Here are 5 reasons you need to give chubby guys a chance.

We've told you bald, bearded and shorter men are better. And now comes size. Yes, bigger is better. But not for the reason you're thinking.
If you've been passing up chubby guys for skinny or muscular ones because you assume that they can't be great lovers or they're unhealthy, then listen up. We're here to show you why you need a hefty hunk.
Here are 5 reasons why you've been missing out on total boyfriend material.
1. Chubby could mean that person is comfortable and happy, not lazy and depressed.

Chubby guys are happy ones! Turns out, the good spirits even last into marriage. According to a study published in Health Psychology, happily married newlyweds are more likely to gain weight after their weddings, unlike their unhappily married counterparts. And who doesn't want a happy marriage?
2. They're understanding about your own weight gain.
Whether you're dating a skinny, muscular, chubby, or obese guy, make sure that if you truly want to be with this person then he won't be shallow enough to judge you for a few pounds here or there. Guys with a little junk in the trunk are more likely to be understanding when it comes to your own weight rollercoaster. Practice loving yourself and your lover no matter how much you both weigh.
3. They're the best cuddlers.
Crushable
Sure, six-packs and jacked arms can be nice to gaze at, but when it comes to snuggling up with your guy, you're going to want some cushion. There's nothing like getting enveloped by a bigger man's arms. You have a personal, portable, always-comfy pillow!
4. They may be healthier than you think.
In fact, he'll be around longer. If you're all about health then don't overlook the chubby guys. Researchers for the Journal of the American Medical Association found that overweight people (but not obese) may live longer than people that are clinically normal body weight. So if your end goal is to live longer (and whose isn't?) then a guy with a little extra fat may be the perfect partner in crime.
5. They're better lovers.

Does size matter in the bedroom? You know it! But we're talking about belly size here. A study out of Turkey concluded that overweight men with obvious bellies last longer in bed than their thinner counterparts. Chubby guys have more of the female sex hormone estradiol in their bodies, which slows down their orgasms — meaning you guys can get it on all night long. Go big or go home!
