Pardon me for being blunt, but so what? You're overweight. If a girl really cares about you, she won't give a fuck whether you're overweight or not. A lot of people are overweight, and they can find people to date. The first thing I would say is, how about instead of sulking about your weight you go and put yourself out there, and actually try getting to know some girls and find a girlfriend. Now, if you're really that concerned about your weight, then try getting on an excercise regime and attempt to lose some weight. You're making it a bigger deal than it really is, I'm just going to be honest there. We're all here to support and help you, but don't sit around sulking and do nothing because you're all depressed about it. Go out there and fix it.

My mother is overweight, and my father still thinks she is the sexiest women alive.

My advice is to follow your heart. There are overweight kids who are still popular in schools. Girls focus a lot on personality and less about appearance than boys do. If you like a girl at school, then there is no reason to be shy to approach her. While you are working on flirting with her at school, go to the gym and sign up for sports to lose some weight. If you are not happy with your size, then work on it! Good luck with whatever you do!

I was in the same situation as you were at the beging of summer i was 6' and 250lbs......now Im 205lbs and all it took was a little bit of motivation.

If you want to lose weight, do it for yourself. No girl is flattered by a guy that does things purely to get with them. But we have many couples with the partners of different shapes, sizes and heights. You're totally ok as you are (: just be decent and clean and people will speak with you.

I'm over weight don't have girlfriend but have been asked out have some close female friends so girls don't really care

Honestly, if someone truly cared about you i don't think that it would matter whatsoever. If it really bothers you, you could loose weight. Remember, "There's Nothing Wrong With Loving Who You Are"-Lady Gaga

I'm underweight. Welcome to the imperfect world.

If a girl truly cares for you, then she won't care about your weight. There are a ton of people out there that are very superficial and won't give you the time of day because of the fact that you are overweight, but don't let that get you down or discourage you. The people who do that just aren't the right one's for you. Eventually you will meet a nice girl who doesn't care. Sulking around about it isn't going to do anything.

If your weight really bothers you that much, then sign up for a gym or just start doing some running around your neighborhood or something of the sort. However, if you are going to lose weight, do it for yourself., Don't do it simply because you want to get a girl.

Your post may have the answer in itself (But I'm overweight.) I maybe off track but the first thought that came to my mind after reading that short post was that this guy has decided already he's not worthy or going to get a girlfriend because he's overweight.

Girls like guys that are self-confident and have a sense of humor and these are the kind of things that will get your foot in the door so to speak. You need to make a positive first impression on her and then she will want to get to know you better after that it's up to who you are on the inside to impress her not the outside. Just a footnote but girls that will only go out with a guy because of his appearence is pretty shallow and would proably spend most of the time talking about themselves anyway and you don't want that.

I recommend eating less. Even if you stay overweight, though, who gives a damn?

i completely agree with this, and am just going to add on what others have been saying, but not for the end goal of getting a gf, but do it for urself. exercise, pick up a sport, do something :D and after a while you'll love it. i now love goin to the gym, i love the burn of working out really hard :D some people find that weird, but i love it. pick something up, if udont like it drop it and start somehing esle :D

also from a similar point of view from ur comment, i am really really hairy :P in y9 i was hairier than the 18y/os in y13, but i want to do something about it, and in the relative near future, i want to shave my body hair :D good luck mate :D

Girls do find confidence and a sense of humor important and they like those things but they never rule out appearances. I don't know why you want a girlfriend so badly. I understand wanting a specific person to be your girlfriend but wishing for a random person?

[Thizzy]

Don't change yourself. If someone loves you, he/she will accept you for who you are =]
