In your opinion, what's "too skinny" on a woman? I've heard that men like a thin woman with a little meat, but whats too much and whats too little?

    I think its more about how it's proportioned!! You can be skinny w/ curves as well.

    I think that depends entirely on the man.

    It really depends on the total package.
    I can't think of someone famous that is too thin.
    People like Kim K or Christina Hendrix are famous because they can pull off looking good with weight most women would not look good with.

    Most guys say the "meat on the bones" line because some girls that are very thin tend to be real pains in the a## and the guys don't want to deal with the drama.

    It really does depend on the man. I am not a fan of that extra fat on women. I also don't want them to look anorexic but I like the very athletic look with some muscle but not alot of fat.

    That's hot. Should we take bets on how long before her legs just snap.

    But honestly, why are you trying to get fit and healthy to please men? Not all men are going to find you sexy no matter what you look like. Why don't you just strive for what you think looks sexy? That will make you more confident, and not many can argue the fact that confidence=sexiness.

    That's disgusting. Ribs and hips showing is not at all sexy.

    I think if parts of your body like head, hands, and feet look way too big to be on you, you're too skinny. That photo posted above looks awful.

    I do not like 6 packs on a lady or being able to see your ribs.

    I'd suggest shooting for the lower end on the BMI and body fat chart but NEVER outside the range of healthy.

    I totally agree here. There are guys who really like the waif look and there are guys who only like really heavy women. Come on - seriously - there are guys out there paying a monthly subscription fee to watch a >700 pound woman eat via webcam, as she struggles to get to 1000 pounds. It's all a matter of opinion and goes to both extremes and for both men and women.
    How you feel about how you look is all that matter.

    Too skinny for me would be the "I can see your chest bones sticking out" type look. Like walking dead. That'sjust me. Every man is different. You look good.

    It truly does depend on the guy. Most of my friends prefer a girl who is in shape and takes care of herself. But I would hope ALL guys would agree that the model pictured above is way toooooo skinny.
