other aspects of their character.
This desire to compensate for lack of physical beauty can lead them to excel phenomenally in other areas of life like their personality, finances, spiritual accomplishments, sense of style, intellect, and a myriad number of other skills.
3.Athletic Bodies are Overrated
There are a lot of men out there who think that having big muscles and a six-pack is the key to being attractive. While those physical attributes can certainly help, they will not help you when it comes to long-term attraction.
There are many other attributes that contribute to one’s level of beauty, such as attitude, communication skills, compassion, sense of humor, facial features, hobbies, and hygiene. Possessing strengths in one or more of those categories will significantly make you an attractive person, despite how big you think your belly is.
Also, contrary to popular belief, an athletic body can be a turnoff for many women. Some women look at bodybuilders and feel a bit intimidated. Even men with moderately athletic bodies can be a less-than-ideal appearance for women because it highlights their own insecurity. As crazy as it may sound, some women prefer guys who have worse bodies than they do because it makes them feel better about their own body image.
4.Cuddly
Although this argument is quite subjective, some women think that bigger men are more “cuddly.” Bigger guys provide more mass for women to hold on to. If a guy is smaller and leaner, cuddling may not provide the same sense of comfort and security that many women love to experience.
This is a big advantage for a lot of you guys who have large bellies. By providing your woman with a large belly to hug and squeeze, you’ve giving her an opportunity to feel comfortable around you. Think of yourself as a gigantic teddy bear or other type of cute, stuffed animal. A lot of women love the feeling of cuddling a large stuffed animal. It provides a sense of whimsical love that’s difficult to describe in logical terms.
5.Some Women Prefer Fat Guys
Last, but not least, some women simply prefer fat guys. Yes, you heard that correct! Some women honestly prefer fatter guys over skinny and even fit guys. I know that it can be hard to believe, but there are plenty of women out there who love guys with a little meat on their body.
Like men, women have many different preferences when it comes to body type. If you consider yourself a “fat” guy, don’t sell yourself short. Some women hate the appearance of big muscles. Some women hate six-pack abs. Some women hate it when guys spend all day at the gym. Your body type, on the other hand, might be the body type of her dreams.
Again, I’m not saying that it’s okay to be unhealthy. I’m not saying it’s okay to be obese. I’m definitely not saying that being fat guarantees your status as a sex symbol. The main point that I’m trying to communicate is to not think of yourself as unattractive if you’re overweight.
There are plenty of advantages that fat guys bring to the table. It’s important to be healthy, but there’s no need to get depressed over carrying some extra body fat. You’re attractive in your own unique way, and there’s plenty of women out there who would love to date you!
