    I'll just say the OP's profile statement doesn't really help her case here.

    LMAO!

    I say get to a state of healthful living, a weight and physique you are happy with that you don't have to kill yourself to maintain, and the men who are attracted to that body type will take notice.

    Also, wear red. :wink: :tongue: because all men like a woman wearing red. :flowerforyou:

    It depends on the woman's frame, some look better skinny than others. I personally prefer an "athletic" look, like sprinters.

    Also, there are so many other things than weight that go into making a woman attractive.

    AGREED

    Nothing in that profile helps her. She has many grammar errors, spelling is atrocious... And she should know that a dream to go to law school, does a lawyer not make. Passing the bar and having a law degree does, however.

    Without reading through 4 pages the simple and usual answer is NO!

    Nor does that imply a guy likes obese and non feminine shapes by default,they are both extremes and the same question could be put to ladies about guys.

    I do not want a lady with no curves and the body of a teenage boy,maybe some do and that is their right but based on dozens of these threads they are in the minority.

    A feminine figure that is healthy looks good at quite a range of actual weights.

    Maybe her diploma says "Sally Caruthers" on it...

    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

    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.

    Think I might be blasted for this...
    As far as most attractive to me...I'm leaning towards A...someone between A & B is where I would like to be for myself personally...

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

    It's their tan skin isn't it. Do all men like tanned skin?

    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.
