i just realized something! we are not trying to lose are butts and guts for guys at all! we are trying to be smaller for those girls that look at us and think omg she is fat! We want to be accepted by other girls because we want them to envy us instead of judging us! I don't know if this is true for everyone but that seems to be the case. I'm a 34 dd and a size eight paint. I think other girls think size weight is to big for my height of 5ft 1inch but I shouldn't care what other girls think of my jean size. My shoulders and hands and feet are way petite though girls get really jealous of that for some reason. I think as a girl we should do are best to put aside our jealousness and think about what guys think of our curves instead...cause it's almost impossible to get another girls total approval cause there is always that jealous thing going on.... i'm I on track?
I'm not changing my body for anyone but me. I just want to look and feel fitter and healthier personally

... I don't think i have ever met a guy who doesn't like curves... it is def. on the more sensual side. You can still be fit and have curves, there are more than enough exercises which can help you slim down without loosing your natural curve and others to enhance it...0

I have several girl "friends" that absolutely do this. Doesn't matter if guys think they are too skinny, if they could look like a pencil they would be ecstatic! I'm talking about knockout curvy women who are very jealous of much less attractive women's small shape

I love a curvy girl!
Skin and bones?
No thanx!
I feel that 15-20% body fat on a woman is perfection!
Personality is 100% though.
Do you know what 15-20% BF on a woman looks like? I'm not saying it doesn't look good, but it's very lean and athletic.
I was just thinking that too! The lowest BF I would want is 18% and that's the LOWEST. Healthy range for a woman is 18-26% I think or something like that. Measured with calipers at 7 points I am 18%, but that only measures my skinny parts and 1 thigh measurement. I am small frame up top and probably a medium frame hips down. I'm probably more in the 22% range and it's not bad at all. I'm curvy and while I'm not a hard body I'm not soft either. I think I'm a happy medium of toned and curved.0 -
Its all about how YOU feel about yourself. if youre with someone who loves you whole heartedly they arent going to care if you lose the weight to make yourself feel better. and they arent going to care if you pack a little on. it all comes down to how you feel about yourself. ive had guys tell me they love me just the way i am..and they like a thicker woman..but i still dont feel comfortable and id like to tone up. (REAL women have Curves!!) but id just like to make mine a little tighter than flabby :b so no matter what anyone says it all comes down to how you feel about yourself when you look in the mirror.0

I think women are often the ones that are harder on themselves and other women.
Men love all kinds of women. They really do... They don't just like the women in the magazines...some men like women who have curves and meat on them. I mean, who wants to cuddle up with a skeleton?? Not many people....
Sure, some men like thin slender tall women, but a lot more like curves I think.
My fiance often surprises me with the kind of women he likes. He'll point out a woman and ask me if I think she is chubby and most of the time I will say 'Yes' and he'll say "you're crazy!".... It is funny that you mention Christina Ricci....my fiance really liked her too...back when she had some meat on her and she had a rounder face.
We all have different ideas of what is beautiful...and most men aren't as particular as women.0 -
Marilyn's measurements:
Height: 5 feet, 5½ inches 167-8 cm's
Weight: 118-140 pounds 53-63kg
Bust: 35-37 inches
Waist: 22-23 inches
Hips: 35-36 inches
Bra size: 36D
Nuff Said.
Although I find these threads interesting to read, I also find it strange that us women seem to think all men like a certain type. Men are just like us!!!! We are all different, and like different things.
Sometimes I find chubby guys hot, sometimes I find skinnier guys hot!
Wow, I just realized that the only thing smaller on me than Marilyn is my boobs. I'm not big or small, but I always thought I would be smaller than her. I don't even know how a waist that small is possible. If I cut out carbs and ran my *kitten* off I could possibly get mine to 25, but I don't know. My hips are like a 38 and I could possibly get them to 37 MAYBE 36, but it definitely wouldn't be easy. Pretty sure some of my muscle would get in the way, lol. I'm just under 5'4 and I weigh about 135. I've seen some of her movies and I think she looks amazing, but there's some pictures that make her look bigger and she looks good there too. Sorry about the rant, but everyone refers to Marilyn as a plus size and how curvy she is, and I just realized I'm bigger than she was (except for the boobs, which hopefully will come after I have kids. lol) and I'm a size 4.0 -
My hubby definitely prefers curvy and on the softer side. He tells me to get to where I'm happy with what I see but to please not lose down where I don't have any curves. I'm 174 right now at 5 ft 5.5 inches.... and have a goal to get down to 145 and see where I feel best. I'm in a size 10 jeans now.... haven't been in a size 8 since my Freshman year of high school (and I'm 39 now!) It's funny I'm more tone and in better cardio shape of my life... when I was in a size 10 before I was 30 lbs lighter!0

I am dating a guy right now and when things first started progressing I was terrified for several reasons...
1. He's about 5 1/2 years younger than me, I'm 27.
2. He's into bodybuilding and fitness big time.
3. I was the first woman he'd gotten intimate with (talk about pressure!)
I'm close to my goal weight but still have a fair bit of work to do when it comes to toning (my stomach especially), I carry stretch marks from two pregnancies, and a c-section scar.
He has done a great job of making sure I know he finds me attractive as I am. He supports my desire to continue to lose weight and get into shape, because he knows it's important to me and since he's really into fitness he likes the idea that we can do things together from working out to hiking.
I think guys want healthy, curves seem to be a good thing but they are relative to each guy. If you're happy with your body you will have confidence and that is sexy!0 -

