    I'm with lilyumyummfp on this one. I wish more curvy women would embrace their body instead of trying to hide or change it :)

    I don't really have a preference. There has been plenty of women I wasn't attracted to until I got to know them. Who they are is so much more important.

    Very curvy woman here who embraces what she has while make her body better. Might as well work what I got in the meantime right?

    Personally I think it's personal And I think what defines one doesn't another.... My preference for women body types are athletic but not "hard" looking and I perfer to look chiseled my self but I got a little ways to get there yet. Perfection is my goal and I'm treating my body like a science project.

    What defines a man or woman is his or her heart and soul, in my opinion.

    Be proud of who you are. Each of us is different.

    Do the best you can in taking care of yourself and your body. And while you are working on the outside, don't forget to work on your inner foundation as well.

    Unless one is seeking to become part of the hive mentality, it doesn't matter what other strangers think on the subject. What matters is what you believe and what you are doing with your life.

    Our outer body is a part of who we are. It isn't what we are, no matter how often that message keeps getting conveyed on here and every other place.

    I don't have a choice. My body decided to have curvy bust and hips and a smaller waist. So I shall choose to embrace them and continue to work to look supa sexy with them.

    Disagree. What defines them is what they prefer not what I prefer. What I prefer is my own subjective point of view.
    Now personally I prefer a female more on the athletically built side. Kim Kardashian type doesn't do it for me. Someone like Gina Carano or Allison Stokke does.

    Slim every time for me. Can't take my eyes off them I'm afraid.

    All these "what's on the inside comments" make me wanna melt, but I don't think the OP was asking what kind of inner qualities you find sexy... Just saying

    When I met my boyfriend I was 163 pounds with a 29 inch waist and 44 inch hips. He was attracted to me. Now my body is completely different and he let it slip that he prefers it now. I honestly don't blame him.

    If I was a man I'd do fat/curvy chicks. I prefer full figured women but I find it tough to accept my body sometimes ; (

    I was addressing what I perceive to be a disconnect; one that seems to be ramping up on the site with all the same or similar nature threads. Seems like rather ironic when people are told (on here and elsewhere) that it is what is on the inside the really matters).

    If the purpose of becoming healthy and fit is to become healthy and fit, asking strangers what they prefer with curves or not seems rather pointless, in my opinion.

    I've personally been attracted to both. Depends on the person I guess.

    Whichever one comes with a side order of confidence for her.

    Some women are just not built to be curvy & I think women with curves have a harder time trimming their bodies to the athletic type. With either build, you can still be healthy & toned.

    I'm naturally curvy, always have been. I definitely want to lose some weight & tone up my body, but I love my curves & completely embrace them.

    I completely agree. Love my curves but want the toned and firm. Curves are sexy

    @BasicGreatGuy why it so hard to fathom that majority of people are on here to impress both themselves and the other sex? That's human nature we are attracted to the (usually) other sexes body features, doesn't make us shallow or disconnected. I think most would be lying to you if they said they're not here cause they want to look sexy naked...

    For me sex appeal is probably my biggest motivator, I don't know why, and I don't care why. That's just the truth.....

    Edit* I just read your profile and I was thinking ok maybe this guys different lol then I got to the bottom of you poem and found this:

    Why I want to get in shape:
    BasicGreatGal has to be out there somewhere.

    I rest my case. Thanks for the good laugh though ;)

    Define "curves". Lots of 300lb 5'7" women claim to embrace their "curves" (don't get all bent now; I'm a fat girl so I can say fat things). What draws the line?

    I think embracing your curves (or your body period) is about living yourself as you are. I spent a huge portion of my life abusing myself to be a size 2-4 only to look in the mirror and see a fat girl. Lost a baby. Ended up in bed rest for next two pregnancies and gained 80 pounds. Finally learned to live who I am and now I am working very hard to be healthy. But I believe anyone can be sexy at any weight if they love who they are and have the confidence to show it. Do I want to be thinner. Yes. Because I want to be able to hike for 8 hours and stop because I arrived, not because I can't breath. But I never want to be so thin that I am hurting myself to get there and I now know that those curves I was given are part of who I am. Love my breasts, my *kitten*, my hips. I just want them smooth, strong and sexy.

    You missed the point entirely.

    And the statement on my profile is not contradictory to what I have said. Not even remotely.

    I get that physical attraction part. I haven't denied that is being part of the equation. However, when it starts becoming the focal point, which seems to be the case lately, I don't think that is good, especially when people are also told that it is what is on the inside that truly counts. It sends the wrong message, as the message that appears to be honestly conveyed, is a shallow skin deep one.

    I have made my point and I am not going to belabor it by continuing on.

    Basic Great Guy. I jumped in the middle of a conversation so I apologize. Do you like curves or thin or just whatever a person feels sexy as?
  • morning_joy
    morning_joy Posts: 1,063 Member
    As far as who I am attracted to...the origional question...I love both as long as the body in question belongs to someone who is confident in that body and embracing health and activity. I find a really active person sexy regardless of their size. There is something about someone who is pushing to exceed a previous accomplishment that really turns me on. Much rather be with someone who is going down that path that someone who has the perfect body and just sits around and admires it all day. Totally turned off by people who have to look perfect all the time. Girls who go to the beach with hair and make up done, guys who want to sit on the sidelines so they won't get wet or sweaty. I want playful people in my life!!

    I have no preference, as I believe "sexy" encompasses the totality of a lady.

    I do not care....I want the person I'm with to be able to keep up and be active like me. I want to cook healthy meals for her and enjoy eating clean and well together. As long as she's adventurous and active like myself...lets have a great time! Though I do enjoy a great pair of legs and booty....if we're going for simple answers...so I guess toned, but truthfully eh...non-factor
