    Dunno, but I would much rather look like one of the bottom four!

    THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

    I am a curvy lady and hope to always be curvy!! People often tell me I should weight 120-125 for my height and I happily say no, 140 is my goal forever... I love my curvys, my butt, my boobs and a layer of fat (even though it's a small layer) on my belly!

    I could never be the top row, I have gigantic hips (not just the fat, the bones too!) so it's nice to know that people still find more natural girls attractive!

    The top row, when compared to the bottom row, look like adolescent boys. Not my goal!

    Hmmm.....I don't think it is! And I think the majority of men would agree!

    Good question! I sure as hell don't find it sexy and thankfully neither does hubby - I've got 20-30 more pounds to lose and he already thinks I'm too skinny. :love:

    I'd MUCH rather look like Bettie Page or Marilyn Monroe than Twiggy any day

    I agree. I think women with curves are the most beautiful and I'm sure men agree too.

    Amen to this! The bottom 4 women are so much prettier. They look healthy and like women. the top look like skelatons. I would choose to look like the bottom row any day of the week! I want to look like a woman, not just bones.

    I have no idea. I don't see the appeal in protruding bones. I think women should have curves....that's what makes us women :-)

    It is my understanding that women need to have a little fat on their body to keep their cycles in check. They also need to have a little bit of fat for when they have babies. I would rather have curves than hip bones sticking out. I see super skinny chicks walking around all the time and I want to shove food down their throats. :explode: :laugh:

    I like my curves & would never want to be built like a 10 year old boy. IMO the bottom four are definitely nicer to look at.

    ^This.
    And as I recall, the thread ended up turning into an argument because people felt there was a lot of skinny-bashing going on.

    Proceed with caution, everyone.

    the stick insect look is never a good one in my eyes... i love my curves and would never want to lose them, just to have them on a smaller body would be nice :) but then i dont particularly like really skinny men either... just makes them look ill!

    I could never understand the appeal of the top 4. No offense but they have the body of a teenaged boy.....

    I love my curves and I don't care how much weight I lose, I wanna keep them :-)

    Propaganda. Notice how the top row are candid surprise shots that are especially unflattering to those women. the bottom row are all staged shots in very flattering poses.

    I would take either Marilyn or Keira's looks. Not fussed about the others.
