do men prefer skinny women?

And to be clear...I didn't do it because I like wearing women's clothing or because I wanted to make her feel like crap. I was just psyched that I lost enough weight to fit into the jeans of someone I felt was in really good shape. Try explaining your way out of that without feeling like more of a douche bag.
You must have on heck of a sense of humor. Your girlfriend too.0 -
My son is 24 and he's attracted to LARGE size women. If anyone has seen the show Operation Repo I think it's called, my son is attracted to the big woman on there. I can't stand that whole family.

My first wife was a petite browneyed brunette Jew of Russian descent.
My second wife was a athletic big busted broweyed dishwater blonde Catholic of Italian descent.
My third wife was a curvy greeneyed blonde Christian of Czech descent.
My fourth (and last) wife is a blueeyed curvy busty (raised Mormon) of Heinz 57 descent. Hair is considered Auburn. Least that's what it says on the Clairol bottle.
I prefer strong willed, independent, "take no *kitten*" kind of women. I don't care about their body type.
You are gonna become a quick favorite around here! There are a lot of us here!
He already is a favourite!0 -

ROFL!!!
You were just having a fun moment and it crashed and burned b/c that is almost sacred to a woman LOL....
You poor thing hahhaa.
Re: media and perception of beauty. It works. If it didn't they wouldn't spend millions upon millions of dollars creating those images for the public to pursue and warp our minds around. Perfection must be unattainable so that we may chase the carrot for perpetuity to consume the maximum amount of money in order to get that carrot.
Kind of like making products with in built obsolescence...concepts of beauty changing and having a complex relationship with fashion just ends up being a super speeded up sick cocktail of "screw your humanness" thank you.
I'm so glad I have my own personal brain and can pick out the taint thought by thought.
P.S.
Clothing looks better on taller thinner body types, it's a good hanger.0 -

Yeah? Try finding pants long enough. I can only get them from Victorias Secret's catalog, they are the only ones I can find that go up to 36" inseam. It really stinks sometimes. I would love to buy clothes off the rack on clearance just once!!!!0 -
This is such a loaded question. Curvy to one man might be skinny or heavy to another. There is no way to generalize the interests of every man and, likewise, there is no perfect body type for women to achieve. You should never lose or gain weight just to attract the opposite sex because no matter what size you are there will be people that find you attractive. And if a relationship is based solely on looks then it's shallow. There has to be more than physical attraction to keep a relationship going.
That being said, my personal interests vary quite a bit. Before I was married there wasn't a set type of woman that I looked for. I've dated really skinny chicks and I've dated obese chicks. I've dated red heads, brunettes, and blondes. In other words, I've never gone into a bar and said I'm going to ask the skinniest chick here out on a date. What it really comes down to for me is personality. Chemistry just happens and I prefer to find it blindly. If you look healthy, have confidence and make me smile then I will probably find you to be attractive.
And honestly I think the media is getting a bad rap out of all of this. There is fantasy land (V.S. commercials, Batwatch, etc) and there is reality. I don't know about you all but there aren't too many swimsuit models where I live. Sure there are some stunning women around but I doubt too many guys are holding out in hopes of dating Adriana Lima.0 -
My EX used to tell me I wouldn't be as attractive to him if I lost weight. :noway: Talk about incentive to not do anything about my weight!0

There ya all go with the term "curaceous" that really seems to have a differant definition for differant men.
I would be thinking more like the pin up girls of the 50s,that sort of curvy.0 -

I only have a measly 32" inseam to your luscious 36" but my point still rings true!
It *looks* better...but obviously those longer inseams are rarer and above average in the population.
So you know, count your blessings silly woman!0 -

It does have different meanings to different men. That's the beauty of the human race. I find a woman who is fit: small waist, nice hips, round butt, to be the most desirable. When a woman has a small waist and nice butt, I'm going to steal a peek whether I want to or not. If she has a gut, especially a gut that hangs over her waistline, I'm not going to be remotely attracted to her. It's not what I like. So, when I say curvaceous, I usually try to put fit and curvaceous in the same sentence because that's what I like. If skinny girls are girls that are inside their optimum BMI range, then that's what I like. I mean i do like fit girls.0 -

Funny, my EX said the opposite... hence why he's an ex.0 -
So do men prefer the Jillian Micheals body type? Not seeing to many curves there... Whenever I see her, for some reason the words "ironing board" pop into my head...
had to LOL when i read this: JM was recently on the cover of one of the fitness magazines that i subscribe to and my hubby kept flipping the magazine over so the cover was down -- it was on a table in the livingroom -- i would pick it up, read a bit, put it back, but i kept noticing it was turned upside down and i knew he was the one who kept doing it. So i asked why he kept doing this and he said he couldnt take it... she was making him think impure thoughts LMAO! ... So yeah, not only do *I* think Jillian is a fine example of fitness, apparently my hubby does as well!! LOL!0 -

I feel kind of screwed in a way because my ultimate goal is to be ultra fit with *muscles*. I want definition and strength! I don't care if men don't like it.0 -

Dare i say when you get to the weight/condition you're aiming for that men WILL be attracted to you, not because you are thin/curvy/muscular, but because you are confident, upbeat and happy! Now THAT will attract and KEEP a man! Having a hot bod is the icing on the cake!

I love a little gut on a guy. It's cuddly and I love to rub my husbands all the time. 0 -
I'm not picky, I'm very often attracted to all shapes and sizes xD0

Forgive me for being lewd, but compare the average weight of a runway model to the average weight of a porn star. Im sure you'll find a good 25%-50% difference in poundage
Also breasts, butts, thighs, and hips aren't not made of fat
Fun Fact: If you want to get scientific, the average man prefers a woman who's waist to hip ratio is 70:100. Depending on your genetic distribution of bodily materials, that could range BMI wise from "underweight" to "overweight" (and WHR is also a better indicator of health)0 -

I mentioned hip ratios but thanks for the specifics...
And yeah, breasts have a lot of fatty tissue. Thighs and hips? Also love fat. So any fat on a woman..even if THINNER will go there. It doesn't go to her toes. Or her eyeballs. Or her hair.0 -

Ah yes, but those abundant adipose deposits (other than a less developed musculature and slightly different skeleton) are the largest sex defining secondary sexual characteristic on a female! That is to say, a girl that is too skinny girls has a degree of masculinization that I personally find works against my attraction to the opposite gender.
Anyho, I like curves :flowerforyou:0 -
I have always thought skinny girls are prettier.
I dont like curves and if I ever had a big butt, i think I would cry!:sad:
I'm straight btw! lol :laugh:
but anyway...guys always tell me that they like "something" on a body...which I understand...but still, I dont know if they were just being nice to me at the time...haha.:laugh:
Although, I def got more attention when I was "thicker".:ohwell:0 -
I can't afford to be picky, I am into any woman that gives me the time of day.
I thought the same thing about myself!
Well, not that I'm into any WOMAN that gives me the time of day...:laugh:0 -
