Not only do guys have different opinions but they change over time.
When I was in my teens and twentys young and rail thin was what attracted me.
Now - not so much.
A few extra pounds distributed as curves will definitely get more of my attention over someone who is very thin.
So, in this case, it’s quite possibly a net improvement. 
oh I see. You said you have never had trouble and I read it as you’ve had trouble since gaining the weight. Glad to hear you’re not having any problems
I agree with what Raindog said.
Another thing I wonder is whether your attitude (I don’t mean that in a bad way) is still the same. If you were thinner before and guys flocked to you, maybe you developed a bit of aloofness so you didn’t get overwhelmed. After gaining a little weight, the same attitude would not be appropriate with the given amount of attention now - i.e., it becomes more important to show a bit of personality (not that you didn’t have personality before, there was just no need to display it as prominently)
No, it screams for a jpeg.
I can only speak for myself, but I don’t have any problem at all with a female body that’s got a bit extra in the way of cushion.
I like my women more Rubenesque, so a few pounds is a plus for me.
As long as your weight is comfortable for you, then anyone who can’t accept it shouldn’t be given the opportunity to be in your company.
Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes to the bone.
I am going to be my usual asshole self and butt in. If you mean random strangers, how will they know you’ve gained weight? Maybe you used to be obese and just lost a ton! As a few guys mentioned, if you’ve noticed any change chances are it has to do with your confidence.
I’ll be a total jerk and say, from a sexual standpoint, I do ignore women who pack extra pounds. Very slightly pudgy might be okay if she’s quite pretty, but it’s a hurdle. There are a million things people can’t help, but most of the time weight isn’t one of them.
However, this is not an across the board opinion among men I’m acquainted with; it might even be a minority opinion, for all I know.
I definitely appreciate zaftig women (up to a certain point, of course…but my taste probably accommodates heavier women than the average male’s.)
It varies with individuals, but there’s a certain point somewhere between “fat” and “average” that can be pulse-stoppingly attractive, and, if coupled with the right demeanor, downright dangerous to my composure.
This is even more pronounced in the case of younger women with smooth skin.
Though I’m not attracted to women, I think this still applies . . .
I’m generally attracted to guys who are extremely thin. But once in a while I’ll find myself responding to a guy who’s definitely not thin, but has other qualities I like. There’s one guy I know who’d be described as “portly,” yet he has the most incredible face, I just love being around him.
And yes, there are also guys who have my preferred body type, but due to other qualities, totally turn me off.
So at least with me, it’s the whole package that matters, but specific qualities might tip the scales one way or the other.
Depends on what you mean by “a few”, a cute face is obviously helpful but not enough to trump being overweight.
I’m only butting in long enough to answer raindog’s question: E40-42 is US10-12. If you scroll down to USA Women’s Size Standards, you can even get measurements in inches.
Since I have no concept of Women’s sizes from any country so I had to Google it. IF the pictures are right size 10 isn’t “big” at all, though I imagine height factors into it, it doesn’t seem really even seem to be far in the “pudgy” territory (I actually wouldn’t even consider it “pudgy” at all, but I’m covering myself in case the pictures are off).
I would guess that an itch for variety is a noteworthy factor, perhaps more or less cancelling out any real or presumed preference. I lived for some years with a very slim girl. I never got tired of her build, but when my eyes wandered, I noticed that I paid extra attention to girls with a few extra pounds. In general, given a pretty face and hair, and generally harmonious shape, I’d say a few extra pounds means little.
According to this size chart, she’s either a 6 or 8 in American sizes. And she used to be a size 2. That’s a big difference, but I’d consider it a net improvement.
Size 12? Seriously?

Damn, no luck. So how YOU doin’?
Here’s the RBS. (Rat bastard standard):
The boobs have to stick out further than the stomach.
Can’t weigh more than the guy.
There’s usually something attractive about most ppl if you look for it. Nice smile, kind eyes, etc. One of my ex’s was 250 lbs, but she had a great voice and pretty eyes. I’m lucky in that I don’t have many physical requirements for a perspective GF/sexual partner. Female, and not so fat that it physically interferes with intercourse about covers it. I suppose horrible burns and/or post industrial-accident would be a turn-off, but that’s not something I’ve ever faced. Still, I feel that getting close to someone, physically or emotionally, is a risk equal to the possible reward, so SOME standards are necessary.
If you go out with just anyone, you can make your life quite a bit more difficult, or make theirs more difficult. Who needs that? There are no guarantees, but I try to minimize the risk. I look for some intelligence and emotional maturity, intellectual curiosity, no addictions, not already in a relationship - just the sort of basic “would I like to hang around with this person” stuff I’d apply to anyone in my life. Well, OK, the relationship one is specific to romantic intentions and not applicable to everyone. Hopefully, with those basic things covered, you can get to know the person and see if there’s that undefinable “chemistry”, without dipping your toes too far into the crazy pool. I’m single and in my mid-40’s. I haven’t slept around much and sometimes regret that in retrospect, but to be fair, the relationships I HAVE had have been long-term and mostly lacked in serious melodrama. There’s a great deal to be said for that.
I guess, to sum up for the OP, looks aren’t that important. Some reasonable expectation of compatibility and mental stability is. As many ppl can attest, letting the wrong person into your life can be worse than being alone.
I don’t ignore her but the first thing that comes to mind for me is: Damn, she is really pretty but she would look a whole lot better if she lost some weight.
I’m a shallow bastard though, so just ignore me.
