Men: Who LOVE Curvy Women?

agdeierl

I agree with all this. The thing about Marilyn Monroe, too, is yes she was curvy, but I don't remember seeing any flab, pooch, or jiggle on her. I don't know about you ladies, but my curves are not super firm like those where curvy women are depicted. If they were, I wouldn't even be trying to lose weight! I'm at a healthy weight now, I just have too much bodyfat and I'm not strong. Men may like curves, but they're assuming there's no overhang or cellulite involved! Frankly, with hips and a butt like that I don't know how Kim Kardashian is all firm and jiggle-free.
I agree, Christina Hendricks is super sexy--I'd love to have her body...except for her breasts. I'm sorry but they are practical-joke huge. I think it's a pity because they are so disproportionate that the detract away from the rest of her beautiful self! The thing that sucks for me a little bit I guess is that I feel like most men equate curvy women with large breasts (D or DD...or larger!). I am curvy but have C boobs, so I feel like I don't fit the bill. I also think oftentimes men who are a bit larger themselves also prefer larger women. It would be easier if my boyfriend was a bit bigger then, but he's such a stringbean! 6'3" and skinny, so I feel kind of whale-ish in comparison!

I prefer a slightly curvy women, healthy but not skinny,if you can see ribs theres a problem,lol. as far as self confidence that means alot because that means they will keep there self where they are or improve alittle. you are very beautiful dont worry about anything.

I'll pass on Megan Fox...too skinny for my tastes. I don't mind curves at all. I will definitely take a confident woman that weighs more over a skinny neurotic one.

Personal taste, but C or D is fine, anything larger is a bit too large, though I wouldn't compain too much at DD. I think generally I prefer C. If there was one thing that would make Christina more attractive it would be a breast reduction, everything else though, keep!

I see this topic float around a lot. It's always interesting to read. I'm finding my future body is going to be less than popular on the male preference scale :] I'm an ectomorph with a very slender frame..when I'm done losing my weight I'll be around 120 lbs and 5' 8" with lean muscles. I've found however that ultimately- I don't care if this is 'ideal' because it is just *me*. I can deal with that and be very happy that I don't look ultra hourglass but rather lithe and tallish.

Hmmm never thought of it this way. Now I know what my husband means when he says its not all about the way you look. I never got it until now.

Mrs_McFadden

Oh and I just had to add to this..I'm not even worried about 'attraction' btwn my husband and I on that front, being more muscular or thinner etc..not having as much of a rear end. I'm not even remotely cocky but I'll own it whatever I have and I think my sexuality trumps the fact that I don't have super huge breasts or something.

I render my women more feminine: leaner on the muscle, higher in the body fat, and smaller in the waist and shoulder.

However I date women of all shapes and sizes. Interestingly enough, the ones closest to my above statements have been black :laugh:

Confidence is great, but overly confident can be a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad thing (the female equivalent of that creepy guy who doesn't get the hint)

My biggest crush ever was all skin and bones, my first long term love was overweight, so ultimately mind > matter.

I agree with Mrs McFadden, find a (healthy) look that suits your aesthetic and go for it, **** everyone else!

If you think about it in terms of an instictive thing for men - women with an amount of body fat, and wide hips, are generally going to healthily carry, birth and nourish lotsa babies! And as far as male instincts go, it's alllll about reproduction! So yeah, there probably is a natural tendency for many towards the fuller figure.

I do not consider myself obese and I expect a partner to have at least some level of pride so as to not let one go to the point of morbid obesity.

Im sorry but do not take this to offence i had to quote this as i feel it is highly unfair to those among the community who are morbidly obese, i feel it is unjust making the comment of "I expect a partner to have at least some level of pride so as to not let one go to the point of morbid obesity"

Just because a person is of a very high weight does not mean that they let their pride slip to be in that situation, with all of us we all have our own issues and reasons with food that have led us to be on a weight loss website, but this does not mean that we do not respect ourselves because we have gotten to a high weight, i myself am at a high weight and i take pride with myself infact more than my cousins who are regarded at a healthy weight.

Please respect and celebrate the diversity of all members within this society as one may read this and interpret it in a way that leads to bad feelings about themselves, their weight and weight loss journey.

I will follow this up with as humans we all have the right to express our own opinions and views but regard must be given to others when expressing these views and opinions

Hooray for curvy bodies, but regardless of the shape rock it! A good smile and confidence (not cockiness) is never out of style

Ok so lets all take a second to remember we are on a site where most of us are curvy(the overweight kind not the JLo kind) now I am by NO MEANS saying fat girls cant rock what McDonalds gave em BUT we should also remember that askin guys what they like in a room full of "curvy" women is well not gonna get an honest opinion. Most guys prefer small girls with a little in the front and a little in the back...now I prefer to go to sleep and wake up a size 5 BUT we all dont get what we prefer which forces us to find the TRUE beauty behind the size

Ummm....just shows how my mind works because the first time I read the title of this thread I saw 'men who love CURRY'.....not that I'm obsessed with food or anything....

Getting back on topic though at 5'4 and 118lbs I am still pretty curvy, it's just the shape I am. Some people are slimmer and more athletic at that weight, I just tend to carry a little more weight on my chest and thighs. Ultimately there's no point in wishing I could be a different body shape, yes exercise can sure help but genetically I am what I am. Thank goodness we are all different and different people find different attributes attractive in a partner, life would be pretty boring if we were all the same anyway.

My personal preference is short girls 5'4" and below with wider hips, junk in the trunk and something decent up front. Also like thicker legs personally. I can appreciate all kinds of female forms, but that is still my overall preference. I think a woman about 5'4" and about 140-160 is about right.

I never considered myself as preferring one body style over the other. Although I do think "curvy" can cover a WIDE range of body styles depending on the person. One person's curvy=Salma Hayek, while another may hear curvy and think of Kirstie Alley at her high end.

I have to say: my preference is for a few curves but definitely not a walking skeleton that society keeps saying is the preference.

My answer is that it isn't size at all that matters. I guess I am just more open in my taste than many of the guys who have replied here. It's not about the size of the woman (or lack thereof), it's about the woman herself. I can appreciate a beautiful heavy woman as much as a beautiful thin woman. I know it sounds lame, but beauty starts in the eyes. Not that I don't find myself looking at other parts as well. It's just that the physical thing will come when you find yourself attracted to the person inside the body. The eyes are the pathway to the soul and that's where you get to see the personality come out. Be who you are, like yourself and you will find people liking you. Once there is an attraction to the person, the attraction to the body comes naturally. Anything else just seems really superficial to me - and to me superficial is the biggest turn off there is.
