cntrygrl2010 answered Saturday November 27 2004, 2:12 pm: You should never loose weight or anything just bc a guy doesn't like you. There is always guys who want to change girls. But we r our own individual and if they don't like you for you it's their loss. Everybody finds a guy at a diff. time! It's not wut is on the outside that counts. its wut is on the inside! otherwise they rn't worth ur time!
good luck [ cntrygrl2010's advice column | Ask cntrygrl2010 A Question ]
harvesterofhearts answered Saturday November 27 2004, 8:00 am: Well, the short answer is-- No! You shouldn't change anything about yourself to "make" someone like you. If you want to lose a few pounds because it's something you want to do to feel good about yourself, then go for it. But if you want to lose weight because you think that's going to make guys like you, you're setting yourself up for a lot of pain.
Think about this-- don't you constantly see women with less-than-perfect bodies who have boyfriends that love them? Of course! This is because they value themselves as they are! If you think you are fabulous and beautiful, you will find guys who think you're the hottest thing around. It's really more about your self-worth than about your weight. If you don't believe me, start taking a look around whenever you are out in public. People of all shapes and sizes have partners who love them. Instead of worrying about your weight, start noticing the things about yourself that make you interesting and fun to be with. You'll feel better about yourself, and guys will start paying attention to you. [ harvesterofhearts's advice column | Ask harvesterofhearts A Question ]
ceece answered Saturday November 27 2004, 7:03 am: You shouldn't have to change yourself for someone to like you - if they only like you if you're stick-thin, then they're not worth having as a boyfriend. You sound like you've got a really great personality, and decent guys will be more attracted to that than anything. If your weight is bothering you, then yeah, go ahead and try to lose some. Just remember to look after yourself and don't go on any silly diets that will make you ill. [ ceece's advice column | Ask ceece A Question ]

TheNextRingo answered Friday November 26 2004, 11:54 pm: I think that if you want to lose weight, then you should, but not just to impress a guy. But if you do, try and do it in the most healthiest way, like by cutting junk foods or exercising more. Hopefully this guy will like you for who you are and not just for your weight. Good luck! I hope I helped! :) [ TheNextRingo's advice column | Ask TheNextRingo A Question ]

onetallguy answered Friday November 26 2004, 6:55 pm: dont do it for the guys....do it for yourself...if you can work to keep the weight off now then when youre older and youre metabolism slows down it wont be as hard to keep the weight off....so id say just cut back on the pop and eat healthier and do some form of workout whether it be running or lifting weights [ onetallguy's advice column | Ask onetallguy A Question ]
Stephanie4lchs answered Friday November 26 2004, 6:44 pm: Umm.. well.. 15lbs overweight is NOT that bad! Seriously!

zapreth answered Friday November 26 2004, 4:35 pm: The only questions you need to ask are to yourself. Do you feel healthy? Do you like the way you look? I'm not talking about anyone else, just you! You don't need to be a slave to a number, ideal weight is not exact. Your ideal weight is where you feel best and like the way you look. If someone wants you to loose weight for THEIR ideal and you allow it when it is not what YOU want that is foolish. Plenty of guys like girls who are real about who they are. 10-15 pounds is vanity weight if you feel healthy and active, but if that's what you want then there is nothing wrong with loosing it. Doing something just for a guy to notice you or for your parents to approve will keep you in an endless cycle of misery. No one wants the same thing or has the same ideals, and the only person you'll have to face for the rest of your life is yourself. Who are you? What do you want? "They" don't really matter in this choice. I don't matter. Only YOU! Think! [ zapreth's advice column | Ask zapreth A Question ]

Carebear23 answered Friday November 26 2004, 4:27 pm: If you feel that you need to then you should, but don't if you feel pressured by your parents. You can be beautiful no matter how skinny, fat, tall or short you are. It's all up to you. Ask the people who like you..."Do you think I am getting bigger?" or whatever gives you an honest answer.

Mandee answered Friday November 26 2004, 4:24 pm: Sweetie, you should never ever change anything about yourself just to make a guy like you. With that said, if you're going to loose weight do it for yourself and not for anyone else but you. If you have a great personality guys will see that and ask you out. Guys are usually shy in their teen years and they can be afraid to ask you out. Don't expect that your weight has to be the reason why guys won't ask you out. Age might have something to do with it. Usually guys don't feel comfortable with girls until they are about 15 years old. That's not how it is with every guy, but sometimes that's what happens. Even if you're older...guy are very hard to understand, it might take a year for a guy to confess he likes you. It all depends on what the guy thinks, and how he approches a girl. So seriously don't beat yourself up because he hasn't asked you out yet. If he likes you, he'll ask you eventually! Don't worry too much about it, you'll be fine!
Love,
