Am i too thin or muscly and does this turn guys on or off? Im 5 foot 3 inches, have a bmi of 20 but my body fat is really low at 11%. I am quite muscly because I dance and climb a lot, but is having so little body fat a turn off to guys? Also, do guys like strong girls? Guys out there, would it turn you off to that?

Tarawr agony auntAll guys are different. Some like fat, chubby or skinny. And don't even try to live to please guys. There is no way to win. Just please yourself.

I wouldn't say its a total turnoff, but I for instance like girls who are fit, but not totally muscular. Muscular women ARE beautiful, and I for one have a lot of friends who like muscular women.

Most guys won't care if their girl is strong or not, unless the guy has problems with self esteem and insecurity. There are plenty of guys who would feel that its bad that their girlfriend might be stronger than them. But then again, it doesn't bother most guys, as long as you don't actively rub it under their noses or use strength as a way to get what you want.

The world is full of different guys. Hell, even your hometown is probably full of guys with totally different preferences. Just stick to who you are, don't even worry about your BMI, like CG said, More than half the worlds population of men don't know what BMI even is. As long as you stay with your own ideas, your own style, your own look, you'll be fine. :)

mystiquek agony auntMen come in all different shapes and sizes just like we girls, so there's something out there for everyone! Some guys will like your figure, some won't..but you can't generalize because they all have their own tastes and desires. Some guys would be turned on by a "strong" girl as you describe yourself, others would prefer a more "girly" girl. Just be yourself sweetheart and don't stress about it. There's tons of guys out there that will like you just as you are!

You'll find any decent guy accept you as you are. You're worrying far, far too much. Guys are more likely to find your lack of confidence more of a turn off. I'm sure there isn't anything wrong. Ask most guys if they even know what BMI even means, and most will just sit there with a blank look. STop worrying.
