    I'd take B too, but to me neither A nor C is really bad. Both are acceptable in my books.... Don't take that as me not having standards, lmao... I definitely do.

    How can I phrase that where you understand that. DONT blow this out of proportion, also if you quote me with something stupid I am not going to respond. I know what I like in a dude. All I am asking is that why does America portrays skinny as pretty when normal people don't.

    It's not "America" portraying anything...it's the fashion world, which I'll point out is largely non-American. "Normal" men don't typically go for that exotic, fashion-model thin look. "Normal" people also don't wear bat-wing ponchos with skin tight leather pants, and studded 7 in platform stilettos from Vivienne Westwood either. I guess we aren't as affected by fashion as you'd imagine...

    Warning - politically incorrect stuff to follow.

    I think that it is safe to say that although men _say_ that they like "this that or the other thing", if you go to a (bar, gym, coffee house, supermarket, beach, dog park, etc etc etc) thinner women get more male attention - if they are not "unhealthy" looking. I would like to add "statistically speaking" - but I have no stats on the subject, just lots of experience seeing this in action.

    Yes, there are men who like slightly thicker or slightly thinner women, there are men who like "anorexic" women, there are men who like really large women... but I think that there's plenty of evidence that the distribution of male preferences of women, by BMI (or some such measurement) is in the shape of a bell curve, with the center of the bell showing preference for thin but healthy, and falling off towards the extremes in both directions. I have no proof, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is the case.

    Anecdotally, look how people "vote" with their dollars: In the media, "trim but healthy" women are the biggest draw at the box office and the small screen. Of course, in fashion, the thin thing seems to be taken to extremes... and strangely, it seems to me that fashion photography's audience is skewed significantly towards the female population (look at the size of the women's clothing section vs men's at any department store, or just the sheer number of stand-alone women's clothing stores)

    Personally, I weigh intelligence and personality very highly, but all other things equal, I'd prefer a trim and healthy looking woman, allowing for quite a bit of variation in that range.

    I don't think that's politically incorrect, I think you are spot on.

    :drinker:
    Agreed

    But I'd take C or A depending on mood.
  • Apparently..my hubby likes me just the way I am. A little thicker around the bottom is ok for him. Every man is different though. I've skinny guy friends who only date enormous women. and vice versa. It's all personal opinion/interest.

    A just does not look appealing to me, at all.

    I think every guy has their own personal preferences, whether it's lots of T&A, very athletic, "thick" (hate that word, but you get it), and some guys really don't have a preference. I didn't marry my husband based on his looks, lol. That's not to say that I don't find him very attractive and appealing. Just because you've lost weight doesn't mean you can't get guys anymore!! LOL If anything, I think the VAST majority of men are attracted to women that take care of themselves. Inside AND out.

    My wife actually looks like a Victoria's seceret model and I wouldn't want it any other way. Don't kid yourself that a lot of guys don't want that as well.

    but VS is commercial modelling and not fashion modelling. There is a huge difference. The women in the VS catalog have amazing bodies, but they are very healthy with reasonable amounts of meat on their bones.

    You don't always see that in Alexander McQueen editorials, if you know what I mean.

    Commercial modelling seems to encompass the "ideal" of beauty, while fashion modelling is more focused on the eccentric, imo.

    Non-creep comment here. I have viewed your pictures and the one I liked best I think you deleted. I think you are at a very nice place right now, figure wise. I would not want you at "a" personally. But that's just one schmuck's personal opinion.

    I'll be happy with C. Not built for a B type body, even at my smallest weight.

    And on a side note: can we please keep the hostile comments about "grammar" and other such trivialities out of this thread?? In fact, keep it out of the forums. It's very annoying and serves no purpose whatsoever than to make this thread ridiculously and unnecessarily long and irritating to read. All in favor, respond accordingly and just please refrain from posting nonsense. Thank you :ohwell:

    Here I thought the purpose was to correct someone in hopes they'd learn the err of their ways. I certainly like being told when I am wrong, but I have dignity and a thirst to learn so...

    This thread had me laughing out loud!

    A) Who gives a rats *kitten* if "all" men like skinny girls? If that was true, I'd be a lesbian! My man loves me for me, not my size (although, he can't deny that he's enjoyed the bigger boobs...), if he was to ever become as shallow as the men some people in this thread seem to hang out with I wouldn't be with him.

    B) Grammar nazis unite!!! If you don't care enough to even spell correctly/form a coherent sentence or paragraph, you deserve to have it pointed out. If you choose to have no sense of humour and take it as some personal attack and blow it out of proportion, well then that's your problem. I sincerly hope there's a plan B if law school is plan A.....

    Again, why is it "shallow" to have a physical preference? It's only natural. We could actually say the same thing about your man. Is he not shallow for enjoying your bigger boobs? Well some men enjoy slim waist/legs too - but suddenly they're shallow? :laugh:
