I'm male+female

---

Ahh, now that got your attention.Just to clear up i am male, not anything else i just want to get as many people looking at my post as i can. But now you are here you can answer my really rather sad question.I am 16 and have never had a girlfriend. yeah sad. never even kissed a girl. I am about to move onto 6th form (college) after my GCSE's and while i am there i would really rather like to pull a girl.I am perfectly fine talking to girls and getting friendly with them its just i have low self esteam (hopefully thats right, and i can be bothered to get word up to check it!)I think this is because i am slightly overweight. Just to give you an idea thats about 11 and a half stone (and i think there is 13 or 14 pounds to the stone) and am about 5 foot 7So i have a bit of a stomach and i have moobs. now these are probably for the girl viewers about A's or B's in bra sizes. Not good eh. Now i keep myself quite fit with tennis and i got swimming once a week.I am quite funny (as i have been told) and i think on a scale of 1 to 10 i would be about 5 on the looking chart. Now, would any girls go out with a guy who is slightly overweight.and would any girl about my age be put of by the fact that i have never had a girlfriend.(note i respect everyones views however obviously i would be listening intently to girls about my age, obviously because they are the age bracket i am trying to get the opinion of, though i am very interested about what older and younger people have to say)That prob why i have never had a girlfriend because i think that all girls would cringe at the fact of me having more fat than a McDonalds hamburgers. The other reason is that i have never asked a girl out because i have been scared of rejection. Thanks for your responsesMr nuts

hey therethere is one thing you have to realize... you are never gonna get anywhere if you dont try. i used to have severe self esteem issues because i was a bit overweight... but then i realized that everyone has someone for them. i dont know about most girls, but i know that alot of them dont really care about a little extra weight... as long as you are healthy and clean lol. well thats just me. i didnt really get anywhere with guys until i started asking THEM out, and then my self esteem sky rocketed because alot of them said yes despite my weight. now im normal weight but i still have self esteem issues but my boyfriend always assures me that i am beautiful and even if i were to become fat he'd love me anyway... dont worry, you just need to take down your wall just a little bit and start asking those girls out lolgood luck!

^^ so true, you just have to go for it, ask someone out, if they say no you will feel like shit but you will move on and you will find someone who likes and respects you. the first time you get rejected is always hard and you feel like such a loser but you dont have anything to lose

You'll never know if you never try :smile:
Plus you are only 16, I know alot of people that are now 17 turning 18 who have never kissed a member of the opp sex.

Dude! you sound just like me.

Unfortunately I have no good advice for you.
I didn't get a girlfriend till after my second year at university (that's 20 going on 21), and even then it was rubbish.
All I can say is good luck. I hope you do better than I did!

Dude, what the fuck are you on about? 11 and a half stone is not overweight in any sense, thats about the average weight for your age group. Now if you were about 14 stone or upwards, then yeah that would indeed be a bit chubby, but get a grip man.

im an oldie, but have to say it wouldn't bother me, in fact it doesn't the man i married is at least 19 stone........and i love every bit of him..........its personality that counts, and confidence.......

In reply to: Why exactly do men have nipples? cuz we were girls b4 we were boys..or something like that.

Cecil, with The Straight Dope on why men have nipples.

A plastic surgeon has this to say.

Salon has an opinion on everything.

A new book, Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini (Three Rivers Press) just came out, and addresses the issue.

Ok...what exactly is "11 stone" and stuff...I know pounds and kilos, but i've never heard of stone

1 ton = 20 hundredweight1 hundredweight = 4 quarters1 quarter = 2 stones1 stone = 14 poundsThe English traditionally have had people-weighing scales calibrated in stones. That is becuse England is a stony country, and the English like stones.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i get it!

I dont see what's wrong with being 16 and never having a GF. I might sound old when i say this (but i'm only 26), but back in my day at 16, i liked girls and all, but i'd rather hang out with my buddies, ya know? I was never in a hurry to get into a relationship. I never saw it as important. Neither did alot of people i knew then. and besides, if you self esteem is low enough, you'll force yourself to do something about it. If you think "man, i'm overweight", go do a few exercises. And if you have trouble, just keep telling yourself that the less weight you lose is the more your esteem will tell you that you're not good enough. If you feel that you dont need all that, then you're fine and just go talk to a girl!
