What do guys see in skinny girls?

[Seraellie]

I don't get it? What is there to like? Aren't men hard wired to like big breasts and ass and belly? Why do these teeny tiny little things with B cups, flat tummies and baby asses get so many admirers? I just can't imagine why a healthy, hetero guy would prefer pencil legs over thick juicy thighs? Bones over jiggle? Nothing to squeeze vs everything to squeeze? I think you get the point but I seriously don't get it. Guys, what the hell do you see in skinny girls?

I'm a curvaceous girl and there's nothing skinny about me. I love my body, I think it's so womanly and sexy. But my crush turned me down and just got with some stick figure? I don't even see how he can get turned on by her! Maybe guys see something "sexy" in them that I just can't. Please let me know. It's baffling.

Pretty much all likes in females differ from place to place. Only one thing is ultimatively available everywhere - its a 0,7 to 1 waist-to-hip ratio.

Now if guys prefer more or less mass depends on a lot of factors:

- Culture
- Motherfigure (Oedipus)
- Wealth (its proven that wealthier guys prefer skinnier girls. Note that correlation =/= causation though)
- View on gender roles (more classical gender roles embrace feminine figures more)
- Age (Just think about your 15 years old self and see how many girls like the manly man bearded guy and how many liked the androgynous type. And then compare how it changed with age. More distinctive gender-differences become prefered with more age)

More aspects play a role, but those are from the top of my mind. Personally I go with what my best friends father said: "What am I supposed to do with such a girl? I don't want to break her and don't want to rip myself a bone-splinter." -> I prefer more curves.

[Seraellie]

The last paragraph made me laugh SO hard! 😂😂😂 that's my exact mindset. And I love that you brought up mother figure, I'd totally forgotten that my crush's mom is a skinny woman. It's starting to make sense more and more

[FakeName123]

Also note that you naturally feel some sort of disdain for her because she "took him away from you". Dat "skinny bitch". You get what I mean.

Motherfigure reminds me of a guy I went out a few times with. One time while drunk he hit on a girl who looked 1:1 like his mother. Not gonna lie, was majorily grossed out. Lol

I think what most men seem to most deeply be programmed to like is a nice waist hip ratio. Fat women don't have this, and underweight ones are challenged to. But slim girls with small breasts and thicker curvier girls can actually have very similar waist-hip ratios.

Now -which- thickness of waist hip ratio they like best varies by guy. There're also some demographic factors in terms of how heavy is seen is ideal, and globally even seem to be some income related link to how thin men find most attractive in women.

[Seraellie]

I heard this. I guess me and the other girl have the same waist-hip ratio even though I'm thick and she's skinny. I just thought thickness was more important than that though, thanks

[Opinion Owner]

Some guys like thick, some like thin. Like I said, there are some trends on 'which guys', but you get variance anyway.

Nicely put together thick and thin girls can both have lots of admirers, but not everyone will like either one.

[yunali]

Guys determine what is sexy, you do not. They are the ones who get sexually attracted to us... If you want a guy, deliver what they ask for.

Just like they have to keep their weight down, because I am sure you want a low-body fat, buff, healthy-looking boyfriend, who is also smart, capable, what have you... Females set the standard of sexy and males have to deliver.

Meet the standard man set, or settle for someone who does not have a standard, because like you, nobody wants him. Your second option is to go after chubby chasers. They are much harder to find, but they exist. You choose and good luck. :)

[RJGraveyTrain]

I think you're being a bit biased and you shouldn't put anybody down just because you don't agree that their body is attractive. Everyone has different tastes, though it isn't true that all thin girls with flat tummies have little boobs. I'm thin, I don't have a belly anymore and I still have 34Cs which are plenty enough for most people.

I think thin girls are sexy, thick girls are sexy - and there are men of the same mindset. It's better to just let people like what they like.

[Seraellie]

I think it's really sweet to have that "everyone is sexy" mindset but it's not reality. I just want to know *why* people like why they like. Thank you though

[RJGraveyTrain]

Well I see what you mean, no everyone will think that, but just like how it isn't reality that everyone will see all bodies as beautiful, it isn't reality that all men will think that thick girls like you are ideal.

