Actually, the answer ultimately depends on the personal taste of the girl herself. If you look at it closely, you will find that the ideal man is neither fat nor thin but the man in the middle - fairly muscular, handsome and perfectly healthy.

Yet despite this issue on women's preference of thin guys over fat ones, women in blogs on relationships and partner preferences generally seldom emphasize the sole importance of a man's external appearance. It has been said that it is not how big you are that really matters but how you can talk to girls and relate to them.

However some experts on relationships theorize that one of the few reasons why girls prefer thin guys is not because they like them as they are but because they just do not like the fat ones.

So instead of knowing the reasons why girls like thin guys, I believe it is better if we know the reasons why girls do not like fat guys for this natural dislike for the overweight is the one thing that is driving them towards the thin ones.

Here are four obvious reasons:

Fat is unhealthy.

True there may be fat people who are perfectly healthy but girls generally equate being fat with an overall unhealthy disposition.
There may be an equal number of fat and thin guys who die of a heart attack each year but I am sure the prejudice against the fat will stay with us for a while.

Fat is unhygienic

There is a stereotype that huge guys have unsavory habits and this might be another reason that drives away girls from the fatties to the thin ones.

Fat is lazy.

Girls love a symbol of power, energy and activity. This explains the natural affinity of females to athletes of great strength and endurance.

Fat is selfish.

Yes, many girls think that if they are with a fat guy, then their number one rival is none other than food itself! And with a fat guy as a boyfriend, there seems to be no chance for her to make an impression.
