Chubby women - yea or nay?
I'm currently chatting on MSN with some women who, shall we say, have a few extra pounds. I'm not knocking overweight women at all, and I don't all at mean to be offensive here. But it seems over the past few years I've started to like chubby (but not obese) women.
Do many men like chubby women? Or does society say that slim is beautiful (and is it just the media who push that)? |
each person has their own unquie taste in women. i dont particularly find even mildly overweight women attractive to me.
my test is the ribcage test. if you can see her ribcage shes in with a chance. and NO im not into anorexic chicks. |
Wow, what a question.
I have been the chubby girl, and let me tell you, I had no problem getting guys. At all. Most good men seem to realize there is more to a woman than her weight. However, there will always be some men out there who are hopelessly shallow and can't look past that few extra pounds, which is unfortunate. One of the things I truly love about my SO is that he loves me no matter what size I am; chubby or skinny, he doesn't care. And yes, I think the media push the idea of slim being beautiful, and the association of slimness with being healthy and fit, which isn't necessarily true: Well - Weight as Main Measure of Health May Be Misguided - NYTimes.com In the process, they have brainwashed some young men into believing that a woman must look just so, when in fact real women come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, not all of them slender. |
id have to go nay, i prefer my women petite/skinny/small ...not short :D.
|
To clarify, the question is "yea or nay?" not "chubby or skinny?"
So my answer is yea! |
For me chubby generally is a negative point, but quite frankly it's not terribly important in the grand scheme of things.
|
I reckon that as long as a girl takes care of herself, whatever her natural body shape happens to be is okay. Some girls just happen to be curvier than others. Me, I kind of like the curves.
I've dated slender girls, so-called 'chubby' girls, tall girls, short girls. If I've learned anything from it all, it's that there are more important things than a woman's dress size. Nobody would describe Magpie as petite. She has a couple of extra pounds on her. She also happens to be intelligent, funny, mature and artistic. We get along better than I would've thought possible. Which of these things do you think is more important to me? Which would be more important to you? I don't really care about the guys who are so superficial that they require a model perfect woman regardless of her personality. As far as I'm concerned, it means less competition for the ladies who are actually worth having. EDIT - I missed dlish's post, but it's interesting to me. I'm actually the opposite; being able to see a girl's ribcage is a bit of a turn-off for me. I don't think it's particularly healthy to be that thin. |
Distribution is important. I prefer curvy or womanly girls. Visible rib cage is disgusting. Chubby and obese, eh, too unhealthy.
|
As a chubby girl myself I say YEA. More cushion for the pushin!
Chubby for the win. |
...

If I could be as happy as Brosnan is, for sure.

Black girls
White girls Skinny girls Fat girls Tall girls Small girls I'm callin' all girls! Both mandy and I can be classified as chubby. I most definitely prefer full-figured women with curves rather than ones with visible ribcages. I love that there's always some flesh to grab onto when I touch her. And there's nothing like hitting a nice round booty from the back. :thumbsup: |

Martian has the best post on this thread. :thumbsup: Right on, man. |
I do like me a nice healthy girl...
|
Certainly, YEA! I dated a woman who could be classified as "chubby," and she was very beautiful. I find women of many shapes and sizes to be attractive, and it mostly has to do with their attitude. There is a limit on both how skinny or how big a woman is for me to be attractive, however-rib cages are a total turnoff, but if I cannot physically carry a woman (and I'm a large man), I probably wouldn't find her that attractive.
|
I love the look of fat under a woman's skin. It looks soft, curvaceous, touchable, luxurious. It looks right.
|
It all depends. Is she a bitch or not?
I married a "woman with curves". I love all of them. Am I attreacted to some skinny women? Absolutely. But others annoy ther fuck out of me. But if the question is if we're fetishizing chubby, that's not my bag. But then again neither is skinny. |
Funny, I was just thinking about this yesterday, when I heard the term, "muffin top" for the first time.
Some extra weight is definitely one of those traits that will turn my head. |
Its all about the proportion. As long as you hold your weight and are not spilling over, then I can possibly find you attractive.
|
How chubby are we talking about? Because chubby to some is fat to me.
I generally prefer girls on the skinnier side of chubby, but who are still soft to the touch. |
I prefer the girls I date to be a bit chubby, but don't seek them out. I get disgusted when I see obese people, but LOVE a chubby girl who is self confident. Same goes for skinny, if i can see your ribs, yuck! I just think I'll break you in two if we had sex!
My current SO has a bit of extra meat on her and I think she looks fantastic. She exercises regularly and hangs in with my epic bike rides with ease most people to see her would think she sits on her couch and eats, not so. I like my women to look like women, tits and ass baby. The more the better! btw is it wrong that I think that a man who says he only dates skinny chicks but is overweight himself is a asshole, but i am skinny/normal size (well 6ft 185lbs) and I like my women bigger? |
Would you think a skinny guy who only dates chubby chics is an asshole?

