So? I've always wondered this...and be honest...what body type do you find most attractive on a girl? It's always conflicting for me because I'm 5'8...135 and a more muscular type...BUT my goal is around 110. So obviously I want to be a more thin type.
I'm not getting opinions and losing weight because I want whatever body type will get male attention...but I seriously have always been curious. Do guys like skinny, muscular, or curvy?

    I think you should learn to love the body "type" you are born with. You can be thinner or heavier, but, the basic shape / type is genetic, you should learn to be healthy and just love yourself. There are guys that are attracted to every body-type.

    I like curves, but not fat... if that makes sense. That classic hourglass figure I suppose. Skinny girls make me wanna give them a cookie or something. LOL.

    My husband prefers curvy women (especially on the bottom half) but he also loves a really toned (but feminine) body :love:

    I agree with the other replies. Everyone is different in what they like. My husband loves my small, athletic build. I say "small" because I don't consider myself short... just fun-sized. ;-)

    I personally prefer athletic women with strong legs, thicker developed quads is pretty hot. Professional female dancers (ballerina's, etc) usually have pretty smokin' bods. They're usually muscular and a little curvey.

    I don't like twiggy legs.

    I've always wondered myself......and for the same reason as you, just curious. I could care less whether they like my curves or not. Take 'em or leave 'em.

    At my skinniest, 175, I was dumped because I was too big for him. That's alright, cause if I woulda lost more weight, then he wouldn't have been my type!

    It's really different for every guy. I find a pretty face attractive more than anything, but I'd have to say that somewhere between skinny and muscular is where I'd stand. I don't like someone who is extremely small, or someone who has muscles that I do, just an all around balanced body really. But most of all, a nice personality, because it doesn't matter what someone looks like on the outside, they can be a complete **** which makes them ugly to me =-P

    At 5'8" 140 would be ideal. 110lbs would not be attractive to most guys on someone 5'8", my wife is 120 at 5'4" and a size 4-5. 110 would not be healthy, or attractive at your height (you would have no muscle or curves at that weight). Please re-consider your goals, maybe aim for a lower BF% instead of a low number on the scale.

    I prefer women with some curves but also have an athletic look to them as well.

    My husband says me so i am guessing the curvy type he likes something he can hold onto and have no fear of breaking in half hee hee at least i know my friends are out of the running there . I asked i few of my friends (male) out of five 3 says curves as they are more likely to stay in a relationship with(i think they meant themself) and the other 2 love the whole wafer thin type but they are players and i don't think has ever had a single relationship in there lifes(lasting longer than a week i'm being kind here) so i think it depends on what stage they are at in there lifes on what they want . I know you thought only women could be complicated so wrong. hope this helps.

    There is not "one" size or shape that appeals to me.
    It is the person and the overall picture regarding her personality and looks.

    In general I like a lady to look like a lady not a teenage boy.
    Curves are good,like hips and a nice butt.

    so i know this isn't super scientific, but if you put your stats into this website http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.htm it says that your ideal weight should be 130.

    i also feel the need to point out that you're already at a terrific weight for your height! your BMI is already at the lower end of the "healthy" BMI range, so you should really start focusing on toning up and not so much on losing more weight. 110 pounds for a woman of your height is WAY below what is considered healthy, and guys like girls who are healthy! You're tall - embrace it, you have to remember that height plays a huge factor in your weight!

    YIkes 110 is too small. You will get comments from haters, my cousin who was always 105 to 110 and I who was 130 would walk down the street and manly females would tell her to her face that she needs to eat and a bunch a negative comments. She had health issues to be that size. Is you want to be lean strength train and you will look amazing. but anything under 120 at 5'8 is a little extreme. Plus most men like some cushion.. for the pushin' (omg i cant believe i wrote that lol)

    I've always been a bigger girl, but never had trouble attracting attention. (the GOOD kind). I think it is all about proportion. Same height and same weight can look worlds different on different people. Regardless, how you carry yourself and how you perceive yourself is what translates.

    My own opition is that you should like who you are and not worry what others say each is made in there own image.

    I was 145 at 5'4" when I was in H.S. and loved it. Had the right curves in the right place. I ended up weighing up to 180lbs after my last kid. Now Im down to 138 and when I look at myself in the mirror Im not concerned in loosing more weight just toning my body DH already thinks Im a bit too skinny I think 110 for your height is a little too skinny for you too but that is my opinion.

    I have to agree with an earlier poster ... you're a fairly tall girl ...110 is certainly in the underweight BMI range.

    I see that you've battled an ED, and I know that this can be a huge challenge to see your body the way everyone else sees it. Good luck in your journey -- and definitely never be afraid to ask for help!
