Could a realy fat guy have his own visible gravitional pull

Any mass has a gravitational force but it´s so insignificant in a human as not worth taking into account.

Hi,
Every massive object from the smallest atom, to the largest stars have a gravitational force. Believe it or not, when you jump out of a plane and start falling towards the earth, the earth is falling towards you as well. The acceleration that is "felt" by the earth is proportional to the difference in your masses which is why the earth doesn't move perceptibly.
So yes, a really fat guy in space would eventually attract you to him.
Hope that helps,
Matt

All massive objects have a gravitational field. It would be imperceptible for such a mass.
However, the gravitational attraction between it and another massive object could be perceptible depending on the proximity of the objects e.g. you and the Earth.

Every one has a gravitational pull. It is not noticable because it is overwhealmed by earths. Gravity is best expressed by Newtons law of gravity;
Fgracity=(mass earthX mass object X constant) /r^2
