Guys who find curvy girls more attractive...

My husband likes a curvy girl (around 140-160). I told him my goal weight, and his jaw dropped, but it was better when I told him the boobs were genetic and not going anywhere.

Seriously, my sister lost 100 pounds, was a size 4 pants, and had FF boobs. Mine are down from an LL to an HH. I think more than DD is too much though. I just love fighting nature!

Yeah my girlfriend's mom and grandma were against the idea of her weightlifting and losing too much fat for fear of her losing her boobs and suddenly defying the laws of physics and biology and looking like a man.

i assumed guys always wanted the skinnier girl. but there are many guys out there who want the curves and the rolls.

in roman times the chubby look was actually what all the girls wanted to achieve and that was a thing of beauty. so i guess it's not so surprising that many still feel the same way.

That's awesome, chubby girls can be very attractive too.

Me personally I like women with curves. You don't have to be big to have curves, but I don't want a woman that is really skinny

HA HA HA HA HA!
Literally made me laugh out loud!

Nice thread! I am still coming to terms with my curves, and trying to decide what my end goal should even be. I have to say though, it is nice to see some support for my fellow curvy ladies. That being said, ladies, no matter what your shape, and size, there are plenty of guys or gals out there that find you attractive. There is no one generalized answer to what guys find "more attractive". Everybody is different. :flowerforyou:

My husband and I were friends when I was skinny and dated when I was heavier. He married me at my heaviest then, and still loved me when I gained weight after having our baby. The only reason he would want me to lose weight is so that I am healthy and happy with myself. He supports me no matter what.

I've also dated guys who have said they prefer chubby women. And I've had friends who were tiny and their guys tell them they are too big or that they don't want them to ever gain weight.

It all depends on the person.

I am getting my healthy sexy shape back want to keep my butt and thighs but curvy is in but healthy

Awesome response!!

I feel so shallow . . . I find curves very, very, sexy. But I think it's just how a lot of us (guys) are and a lot of it has to do with biology and brain sex. Curves mean fertility, etc, which at the end of the day is what drives us all to find a mate if we want kids or not. It's always lurking in the background.

I would say he's with you because of a mix of how you look and who you are. Afterall, I bet he saw you before he talked to you. It doesn't make you any less valuable inside. You're, well, you're just attractive weight loss or no weight loss.

Loose what weight you feel you have to if you like for you, feel good. Please feel good about yourself.
I'm on here becaue I don't think curves are sexy on a guy, namely me. I want more confidence and energy.

I think guys like a lot of different types, same as women do, though I think the highest number (as posts on here support) like a curvy but ...in the normal or just a little overweight... range. However quite a few out there actively do like larger women. I've always tended to think that only larger guys are more likely to like larger women than average weight or slender guys..yet Ive realized that is not always the case either. I can think of at least 3 friends that are in the plus sized range (probably low to mid 200s) with normal/thin husbands who adore them (and met them when they were heavy).

I think if I had a "type" in men it would be somewhat big/overweight, but muscular. and somewhat active. It varies a lot but I am rarely attracted to very small slim guys, probably mostly because I feel so awkward. However personality and brains and common interests (a hard thing for me to find due to having some offbeat ones) are much more important.

My last boyfriend was super tall, but quite slim and ectomorph-ish. At most he could have spared 10 or 15lbs. When he lost 25 (due to illness) he looked emaciated and ill. He was very attracted to me, and judging from pics of his exes, his general preference seemed to be short geeky plus-size girls with curves, it wasn't just me. He never made any big deal of that preference but it seemed pretty apparent from his choices. He often referred to himself as a "big guy" and I doubt he had any idea that I actually outweighed him.

Curves are what's all about. A girl without curves is just a man.

wow... really? tell me how..

When you lose your boobs you grow a penis......

Oh no! My boobs are slipping away by the minute! LOL!

I like women with natural curves, not fat rolls.

I like women to be soft and have curves. An average sized to slightly large (C or D cup) bust size and a big butt. Big guts are not a turn on, I prefer a flatter stomach with some extra padding, but no large bellies. I also like thicker thighs on a woman.

That being said I can appreciate most female forms, except super skinny anorexic types, it goes beyond not attractive to downright repulsive.

I guess some might call me picky, but I also do not like at all:

No calves on a woman (if all I see is leg bone...yuck)
Flat butts
6 pack abs
Vascularity from being very skinny
Too much visible muscle (nothing wrong with being strong, I just don't like that look)

Couldn't agree more. I LOVE a woman with curves. Can't stand stick-figures or body-builder types...makes me wanna scream "eat a cheeseburger!"

No thank you...my girl is the perfect example of what I like in a woman...size 8-10, a little busty, great hips and a booty to grab onto!

Here is a PG-13 -ish link with an example of my ah-ha moment regarding my weight, my college obsession with supermodels, my lifelong desire to be skinny... in one of the photos, the two (nude) females stand in close proximity (the photo is over the top un-necessary in the way they are posed, by my standards, but I'm not choosing to think of it the way I think it's meant, if you look you will know what I mean. Believe me it's nude women in a suggestive pose and if you get offended by stuff like that don't click!

My point is, I never before saw the contrast between a size 0 person and a size regular-female shape. The "plus size model" is what I consider to be a regular, normal, attractive body shape, and then there's the opposite extreme, the chicken bones stick twig figure commonly looked upon as the desirable haute couture model, mainly I guess because she is shaped like a clothes hanger, her body doesn't bulge out enough to influence the lines of the clothing or change the way the cut drapes?

It really hit home for me that wow, what "they" consider plus sized (in contrast to the size 0 girl which may be some people's goal unless they realize what that looks like!) is a way more attractive body type. Maybe that's just me. The magazine has lots of comments regarding encouraging plus sized people to stay an unhealthy weight etc. but geez, a person has to wear clothes and I don't see anything extrinsically motivating me to be anything, really. I'm intrinsically motivated to get healthy, for myself.

Plus size model magazine huh? I think more like Perfect Size Model Magazine based on those pictures.

They look overweight to me.

I don't think it has anything to do with weight. Im sure Serena Williams by weight is considered "heavier" than average women, but by no means is she big. She has curves, muscle tone (too much for some men) and her own sex appeal. It comes down to curves for me....not so much the weight. But I will say that as I've gotten older and more fit, my eye has wandered less toward "thicker" women. And when I mean "thicker", Im more talking size 10 or better.

Personal preference, but once again, if you're curvy, toned and fit, you're pretty much the preference of most men.
