Guys like heavier girls?

My husband offers to buy stick girls hamburgers.

My husband has always said that he likes a girl with curves and "junk in the trunk" .... and this is when I much thinner than I am now. He has seen pictures from pre-dating him and he's like ewww.... way too thin.... I was maybe a size 8 or 10. So.... if I can get to 14 I would be thrilled!

WOOO HOOOO my question is.......when can i meet your husband's best friend?

I've heard this a lot myself as well. The guy I'm dating keeps asking me if I'm going to continue losing weight. He likes me the way I am right now. To each his own. Everybody likes what they like right? :drinker:

Well.....I am a female that likes females : ) & I prefer a "thicker" woman.Really skinny with no meat on the bones is not attractive to me..I know you ask what "guys" like but I wanted to chime in....lol hope ya don't mind...

I find this particularly fascinating! Considering women seem to find the model thin women attractive, and here you are totally contradicting that concept - so I wonder what causes the preferential differences (in appearance)? I wonder if it has to do with our perception of purpose? What an absolutely interesting complexity in the human social dynamic!! This could be a dissertation in its own right! LOL... sorry - nerd here. hahahaha! I'm so glad you shared; thank you! :drinker: :happy:

Normally you've got to have a bit of a thick waist to keep your curves. I would love to loose my waist but keep the rest!

I think it's one thing if you are a heavier married girl-of course your husband is attracted to you and possibly your type. But I know that my fluffier single friends have a hard time, especially on dating websites, they actually have categories-thin, average, athletic or "heavy" or some term like that and most of the guys exclude those from their search.
I would think they wouldn't have a hard time, they are beautiful girls and I always thought guys like curves and that women are harder on themselves and each other than men are-but I am not so sure!

I guess I don't have the normal husband lol he like when I'm smaller I'm petite only 5ft and a size 5 or 6 and when I was pregnant would get bigger and he was always supportive of me loosing it lol which I don't mind because I hate being over a certain weight anyway and wouldn't be happy if I was but everyone has their own opinions

I met my husband when I was a size 6. I'm a size 14 now. He tells me he is very much attracted to me and my curves. He has told me that when we started dating he thought I was much too thin and he prefers me now. I think I prefer something in the middle

I also think it has less to do with size and more to do with proportion. Most boys I know like skinny girls but they also like girls with butts and boobs and not a girl that is flat as a board all the way around. So I think it depends on what kind of girls your comparing to what kind of answers your going to get. Personally I know that I have a friend who wears a 0, yes a 0 its rediculous, and has a bubble butt and now has newly obtained 32D's and she most definatly gets more attention from guys than I've ever seen even before she got the boobs she got way more attention than any of my other freinds. So I pretty much go off that and say guys like the tiny girls.

Also in class I've learned that white guys tend to like tiny girls while Hespanic and Black men tend to like their women a little bigger. It's a culture thing I think.

Another interesting thing on this thread is the consistent reference to a 6 being skinny or thin or perhaps not curvy. I know it's a # that a lot of people just throw out there a lot, but really.... a 6 is not skinny. A 6 is rather average, or used to be at least. Or at least not uncurvy, boyish, sickly looking thin. I'm thinking those size 2 gals. Which nearly every model is a 2 or smaller. A 6 is considered heavy in the media world. Look at Jennifer Lopez - known for being curvy and probably thought to be heavier than a lot of other ladies out there - well, she is a size 6. No guy I know thinks celeb 6s are too thin. I don't think people really think size 6 when they think too small (though they may think the #, they are not really thinking the body type. I have always been able to nail a gals size on the dot by looking at her, my hubby, always way off, of course, he doesn't know how women's sizes run, but... just saying, they might THINK that a sz 6 is tiny, but they are really imagining is the body of someone who is a size 2 or size 0 Calista Flockhart type.

I don't think any of these ladies would be labeled too thin / unatractiveliy thin by most men, but all are in the 6 range, (in fact, I have heard some men claim some to be too chunky, I bet they thought they were in the double digit sizes, so what do they really think about real women?)
Jen Lopez, Salma Hayek, Reese Whitherspoon, Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian (claims a 4 not a 6)

Now when you start thinking too small... consider these Size 0's
Twiggy, sometimes Angelina Jolie, Renee Zelwegger (minus Bridget Jones), Lily Cole, Eva Longoria (size 00, smaller than a 0), Victoria Beckham, Nichole Richie (not always as bad anymore), and Scarlet Johansson (though I still think of her as curvy, she has totally slimmed down to nothing)

size 0


size 6


and this site has more comparisons up the size chart. I stole their size 6 photo but did not want to take all the rest...

and some surprising size 6s here. You'd guess larger for most of them.

I agree with you!

I wonder how many men who say they don't like stick girls really think that that 6 is a stick girl though?

Personally, I'd rather be better proportioned at my current size (8) or even a size or two larger than flat on top and chunky on the bottom at a size smaller. W/out some plastic boobs that would never happen on my body type though.

My hubby has always been a chubby chaser - lol. He likes them with curves and has always said that most guys prefer curves cause they are so much more soft to grab and touch as well as looks more feminine. BUT - most guys won't admit it because, especially in the US, the ideal is supposed to be skinny with boobs - ie Playboy girls. And has anyone seen the ad for a show, I think its called "Married to Rock" about rock star wives. I've never watched but there's a promo for it and the woman in the front lieing on her side has huge boobs and is skinny, skinny, skinny. Both my husband and I think she looks sick yet they'll be lots girls and guys out there that say that's what they want to be or have.