There are too many variables I think to nail down each scenario but I was thinking that a guy who wants his girlfriend to be model thin yet he looks like fat bastard is a double standard. This does not take into effect that maybe she likes fat dudes...etc Just in general when people hold others to a set of standards they don't follow themselves. Again everyone can live there life as they see fit, just it irks me a bit. |

I don't date women so I don't have much of an opinion. I have dated men of all different body shapes/types, though, and I must say that I prefer athletic, possibly with a little extra weight on top.
|
Bring 'em on!

I have generally gone for more petite women - both Mrs. Highthief Mark I and Mark II are in the 120 pound range, although both are proportioned quite differently, with Mark I bustier and Mark II sportier. I have a muscular build - some women like it, some don't. So long as there are enough who appreciate that, it's fine. |
Definitely a yea. Until recently I actually preferred them but now I have a preference for women of all sizes equally.
|
It depends on how chubby we are talking about. They don't need to look like a porn star but I don't want them too large.
|
Maybe we should categorize this by BMI or something. It seems people are willing to move into overweight a bit, but within reason. I'd probably stay under a BMI of 27ish, depending greatly on other attributes.
|
maybe you should start a "whats your BMI thread" will
|
|
Problem is BMI is not the only way to look at size. To get and more accurate and healthy idea you should take into account weight, waist measurment, and BMI. A person could have a high BMI and just have more muscle or a low BMI but have very little muscle tone.
According to BMI a "normal range" is 18.5-24.9. To fall just barely inside of this range I would have to weight 168lbs. For my height and bone structure I don't think this will ever happen. I'm aiming for 170-175 but in that range I would still be considered overweight. At least I no longer fall into the "obese" category! |
I married a Chubby one 18 years ago, and I wouldn't think of anything else!!!
Definite YEA!!! |
yea
but not a fat abdomen or too huge butt. it prevents some possibilities. |
I'm lean at 6'0 and 175. Maybe the BMI thing is broken because it says I'm 23.5. Maybe body fat percentage would be a better measurement?
|
I thought we had discuss previously that BMI was an outdated way to tell if your healthy, overweight...etc? Or was that another measurement? I forget either way.
I agree with most of the comments, it is all personal preference when it comes to the opposite sex...or same sex if that is your bag. I've liked girls who are big, small, tall and short, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. |
Everyone's definition of fat and chubby are different. What one man sees as fat, another sees as voluptuous.
How about: Picture 1, girl A, B or C http://tragicallyunhip.files.wordpre...__470x3930.jpg This one's a plus-sized model. Would most consider her fat? (Picture 2) http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/200...03_468x974.jpg I can't believe this one is considered plus-sized ... (Picture 3) http://www.curvystyle.com/Crystal.jpg That's just insane. |
I like pretty much all girls.
Some of the girls I've been craziest for have been tall and slim and built like ballerinas. But most of the girls I've gone for are...shall we say, built like lusty tavern wenches. I am old-fashioned: I like a girl who looks like she could serve me a jug of mead and a haunch of venison, beat off the rowdies with a broadsword, and then go upstairs with me for a wrestling match in the hay. These types of girls, whom I might call "voluptuous," some might call being built on the more generous side of the spectrum. Girls who are a real armful, who look like they need a real hero to pleasure them...yes indeedy, they get my fire lit pretty damn fast! Personally, I wouldn't use the word "chubby" to describe any girl I've been with. But I know others might, and have. |
I'd hit any of those chicks (based on looks of course).
Picture one, the middle (B) and right (C) ones are hott. Model (A) needs a sammich....kidding of course. But yes she does nothing for me. -----Added 26/8/2008 at 02 : 13 : 00----- Quote:
I like curvy as the descriptive word. |

