Curves vs Skin and Bones!

KS_4691

Weird NSV for me... I used to be a 00 and now I'm a 2 and I've been super self conscious about it. But everyone (male and female) seems to love that picture of the woman with tats, and right now I look pretty similar to that from behind (without tattoos though). So maybe I don't look too terrible with the extra weight? Haha.

There's a band that plays Renn Faires called The Jolly Rogers. They do a song appropriate to this thread...

* * * * * * *

I‘ve traveled all over and one thing I have found
Skinny girls have nothing to wrap your arms around
I‘ve been to every corner of this great big world
And found there’s nothing better than a curvy, curvy girl

Chorus:
Nothing can compare with the natural curves I love.
Even when I’m sleeping it’s curvy girls I dream of
Curvy girls are lovely curvy girls are great
Curvy girls make me want to master…my own fate

So if you are out there looking listen to these tips
Find an ample bosom and some child bearing hips
An hour glass figure with all the curves just right
That’s the best thing in the world to keep you warm at night.

Chorus

I know those waifish models are what they say are hot
But what I am looking for those girls they just ain’t got
I’ll stick with these curvy girls that give me so much joy
And you can keep the models that look like pre-teen boys.

Chorus

More than a handful’s wasted well I say that’s just bull
For I have two good hands and they should both be full
If you want my attention well here’s a sure bet
All you need to do is flash me your curvy silhouette

Chorus

I've been underweight, and I've been overweight. Honestly, I felt better overweight. Granted, I feel best of all strong and healthy and fit, but if I had to choose between skinny and pudgy, I'd take pudgy.

I'm also one of those small petite women who ends up with taller, muscular men... In my ex's case he's taller but with a little weight on.
I like the security of a tall muscular mans arms around me...

Me too. I'm not quite 5'2, small frame, but I have always been attracted to men who are a lot bigger and taller. I agree that it is kind of a primitive thing. It makes me feel safer.

I'm 4' 10 1/2". It's not that I'm actually attracted to taller men. It's just that *everyone* is taller than me. Seriously. 5' 2" seems tall to me.

As far as the original topic. I have no desire to be skin and bones. I definitely prefer being curvy. Ideally, I'd like a classic movie star type of body. Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, Claudette Colbert, Jayne Mansfield etc. I like softness. I do not necessarily want defined muscles.

p.s. you need to stop staring at that photo, Cris. hah

I think *I* need to stop staring at that picture!!

Suzi, I think you and I would get along wonderfully with a small amount of effort lol .

hehe, i think we'd get on fine. me debating with you doesnt mean i wouldnt like you.

suzycreamcheese

This is usually how most people view skinny vs curvy....







Kim Kardashian often a leading example of curvy!! Might I add, she is DAMN hot. Even I drool a bit every time I see her.

every single one of those women has a great body imo
I think posh spice especially looks amazing there, but they all look great.

Done deal

Btw, if Posh Spice is in the middle with the blue...I agree completely. I'd choose that girl over the others in those specific pictures. I've seen Kim look stunning on others though.

posh spice is the first one. She is very thin and underweight, but i still think she looks good, but im not always the most realistic when it comes to ideal womens figures. I do like the waif look best, although appreciate other figures too.
Funny how (at least) 2 out of three, or possibly all 3 of the celebrated curvy women there have implants.
Not that i mind implants at all, or any other form of body modification, but if its pushed as this is an ideal curvy woman, seems just as unfair and unnattainable for most women, as pushing the waif-look

foodfight247

I totally agree with you elisabat. Me being 4'11".....

Curvy is definitely loads better!

tigger81560

I agree she is curvy...and I will gladly give you some of my meat..here take all you want. LOL.... Honestly I have never known anyone who needed to GAIN weight... I have always needed to lose and as I get older and I have health problems its like a losing battle. I am hoping I can lose 25 LBS I would be thrilled.....and tone up. Good Luck to you.

OMG! I'm with you. The girl on the bottom is scary skinny

You know that's photoshopped right? Models who look like that don't work. Give me a few and I'll find the original.

i have a 'curvy' bottom half, but not so much up top, so i find i am much better on the skinny side, as i am better proportioned.

