    I wear my husband's clothes, but wouldn't want him wearing mine. :laugh: Unless it is a Cardinals shirt, but I have started wearing the women's Team gear..............so he won't be wearing any of the new ones I have bought in the last year.

    Because most women are attracted to strong men, not scrawny ones and attraction is something you can't help. This dates back to the caveman days. There is nothing shallow about it.

    Also, some women like to be thrown around, if ya catch my drift. :wink:

    this.

    also i ALWAYS date men bigger than me and i would simply not be attracted to someone smaller than me.

    Could one of you lovely ladies please explain why it is that you feel it would be a deal breaker if he and you were the same size? My inherent opinion is that you (a general you, not specific) are being shallow and won't date someone because of size. But, I realize that it's wrong of me to assume because I don't have all the facts. I would be interested to know what it is, if anyone could explain it :flowerforyou:

    So earlier today when this first started, I googled "sexual dimorphism" because I didn't know what it was. I found the Wikipedia (I know, not the best sorce) entry very interesting:
    It has been proposed that the earliest sexual dimorphism is the size differentiation of sperm and eggs (anisogamy), but the evolutionary significance of sexual dimorphism is more complex than that would suggest.[20] Anisogamy and the usually large number of small male gametes relative to the larger female gametes usually lies in the development of strong sperm competition,[21][22] because small sperm enable organisms to produce a large number of sperm, and make males (or male function of hermaphrodites[23]) more redundant. This intensifies male competition for mates, and promotes the evolution of other sexual dimorphism in many species, especially in vertebrates, including mammals.....

    In many non-monogamous species, the benefit to a male's reproductive fitness of mating with multiple females is large, whereas the benefit to a female's reproductive fitness of mating with multiple males is small or non-existent. In these species, there is a selection pressure for whatever traits enable a male to have more matings. The male may therefore come to have different traits from the female.

    These traits could be ones that allow him to fight off other males for control of territory or a harem, such as large size or weapons;or they could be traits that females, for whatever reason, prefer in mates....



    So basically women prefer larger men because men are redundant. :wink:

    I'm 5'9", 160lbs so this make a difference.

    1.) It used to when I was younger and insecure.

    2.) No, obviously not. My husband and I are pretty much the same size. He's about a half inch taller and varies between 160 and 170lbs. He wears a size 30 pants, I wear a size 8, which I think are pretty much the same.

    3.) It used to make me feel fat and big and unfeminine. Now 'eh, I'm a "big" woman, he's an average size man. I don


    I agree with you't NEED to feel small to feel feminine. I've become much more confident and comfortable with myself. My femininity isn't defined by my size, my muscles or my hair.

    :heart: this post!
    ....d



    Agreed, were about the same size....And same size height....Life is great...
    I used to be closed minded to smaller men...But realized my hubby is as strong as others...Hes a police officer...He can pick me up over his shoulders any time....And I love him........Everyone is entitled to there choice of man or women...But sometimes you miss out on great people by not being open minded...ANd the body changes...So one day that man or women of yours can weigh a whole lot more then you....And not the healthy way....Then what

    Haha very true!


    Interesting fact as well, ladies, did you know that the time during one's menstrual cycle dictates what particular traits you find attractive in a potential mate? Just something I thought I'd share :)

    I guess I don't understand the meaning behind this post.

    I could see if someone posted about weight/size/etc....but fitting into your clothes? Weird.

    came from some guy--MFPer--saying he has a "small frame" and can fit into his wife's clothing.

    My guy weighs less than me, and my clothes would probably fall off of him. It doesn't bother me.. It did a little bit at first, but that had absolutely nothing to do with him. It was more of my insecurities and being unsure of myself and my body.

    This would not be a big deal at all, especially since I'm 5'11" and have a larger frame than most women regardless of my weight. One of my exes was a bit shorter than me and he used to jokingly try on my clothes and it didn't bug me. However, another guy I dated was much taller than me and did the same and ripped my pants open... I wasn't very enthused by that.

    My ex outweighed me by 100 pounds so it was all good.

    My wonderful new husband is far slimmer and my biggest fear was outweighing him. Silly I know. But it was a big deal. But I've not dated a skinny guy in 20 something years, so this is a new thing for me, sort of.

    My Boyfriend and I are similar in height, I'm 5'6 he's 6/6'2 so I am always stealing his trackies, hoodies and even his boxers, of course they all fall off my hips but they are comfortable. Personally I could never date anyone who was smaller than me. I would feel like a whale.

    How is 5'6" and 6'0" -6'2" similar in height exactly?

    There is so much more to a wonderful/lasting/loving marriage/relationship than clothing and weight. My husband and I have been married for almost 28 years and have been "together" for 37 years. Throughout all that time there have been changes. Children, pets, houses, cars, weight and clothing sizes. The thing that does not change at our house is our love and commitment to each other. When we said the "I do's", we meant it and we still do. There will continue to be change, but I want to be a cute little old couple some day who shuffle around Wal Mart together, blocking up the isles with our walkers content with being in each others company.

    Link? I find it hard to believe that overall type or desirable traits would change based on menstrual cycle.

    I can't say my boyfriend has ever actually tried any of my clothes on.. oh other than some track pants after a shower once or twice. But I have hips and he's a narrow little *kitten* so needless to say they fit. I wear his clothes all the time though.
    And no it's not a deal breaker.. I don't see why it would be? I guess I would be concerned that he was trying on my clothes.. I'd love to see him in a tight little dress though, what a man ;) x

    1. My hubby does fit my clothes, and it doesn't bother me.
    2. We're married, so nope, not a deal breaker.
    3. I don't really feel anything about it. I do get annoyed when he wears my black t-shirts under his kevlar vest for work...they get all sweaty and gross and then they sit in his car or at the station until he remembers them -_-

    See above!

    Considering we have similar tastes in clothes, no, not really a problem for me. Could be a problem for him however, since he doesn't mind spending serious money for a great pair of jeans and his Calvin Kleins do look pretty sweet on my tail, or at least better than my Levi's do on his :laugh:
