Guys who find curvy girls more attractive...

juliesummers

Based just on this forum (with the exception of a few "different strokes for different folks" comments), I would be alone forever. Not all of us were "blessed" with large breasts and an extreme waist to hip ratio (because, let's face it, when guys say they want a "curvy" girl they're really saying they want an hourglass shape - not simply one with more fat on it).

I will never be busty and traditionally curvy, so I personally prefer to be lean with a flat stomach, toned arms and a perky round (cellulite-free) booty. All of my boyfriends have loved my body (even/especially when I'm thinner), and I've been boyfriendless only for a total of three months since I turned fourteen eight years ago.

I guess my point is that it hurts a bit to see how much emphasis the guys here put on having boobs/a body type that is not obtainable for some of us, but I am glad (for my sake) that my guy friends almost all seem to prefer slim, fit girls so that we get a chance too :P

Guys love curves. They idle is a women who eats crap like us guys but looks good in the end. Possible, nope, but we are sick that way.

Hm... I'm 130 pounds at 5'4", a definite hourglass (pretty much all boobs and thighs, tiny waist). I've lost around 10 pounds in the last year and some of my softness as well... my legs are firming up from toning and I'm gaining muscle. If anything, my boyfriend has been more attracted to how I've been better taking care of my body, but I think most of that is my confidence. Still, I'll always be curvy, was even when I weighed 110 five years ago. I think there are just as many guys who find curvy girls attractive as do those who tend more toward slender ones.

But, you know, my "type" changes every time I date someone new. None of my past boyfriends look anything alike. *shrug*

Sorry if this was rambley.

Sounds like you have my body type!

slimmingdownsteph

this happened to me yesterday!
my boyfriend told me that he doesn't want me to be really thin and toned...
it blew my mind because HE'S thin and toned lol.

he told me that women have different anatomy for a reason XD.

My husband loves all the weight Im losing. Unfortunately, I had a breast reduction and he admitted to me he misses them very much which makes me feel bad. I did it for myself and I am happy with my new chest, but it saddens me that he wants me to look like the "a barbie" being super skinny with a huge rack. I couldn't exercise with those things! I was wearing 3 bras every time I wanted to go for a jog! And push ups are you kidding me? My boobs would hit the floor before I started bending my elbows! Lol. I would rather be healthy with boobs that don't hit me in the face every time I try to exercise! I still think of myself as curvy because I have wide hips and still full on top, I just need to lose about 10% more body fat before Im satisied with my body as a whole. But I can't help but think, If I lose anymore boobage, is he gonna walk? Some guys are just attracted to that and he was and now that Im losing it, I guess Im not as attractive to him anymore :sad:

While the physical aspects of a women are not my highest priority, if I have to talk only about the physical.... I guess I'm not the typical guy. I prefer women that are thinner with smaller breasts. Quite honestly to me I like long, shapely legs and and small rear end also. However, I also prefer women that are darker skinned (thin Polynesian) with black hair. However my long time wife whom I love with all my heart is a 5' 7' 135lb fair skinned blonde with a B cup and prior to meeting her I was never, ever interested in blondes. Go figure.

My wife too is considering a breast reduction. Me being me I keep telling her I love her just the way she is, in reality I'd prefer she get the breast reduction...

I like them breathing and with a pulse... unless I'm feeling frisky that day then anything is game!

How YOU doin'...

(lame, I know...but I do have a pulse

Not surprised that there are a ton of responses to this question! Here's my two cents:

The body type of women who tend to attract my eye could best be categorized as "thick." Examples of this body type would be Rachel True (prior to her weight loss) and Jill Scott. A size 10 -14 with curves usually will turn my head much quicker that a size 6. That's not always the case, there are exceptions.

I prefer curves over slender...

My boyfriend's definitely said "ew, ick" when seeing a super bony actress.

I think that guys really like anything with a skirt lol

I think that guys really like anything with a skirt lol

I draw the line at men wearing skirts though. I guy has to have standards

Elzecat

Curves are what's all about. A girl without curves is just a man.

Hm...ok I'll pass that along to my gorgeous, statuesque coworker (5'11, super thin, flat chested) who is getting ready to marry a wonderful man (who happens to be about 5'6 in a couple months... in case she doesn't realize she's a man. COME ON.

This has actually been a very sore topic in my house. I have lost a lot of weight, and it seems a lot of it has gone from my boobs. My hubby is not happy about that. He has complained a lot to me about it, and says I am "too skinny". Until one morning when he walked into the bathroom when I was getting dressed. He saw me in a hot pink bra and thong ... and commented on how good I looked. (I almost fainted!)

I feel sexier now that I am thinner. When I was heavier I was embarrassed about my body. My only sore point is that I need a tummy tuck to get rid of the flab (skin?) that having 7 babies causes.

I think guys like to see sexy. Get some cool stuff, like a corset or a garter belt, and I bet your BF will change his mind.

Guys, what EXACTLY is the kind of preferred body type?

This.

Aweeee!

I think the definition of curvy tends to be as subjective as the definition of beauty. I have friends who are overweight and in relationships with men who adore them. And I have friends who are underweight with small breasts and hips and also have partners who love them. There is no standard definition of what is or can be attractive. If there was I think life would be far less interesting, but that's just me.

On a slightly different note: I had an epiphany related to this issue a few days ago, so I just thought I'd share. (Small tangent to follow.) I've been overweight a lot of my life, and for a long time I equated fat with being ugly (for myself, not for everyone else). As I've started losing weight (and I'm only at the beginning of my weight loss) I've realized that I previously only allowed myself to be attracted to people who I felt I wouldn't look extremely fat (and therefore ugly) standing next to (I still find these people to to legitimately attractive; I just denied the variety of what I found to be attractive). I cannot believe my confidence was so low as to deny my attraction to certain people for fear that they would immediately dismiss me as fat and ugly. I realize how messed up this is NOW. And I can't believe I did that to myself. Fat is equivalent to fat; fat is not equivalent to ugly.

