Guys like heavier girls?

So of all you guys that like curvier girls, who's single and lives in noth Texas? :laugh:

Hm. Actually, you look pretty hot in both photos. But you definitely look super hot now, in my opinion.

I'm sure that "some kid" saying that just totally makes your day

I've experienced a different version of this. As a child, I was very skinny. When I was a pre-teen, I got into martial arts. After a few years of regular workouts, I put on a good bit of muscle. I kept active in MA and a number of other sports (snow boarding, motorcycle racing, rugby, etc - hey, I am an adrenaline junky ok?).

About 5 years ago, when my foray into rugby took off an I made the cut to play for a team who is now ranked 2nd in the country, I took up weight lifting - not to be a better competitor - but to prevent injuries. I am 41 and the numerous broken bones and soft tissue injuries were adding up. Weight lifting and physical therapy kept me in one piece and protected me from injury.

I don't play rugby anymore (lack of time, we had to travel all over the country to compete). But I still work out daily. I am muscular for a woman. Not the pro body builder type... but I am, as my friends at the gym say, "ripped". I have 19% body fat and my definition is good.

I get as many women asking me how they can get a body like mine as women looking at me with an "ew" expression. Especially when I bench press 160lbs. and my muscles are swollen. Some older men have even approached me and asked me if I think I look "feminine" enough.

The fact is, I have been married for 20 years to a very loving, devoted and hot man (who is often my training partner). HE thinks I am hot AND feminine. I've had two children (who are now teenagers) - so nature agrees that I am "feminine" enough.

Besides this, I LOVE watching my body in a mirror when I workout. I love seeing all of the muscles strain and I appreciate struggling through a good, slow lift while holding perfect posture and form. It's a challenge and I am instantly rewarded with a huge endorphin rush after each set.

I believe that I am genetically wired for muscle. Either that, or I am wired to be particularly susceptible to the endorphin high from lifting. Tried for years to get the "runners high". All I ever got was an elongated wish to end the agony.

I love my body. I am past the point of being concerned if anyone else thinks my body is not curvy enough... or not "feminine" enough... or enough of anything. It is more than enough for me. I am in the best shape of my life - I am strong and healthy.

Totally made my day, Thank you

i think there is a difference in how people carry their weight..I wouldn't mind being curvy at all but I hate how my weight is distributed. My bf says he loves my body, but I hate it. I still think that even when i get down to 130 I will be very curvy

I think that a flat stomach is soo hot. So when I get that flat tummy it doesn't matter what the average man thinks. Its what I think. But I know a man like curves, but I would think they like a flat stomach with no fat. lol because thats what I like on my self and the guys.

I work with a guy that says the same thing. I was looking through a runners magazine and said "damn i wish i could look like her" (im a size 12 she was probably like a 6 or 4 or....yeah) and you know what he said?....EW. Ew? What do you mean ew? I asked. He said she was NOT attractive...there wasnt anything too her! Now being healthy..yes a turn on...but being able to be blown away by the wind? No thanks!

I was amazed...there he was this attractive military/cop/jersey guy...and ew. HE SAID EW....YAAAAAY!

I've got a thing for guys in uniform, so this is good news for me. I've been stuck in a size 12 for a long time now. :P

I know my husband thinks I am hottest when I am in my soccer gear with my hair in a pony-tail, so he is all about the athletic, healthy look. He likes curves and butts, but will always go for the healthy looking althletic girl. He is totally behind me losing weight to get back to what I was when we started dating as long as I am muscular (not body builder muscular but lets go for a hike muscular). For him it is all about being able to get out and do things, which super skinny people are stereotypically unable to do. FTR I know he is honest about this one because of who is on his "allowed to cheat on me with" list.

I like men in utility belts, tool belts and not much of anything else ...;)

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.

I agree with this. One of my best friends is a size 3 and gets more attention than any of the rest of my friends and I (ranging from size 7-13 (even with B-cup breasts!). She doesn't have much of a butt either...I think a lot more guys than admit it to their SO like thinner girls.

I whole heartedly agree with the last statement as well - there is a big difference between the cultures. I am a size 13 and curvy with really large breasts. I get a lot more attention from black guys than white guys. My sister is similarly proportioned and has always experienced the same thing.

I have to say, though, most of us must actually think guys do prefer somewhat lighter girls....if we really believed they all liked their women heavy, we wouldn't want to lose weight!

Agreed!

I touched on the culture aspect on the 4th pg. of this thread. It definitely plays a role, I know from lots of experience, going from one extreme to the other and watching the reaction. PRICELESS :laugh:

Yup, I like women. I don't care how small or big. Just who YOU are.

Oh and I mean that, really I do.

Don't be mislead buy those words like curves, heavy and thin. Most guys are attracted to T & A and so-called heavier girls are generally not lacking in both. Take a look at what the standard of beauty was in the 50s and you don':happy: t see skinny women. But society seems to have gone haywire in the 60s with thin modles but men still prefer T & A for sure.

I am very curious about this also,I have always figured Playboy and like magazines would not be such huge sellers IF men did not find them attractive. I also think while everyone has their own preferences men sometimes just tell us what we want to hear so as not to be insensitive and that yes to them there is a difference between the woman who is nice and will stick around and the knock-out in the magazine for some people. I think IF he truly loves YOU,THEN HE LOVES YOUR CURVES !!! ; )
