i want to be more like type #1 and #2...because it makes me happy.
me too. I think number 1 is beautiful, but i couldnt get away with it at my age. She looks very young.0 -
12 would be my ideal female body. Also a fan of body styles 11, 13 and 15. I would not rule out a woman based on her body type but using first visual impression these girls would certainly peak my interest first.0
-
my fiance and our room mate both say they like thick girls i'm chubby but i'm nicely shaped, just a little pouch and a little extra around my ribs; they say they need something to hold on to
when i m happy with my body i will still be a thicker girl. i don't want to be too thin i like my curves, i'm a woman after all. 0 -
if you say a woman is thick, i take it it doesnt mean shes stupid in America?0
-
I'm a chick, but if Reddit posts are an indication, men like slender waists (squishy vs toned is a matter of individual taste) and full perky breasts (C-D cup maybe?).
Kind of a bummer if you are naturally small busted at any weight.
not always true... some men are all about the boobs and some men are all about the booty. my fiance could careless if i had an A or a DD, but he loves my back side.0 -

I don't think 'thick' is used to mean 'stupid' in America as commonly as it might be in other English-speaking places, although most people would understand it in that context. In any case, we can always tell by the situation, tone of voice, eyes rolling, etc

In the other photo my ideal is #12 or #13. #12 is the body type I had and that's the one I want back! At this point I would be thrilled with #13.
But speaking from personal experience confidence and intelligence can trump a smokin' hot bod. I have never lacked for male attention even at my heaviest.
I think all of the above are HOT! If Caroline is the average, then I'm into average chicks. I'll take a size 14 over a size 4 anyday.0 -
Not long been up but came across this thread and felt I had to comment to give you an insight into how women feel about their bodies.
Very interesting read and comments from SeanC86 and Cris are very much appreciated with my state of mind at the moment. :-)
To give you an idea I'm 4ft 11in - obviously peitite. I've been told at numerous times that I am attractive. I certainly don't feel it at the mo.
At the moment I would rate myself inbetween 2 & 1. After the birth of my son I used to be probably more like number 14 possibly leaning towards to the 2 slightly. That may be hard to imagine.
In an ideal world I would like to be tied with 5 and probably 2 (maybe even 4 but without the large boobs (i look more like 5 in the cupsize stakes as without my weight problem I'm always a B cup) -
Now bearing in mind I'm trying to rate myself from pictures of women that are taller in stature compared to my 4ft 11in frame. At the end of the day I'd love a slender frame like 5 but know i would no doubt end up on the much higher side of 2 with my frame.
Now some of you on here that know me - have permission to comment differently on my thoughts if you think otherwise. This will only help my state of mind at the moment given that I'm trying to put the weight on.
I look healthier and more vibrant when I have an extra 10-15kg on my frame. That's my goal along with getting my bubbly personality back that I seem to have lost of late.
It's nice to hear that men don't always look at the physical only....personality does count.
Now getting back to the comment about a thread similar to rate men....if there's one out there I'd gladly comment on my preference. :-) my ex was 14-15 stone. Looks are important just the same as personality. Now you'd think I'd go for slim guys given my stature - no. I like a strong arms to make me feel safe when I snuggle up to a guy.0 -
in ref to the above pics, I would almost say thats too skinny. A guy doesn't want a girl with a 6 pack if he is carrying around a case of his own.
I like a little junk in the trunk. besides, its whats between the ears that does it, not what is skin deep.
I get what you're saying and I think you've brought up an interesting point. I guess it all depends on what you are trying to attract. I've got a super-fit husband. Before I loss the weight I was self-conscious because I felt like the chunky wife of hunky man. I now feel like we look more like we belong together... if that makes any sense...
Don't get me wrong, you look amazing. It's just not MY perfect type. I want someone that is fit and toned, with a little bit of padding over those rock hard abs
Hey if I could gain some weight in my bum and and boobs ONLY I'd be all for that... it just doesn't work that way. Just like you can't spot reduce fat stores... ya can't gain them in the desirable spots either... unfortunately... LOL0 -
i think you look awesome Stephanie. I love your muscle definition. You look slim, fit, healthy, toned and strong, and i know its taken a lot of dedication and hard work.0

Awwwwww....
:flowerforyou: you sweet thing you!!! Well, like I said.... would love more bum (not the saggy flat kind... the bubble kind lol) and more boob. I have asked my husband about letting me get a boob job on several occasions. He says "no." He is actually a butt man. I think if bum implants were is easy and common as breast implants he'd go for it... LOL
ETA: ... you are so tiny and adorable btw... 0 -
as long as you and your husband are happy, then thats all that matters.0

I think what men want is as varied as what women want. I pretty much never get chatted up by men these days, despite having (with clothes on) the kind of figure that most people see as good. I know morbidly obese people who get chatted up every time they go out, so I think it depends on the type of man, what they are looking for, and how approachable a woman looks. I give off f-off vibes!0