I think that there is a limit to how skinny a woman should get. Eventually, many can get to the point where they are rails with no boobs, no real curvature to their bodies, and you can see it in their faces. While these women can still be very beautiful, in many cases they're more beautiful with a little extra weight on them, more curvature, and a fuller face. I had a girlfriend (an ex now) who was petite but she wasn't skinny and she had curves. With some guys, I'm sure thin-as-a-rail is their thing, but I doubt that that view is in the majority. Women of this type would include Katy Perry (fit but with plenty of curves), Carla Gugino, and Jennifer Connelly (in the days of "The Rocketeer").

I noticed you said that his opinion maid you sort of rethink your weightloss goal...ultimately all guys will always be different because they are different people, but try to stay true to what YOU want when it comes to your weightloss goal because that's what's going to make you truly happy.

babylemonade

My boyfriend is the same way. He keeps telling me not to get obsessed or try to get skinny, lol. I'm glad he likes me the way I am, because I don't want to be skinny anyway!

What he loves most is that I have shapely hips and..ahem, my backside. I think that this is definitely the age of the *kitten*.

hedgiie

Personally i like bodies from playboy than elle magazines. I think this is noticed by modelling world too since i notice that the models from victoria's secret 2011 is curvier compared to the previous 5 years of victoria's secret fashion show.

tiggertail

Every guy likes a different type I guess

I was 133lbs when I met my ex-husband & over the 5 years we were together I went up to 190lbs (I'm 5' 6")....he definately preferred me at my former weight (I was ill) & when we separated he admitted that he preferred me at my skinniest size (without the curves)....(.we didn't separate because of my weight btw, we separated because he was an unpleasant individual as it turns out)

My previous boyfriend loved me when I was fit AND curvy! Each to their own.:ohwell:

I believe its all about symmetry. Sounds weird, but beauty is all mathematics.
Are brains are hardwired to individually calculate what is attractive. Although there is a perfect symmetry (golden ratio), we tend to be attracted to similar qualities that are a reflection of ourselves. In anatomical art, you learn that men's bodies revolve around a v shape and woman's to an s. Whether its broad, thick, thin, elongated, our bodies are a beautiful form. Too bad that people do not look at beauty from an artist's perspective. >.<

i think curvey women are attractive i am 22 years old and since i was 11 i have always had a womenly shape i have never been fat and i have never inspired to be stick thin either, you clothes look total rubbish because you cant feel them out and so on......

alot of women think men want skinny women because everyone on tv is skinny, the true fact is yet discusting all female celebraties aim to make an impression on girls 13 up to mid 20s, its like it compulsary to be nion ready to die from starvation and being over work. the fact is girls its just eye candy who wants to be eye candy? you always going to be compared to next girl that comes out or so on,
the point is our hips breast and bum are what make us women why are we working to lose them to impress a boy?????

when they hit maturaty they want weman they want everything fuller and bigger ad so on.i love my curves and so does my boyfriend.
iam about 5ft 4inhes and i weight 140lb my measurements from my breast down are, 38 inches, 28, 38 on m hips and 45 round my bum. and my partner is 6ft 6 and around 270lb his a body buider.

and he thinks anything skinny is discuting he can say they are pretty for example megan fox, cameron diaz ect, but yet he loves shakira and j-lo he said they are perfect and he wouldnt chnge on curve on me ever.

so i think it proves a real man will always want a real women.

RAFValentina

In my opinion... I wouldn't say they prefer them as a generalisation... And you're most likely to get responses on here in favour of curvier girls because the guys that like leaner girls aren't all going to make a comment for fear of getting a verbal battering. I know just as many guys that like curvier girls than lean girls, and likewise with women. People are attracted to different things. I'd never let a boy/man stop me acheiving the body I want. They have to love me for who I am. Same if I got fat, although if hope they'd kick my *kitten* if I went to either extreme and was going to affect my health.

@juliesummers-You are beautiful and what most women think ALL men will only want. (Except some may want someone out of proportion, lean like you but top heavy like Barbie. We know she would fall over if she was real). Like I said before, even those that profess they love curves, want them in a specific way and not everyone is built to only gain weight in the hips or bust. We should celebrate all bodies and strive for health. You may never be voluptuous and a lot of us will never be as thin and defined like you, and that's where we all work with what we got. The problem is when the media tells everyone that they have to look like you. There are fewer magazines with Queen Latifah than Blake Lively. Celebrate you. I live in L.A. too and I know you are the ideal here, with or without silicone, so of course you shouldn't be hurt at all for the men that profess to love curves. I think men love beauty and feminity and you don't have to be boobalicious for that.

becoming_a_new_me

I'm definitely curvy and have no problem finding guys, but I am losing weight for me. Even at my goal weight though I will still be curvy...I'm just not built to be super thin

I understand that you did not mean to offend anyone with your post, but instead wished to celebrate curves. So please let me take it a step further with the reminder all women are deserving of being celebrated. I have female friends who are extremely slim. They don't have boobs or hips to speak of, and they are just as much of a woman as I am. Women with huge boobs and no butts are real women. Women with no boobs and tiny waists are real women. Women who have had a double mastectomy are real women. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and they're all real women. Men have a variety of physiques and a multitude of opinions on what makes a person attractive. And they're real men too.

I think that guys really like anything with a skirt lol

It's not just the skirt, it's what's in the skirt that counts, and whether or not she has the curves to pull off the skirt.
