    Why do so many girls obsess with having a boyfriend? you're life isn't going to magically become some paradise full of rainbows and butterflys just because you have a boyfriend. You need to be comfortable with yourself before you can be completely comfortable with someone else like a boyfriend. As for your weight "problem" I strongly suggest exercise and a healthy diet (I know it's super cliche) but it's what truly works and the most effective thing to stay healthy. DIETS DO NOT WORK in the long run they are only a temporary solution. It may be hard at first but things that are worth having have to be worked for. After a while it will be part of your life style. Also if the guys you're looking for are only interested in you because of your body then screw them never settle for that. You have to believe you deserve better or you won't get better.

    I am not your father, but I will give you some "fatherly" advice.

    You are not as chubby as you think you are.

    My girlfriend weighs 136. She hardly looks fat by any definition. She is very strong and has a very tight body. Muscle weighs more than fat.

    You have to smile a lot, and be nice to boys if you want a boyfriend.

    The popular boys with big egos will not want to be seen with you. They have a reputation to worry about. It is vitally important that they are seen with certain girls so they can keep up their reputation. They want the cheerleaders. The pretty thin girls treat them crappy, but they put up with it. No matter what you do, you will always be "lower" than his type. Such popular boys are not worth your effort.

    The popular boys will marry the cheerleaders, and in ten years when they are fat and not so cute they will cheat on them, and get divorced.

    I suggest you be very nice to the smart nerdy boys who are your same age. Hang around them. One of them will like you, and then you will have a boyfriend. He will be a little nervous at first, but give him a chance. If you marry him one day, he will be a much better husband than any popular boy. Odds are the nerdy smart boy will make a much higher salary. He is more likely to over-look your weight, as long as you are willing to overlook the fact that he is not one of the "popular" boys.

    Hey it's okay don't worry, I'm not an "ugly" guy or the best looking guy but I can't find a girl or if I did i wouldn't have the guts to talk to her anyways, I've been where you are, and it only gets better, try living your life for you be happy without having to have someone else, the damn media puts it in our heads that we NEED someone, but it doesn't matter, and sure I want someone too, but it doesn't bother me I don't have anyone, and it's all because I know I I want something truly truly bad enough ill fight to get it

    In absoulte honesty i mean 100% honesty. if you where like 5'3 the average weight should be about 125, secondly. the ability to get a boyfriend can stem from many factor i wouldent go assumeing it has anything to do with weight. its possible that you have a low self worth based on your weight and others sence that your not confident about your body and thet is just a huge red flag for most. i can tell you for a fact that i know many realationships that our currently occuring in the lives of people i know in witch the women is considerd the body weight 150-170 i.e chubby that are working out just great. it also has to do with where you go looking if your in highscool(just a configuration most people on yahoo answers are between 12-18) thats not gonna work thoses wanna be jearshy shore assholes are brainwashed by the media and are only down for girls under 90 pounds ya know the ones that look like a 12 yearold boys. unlike me i choose what i like based on my own opinion'''beauty is in the eye of the beholder'' is my story. i for one do like chubby girls dont get me wrong im not discriminitive about weight id be okay with less or more. ya know how many times i liked a girl and was put down by my peers because she wasne the regular ''school gangbang whore'' that most are today. many times i can assure you. my only advice is to be confident about yourself and your weight and im sure the right guy will come along.. and seeing as im a chubby chaser is might just be me....thats alittle unlikely tho i live in canada

    best of luck

    Eat less and work out more. There are some non=superficial guys out there, but most of the guys out there are going to want sex. Then, they will be afraid to be seen in public with a bigger girl. Then again, maybe that is just me. But dont stoop to that level, ever. Dont go on a diet, make a lifestyle change. Workout and eat healthier. more fruits and vegetables. Good luck to you.

    Be yourself and one day, I promise that you will find that one special guy. If a guy likes you for who you are and doesn't even care about your appearance, MARRY HIM. You found a good one, there are almost none nowadays. How old are you because you don't need a boyfriend/girlfriend to be happy, hang out with your friends and family, they are the ones who love you, there fore those are the ones who count. I'm an anorexic as well, stay strong and i wish you the best :)

    Date a nice fat guy

    To be honest, unless you are comfortable with yourself you cannot be in a stable relationship. If weight is your main concern try exercise paired with a /healthy/ diet.

    i will date a guy that's skinny, standard, muscular, or obese. i do unlike to date fat adult males because of the fact it in simple terms shows that they do no longer care to take care of their bodies, and that they do no longer care approximately their wellness. i'm fantastically skinny.

    Because guys will do anyone, just as long as guys get sex. That's the way guys are.
