It’s pretty common to think that girls are mostly attracted to bigger, more muscular men. So if you’re skinny, your logical conclusion is that you need to build more muscles and get bigger in order to attract women. You think to yourself that you’re never gonna get girls just because of your body and you build up a bunch of insecurities that could sometimes lead to depression and anxiety. So are skinny guys attractive?
Skinny guys are as attractive as any other body type. Nowadays, women rarely take physical appearance into consideration when they’re choosing a partner. As long as you’re healthy and happy with yourself, nothing else should matter. Instead, focus on things that you can control like staying confident, dressing according to your body shape, and just being charismatic.
In this article, we’ll take a look at why skinny guys are attractive, as well as the things that they can do in order to enhance their physical appearance.

Are Skinny Guys Attractive?
Let’s take a look at a bunch of answers from girls about this question (source: forums):
- “Skinny is hot, I don’t like muscles that much, especially when it’s to the extreme. Muscular guys are okay, but nothing beats a skinny guy.”
- “I’m attracted to lean men, I like to see natural muscles on the body.”
- “I don’t think girls are into the macho muscular look, I crush on leaner men”
- “I love guys who are skinny, Juicehead gorillas do not attract me”
As you can see, there are a lot of girls that absolutely love skinny guys. In fact, they prefer them over the muscular macho type. But if you noticed, the term “lean” is mentioned a lot. This means that they like guys who pack just a tiny bit of muscles. And as a skinny guy, toning and defining your muscles is a lot easier than you think because your goal won’t be to bulk up or be a professional bodybuilder. All it takes is a little bit of work. And by that, I mean working out 2 to 3 times per week (just a 30 min session), practicing some kind of physical sport, and developing good habits that will allow you to tone your muscles.
If you’re not too sure where to start, you can follow my home workout routine for an easy way to build your muscles. Or follow a youtube video, there are a bunch of them.
How To Look More Attractive As a Skinny Guy
Instead of investing all your energy into what other people think of your physical appearance, you should focus more on things that you can control. There are in fact a lot of rules that you can follow in order to look more attractive as a skinny person.
Find a Style That’s Adapted to Your Body Shape
And by that, I mean wearing clothing that fits you perfectly. Wear slim-fitted jeans and avoid those tight ones that will just make you look even skinnier, and also those baggy ones that look like you’re living in the 90s.
You should also make sure that you wear shirts that fit perfectly around your chest and shoulders. I’m talking about those “slim-fit” shirts that improve your skinny look and make you more attractive. And just like jeans, you should avoid something too tight or too loose.
Another thing that you should take into consideration is layering more clothing. Try wearing jackets or blazers since they broaden your shoulders and make you look bulkier. You can wear a shirt or a T-shirt underneath to showcase your style and look more attractive at the same time.
Have More Confidence
At the end of the day, this is the most important rule. Be more confident about your body shape. The best way to avoid insecurities is by being happier and accepting who you are as a person. Befriend people that will support you, encourage you, and build your confidence.
And just because you’re skinny, that doesn’t mean that you should always keep your head down. Instead, Always look up, broaden your shoulders, have a dominating posture, and walk more confidently and at a fast rate like a busy boss which will make you look a lot more attractive.
When you’re talking to someone, never lose eye contact with them until they look away (don’t look creepy though) which will make you look more comfortable and show the other person that you are paying close attention to what they’re saying. And while talking, you need to look more confident so avoid crossing your arms since that makes you look insecure which will make everyone around you uncomfortable.
And of course, the most important thing that works like a charm is by smiling more. This shows that you’re happy and positive and will make you so much more approachable. Not only does smiling improves your mood, but it also improves the mood of everybody around you which makes you the most attractive person in the room.
Be Charismatic
One of the most important rules that you should follow is that you need to accept who you are in order to develop true relationships (And not fake ones). In fact, when you’re true to yourself, you automatically become more attractive since everybody seems fake nowadays.
You should also have some kind of interests and hobbies. When a girl sees that you’re interested in something and that you give so much care about it, she’ll instantly find you more attractive since that will tell that you’ll give the same amount of interest to someone you’re in a relationship with.
Another thing that you should take into consideration is that you need to be a gentleman. Nothing beats a guy that holds the door for you, moves you your chair, pays attention to you, and is more mannerly. These small details will show that you care about the other person and they’ll be instantly attracted to you.
Conclusion:
At the end of the day, attractiveness is relative. Something that attracts me doesn’t mean that it will attract everybody else. The same thing goes for women. There are some that find skinny guys attractive and others that prefer more muscular guys. But if you follow the rules I mentioned in this article, be sure that you’ll significantly improve your appearance and personality and as a result, you’ll look a lot more attractive.
