I never thought I’d be dating a SKINNY guy! It’s so…weird. Every single guy I’ve ever dated has either been the beefy, husky, football player type or just chunky or to be honest, fat. And I’ve never been attracted to skinny guys…
But this one? I’m kinda crazy about. And he doesn’t seem repulsed by my weight but…I kind of get the feeling that he likes me in SPITE of my weight, you know what I mean? The guys I’ve dated before actually preferred my body type and I was able to feel safe and accepted in the relationship. The one I’m with now (Matt), tells me I’m beautiful and sexy and that he’s super attracted to me…but I feel like it’s mostly on a mental and emotional level and he’s avoiding the weight/body type issue. (It doesn’t help that he once mentioned in conversation that his ex weighed “ninety pounds soaking wet”. Way to make me feel like a moose!)
I’m just used to being the smaller one in the relationship. And I kind of think that’s preferable. It makes me feel safe to be with a bigger guy and also kind of makes me feel smaller, lol. This is a major role reversal for me. We haven’t been very physical, but when we have kissed and touched and snuggled, I felt soooooooooo insecure and fat.
So…any of you girls ever date skinny guys? How did you deal with being bigger than your man? And did you have some trouble believing that he was actually into your body?
