Am I shallow?

Ok, so I am confused... I like the way voluptuous women look. But I like doing athletic sports and stuff with women that are going to be, obviously, athletic body types.

Therefore, if I pick a woman that is voluptuous, does that make me shallow because I am picking her for her looks when I like to do activities with more athletic women????

Or does that make me NOT shallow, because I am not attracted to the stereotypical stick figure type?

For reference, the body type I am talking about being attracted to is a 11, 12 and 13 on the scale in the pic below.

    I'm going to assume you're mostly kidding about this. But if you're not: it's possible to be attracted to different body types, not just one. This is not the determining factor as to whether you're shallow or not. I'd need more information to give you a legit answer.

    I don't think it is.

    I like looking and flirting with a certain type of guy (tats, piercings, bad boy typically) but if I ever get remarried (doubt it though) or serious again, I'd probably marry someone more conservative.

    I don't think you're shallow. You just know what you like.

    However, I am considered "voluptuous" and I am active. Even when I get to my goal weight, I'll still be curvy. It's just the way my body is. No reason a woman can't be both!

    What would make you shallow is if you depend upon body type only when being attracted to women. They have what is referred to as 'brains' and maybe even some personality too ya know.

    Not shallow, you just know what you want. ;) And I have to agree with Sassy. Women can be active and voluptuous at the same time. ;)

    You're only shallow if you'd tolerate the personality of a wet dishrag or rabid wolverine if she had the right looks.

    Having preferences is normal. Making those preferences a requirement is where things get fuzzy.

    If you're with a woman solely based on her body type, then yes, you're shallow. It's not shallow to be attracted to a certain type, but if you don't care to get to know a woman on a deeper level, that's when you become shallow.

    Voluptuous (or I prefer 'fluffy") woman can be very active. But it's not the package that counts....it's what's in the package.

    No your not shallow. Women can be both, I am and I know there are many others out there that are too.

    ^^ exactly! Women are supposed to have curves. It's good to know they are appreciated too!

    I'm glad that women are "supposed to" have curves. I don't have curves. Guess I'm not what I'm "supposed to" be?

    Women are "supposed to" be built however they're built. Not all women have curves.

    Well said, well said.

    And who says curvy women can't be athletic? What put that idea into your head?!

    Curvy women can be athletic. :)


    And no, that doesn't make you shallow. Never apologizing for liking what you like.


    That is like me saying I'm shallow for liking men that are a bit more "meaty" when I'm pretty slender and athletic looking.
    We don't have to stick to the types we look like!

    bro, i'm 90% sure you pulled that graphic from 4chan. that says way more about you than your taste in women.


    also, curvy girls can and do kick *kitten* and take names in the commission of various acts of a sporting nature. don't judge!

    Serena Williams definitely has an athletic build, put her in a dress and she's curvy. So you can get it all!

    -Oh yeah, and you're not shallow based on this post.

    You're shallow if you fall for a woman who doesn't fit your "type" and then try to change her. Besides, reality says that most guys prefer T&A to flat on both sides. I think the key is in if you treat someone poorly because of their body type.

    Who's to say that voluptuous women don't like sports? :grumble:

    ok then i stand corrected, my bad :) however the part about girls with boobs and butts knowing how to throw footballs still stands, as has been echoed by a couple other ladies in the thread.

    It's okay, I thought the same thing, 4ch is packed with these body type images, I'll bet that's where this one originally came from

    Not shallow, but I have to agree with the others. Just cuz we're voluptuous doesn't mean we're not athletic. I am in better shape now than I've been in my whole life despite the fact that I still have weight to lose. I will NEVER be a stick figure, but I DO plan to keep up the rigorous daily workouts for the rest of my life. You need to look for someone who has both qualities you like IMHO! Good Luck!

    Those women are GORGEOUS real women! Im hoping to rock a 12 someday soon myself ;) No reason any of those ladies cant be just as physically active as a thinner more athletic build lady. They just might need a better sports bra

    what would make you shallow is if you would not dare to be seen with women that you are actually physically attracted too just because they are not the gym typ...are you??? if not then i guess you just want more meet on the bones in the sack and more energy in the gym...nothing wrong with that. :)

    I'm more of the "don't give a **** what most people think of me" attitude, so no, being seen with curvy women definitely doesn't bother me!

    I'm giggling now. Because in reality I think a good portion men prefer the more "curvy women". So aside from the clear health benefits I think perhaps we kill ourselves at the gym and watch every bite of food for eachother! lol

    Putting aside is it shallow or not, i think its nice and reassuring to hear from a guy that he like s a curvy woman and not going for the stick figures that society puts a big emphasis on!!

    You're gonna be attracted to who you're attracted to. You may have a preference but sometimes different women will come along and something about them will just wow you and you won't have a clue as to why. Just roll with it and see what happens.