I agree 100% It's sad. I'm trying to do this for ME but there is definite mean girl pressure out there. I'm grateful I grew up in a home with brothers who were cool about helping me keep my head was on straight with what a guy likes for vs. what we women think we should be like. If I followed my mom and sisters' leads, I would be a neurotic beanpole. For me, the happy medium is truly in the middle!0 -
I love curvy girls! My wife is very curvy, and it drives me wild. Sure, she is also trying to lose a few pounds, but I in no way would want her curves to disappear, nor will they. She will always have plenty in the hip area, and that is how I like her!0

15-20% body fat on a woman.... is probably not going to be that curvy...depending on height. It'll probably be pretty slim.0 -
my partner prefers me with a bit of weight on me if you look at my profile pic which is the weight i like, compared to my facial features in the widget thing at the bottom which is about a stone and half difference my hubby prefers me like that.. Isnt it about personality too tho, i definately am not shallow enough to get with sum1 for looks alone the first thing that attracts me is eyes:)0

Oh and just read the comment about marilyn monroe, i watched a documentary on her not so long ago and even tho she was very curvy with a fantastic figure she was actually very petite in sizes, especially her waist n not so much in her boobies lol, pictures can be deceptive but they had a few of her dresses that she wore and many people who saw them were suprised by how small she actually was goes to show its not so much about weight but more about how the individual carries it......0

I find a woman who is confident, secure in herself, sexually aware and open more attractive than one who is not.
Curvy or skinny? Meh, not really that important (within reason though. I rarely find women on the opposing ends of the spectrum - anorexic / obese all that attractive if I am being completely honest).0 -

What about confident but obese (but working on it)?

Well obviously there are some truly exceptional women who make me re evaluate my thinking 0 -
I feel so shallow . . . I find curves very, very, sexy. But I think it's just how a lot of us (guys) are and a lot of it has to do with biology and brain sex. Curves mean fertility, etc, which at the end of the day is what drives us all to find a mate if we want kids or not. It's always lurking in the background.
I would say he's with you because of a mix of how you look and who you are. Afterall, I bet he saw you before he talked to you. It doesn't make you any less valuable inside. You're, well, you're just attractive weight loss or no weight loss.
Loose what weight you feel you have to if you like for you, feel good. Please feel good about yourself.
I'm on here becaue I don't think curves are sexy on a guy, namely me. I want more confidence and energy.
Loved this comment also. I've been a little paranoid because I have just a little pooch of a tummy and some definate curves and I thought I needed to lose that, but when the gals at work were talking about it all the guys were like "OMG NO! You are perfect." I was amazed.0 -
I am curveless....but happy with in my own skin.0

I'd say some people look good with an extra 20 pounds and some don't. Hardly anyone is physically attracted to an "apple" even if they have big boobs and skinny legs. Gotta have a waist of some sort! This is also healthier, I might add -- smaller waist and big butt. It's human nature/genetics.
FWIW -- I prefer my husband 10-15 pounds heavier than he likes to be.0 -
Not only do different men like different body shapes, but different men have different ideas of what a certain body shape is. Some men say I am curvy, some say muscular, some say skinny. My husband doesn't think anything over about 7 stone counts as skinny, so he will always see me as curvy/larger, even when I am a US size 2-4 like now. That is larger to him. To another of my friends I apparently look borderline anorexic, because he expects girls to be bigger. He always describes anyone who is a US 6 or less as skeletal. It depends what benchmark of women's figures you grow up with, I think.0

Definately CURVY...0

There are guys out there with all kinds of preferences when it comes to women... Many guys love curves... maybe not the 45 pounds overweight curves ... more the 20 pound ish range? In any case, as long as you like the way you look, men can sense that and are attracted to you. Period. Confidence is the sexiest weight. 0

My fiance LOVES my curves, though he is also very supportive of my efforts to lose weight and get healthy & toned. He doesn't have to worry about me losing the curves just because I lose weight, as I've always had them, even at times when I was a size 6 (I have no desire to ever get smaller than that). He adores me the way I am, and reminds me of it constantly. He also reminds me constantly that he will adore me regardless of my shape. But he does have a favorite saying: "Better thick than sick!"
I'm lucky.0 -
This is a funny topic. I like girls with a little meat... 230lbs in not a "Little" meat.
In this note I have noticed that girls that tend to be with the BIG guys are VERY insecure about themselves.0 -
My boyfriend tells me everyday he loves me the way I am, but I feel like if I sit on him I might break him! lol But that is how I have always been, very body conscience. Once I lose a little and tone up I think I'll be better!0

You too!!0 -
Guys like women who are confident with the body they have and love themselves for who they are.
What kind of sick and twisted person loses weight for a lover? I sure as hell don't. I lose weight for MYSELF, and either he likes it or he doesn't, but I don't give a crap. I want to be healthy because I deserve to be healthy.
There are a lot of nice things I do for the hubs, but this isn't it.
Yes, my hubs does like a little junk in my trunk, but I've already established with him that he's with me in sickness and in health, for better or worse. He's been with me when I was 110lbs, and he's been with me at 165lbs. He's been attracted to me the WHOLE time.0 -
My partner most definitely prefers curvy women - almost a little too much as I know he accepts me and likes me at my current weight (270 lbs) but for myself I need to lose the weight and funnily enough it doesn't feel creepy.
He will even see a picture of Elle McPherson and say she's too skinny.
** His favourite curve on a woman - where her back meets her bottom - I think a lot of men like this and of course a skinny girl doesn't really have it0
