"I'm not your type"

Jump to newest
 

By *illlogan OP   Man

Essex

I get this a fair amount, both on fab and off of fab...

I happen to rather like a thicker woman (that's not to say I don't like slim women either) but in my vanilla life I've had a good mix of body types as partners, both thin and thick, some muscular, some softer.

But it seems that when I'm talking to a thicker woman, I always get something along the lines of "I'm not your type" "you're too in shape to like someone like me"

Now I kind of understand why a person might say something like this, but I just want to say, my physical shape doesn't affect what I find attractive in a woman, so ladies, please stop it, just accept the fact that slimmer guys can like thicker women just as much!

Anyone else experience something similar?

I have been guilty of saying that to people..

Having looked at your profile. This is where my insecurity goes..

You don't mention anything about liking bbw

Your verification, and yes we do look... Shows a profile of a lovely slimmer lady...

So while I fully understand your post

That's how my head works and maybe how other people think about it as well??

if someone feels they aren't your type they really believe it and from what I've seen in the forum you're not going to change the way they feel.

We sometimes tell people we aren't what they're looking for but that is genuinely because we don't meet the criteria they set out in their profile

It might be because you're quite athletic and a lot of women feel self-concious. There is something in what you're saying though, i've had my fair share of skinny admirers. Opposites attract !

Exactly this, I fully understand where the comment is coming from but my perspective is if I am messaging you, it's because I find you attractive, but I accept that insecurities may get the better of some people based on how I look myself.

Bit controversial, but you could compare it to how a shorter man might feel with a taller lady

""you're too in shape to like someone like me""

Actually I was quite surprised a lot of women say that. You know that show "Take me out" with Paddy McGuiness. When a guy shows he's fit in the gym, some girls go no-likey and "booom" no-lighty - reason is the fella is too fit.

For me, it's more about mental connection. I prefer dad bods but on the occasion I have gone for fit, leaner, younger guys, they had tended to cum-n-go or we have nothing in common... I've never been in a gym ever!

This

If someone messages I will check out their profile and verifications to see if I’m someone they would like.

If I see no reference to BBW or they only have veris off slimmer women then 9 times out of 10 I won’t answer.

As a curvier girl myself, I am guilty of this. I think it’s down to each persons experience.

I for one definetly find it hard when we go to clubs and places like that to even imagine any of the more athletic or slimmer guys to bat an eye lid at me. Again this comes down to past personal experiences.

As others mentioned, maybe pop something in your bio about who you’re attracted to or how you’re inclusive of everyone and maybe make it lighthearted and to say how just because you’re athletic doesn’t mean you’re attracted to just athletic people too?

In todays day and age societal expectations are rife and social media is so damaging. Keep trying though xx

I know where you're coming from but here is a challenge for you...

I am a feminist and have joined the women's support group at work. We discuss "imposter syndrome" and challenge ourselves that "I am not good enough". That is in context of promotion or given a challenging project but for me, it equally applies to sexual meets.

This is why I would prefer not to single out a specific type on my profile, I have found all shapes and sizes attractive, it wouldn't be that someone is a second choice, just that I have a broad taste, I can appreciate the beauty in all sizes of women

Perhaps I'll update the profile and test

We're definitely more judgemental online than in person. I saw an very fit althetic man with a BBW having a great time in a club. Did surprise me but as I said anything really goes in person as you're more likely to be attracted to someone's personality than looks. For me, I need looks and personality to entice me online.

I find that every guy has a preference or an ideal type but aren’t always honest about it. On here I think guys tend to try and appeal to everyone to increase their chances of getting a meet and aren’t always honest so I look at the whole profile - bio, verifications and forum interactions and assess from that.

I agree, I dare say that is the case for some men... I just wouldn't want to meet someone I wasn't genuinely attracted to in some way personally, I guess it's hard to tell who is just after a meet with anyone that will give them one and who is genuinely in to someone

Exactly! I’m confident in myself and my looks but would hate to meet up with a guy who will sleep with anyone whether he’s attracted to them or not and there’s plenty of those on Fab!

I'm glad to see it's not just me that does this!

In a club it wouldn't bother me at all, the person can see me, and I can see their reaction to me. I realised very quickly that all sorts of people like all sorts of people.