http://tragicallyunhip.files.wordpre...__470x3930.jpg Yes, yes, and yes, physically. C is probably near the cusp, but I could see myself dating someone in that shape. |
Quote:
Personally, I'd have a hard time deciding between B and C for my favorite. Probably B by a tiny margin, but C would be WAY ahead of A in my book. A woman is supposed to have some curves. Obviously, being a healthy weight is important, but I'd rather a girl have 10lbs too many than 10lbs too few. |
If I was single and at a party, I'd walk past A, maybe say "Hi" to B, and offer a drink to C in the hope that she'd talk to me.
I'm 6'2" and overweight; I have never been able to lust after skinny women for fear that I'd break them. |
C is a no-go for me...unless i was seduced, but that different.
but off the bat, its gotta be B then A |
It isn't a case of being shallow; the moment I say "I don't want her because..." etc then I might stop myself and look around.
Personally I date dancers usually, usually contemporary; girls who are thin but not ballet thin, with legs. It just happens because of my social circles; plus I love a girl who can dance contemporary is hot. To me. I was seeing a girl named Mel a month ago and she was kind of chubby but she was a horrible kisser and kind of judgemental so I ended it. That's how I feel about it. |

haha! well if i look at it like that..
if i was going to be seduced id want to be seduced by B, then A, then C C is still a possibility. Ais a probability, B is a definately |
Wow. Interesting responses. A looks downright sick to me, and B is not far behind her... but that's my bias. Is B supposed to be the "ideal" shape that most men think is "perfect?"... (what is that photo, anyway?)
Personally, with ktsp's build being what it is (he's tall and thin), I'm very grateful for the meat and fat on my bones because otherwise, his pelvic bone would drill a hole in my thighs or ass every time I get pounded during sex. Cushion = good. I like having a body that can handle being fucked as hard as he can give it. If that means I'm a C, then bring it on! :suave: |
C is definitely the most attractive, then B, then A. A is still a bit too thin for me though.

some it also depends the guy's build. I liked B a lot. If I had been a very tall well built, I may have liked C more

I think I searched images for "large curvy women" or somesuch and it was amongst the images. Go figure. |
I happen to prefer the woman in the center, physically.
Still, they are clearly all models which might shift around the preferences. The third woman is much more beautiful than many women thinner than she. |
Pic 1: I'd rank them B, A, C but C is still pretty. The better question is how much are they photoshopped?
Pic 2: Too big. Pic 3: She looks fine (photoshop?) but I hate that hair. She's definitely plus sized, how much does the suit control her stomach? |
Quote:
As to the picture, it's B, then A, then C - but that's just personal taste and I wouldn't denigrate the heavier model in any way. |

A few nights ago I got in on the tail end of an old Real Sex episode on HBO. The topic dealt with a home made porn movie competition. From what I saw, many of the women were what our society would call fat. The way they were comfortable with presenting themselves on video, not only in a competition, but on an HBO series that would be seen by millions was the sexiest thing.
I'd rather experience a woman who is comfortable with her sexuality and who she is than something we have been conditioned to think is sexy. |

I prefer women in the middle 2/3 of the bell curve. As for ribs showing, my ribs are visible and I have a beer belly. Granted, women's bodies are different from men's, but neither visible ribs nor a prominent belly are signs that someone's unhealthy.
|
attraction is one thing... who is easy & effective to make them feel good? i have heard that skinny girls are difficult to please and chubby girls are easy to arouse and please. Not my personal opinion or experience thou

I know that this is just opinion but i am curious what you think of C? If you think B looks almost sick which i almost dropped my glass after reading, I am curious. I still go with B and C look normal, and A needs a good meal. (sorry a joke see double standard above). /sorry abaya I reread your comments and now understand what you think of C. I will leave it unedited though. |

Chubby women are awesome! C all the way!

