That is your perception of what they want. Not what they actually want.

I’m about the same build as you OP, and have the same experience. Men like me fatter than I like to be. The last five pounds is purely butt.

You should do whatever is best for you and your body, don't change your weight based on what other people like.


I don’t. I practice intuitive eating and I work out. This post is about moderate body positivity. Men might say things like “just don’t be fat” but their definition of fat is like 230 lbs, not 130.

Meh, Ive heard men say that anyone over 150lbs is fat, but 5'9 and 150 is quite thin.

I think the more apt statement is "men are dumb"

5'4" and 130 lbs is a BMI of 22. Smack-dab in the middle of the normal range. Why would anyone need to be reassured that men don't think that's fat? Only a brain deeply damaged by growing up in the heroin chic era would need this reassurance or think this was body positivity.


Agree - but the beginning limit at 5'4" of what is considered "fat" is definitely not 230lbs.

It sounds like you carry that last 10 lbs in T and A. Nice, and a bit of good luck.

A lot of women carry that last 10 lbs around the belly, which is not so lucky.

I think I look best at 120. When I was over 130, men couldn’t keep their eyes off me. When I was 112, people randomly asked if I was feeling OK (not entirely because of my weight, but because I did actually look tired and weak all the time).



So what is the issue? Why do you care what men like?


OP is trying to date women but keeps attracting men.

You probably look a lot better and heathy closer to 130 than 112. Especially if you are middle aged.

FWIW I’ve never been overweight, not since I was a 9lb baby. But I’ve been all over the “normal” range of the BMI scale. I’m 5’4. I have been 112lbs to 132lbs.