I wish I could offer more of an explanation about why some men like thinner women, but I honestly think that what you're attracted to is something you as an individual can only understand. Hopefully I still offered some helpful advice though. :P I tried.

[lostgirl_searching]

It's just a preference. Just like how some men likes overweight females ( chubby chasers). It's just something that you have to accept and not worry about because every guy isn't the same. I'm not skinny and plenty of guys flirts with me and ask me out on dates. Majority of them were tall and skinny. Except for my boyfriend he's tall and chubby.

[Seraellie]

Yeah I know we all have different preferences, I guess I just want to understand that particular preference.

I also get a lot of tall thin guys!

[lostgirl_searching]

I guess it's because some wants that " trophy wife " or someone they can show off to ( not all do this though ) and maybe it could be a masculine thing as well.

[teawrecks]

You sound bitter.

Typically I would say that there are guys out there who prefer you over someone else's body type... but with that salty personality, I don't think anyone has the time of day for all that sodium.

[Jager66]

depends what you mean by "stick" and "curvaceous". Also guys are about 50/50 on the big vs. small breasts thing. Yes men like flatter vs bulkier tummies.

As for why this guy chose another woman instead of you, it may well have nothing to do with your looks at all.

[Seraellie]

Curvaceous: Soft, large breasts, some jiggle, good ass, thick thighs, just overall womanly.

Stick: No breasts, no ass, no thighs... 12 year old boy status.

I'd like to think it didn't have to do with looks but I can't help but wonder.

[SavagePatchKids]

I love a woman's personality more than anything, but I agree with you, I don't get why people like skinny ass chicks, it's just not appealing to me, my girlfriend isn't skinny as a twig and Im completely good with it

[Seraellie]

Thank you!!

[SavagePatchKids]

You're welcome

[TadCurious]

Attraction and beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. That's an old saying but it's really true. My own view is that girls can be attractive and sexy in a wide variety of ways, and that's a good thing. So why no doubt you're attractive and sexy that doesn't mean a guy can't find a thinner girl attractive and sexy as well. I like to try to see the attractiveness of girls with a variety of different looks and body types.

[Bananaman177]

Aren't you glad different guys are attracted to different things?

I notice that the vast overwhelming majority of women all agree on what makes a man attractive, whereas you ask five guys, you'll get at least six opinions about what makes a woman more attractive.

Hence why the suicide rate for guys under 5'9'' is five times higher than normal.

[TheCeiling]

whaaa? got a link to prove your claim on suicide rates being that much higher for shorter guy

lol, thanks

Most guys won't openly admit it, but the very skinny, short girls with small breasts seem more like a teen than an adult and they find them very attractive, but they are legal.
The other reason is that some guys like the girl to seem small and weak.

[Seraellie]

This is what I've always thought, they secretly want a really young girl. I can't fathom another reason.

[Opinion Owner]

I admit that I like the skinny, short, petite girls too, and I am attracted to teens. Not when they have their greasy skin and acne, lol, but when they aren't in that stage, I do find them attractive. I also like that they haven't been emotionally damaged yet from getting messed over and cheated on a lot by others yet so they can form a more trusting bond.
I would like to date a young girl if it was legal, and do nothing more than hugs, cuddling, and a kiss, until she is older, but know that she wouldn't be getting emotionally hurt during that time by cheaters/players.
Mentally they aren't as desirable until they are like 20, but emotionally and physically they are.

[Seraellie]

So basically you like them because of their seeming innocence? That makes sense!

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, that's a big part of it. Once people have been messed over too much in life, which I think is most people's life experience as they get older, it becomes more and more difficult to really trust someone and to be confident in your relationship.
Think about it, especially people 30+, do they really trust others as much as they used to when they werw like 14 to 18 (high school age)?
I actually do find them physically attractive and cute too when they are very petite too. It is all part of that innocence perspective I think.