I love women with curves. And if that means chubby, then, yep! I happen to love big boobs, and it's rare to find a very thin, petite woman with huge breasts. It looks unnatural anyway.
Girl C is definitely my type. I wouldn't consider any of those women fat, I would consider them "curvy." |
Quote:
Really, your comment on A is a double standard. Some people are thin - not becuase they have an eating disorder, but because genetically, they are thin. Some people carry extra weight around - again, this may not be because they eat too much and exercise too little (although that is the case for most overweight folks) - but because they have a biological predisposition towards being heavy. B is easily the healthiest looking woman of the three and personally, she is the most attractive body wise. |
Quote:
I would not say that B looks unhealthy--but she is still below average. Maybe that's a good thing. But yes, she does look healthier than A. Quote:

I'll go for nay.
However, I wouldn't like skinny girls either. standard sized girls, maybe a small tummy tops is where it's at! EDIT: just saw that pic. C is chubby? Hell.. C all the way! B too.. They're probably even. A is a no. (although in reality a yes ;) ) I'd say even more than C was still attractive. She's not chubby at all. |
Some women are meant to be thin and some women 'diet' to become thin. And you can usually tell the difference in the face.
|
C to me is the sexiest. One reason why is because she looks the most able to bear my children. ;)

I can't stop looking at that picture of the three women though. The woman on the right is super-duper hot. I can't stop staring! :oogle: |
What's funny is that some people think C is chubby. She's teh hotness. The difference between looking at a Monet or dogs playing poker on velvet.
I dated a very slim girl. She was fine, albeit neurotic. She ate soup with a fork and screwed guys for confidence. I ended up with a "chubby" girl who can lift heavy things and have fun in a box. |

The image originally comes from here.

I'll admit I came back in the thread to check out that pic again. C is fine! :eek:
Porn should have more girls like her in it - most pornstars just look abnormal. |
Quote:
My feeling is that "downright sick" is an (albeit overly emphatic) way of making a statement about the apparent health of the woman, whereas "fat cow" is apparently a judgement call about her personality as well as her size. If someone said "A looks like an anorexic bitch" that would be equivalent to "C looks like a fat cow" and both would be inappropriate in my book. I think "A looks like she's starved herself" would be equivalent to "C looks like she's gorged herself"; and I think that from my perspective, the first girl doesn't appeal to me because I am a hedonist and an Epicurean - I love to eat good food and don't think that the really thin girl would be much fun in that regard. Also, I love the sensual feel of flesh. I love to touch a willing, sensuous and pliable woman, but somehow a really skinny girl gives me the mental image of trying to fuck a xylophone. |
Quote:

This thread is raising all kinds of self esteem for naturally skinny women. If they're reading this, that is.
Eh, I guess we were due for one after the previous thread about fat people. |
I'm not a fan of the "she looks sickly" comments, nor the "she looks like a fat cow" comments. It is interesting to me to read that a good portion of the men on the board prefer larger women. I do wonder, however, if these same men would seek out porn with fuller figured women over the typical skinny-big-boobs women you seen in porn most of the time.
I'm not skinny like girl A in the photo, but I also don't have the boobs of girl B. I don't know where I would fit in the limited spectrum represented there. |
I wonder, too, merlen.
I think most of us have some sort of preference, but as dlish said, he'd probably allow himself to be seduced by one who wasn't his type. Although my guess is that he isn't alone, I challenge you, dlish, to overcome your shallowness. Can you truthfully say you'd screw someone who wasn't your type (again, via seduction), but wouldn't bother to get to know her? Or is it that you wouldn't want to be seen with her? :hmm: Packin' my bags ... |
Porn isn't about forming a sexual relationship, it's simple id gratification.
As one many who can't stand most pornography, I can say that I don't enjoy the appearance of most porn stars. I remember the first time I saw Kobe Tai (I had to have been like 15) and I thought, "It's too bad she got those implants". She was almost certainly more beautiful before augmenting her very lean build with DDs. It creates a common look in pornography/Los Angeles, with a very, very lean build and unnaturally large breasts. Each of the three women in the picture seem to have reasonably well proportioned bodies. |
I had a look for "fuller figured" porn, and by that I mean just normal looking people. However, it just leads down a road to properly fat women(especially searching for curvaceous), not just people like C.
Best compromise is amateur stuff on pornhub. Absolute best is a girlfriend. :) |

