Mostly finished my competitive running career a few years ago, gained some weight. I get way more attention from guys now

Obviously isn't pretty much impossible to weigh in on this without actually seeing the difference. It's possible you looked emaciated but I doubt it. Probably more a result of the types of guys that are complimenting you. But if you feel good and are happy then it shouldn't matter either way.

Obviously it is impossible ...

Guys go for easy targets and fat chicks put out.

seeing what the preferences of the guys on here is.

LRC? Most can't string a coherent sentence together when speaking to a girl.

Have fun being hot!

In the OP's invented scenario the protagonist can never be "hot". If the protagonist was a pretty girl, guys would have given her a lot of attention when she was thin. It's clear in this scenario that her face must be a limiting feature that will prevent her from ever being "hot". The OP must like curvy ugly girls, probably like his mother.

OP is a woman, mate.

On topic, I think it is probably because you are more filled out. Not fat, but probably have some curves now and (probably) have bigger boobs. While I appreciate the physique of high level women runners, they typically aren't attractive

I ran competitively in college and for a few years after. Since then, I still run regularly but only for fitness and significantly less (30-40 miles a week vs. the 90-100 miles a week I was doing when I was competitive). I also bike occasionally. Back in college, I was 120-125 pounds at 5'7. Nowadays, I weigh more like 135 pounds.

I can't help but notice that I seem to be getting way more attention from guys. My body is complimented MUCH more than it used to be. I have to admit I am a little surprised, especially from reading this message board and seeing what the preferences of the guys on here is.

I'm not down with super skinny chicks. Every chick I've dated has had at least a 21 bmi.

"getting attention" from random guys is about as fun as a hangnail

I find sexual harassment empowering, too.

Pics?

OP is a troll. Everyone knows there are no women on these boards. Just a bunch of lonely men.

Run and cycle some = Better body composition

It's a fact, sorry to say.

The older people get the more deaperate. At some point only the jamins are left and they obviously try to compliment any girl

0/10.

Everyone knows that men are not allowed to compliment women these days.

Hahahahahahahahahhah, fair dinkum mate, as your handle suggests you really are an amateur or new to the LetsRun World Famous Message Board, or both, if you think the OP is a woman.

Obvious troll, but this thread is useless without pics.

Sadly, letsrun.com has become a haven for gays, child molesters and perverts.

Fortunately the real world has more sanity.

I really can't speak for the entirety of the gay community, but many around here do seem to prefer a little muscle over the skinny boys.
