Current Events > Do gay men prefer men with flabby bodies?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's discuss.

Like every other group of people, there is an extremely wide variety of preference among gay men.

For me I love dad-bodies and up. Not too obese. But slim, muscular, overly fit are a turnoff for me. You can be fit but have some love handles and it's nice.

But otherwise lots of men want fit guys. Lots of older men want slim, smooth boys.

But there are men that loves bears and such.

There's a subset to bear culture that caters to chubs and old fat guys, but that's about it besides going into chubby chaser territory. The rest of gay male culture leans more towards slimmer and/or muscular men. Fat muscle (guy built like a heavy linebacker) is popular too and sometimes borders into bears.

Most gay men generally do not find a weak flabby bod attractive. However, certain favorable conditions can bring them to over look it. For example, the flabby guy can be charming or have some other comforting personality making him ideal to hang out with. It's not uncommon for a gay man to be interested in the possibility of sex with a best buddy he knows is compatible. Availability also always plays a big role in the interest. If a gay guy is interested in hooking up with his best friend, that desire is going to get reinforced the more they hang out together. This can make an out of shape guy seem like a more plausible option even when hotter looking guys are around (the idea is the out of shape guy comes with less hurdles and maintenance).

There's also the classic idea of improving a partner's traits within a relationship, which does not exclude gay culture. Some gay men are still willing to date a cute guy who's out of shape under the presumption that he can adopt a fitness routine later to boost his physical attractiveness. It can be a risky gamble to enter such an arrangement because the guy may refuse to ever get fit. Or worse: he really gets into fitness, gets full of himself over it, and then dumps you for someone else.


Overall, the general answer to the topic's question is no. Not many gay prefer a flabby body type. Although some are willing to over look it if the guy is attractive enough in other ways.

I like anything between ripped and muscular to average to chubby/dad-bod, though I prefer fit. Don't like the extreme end of either spectrum, though. And body hair is definitely a huge plus.
