Q: For 2 years I have been living with a sexy tatted up boyfriend with a rock hard body. He works out regularly and I do not. I have a child from a previous relationship. I am a curvy woman with a chubby tummy and I still can't get butt naked in front of him. Does he really care if I have stretch marks or overweight?

A: Dude, your boyfriend is obviously of sound body, but I assume he's of sound mind too. I got news for you, if you've been...

Q: Hi CG! Hook me up. I have an amazing boyfriend, but he had gastric bypass surgery and burps a lot. He also has a lot of excess skin. I get mad at him because I wished his great personality matched his outsides. I've been having crazy dreams with dating random men in my life too. Is this a sign we should break up?

A: If you're dream-dating random men and can't look past your boyfriend's short-term physical ailments, then yes, you shoul...

Q: I'm really tall (6'1") and intensely athletic, muscles and all. People talk all the time about how great it is to be tall, but I often feel much more like a linebacker than a supermodel. How can I approach guys without intimidating them? And how do I make myself seem more feminine in the male eye?

A: There's nothing more cringey than a perfectly attractive, tall girl trying to play small. You see it all the time - cons...

Q: How do guys feel about outie bellybuttons?

A: Well, as you might expect, some guys prefer In-ies. The "hot" norm, I'd say, is a subtle-shell belly button. This is wha...

Q: I fell in love with a guy who's recently gotten gastric bypass surgery. Although he's starting to drop weight and look good I am freaked out by the excess skin and remnants of love handles. I usually go for very thin guys. Am I being a jerk?

Q: Why do men complain about women with body issues, but don't understand the connection to their porn viewing? Men say it's "just a fantasy", but how do they expect women to not compare themselves to the women they look at and be fine with it, and not feel inadequate that their man feels the need to look at porn?

A: You raise some good points. However, I think it goes deeper than your man's porn viewing habits. Unless he's Charlie She...

Q: How many men do you think would be turned off by a woman who underwent a bilateral mastectomy (breasts were taken off for cancerous purposes) and now sports scars all along the new implants?

A: First off, bravo. You are a survivor. I cannot imagine what you're going through right now. A friend of mine went throug...

Q: I'm a normal weight, 5'6/138 lbs. My mom, however, is overweight, though not grotesquely so... Probably a size 14 (she's 5'4). I'm 20, and worried about introducing my boyfriends to my funny, intelligent, caring mother because I'm worried they'll think I'm going to get fat and break up with me. Am I being irrational?

A: Yes. Extremely irrational. No guy you would ever want to date would make an assumption like that. If he judges you based...

Q: Am I too thin? I train horses and work hard every day, so I get an automatic workout, but my boyfriend keeps trying to make me gain weight. I have a D chest, a tiny waist, strong arms, legs, and abs, and a curvy backside, so I'm happy with my body, and I'm NOT skin and bones. Should I gain some weight for him anyway?

A: Wow, this is the opposite of the questions we usually get. See readers, some guys do like curvy women. Don't gain weight...

Q: My breasts are small AND uneven and they're seriously screwing with my confidence. I've never been far with a guy because I don't have the guts to take my bra off. Am I working myself up over nothing?

A: Well, if they're really that small, it'd be the GUY who's working himself up over nothing, right? To quote the great Moe...

Q: When (and how) in a relationship do you reveal that you were once obese, but have lost weight due to weight loss surgery? And would it be a turnoff to you?