On Fab is a totally different thing. I worry that they have only skimmed over my profile info, or not looked closely enough at my photos and are expecting some dinky little thing they can throw around (I'm taller than most who message, so my height is an additional potential problem as it bothers some guys).

Insecurities are definitely heightened when you only have text on a screen to go on. Some mention of finding a particular, or several body types attractive would probably help me feel more comfortable responding, especially if it looks like you have a definite type based on veris.

Good idea ,maybe state you find all shapes and sizes attractive on your profile and see if that helps.

I'm guilty too of looking at the previous verifications to see the type of people they've met in the past .

However as a larger lady I personally prefer not to meet people with what I would call a gym fit bod, it's nothing personal it's just my preference, even when I was a slimmer size 12 if I saw a guy had a slimmer waist than mine it put me off... who knows why, the inner workings of the mind is a bizarre & crazy thing

"All women have confidence issues to some degree about their bodies."

I think a lot of men do as well - one of the reasons why couples often don't have pics of the man. Personally I would rather a lady at least size 12 or above with a few bumps and imperfections than a gym fit size 8-10 lady - not likely but even if she was throwing herself at me I would be wondering where's the catch

In fairness, sometimes people don't read profiles, or miss things. I've had people who are very into kink send messages, and there's nothing wrong with what they enjoy! But they're going to find me / my partner boring, since we don't do that. So even if they message I tend to assume they've missed that bit of it (or if they haven't, i still genuinely don't think I'd be a good fit).

Or maybe it's just a polite rejection, in this case? I'm not sure. Anecdotally, a lot of women self reject. I definitely do.

I happen to rather like a thicker woman (that's not to say I don't like slim women either) but in my vanilla life I've had a good mix of body types as partners, both thin and thick, some muscular, some softer.

But it seems that when I'm talking to a thicker woman, I always get something along the lines of "I'm not your type" "you're too in shape to like someone like me"

Now I kind of understand why a person might say something like this, but I just want to say, my physical shape doesn't affect what I find attractive in a woman, so ladies, please stop it, just accept the fact that slimmer guys can like thicker women just as much!

Anyone else experience something similar?

We're definitely more judgemental online than in person. I saw an very fit althetic man with a BBW having a great time in a club. Did surprise me but as I said anything really goes in person as you're more likely to be attracted to someone's personality than looks. For me, I need looks and personality to entice me online.

You make it sound like he couldn't possibly be attracted to her looks"

That's how I've read this to mean too

Surely the thing that defines swingers is that they enjoy variety? I mean, no other woman will ever compare to my wife for me, but I hugely enjoy making a connection with other women as well. Does that make them "runners up"? Certainly not in my books - they're all hugely attractive, interesting women in their different ways. The last thing I want is a sequence of clones of my wife.

For me, by far the two most attractive features in a woman are a nice smile, and fancying me. While I might have physical preferences for a pin-up, a playmate is completely different.

Having looked at your profile. This is where my insecurity goes..

You don't mention anything about liking bbw

Your verification, and yes we do look... Shows a profile of a lovely slimmer lady...

So while I fully understand your post

That's how my head works and maybe how other people think about it as well??

"All women have confidence issues to some degree about their bodies."

(Jane typing)

I have always thought this too. It's something that sort feels reassuring that we're all the same in a way.

However there's been a quite few times when I've read comments from females saying that they are 100% happy with thier body/looks, no issues at all.??

I have said this in the past to men, or when their profile says their type (and I'm the total oppisite) lol! Sometimes I find very attractive muscular men a bit intimidating, not in a threatening way but sexually, like why would they like me type thing. X

I've been guilty of saying this

Mostly because I genuinely don't understand how someone who spends so much time working out/eating well can find my body big attractive

Slim guys I have no issue with but guys who obviously go to the gym make me a little uncomfortable

"It might be because you're quite athletic and a lot of women feel self-concious. There is something in what you're saying though, i've had my fair share of skinny admirers. Opposites attract !