I find a lot of people use the term curvy when actually they are just excusing the fact that they are over weight - obviously i dont mean the hollywood examples that have been posted as they are all normal size!

yeah they did it a lot for some reason. photoshopped normal models to freak people out. check out snopes, and see the photshopped versions which were all over the news, and then the original versions below

I think I need to let some people know some facts here, I'm sorry I am not trying to make anyone feel bad. We all have different views, and what I am talking about is not people who are overweight I am talking about the people (eg the hollywood examples with the curves). I'm just saying I do not like it when you can see peoples rib cages and bones. Thin and Skin and Bones are too very different things to me!!

suzycreamcheese

its just peoples frames though isnt it. Seeing someones ribs, does not always mean theyre too skinny, just as someone having a roll of flab doesnt make them overweight necessarily.
I carry all my weight on my legs and bum, and barely any on my top half. my ribs are very visible in some positions, and lights and not so much in others, but my thighs are really chunky in comparison and im a healthy weight. Its just the way im built. Would like the fat to be more evenly distributed, but not a lot i can do about that without letting my legs getting unnacceptably big, and even then youd probably still be able to see them.
Its like saying someone with knobbly knees is too skinny etc.

i'm talking about people that you can obviously tell have an ED though..

I don't know, man.. I'm pretty sure models like that really do exist. yugh.

I'm not quite 5'2, small frame, but I have always been attracted to men who are a lot bigger and taller. I agree that it is kind of a primitive thing. It makes me feel safer.

See how it is?

Poor guys like myself at 5'7 always get the shaft. Here we have a beautiful (I know this), intelligent, witty, friendly, SHORT girl...

And as usual she wants the jolly green giant.../sigh!

Haha. I don't want a giant. I want someone I can hug and kiss without needing a step ladder. I just am physically drawn to taller guys. The good thing about me is that I'm so short that even in my highest heels, I am still shorter than pretty much every guy I know. My last boyfriend was 5'8, so I'm an equal opportunity kind of girl.

As far as I know the height of an average women in the US is about the same as here in the UK - about 5 feet 4. Therefore unless a guy is really on the short side he will usually be taller than a large amount of dateable women.

I don't think height is a deal breaker for most women. I've never heard a woman say "You know, he was kind, loyal, generous and the sex was amaaazing but he was just TOO short."

Of my friends, the guy who stands literally head and shoulders (not literally of course above us all in the attracting women stakes is a good 6" shorter that I am at a little over 5feet 6. The thing is he is just supremely confident and that just obliterates any height "advantage". I have seen him literally stand at the serving counter at a bar and say hi to every women that walks passed, good looking or not. The amount who stopped to have a chat and who then gave him their number was enough to kept him constantly in demand. Fun times being single.

I think we are all biologically designed to be attracted to certain things, but what it all boils down to is that some people only have their physical attributes and don't bring anything else to the table. I don't want to downplay the importance of physical attraction in a relationship, but there obviously has to be more than that or the physical things are worthless. I always thought being short was a flaw, probably in large part because I have a twin sister (fraternal) who is 6 inches taller than I am, and she always seemed to get more attention. But now that I'm a grown woman, I love my height (or lack thereof). I love that I can put on a pair of 5-inch heels and not tower over the guy standing next to me. Not every woman can get away with that, but I can, and that makes me feel sexy and feminine.

Women talk about feeling more "secure" with a taller/bigger guy, but the truth is that no matter how tall someone is, if he doesn't care about you, he's not going to put himself in harm's way for you. A man who loves you will do whatever is necessary to keep you safe, and height will not be a factor. So biology does not outweigh rationality. For me, at least.

Skin and bones looks better in clothes, but curves looks better without.

Yes, very well put. From an evolutionary perspective women may be genetically hardwired to look for a man who is tall or broad as it denotes strength, the ability to shield her from harm, care and protect her. However, the reason that man risen to be the most dominant species on the plant is our ability to think and rise above our inherently animal nature to our betterment. Our mind is now our most important asset is the times we live in.

Cognito ergo sum.

Totally agree with you on this one. I'm short too.