Looking at that chart, I would guess thick meals big in the *kitten* and thighs, small waist.0 -

I've lived all my 57 years here in the US, and I'm pretty sure I had never heard the term "thick" used colloquially to describe a woman's build until I read this thread. At the same time, it wouldn't be the usual Americanism for "stupid," either. Here, the equivalent would probably be to describe someone as being "dense." I think most of us would understand "thick" as "stupid, especially if the speaker's accent reminded us of the guys on "Top Gear."0 -

All right, this is the second post in this thread so far to feature a picture of naked and semi-naked women. I'm deeply hurt and offended. Deeply, deeply, offended. Ohhh, the pain! Whatever you do, don't ANYBODY do any more of those. Hear me? Absolutely no more gorgeous, naked women's pictures! Absolutely none! Not permitted! Streng verboten!
...
Oh, all right, hurt me some more. I can take it. I guess.
And, among Anna, Tillie, and Caroline, they all look absolutely charming. Apart from the fact that they all appear to be about my daughter's age, that is. Other than that, I'd be enchanted to make the acquaintance of any or all.0 -

I am from the U.S. and I have heard "thick" to describe a woman before... I would associate it with a woman who is a little bit bigger boned. She looks good with a little more meat on her bones. If she was stick thin she would look gaunt and sickly. That is just what comes to mind when I think about it.0 -
in all these pictures featured, even the "larger" ladies, look like they carry their weight well, they look tight, smooth and fine.
when i was larger - but still smaller than a lot of these ladies, i looked lardy, dumpy, pastey, flabby and with cellulite.
I wonder if even some of the pictures are airbrushed, or whether i just have always been seriously unlucky with the way i carry weight.0 -

I think you are built like me. I can't carry extra weight at all. It doesn't go on my bottom or hips, it all goes on round my middle and arms.0 -
I showed hubby "the chart" and he says I'm an 11, though personally I'd like to think I'm in some kind of purgatory between 11 & 5.
His ideal is somewhere between 3 & 4, though 4's rack is a bit riDONKulous. (This makes me even more wary of his input at last week's consult for my augmentation surgery next month. Granted 4's boobs balance out the curvature of her butt in profile, but at any other angle she'd be top-heavy to me. I'd also like to wear a normal-fitted shirt without my boobs causing the illusion of looking fat, just MHO.)
In line with the discrepancy with the male ideal of Anna and the female ideal of Tillie, I find 2 & 5 most attractive. Had they picked 4 better (full C instead of DD+), I'd probably back that too.
I find 14 a piss poor example of "average", her waist-to-hip ratio SUX.0 -
So the stereotype is that guys love the super skinny hollywood/airbrushed models. Is this true?
Nope.jpg0 -
Actually, if I can ransack this thread a bit. I was curious myself after coming across this picture.
I like 4, 8, and 15. I like pudgy the most. Most important for me is the face, the rest of the body, as long as she's not super obese is fine.
12, 13, 17. Dayumn.0 -
I think the key is having a healthy body. Everyone has a "natural" size for themselves. If you have more weight on you than you were designed to cary, it's not going to look good. Personally, I LOVE curves.
From the earlier picture posted, I'd say 8, 3, 5, then 11. But realize, not everyone is going to have the genetic ability to achieve the ideal hourglass figure, or the time and dedication a super-athletic (think, professional athlete) body. And notice, they weren't my #1 choice anyway. I threw out 4 and 10 because I think every guy likes boobs, so we can just assume that one of my selections + curves in the chest area > without.
Ultimately, your personality and face are going to be the most important. Having any of the "healthy" body types will be just fine.0 -

Not sure if it's offensive - at least I don't think it is, but what I found interesting was to find what I see myself as, and what my goal would look like.
My boyfriend said that he thinks 2 and 3 are what the media deems 'beautiful' - and he wishes that women like 8,9, and 11 would replace that. I see myself as a 9, and I want to be a 3 or 5
This has been the most eye-opening thread. Thank you to all the gentleman for their input! I would say the descriptions on this picture seem to be pretty accurate but I am so surprised at the men's input on what they find beautiful. My eyes immediately draw to #2 as the most beautiful body type...which I will never look like, realistically. Immediately I think, that's what every guy wants - it's what is all over our TV and magazines, right? It's so encouraging to hear the responses and #2 was barely even mentioned. Love the fact that the real women types on this picture are getting the attention. 0 -
Ditto!!A big thanks to the original poster for this- its refreshing to hear that guys like girls who do not starve themselves or lose weight in an unhealthy way. Sometimes us normal gals need this reassurance!

I had a boyfriend call me thick once & I took it as an insult for a while until I realized what he meant.
To me it's a weird word to use for that meaning.0