Exactly this, I fully understand where the comment is coming from but my perspective is if I am messaging you, it's because I find you attractive, but I accept that insecurities may get the better of some people based on how I look myself. "

If you messaged me, I'd take it as a compliment,my body isn't perfect, far from it, but I love a fit toned body, and yours certainly is

Exactly the reason why you wouldn't go with very althetic men. Why would someone who takes pride in their appearance, trains really hard like the opposite to them? But I do see it on the streets but surprised to see it in clubs. As the couples I saw were well matched apart from that couple.

I'm saying usually people go for like for like. As I said all the couples in the club were well matched apart from that particular couple. She was very big and he was super muscley.

Plus OP proving a point that people do usually go for similar body to theirs as women declining him just because he got opposite type of body to theirs. But hey, they said opposites attract. So OP shouldn't give up on being with a bigger lady, just because afew turned him down. tbh who gives a crap what other people think. Go with someone, regardless of their looks, appreciate your beauty. That's how I see it. I want to have sex with someone who is equally attracted to me as I am to him.

I just don't think people read or look at profiles carefully before messaging. I keep getting couples wanting a bi woman. That's definitely not me. Even after telling them that, they're hoping I change my mind due to how charming they been towards me. Nope. Never be bi and never want to.

It's something very noticeable about you and is generally seen a good quality to have. Could it be that sometimes women use this a nice excuse to say no thanks nicely rather than having to explain other factors that don't float their boat?

Not for me, I know I would find it very hard to get naked with someone whose body is so perfect. I would be presuming they are looking at me and seeing everything that is wrong with me and maybe even "making do" until someone slimmer comes along.

Why assume they think something is wrong with you, just because you do? I find very different men attractive as I am attracted to their faces and personalities, if I like those then I like everything... Look at yourself like you look at others and fuck some hot gym guys if you want to!

If someone messages I will check out their profile and verifications to see if I’m someone they would like.

If I see no reference to BBW or they only have veris off slimmer women then 9 times out of 10 I won’t answer.

Both these answers resonate with me !"

Not necessarily to our advantage. I think most of us know the type we desire and it takes more than "let's fuck" to get sex. Some women just make any excuse not to be with someone. Personally, I will tell the truth why not if they request it, otherwise it's just a no thanks. Fit bodies are very intimidating but yet so fun to touch

Yep totally get what you mean and I've had that plenty times.. basically it's because said ladies feel uncomfortable being naked with men slimmer than them. While I respect you may like a 'thicker' woman, on here there is a massive variation in 'curvy' and 'ample' and the other one 'fabulous' whatever that means. It really points to this element of this site being very much in favour of the ladies and results in the menfolk being completely in the dark as to the actual shape of a lady's figure, a directly necessary thing for male attraction. Hence you have to get around to asking for pictures to get an idea and to save embarrassment at a later date and wasting time of either party. It's as much a misunderstanding of men by women as men thinking mistakenly women want to see copious cock pictures... Imo.

100% agree with this. It’s exactly how I feel too and in all honesty, wouldn’t feel comfortable with a slim/athletic person unless they mentioned in their profile that they are attracted to a fuller figure or bbw. Plus the veris really do speak for what you tend to go for in meets so this also puts me off if you only have veris from ‘beautiful people’.

Sorry you don't like the term, I've had women show dislike for "BBW" "thicc" "curvy" and "plus size"

All I can draw from this particular experience is that you can't please everyone all of the time.

FYI I don't approach women that fall in to any of these categories by openly using any reference to these in my messages to them.

People are people to me, if I find you attractive, I find you attractive.

I agree with this and I tend to mention it in my response so there is no misunderstanding. It is quite curious that, whilst in real life we mostly either get ignored or receive bad comments, here suddenly there seems to be a lot of men who are interested in very large / fat ladies (despite their veris coming from mostly slimmer ones).

I think it's a fetish that become popular. There was another thread where a male posted stating he had several conversations with men saying it's "easier to get a fat woman who more obliging in bed" Sheer laziness and arrogance from the male side to make such an awful comment about someone.

I definatly think it's because women would feel insecure about how they look compared to you. I thing any woman who has had attention from fit guys have all questioned it.

It's a shame because it becomes about the queen your msging rather than what you look like, I can imagine that must be quite tough sometimes.

I think most of us do. The decision in made based on what they read and then what they see. Just as in 'vanilla' dating, the person will either 'fancy' you or not.
