    I'll try and answer the OP. I don't really care for (looks-wise) a woman who is overly thin. I also don't really care for (again, looks-wise) a woman who is extremely obese. For me, as far as looks go, I am attracted to a woman who looks healthy and neither extreme looks healthy to me.

    I've had a "trucker gut" for a number of years and am now trying to lose it. I wouldn't expect a woman to find that attractive at all because it's ugly and unhealthy. I feel the same about women who don't look healthy.

    All of that said, there are many other things that make a woman truly attractive. Personality is the top of the list. The most physically beautiful woman in the world is ugly to me if she has an ugly personality.

    I want a woman with lean toned muscle. I want a woman who understands that weight lifting isn't going to make her bulky.

    “We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and -- in spite of True Romance magazines -- we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”


    basicly find what makes YOU happy,not others.

    As the OP, I guess I should have said I AM MARRIED....I'm not looking for a guy or doing this for a guy. I'm doing it for ME...to feel good about me and be healthier. I was just simply curious what others thought was nicer 'eye candy'. Great responses from everyone though!!

    "Eye of the beholder." To each his own, and more importantly do YOU like what you see in the mirror. My personal preference is a "fit" woman, not skinny nor chunky. She's still an obvious woman, but has worked hard to become a fit woman at that. Don't worry about muscle, it will take care of itself when you lift and workout and eat clean. Get fit, and your body will fall in line. And after you put in the hard work, YOU will love what you've accomplished...and not really give a damn what the guys think!

    Perfect answer! You win!

    I HATE the above saying. It's just ugly.

    Then there's: The closer to the bone, the sweeter the meat. :-P

    *My dad actually told me to say this to anyone who said I was too skinny! I never actually have but sometimes you've gotta fight fire with fire.lol

    I think guys want whatever the hell they can get, to be honest. So... if they come after you, you can bet they like what they see.

    Also, it's a ridiculous question to ask... why even ask them? You know they all want anything they can possibly get anyway. They are going to look at anything remotely attractive that walks by, even if they don't plan on going after it.

    It's like hanging 25 different steaks up on a line and asking them... which one? They want all of them.

    Would you love this if you were a naturally thin woman? My guess is no.

    There's men who love really skinny women to obese women... so it just depends on the guy!

    I'm Hispanic and my frame is just thick. Chest, rear, and legs are bigger. I joined MFP to lose weight & be fit BUT I love my curves & I know I will always have them.
    I just want my arms, tummy, and legs firm, in shape.
    My husband tells me all the time I better not get "too skinny" lol
    Just like me.. I like his big shoulders & Arms... I don't like skinny men but everyone has different preferences & it's important to be with someone who will love you no matter what!!!! Love is beyond physical attraction.:love:

    WHY SOOO SERIOUS?!!! lol I like it too but I can also see how it can be considered rude.
    Skinny Girls are worshipped in the entertainment world… it’s ok if girls with “meat” have a couple playful quotes right?!!
    You’re beautiful too! Hey you even got Brad Pitt on your team ; )

    I'm sure they didn't mean it with disrespect. We just live in a society where Skinny is Idolized. & there's tons of pressure on little girls, women. etc.
    I know ALL WOMEN OF ALL SHAPES are always a little insecure & so critical of their bodies. We are our own worst critics!

    Like I said in my post there's so many men out there with all different preferences. Some love skinny, some love bigger.
    Whatever!!!! It's just important to find someone who will LOVE YOU BEYOND YOUR PHYSICAL BEAUTY!!!!

    So, because "skinny girls are worshipped in the entertainment world", it's okay to make fun of them? What about Adele? She's pretty worshipped, so I can call her fat and all that and it's okay, because she's famous. That's bullsh*t.

    To say it wasn't meant with disrespect is a cop out. It was obviously an outright disrespectful quote. Just because skinny is idolized does not mean only the fat girls have the pressure on their shoulders. Get real.

    I like some meat on a gal. There are some girls that are naturally super thin & so be it. However, if a girl that normally would have some curves goes super skinny...no thanks.

    Women come in all shapes and sizes and the level of "meat" that looks best on each particular woman varies. The bones are for dogs comment sucks. Some women (including me) are thin and it works for us. I can't carry a bunch of fat around because it all piles up on my stomach. Doesn't make me any less of a woman.

    I don't know why overweight women think they can blatantly slam thin women and not even think twice about it. If I said something outright insulting like that to an overweight person, I would feel like a piece of crap.

    So why is it OK for people to say nasty things about skinny women, then? If they're already beating themselves up enough, why add your voice to it?

    I had a friend in high school who, at 5'7", weighed 99 pounds. And no matter what she did, she COULD NOT gain weight. She wanted at least to weigh 100 pounds and she ate and ate and lifted weights and did all the right things, but her metabolism just kept her at 99. And I know a lot of women like that. So just because the entertainment industry casts skinny women in movies, it's OK for the rest of us to say nasty, rude things?

    And what does that say about the men who love them? They aren't real men? They're somehow not good people because they fell in love with women who are "bones"?

    It's rude.
