Guys-I'm curious...I'm 5 foot 4 and trying to figure out a goal weight that will be healthy, and look good as well. lots of pics here show people that are total muscle, some are overweight, and some are 'average' for lack of better words. So my question is...would you rather have a super skinny girl or a girl with some meat on her bones? What's a good weight to be at and look healthy, yet on the skinny side?

    Like most things in life, the answer falls somewhere in the middle.

    I guess, but I was looking for more set answers.

    "Eye of the beholder." To each his own, and more importantly do YOU like what you see in the mirror. My personal preference is a "fit" woman, not skinny nor chunky. She's still an obvious woman, but has worked hard to become a fit woman at that. Don't worry about muscle, it will take care of itself when you lift and workout and eat clean. Get fit, and your body will fall in line. And after you put in the hard work, YOU will love what you've accomplished...and not really give a damn what the guys think!

    Unfortunately, you won't really get a 'set' answer. Different guys like different things, and they'll never agree.

    Personally, I prefer to be fit, but to keep my curves! I love my big butt - but the tummy fat I can deal without! Like a previous poster said, the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

    I'm not a guy but I love short ribs. You get some bones and a lot of meat

    Well, for most of us guys the answer is "Yes!"
    :)
    I don't really like either extreme, but someone a little closer to the meat side than the bone side is good for me.

    Not all guys will like all body types.


    I think if you want men to like you as a result of weight loss, you should find a weight that you feel happy and comfortable at, because your confidence will end up being what is attractive. That's my opinion, anyway.

    There are going to be dudes who want you no matter what your body looks like. It's better to figure out what you look like, because even if men have "preferences", those are thrown out the window once you're naked.

    I also hear guys love great sex no matter what size. So if you're super confident with yourself and in the sack, they'll soon forget what size you are.

    Why does it matter? If you continue to try and be what men think is ideal, you will never be happy... because every single man I have ever met has a slightly different preference. Look the way you want to look, because that will make you feel confident, and confidence is sexy on every shape and size.

    If I had to choose.. I definitely appreciate a lady with some meat on her.Ya know, if she's got some curves to her. Of course, there's such a thing as TOO much meat.

    I'm not really attracted to boney ladies.

    It's really about you. I'm married and my husband LOVES my thicker body. Me..not so much. And guess what he also LOVES my thinner body. When he met me I was ~45lbs lighter than I am now. The fact is he loves me. I am still taking matters into my own hands to get to a weight that I am comfortable with.
    You should set small goals for yourself and if you get there and still think you want to go further, then set another one. Eventually you'll find what fits for you.

    Not a dude, but some guys will like you one way, some guys will like you another way, but honestly the guy that MATTERS will like you for WHO you are.

    I would prefer someone who is happy and confident with how they look, I find that more attractive than what the specific look is.

    My OH is pretty athletic and definitely more muscular than the average women, and she is happy like that, but if she preferred being thinner and I could see she was comfortable and happy with it, I wouldn't find her any less attractive.

    Echo the "You must do and be what makes you feel good"-sentiment.

    But for me it's curves & shape; size isn't an issue unless it's extremely one way or another.

    ... this guy's 2 cents
