Do guys still like girls that look like this?

BinaryPulsar

So at the risk of sounding super serious... I have to say I don't fully understand the point of these threads. They always seem to be started be girls who are "curvy" themselves and thus are seeking validation for what they believe society finds as unacceptable. If you look all over the place you will find people who like all body types. Sometimes you will even find a guy who doesn't care if a girl is fat or small. The fact of the matter is what does it matter what society thinks about bodies? The only body I'm really concerned with is my own body and the only validation that I wish to seek is my own. Somewhere out there are men who are going to the love the body I had, the body I currently have and the body I will have but what I care most about is myself loving the body I have. Don't get so hung up on what the world wants or thinks. Just take care of yourself and be healthy and happy and love what you were born with. There is going to be plenty of men out there that will like your body, and your face. Don't worry about that. I don't, my only concern in referrence to other people is finding a man who will love what is inside no matter how beautiful the outisde may be. My quirkiness, my humor, my darkness, my flaws and my intelligence.

But hey, that's just me.

Preach it sister!

Not a man but the first girl is SMOKING! The other ones do not appeal to MY sense of aesthetics, in the same way that I find some fit girls smoking and some other fit girl not so attractive.

All that said, I'd rather be healthy at a healthier body fat % than bombshell curvy since I don't model for a living!

I can't even IMAGINE finding clothes that would properly fit bodies like those.

I barely have an *kitten* and have a pretty ruler straight body, and I STILL have problems finding jeans that fit both my *kitten*, thighs, and waist properly, at the same time.

Those women (if they ACTUALLY look even remotely close to that) must have one helluva time dressing.

Yes, since I am close to that figure shape. Yes you're right. It is hard finding clothes. I am also lucky enough to be just in between petite sizes AND plus sizes simultaneously. So yeah sometimes all the lucky brand clothes don't fit so I mosey over to lane bryant to be told their pants are all too big and be handed a pair to try on to see it's true. Sometimes I think I should just walk around naked. New jean cuts, and stretch in the jeans and tailoring are all blessings to me.

Op, what were trying to gain from this post ?

Hmmm not sure I appreciate the way you phrased that but I will give you the benefit of the doubt this time. Gain? Nothing. It was just a light hearted post with pics to get people talking. (because people always say that the post is worthless without them). This is the Chit-Chat, Fun and Games board calm down... it's just to get people talking.

I think some guys do and others don't.

I agree with the comments about the photoshopping presenting an unrealistic and unachievable image.

The women all look beautiful to me, despite whatever photoshopping went on.

Right. It all comes down to personal preference.

Nope. All men have one type and one type only. And thats not these girls. They're fat.

OP, if you look like these girls, better start using the stairmaster. Don't lift weights though, they will make you bulky.

I am letting everyone know that you and I do it while on the treadmill eating waffles.

All guys like the same body types and since I'm a guy, I can speak for all of us when I say












These girls are too fat. Get on the treadmill.

Being bigger than they are and currently on a treadmill, I hope you're kidding.

You can't be that happy with your appearance since you seem to still have about 50 lbs to lose on your ticker.

I don't think so.

jonnythan

These women are all gorgeous, regardless of whether or not they've been photoshopped. My husband would dump me in a hot minute if he could have one of these women! Seriously, BONES ARE NOT SEXY!

More body shaming!

Incidentally, is the fact that obesity is sexy the reason you're trying to lose 115 pounds?

...You just called someone out for body shaming, then body shamed them back?!

I'm not body shaming anyone. I am pointing out that these people can't be totally happy with large amounts of excess body fat because they're trying to get rid of it on their own bodies.

Being her friend, she seems happy enough. Were you happy 62 lbs ago? Or did you just cried and got picked on by the cool kids till you finally decided to start moving and eating properly?

My opinion- not that anyone cares - but girls that are sizes 0,1,2,3...etc. get doctored up and airbrushed and photo shopped just the same and no one causes such a fuss! They have cellulite, lines, spots, and acne scars and no one complains that Britney Spears, Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie etc.- get airbrushed, and photo shopped- not to mention the $1,000s of dollars that they can spend on plastic surgery.

