I like a gal with some meat on her bones. Scrawny women don't realy appeal to me. A tiny bit of tummy isnt such a bad thing either.

Except for shaving the armpits, legs and trimming the hedges, right? The 60's look just doesn't do it for me.

abaya - You're right. I don't condone people being grossly overweight in most situations, because besides being unattractive to the majority (although it seems to be much more acceptable in men than women, sadly) it's an unhealthy way to live life and almost always a result of lifestyle. I don't buy this 'accept yourself' crap when a person's physical condition is a result of sendentary lifestyle and an apathetic view on personal health.

But beyond that, yeah there are people who are naturally thin (such as yourself) and others who are a bit thicker and I think that's as it should be. I'm 6' tall and have never in my life weighed more than 160 lbs. I used to hate being so thin, but I've come to accept it as part of who I am, which is admittedly helped by my grandfather, a man I admire quite a bit, recently revealed to me that he took the job he held for most of his life at GM after being turned down for police service because no matter what he did he couldn't meet the minimum weight requirement of 150 lbs. I've occasionally had girls tell me that I'm not attractive because I'm too thin, but plenty over the years seem to have found me attractive enough.

So yeah, the point is that there are different types out there and there ought to be variety in the world. As long as a person is happy and healthy I don't see a problem with it. I personally as stated prefer a girl with some curves to her, but obviously there are plenty of people who prefer a more slender girl.

Being very thin, as I am, is easier than being obese, but is still more difficult than being normally proportioned. Those who are commenting how good clothes look on thin women obviosly aren't going shopping for them. Supermodels look good in those clothes because they have an entire team of makeup artists and hairstylists making them look good, and fashion designers on site to alter the clothes to best flatter their look.

It doesn't work that way in the real world. I can't just walk into Sears or Robinson's May and find a 0 or 2 that's long enough, even though Misses clothes are supposed to fit women my height, and only really expensive specialty shops carry tall Misses in 0 or 2. I'd kill to have the curves to wear a 6.

I'm healthy. I don't starve myself or even diet; I just eat healthy and exercise to maintain muscle tone and a flat tummy.

I sometimes read "I don't like skinny girls" as meaning "flat chested". I'm not saying that anyone here meant that, but I do sometimes get that vibe.

That said, I like curves, too. I love the way Grace and sweetpea have a trim waist that flows into a nice set of hips and firm, round rear.

On the other hand, I also think Audrey Hepburn and Katie Holmes have lovely figures, thin though they may be.

Really? All natural? So you don't want you girl waxing her body hair, getting a facial, using moisturizer, having her hair styled or highlighted, having her ears pierced, or wearing makeup, nylons, heels, and perfume? I do, or have had done, all that stuff for a nice date, as does Grace, and I think, done tastefully, a lot of artificial stuff enhances rather than detracts from a woman's appeal. Plastic surgery even has it's place, if it's done to correct anomalies rather than create a plastic charicature. I see nothing wrong with, say, a woman getting some ilposuction and a tummy tuck to get back the figure she once had.

The balloon lips and Pamela Anderson type boobs do nothing for me, though.

Please note, I did not take personal offense at any of the "skinny girls do nothing for me" comments here. Everyone has different tastes, and I'm not going to fault anyone here for theirs. The above was just intended to provide a little feedback from the point of view of a skinny girl, since my body type is the one being discussed.

Gilda, do you think of yourslef as skinny or thin? The reason I ask is that you use both when referring to yourself but many people feel that the two words have different connotations.

In my mind, very thin=skinny, and yes I think those both apply to me.

Plug my height and weight into a BMI calculator, it it tells me I'm underweight. Look at this weight chart and plot 5'7" 110. It's well into the blue section. Look at the chart optimized for sex. I'm about 8 stone, or a little less. I'm the ideal weight of a woman 5'1" tall. That makes me feel skinny.

Look at sizing charts for Misses sizes, and I come in at too small for the xtra small sizes. I tried looking for a chart that had my size listed, but couldn't find any online. This one is one of the few that goes down to a 2, and I'm still too small in the bust, waist, and hips. That makes me feel skinny.

I'm thin to very thin. When I want to donate blood last week I was rejected due to my wieght; there's a minimum weight requirement of 110 lbs, and I weighed in at 107. That makes me feel skinny.

Again, no judgements about those who are saying they don't find skinny attractive; taste is taste, and need not be defended. I, myself find curvy more attractive.

I can find any woman attractive for any number of reasons, but overall I find myself looking at a bigger girl.. I'm a good sized fella, and I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I like a meaty girl..

I wouldn't turn down a thin girl just on that basis of course or judge her as "ew..too skinny" though either, it just depends on the girl I think as to whether or not I find her attractive..

And for the record, I think angelina's lips are awesome and those big eyes of hers, but other than that, she's pretty average in my opinion...

You are not alone. There's something wrong about her face that turns me off.
I do agree with her about skinny skeleton women, though.

Actually, the womans personality is what does it for me, I just prefer a nice, meaty female with a big arse and tits. Just right for spanking!

Just gonna give my personal opinion here but petite women are all I can be psychologically attracted to, I love working out, losing body fat gaining muscle, its what I do. Mentally, people who have more then a small amount of body fat bother me, am I shallow? Maybe, but mentally I can't stand the idea of someone I like alot becoming fat, I work my ass off on my body composition and to some extent I expect the same from my other. If a girl is extremely petite, it may mean she just doesn't eat much or it may mean she works out I don't know, but mentally it's just a gamble I'm really not willing to take.

(Btw, I used to be fat also, and it sucks because when your fat, even if you don't realize it you won't get the most out of your life, you avoid situations you normally would get yourself into and stuff like that, or thats how I see it after having lost weight, I'm a totally different person )

i think women who go out of their way to be stick thin so they'll be "attractive" usually aren't attractive. but women who are comfortable with themselves is def hot, and i think curves are great!

I've always found this sort of thing intersting, the whole skinny versus thin debate and what is generally accepted as attractive. While there are a broad range of preferences, it seems to me, and feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but I see it as people tend to seek out others who are similair to their own body condition,.ie...thin finds thin attractive, while heavy/curvy find the like attractive. example, I'm pretty slender... male-6'1"-180 pounds, I dont diet or anything, its just the way I am. I tend to find a HEATLHY slender/thin girl attractive. Just one of my meager observations on society.

blar
