    An old saying comes to mind: "Sometimes it is better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Put into MFP context, some people would be better off just sticking to the "Bang, Marry or Pass" threads, where it's hard to stick your foot in your mouth and/or spew incorrect information.

    As to the OP - Miss USA is in excellent shape with a healthy, athletic BF% and has obviously worked hard to attain her goals. Whether somebody considers her "skinny" or not is entirely a matter of personal perception.

    The rest of us know some guys like 'em big, some don't. Some like confidence most of all.

    I think there was a typo there and you meant to say, "MOST (99.9%)" like confidence most of all. :wink:

    No No No!!!

    Where do all these guys live who are way more attracted to 300lb 'confident' girls in preference to Miss World look alikes!???

    And how do they make up 99.9% of the population cos, although I know they exist, I've not met one ....not one.......not ever!!

    Many, many, MANY men would agree that a 225 pound woman that's confident and loves herself is much more sexy than a 150 pound woman that thinks she's fat.

    Just saying.

    Guys don't want to deal with our petty insecurities. "Do I look fat in this?" "Do my boobs look too big?" "Do my hips look too wide?" They just don't give a crap about these things.

    Bad analogy.

    Put confident obese woman next to a confident fit woman and reassess.

    Excellent point, and very true. In that case, perhaps not as many men would choose obese, but I'm willing to bet a fair few would.

    I'm sure there would be those who do, but I think the point is that it's not a majority.

    It might be harsh to say it, but it's the truth. That being said, most women, even those who are very overweight, can be quite attractive. We're talking about attractive IN COMPARISON here not overall attractiveness.

    agreed.

    and regarding the "puke puke puke" comment, I don't think you get abs like that from not eating. You get it from fueling killer work outs. I think in terms of healthy role models, this is way better than the waif look.

    I could not agree more. That puke puke puke comment was repulsive.

    Agreeable. And then you have those fabulous guys that just love their lady friend regardless of their body type, and the guys who don't pick a woman based on body type. Those guys are pretty cool, too. Got me one of those. My fiance, if he were to pick a person based solely on their physique, would choose a slender woman with SOME muscle tone. Miss USA would be too muscular for him, though I think she has a beautiful body. I guess, though, that not everything is based on the body. :)

    She looks like a beginning body builder to me. Not the usual Miss USA--who tend to be rail thin with little muscle.

    She's a quant, so only moderately smart.



    (in case anyone is wondering, that means she does math and stuff.)

    And a friend of mine said men prefer women with curves and all men would find her to be " too skinny "
    Anyone who thinks they can speak for all men is an idiot.

    if the majority of men preferred heavier women we'd seem them a lot more in movies, tv, magazines etc..


    its in our DNA to look for healthier mates...thats not to say there are some(minority) that may prefer heavier women for whatever reason.

    Depends on what you mean by heavy. Biology hard wired males to look for 'good breeding' stock with wide 'birthing hips' and fat deposits to ensure healthy well nourished offspring. Not super skinny. That said, women are supposed to be looking for strong, masculine, alpha males and I see a lot of skinny jean wearing pseudo-men....what has happened people!