Perfect example-porn -NOONE looks like that on a daily basis and if they do they have had so many surgeries there is nothing real on that woman, and it's completely disgusting.

I agree with this thread and what she is trying to say- are bigger women still sexy? YES way more sexy than skinny girls IMO-a friend made the perfect comment last night that put this in perspective for me.

Him: have you ever eaten chicken?
Me: yes
Him: and have you felt the bones?
me: yes
him: well when I am with a woman I don't want to feel like I am holding a piece of chicken with a bunch of bones-I like a women with substance and something to rub.

I agree! A woman is supposed to have curves and be a WOMAN! This preconceived "new age" woman is ruining what a woman should be!

But I agree with this thread whole heartedly but the fact of the matter is in media, internet, advertising, and everything in the public eye now-a-days is doctored up to be what they think we should look like and not what is real! We are perfect they way we are- we need to just focus on being healthy and getting in shape - not PERFECT in the eyes of hollywood.

I mean come on do we want to end up like Amanda Bynes- yes she has a perfect body-perfect boobs, face, hair everything but lets not forget all the plastic surgery-personal trainer-drugs-selling of the body for drugs and THE CRAZY! No thanks hollywood keep your crazy drug sex-crazed personas! I am good with me

Spoke like a true Hulk.

Does this one make you feel better?

Personally, yes, because that's a shape that can occur in nature. :laugh: On the other hand, compared to the overly photoshopped woman, Marilyn looks almost shapeless.

And that's what I find ridiculous and frustrating about some of those photos. Not all of them, but some of them. When an image is so exaggerated that what many consider the sexiest woman ever can't hold a candle next to them in the curves department, something's gone horribly wrong.

62 pounds ago, I wasn't under the impression that my body was as functional or beautiful as it could be. I don't see what you're getting at.

Really, you are cool with a guy comparing women to pieces of chicken that he is eating? Sounds like a real winner.

You could never possibly know what motivates someone to change their body. People do it for all different reasons.

How many of you realize this thread is just an excuse to argue?

wow... and the body shaming continues to run rampant....

Also, I think a point is being missed. Yes, some people are here to lose weight (obviously), but that does not mean that they are not exercising and doing the work. And it also does not mean that they deserve to be put down in any way just because they are working towards a goal.

^ I agree.

The photo of Marilyn is better but she's still a more acceptable/palatable version of 'curvy'. Maybe she wouldn't be such a sex symbol if she had a few more rolls like Beth Ditto:

See thats the thing. Not everyone is as insecured about their body as you are. Me personally, I was miserable with my body. But after working out and starting to eat right etc I started to love my body.

You can both work on improving your body and still be happy with it. So many folks here who've never been overweight find themselves working hard purely because they're trying to improve their already awesome bodies. And then there are those folks who've never been fat and yet still aren't happy with their bodies. Being happy with your body is a state of mind. Not weight

She didn't say whether she was happy with herself or not? At all. Did you make a mistake? Did you mistake her for someone on here you were already in a verbal battle with? She did say however that she is on a treadmill currently and so that would imply the opposite and you pointing this out just makes no sense and is kind of insensitive. I get that taunto was doing sarcasm after reading his later post, but clearly it did not come across and it read as sincere to someone else, is this your attempt at same?

I agree! A woman is supposed to have curves and be a WOMAN! This preconceived "new age" woman is ruining what a woman should be!

So because have a rectangular shape (by genetics), and a lower bf% (by choice) . . . I am not a woman? Hmmm . . . . I think my husband and the 2 children I birthed and breastfed would disagree with you- I'm ALL woman baby!!!

This is why these threads SUCK- because OP is looking for validation for her own body type and other people feel that in order to validate her and themselves they have to shame other body types- if you have big t*ts and a big a** and you're happy with it more power to you- but don't put me down because I don't
