I'm no where close to the image that I would need to be a model. I have stretch marks from childbirth, several small scars from surgeries, and I'm not a perfect hourglass figure. I'm about 140 and 5'5". I see the charts seem to show me that I'm on the upper limit of my weight. I am a C cup BUT I have nursed for 3 years and consquently sagged a good but. I rarely wear makeup - party because I don't have time with my own child and watching other children all the time.
However I feel good with decent energy, I care about my hygene and I eat right MOST of the time. I don't do planned exercise often but I bike ride with with daughter and husband often and am constantly active and playing with my day care kids. When I go out I have no lack of male attention and have no trouble picking up any man.
They way it seems to me, most men seem to be attracted to a reasonably healthy woman who is confident about herself. I have been told that things that attracted men to me was the fact that I gave them good eye contact and wasn't afraid to make the first move or carry on a decent conversation with them. It think when I'm willing to make the effort it makes the "job" easier for them and aren't most men (and women) more willing to do something if it's easier?
Also I could boil it down to animal instincts. When animals mate they frequently chose the healthier larger animals that are going to be more likely to survive for a longer period of time. Human's tend to do the same even they may not realize it. I know as a woman I find men who are more physically able somewhat more attractive. I think that is just simply inherent in us. The man or woman who is willing to consider someone who is less physically fit gets Kudos from me. It takes an open mind and caring heart.