jewels, most men think with one thing only..yes thats right..their brains. we dont need emotions, just chemical reactions. we may be a derivative of the homo-erectus, but thats exactly what makes us better off as a human race. we run on visual reactions instead of emotional ones. some may call it testosterone, but at the end of the day we are all but creatures that roam the earth (some more than others), and even though men can be seduced through visual images, women can just as easily be seduced in other ways. do i think its shallow that i used the seduction analogy? not really. it was just a litmus test to gauge the probablility of sleeping with someone and wasnt meant to mean that i would. wanting to and actually doing it are two totally different things. BUT lets say theoretically ok..that i did screw someone that i wasnt atracted to and that i didnt know..would i want to be seen with her?? probably not. especially if its a one night stand. why? cos if i didnt find her attractive in a physical emotional psychological metaphysical whichever-al kinda way, then i wouldnt pursue anything further. so i throw the gauntlet to you jewels.. why do you assume that males are such primitive animals? seduction is a powerful thing and works on both sides, so i'd like you to explain to me how and why you think the female race is superior to males in regards to raw emotion. |

Quote:
That's shallow and thusly primitive. Did I claim that we're superior? Hell, no. I've seduced; I've been seduced. We can be primitive, too. As far as raw emotion... WTF? Did I say that? |

No question, C is the hottie I would take a flying leap at. B is nice, but a little on the slim side. A is skinny, not slender in a good way. She looks like she needs a sandwich. Quote:
Quote:
But all of this is just about general type. If you ask me, do you generally go for curvy or for tomboyish when it comes to girls, I say curvy. But I don't date abstractions, nor fuck 'em neither. I date/fuck people, and what attracts me to a girl is the whole package, not just body shape. A girl can have the most perfect curves in the world, and if she's a bitch, or a snotty whiner, or a fluff-head, it won't make a difference that's she's hot. Likewise, a girl can be a little too small and slender for my usual tastes, but if she's smart, funny, witty, sexy, adventurous, and so forth, she'll look pretty damn good to me. |
Quote:
yes you did understand me correctly. one night stands happen all the time. lets be realistic about it. why is it necesary that you walk down the street with a total stranger? sure you looked after each others needs in a sexual way, but whos to say that you have to share more time with them? bada bing bada boom. not encouraging the idea..just keepin it real pass the toothbrush please |

Quote:
I guess our difference is that although I'm as sexual as you (or any man) and might be prone to seduction at times, I wouldn't enjoy an appendage if I had no interest whatsoever in the carrying party. I'm not necessarily going to have to fall in love, but even the booty call friends should be friends - even if the only relationship is sexual- don't you think? Oh and yes, I'm leaving town. Going to the beach, I think. |

Yeah, I agree. I won't say I don't support women (or men) getting plastic surgery, but I'd prefer it to fix something that was honestly wrong. I've seen women get implants after breast cancer, or people getting reconstructive surgery after an auto accident, and I can't support that enough.

As for the female body type I prefer. I have to say healthy and real. I can be attracted to many different body types. |
B is fine, C is on the chubby side, pic 2 is fat. Pic 3 is similar to C.

I don't fall into this category, but I don't have a moral problem with those who do. I can acknowledge that there are situations in which sex is really just sex. |

But I do also think that some people have different standards (e.g. pure self-centered sexual gratification, nothing else), and yes, they will fuck anything that moves, including someone that will embarrass them the next day. Once again, not my bag, but plenty of people do it on a regular basis. My observation is that it tends to be more men than women (that whole "pity fuck" thing, which I do judge as being despicable), but that's not a scientific study. :) |
