Too skinny is way worse than too fat

So.......this is about the guy I had asked to meet for a drink. The pictures I had seen of him made him look quite chunky. No biggie. So when I walked in I almost didn't recognize him he was so skinny. Too skinny. Like disgusting skinny. It totally turned me off. So I'm telling you guys out there that might not be in perfect shape that you are just fine as you are!!!!!

We got along just fine but there was zero attraction on my part. Part of that is that I'm in love with the ex-non-boyfriend boyfriend. But the skinny thing really bugs me. I swear I could have crushed him. Felt like I hugged my 95 year old grandma. I won't even get started on how much he drank.

    I agree. I tend to not be as attracted to slender guys. Now, broad shoulders with a little extra......yummy! :wink:

    I'm normal weight, so I don't think any one has ever thought of me as too skinny.

    I think the majority of men often prefer too skinny women over too fat women.

    Online pictures can be deceiving, which is one of the pitfalls of online dating.

    This wasn't online dating (I gave up on that YEARS ago).....he's a brother of a co-worker. The pics I had seen were from facebook.

    Based on what I have read in other threads, it seems to be the opposite of this.

    Actions speak louder than words. Guys can say what they prefer all day long but look at the crazy skinny *****es with boyfriends vs almost any single girl you know (generalization, but keep in mind statistics not totality of a statement)

    Interesting... I like 'em tall and skinny. I've had a couple boyfriends who were over 6' tall and around 150-160 lbs. To each her own :)

    If that's the basis for reasoning, I see a lot more rail thin guys with big women than I see fat men with any woman.

    Sure, but you probably see more slightly overweight men with beautiful women than you see skinny dudes with beautiful women.

    Who you prefer vs. who you actually end up with up can be different things.

    I've dated really skinny, muscular, and overweight. My guy right now is REALLY skinny. He weighs less than me. I guess I'd like him with a little more meat on his bones, but I like him nonetheless.

    I don't think it's fair for men to say women should look a certain way, so I don't want to do that to men. A lot of guys (including mine) have a really hard time putting on any weight. Just as hard of a time as I have losing it. It's a double standard, and I don't want to be a hypocrite.

    I try to not concern myself too much with what the opposite sex thinks of my body. Operative word here, of course, is "try". I focus more on how I feel about myself when I look in the mirror or hike up a hill.

    I've found that there will always be a group of people who like or dislike whatever body type I have, especially when combined with the personality I radiate. Being too skinny might disqualify me from one chick's fantasy while injecting me directly into another. Same thing with being ripped and opening jars with my abs.

    I think that if he had totally knocked my socks off I wouldn't care that he's too skinny.

    I think men say they would rather have a girl with curves/is bigger but in actually most would rather have a skinnier girl

    ^Exactly! That's much more attractive.

    Most of the men I know like very thin women. There have been some arguments on FB where they have gotten offended that a model who looked anorexic was called that by female friends because they felt like their preference in women was being attacked. I think generally, they like women with curves, but will go for a rake thin woman over one who is overweight, although there are a few exceptions I can think of (again, speaking of MY friends here, not generalizing).

    Every person is different in what they are attracted to. I prefer skinny guys over bigger guys.

    The problem is that no two people see or define skinny or fat the same way.
    Hell I bet 90% of all ladies see themselves as "fat" in some way,so no wonder many think guys like rail thin...they view so many others as such in comparison to themselves.

    To me Twiggy,the Olson twins,Victoria Beckham etc are what I call rail thin and thus undesireable.
