Guys...do you wants bones or meat??

Meat. But not that 65% lean fatty junk, and not the hard tasteless 90% stuff either.

75-80% lean (20-25% bodyfat) is just about right, for my burgers AND my babes. Ohh, yeah.... :smokin:

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Funny how that worked out.

I feel like if a guy has a crush on your personality, he'll be attracted to whatever type of shape your in, because he likes you. If you fit in his 'preferences' its just a bonus.

Could not have said it better myself - I typically find myself attracted to girls who, are fun to be around, like to experience life, and have a great personality. Sometimes they are less than what some people would consider "hot" but when the personality fits it really does make them look like a 10...

Even at some of my higher weights, I still had offers for dates. Now I'm married and a Mom, and have more than half my body weight to lose, and my hubs still says I'm beautiful and loves me, and needs private time :blushing: ... I agree- personality is HUGE!!! but being healthy is SO important - so trying to lose all the weight to be fit and fun with him and our boys. There are guys out there that like ALL different body types- so it doesn't really matter too much if you're not where you want to be yet- you'll meet someone that's right for you.

I had a friend in college who spoke Spanish and used to say this in Spanish: Los huesos son para un perro, la carne es para un hombre

Translated: Bones are for a dog; Meat is for a man.

Disgusting phrase.
Body shaming skinny women is not okay.

This. That's such a stupid phrase.

.....says the skinny woman. I think she meant it as a joke. I hope you did not lose your sense of humor as you were losing weight.

Really?

Really, is she skinny? Looks that way in her photo. Really, did I think she meant it as a joke? Yes. She just forgot her little smiley emoticon. Really, do I hope they did not lose their sense of humor? Absolutely. Not having a sense of humor would be so very sad. Very sad indeed. Really, it would.

So I can say that you being fat made you funnier?

Seriously. IT'S NOT OKAY TO SKINNY BASH. Why can't people see that? We wouldn't say "Fat women are for dogs" would we? So why is okay to say that about skinny women? It hurts their feelings just like it would hurt an overweight woman's feelings.

IT'S NOT OKAY TO SKINNY BASH.

IT'S NOT OKAY TO SKINNY BASH.

IT'S NOT OKAY TO SKINNY BASH.

IT'S NOT OKAY TO SKINNY BASH.

sir mix alot says: 36-24-36 if you're 5'3"

i think it's okay to apply those measurements to a 5'4" frame.

he don't want none unless you got buns, hon.

The next line is the best -

You can do side bends or situps but please don't lose that butt.....

This made me smile and wiggle in my chair. I am trying so hard to keep my curves in my weight loss journey but once your butt is gone it takes lots of time to build it back up which stinks. If I was a dude my vote is for fit and curvy!!

Tell me what kind of personality she has and how adventurous she is between the sheets and then we'll talk.

also, stop confusing fat with curvy.

women here saying "well I like curvy"...curves are your shape not size, nothing to do with how much "meat" you have.

You can be curvy at a size 6 and at a size 18. You can be straight up and down at a size 8 and a size 20.

You can be morbidly obese and not have a single curve.

You can't AIM to be curvy, or say that "real women" are curvy.

WORD. To all of that.

Honestly, every guy likes something different. You should be choosing how you want to look for YOU above anything else.

It's really about how you feel when you look in the mirror. Hopefully you're doing this for yourself.

Things will get more confusing once friends/family notice your results. You'll get the "you're too skinny" comments when you know you have XX lbs more to lose. As you show results you begin to shine an uncomfortable light on the those around you with poor habits. They'll undermine you whenever possible.

Tell me what kind of personality she has and how adventurous she is between the sheets and then we'll talk.

A sassy one:smokin:

PS: I know it might shock some, but bones are always under the meat...it's just a matter of how much you have to chew through to get there.

As an overweight..by too much...woman....I say, "Meat is meat and Fat is fat". I need to get rid of the FAT to get down to the meat. I'm okay with being curvy/meaty....but I'm not okay with being FAT.

And bring the beer of course!

All real men care about is if a woman can make a good sammich.

double this. Body bashing anyone for being smaller or larger is not ok

I'm a girl, but i assume guys want meat - but not fatty meat. Thank god my man is a weirdo who likes fat on his meat!!

"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!

Exactly!!
