I have noticed this as my weight yo-yos in various years. An extra 30 lbs has a huge impact on my social life, not so much with people who are already my friends, but noticeably so when it comes to meeting new people. People are more likely to approach me when I am thinner. Is it because I am more confident and open? Because I look nicer? I don't know.