[TheCeiling]

nah fam, i like my girls thick, not just kinda fine, eat her till she cries, call that wine and dine😏

[meatballs21]

I prefer skinny! I just like the way it looks and feels and moves, it's hard to explain. There will be plenty of guys with a preference for your body type, there is no sense in getting angry or bitter about one person not being into you.

[Seraellie]

Is your mother skinny by chance?

[meatballs21]

Nope.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry to say this but your just jealous honey. Calm down not all guys have the same preference. That's fucked up too not all skinny girls can control there metabolism. I'm a skinny girl and it's not my fault I'm skinny I eat a lot and I'm still skinny! Maybe you're just to fat.

[kaylaS91]

... a longer lifespan, for starters.

Prrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaachhhhh so trueeee

[zorro8888]

Lol always fun reading responses to an angry asker :P

[JohnDoe3000]

Different guys, different preferences. Plus actually curvy girls with some meat (some, 50+ extra pounds of it) are very rare, there just are a lot of fat girls who like to say/think they are like that.

[Anonymous]

I would deffo not mind a curvy girl simply for all the reasons you stated lol.. curvy or skinny.. personality is above all.. you are just quoting a stereotype.. that guy, If he rejected you for soley being curvey.. just forget about him.. Thats completely immature..

Morbidly obese.. thats a diffrrent issue..
But skinny girls.. I guess it just makes males feel more dominant and stronger and media portrays skinny girls as the norm for beinf hot and sexy..

[Anonymous]

my girlfriend looks like this you mad OP?

i.dailymail.co.uk/.../...age-m-8_1465126661186.jpg

[Seraellie]

Perfect example! Can you please tell me what about her body turns you on?

[Opinion Owner]

lovely and thin, I feel dominant an masculine during sex, easy to manhandle during sex, cute little ass, minimal fat, perky cute tits, its hot that she looks pre-pubescent

[Seraellie]

So you'd rather have someone easy to manhandle than have a good amount of ass to squeeze onto, a pair of big lovely breasts to gaze at, and a pair of jiggly thighs squeeze the life out of your waist?

Plus shouldn't you feel masculine by fucking a woman who looks like... you know, a woman?

[Opinion Owner]

I prefer those pancake-butts, those dainty little tits, and those toned thighs. As I said the pre-pubescent look is a turn-on

[Seraellie]

WOW. I guess all I can say is "different strokes"

[JulieXO]

Everybody has preferences. You don't have to have jugs hainging by your belly button and a hippos ass to be hot.

[WhereAmI]

Jelly? One size does not fit all. You'll find another guy who's into you so don't worry.

[Seraellie]

Haha I promise I'm not jealous, I'd never want the body of a prepubescent. I have guys who are into me, I just don't get why the skinny girls do too.

[WhereAmI]

Thin with B cups is not unusual. Petite as well.

Different strokes for different folks. Don't over think it.

[BuchitaBuchys]

I wish that were true Lol Im skinny but most guys prefer thick/curvy women.

[Nadzzz]

we are sexy
curvy is beautiful too. i just dont get all this ignorance on shaming skinny girls

[HookedOnSalt]

I absolutely love me a curvy girl but you don't have to shame the thin ones. Could be other reasons he got with her.

[RedThread]

Not everyone views beauty the way you do. That's part of life and we all have to deal with it. We can't be attractive to everyone.

[Cosytoasty]

I see good health personally.

[Cosytoasty]

Just out of curiosity, do you consider this girl skinny without curves?
i.dailymail.co.uk/.../...ge-a-33_1462853628387.jpg

[Seraellie]

Her ass may have shape to it but still doesn't look squeezable. She has no thighs or belly and her boobs look fake. So yes, skinny w/o true curves

[AleDeEurope]

Some of us like to be alive after sex...

[Seraellie]

Haha real men are able to handle the weight of a woman

[AleDeEurope]

Hahaah real women aren't fat hahaha

[Icw5588]

You're joke isn't even funny. The funny part is you probably don't get any women so you are bitter lol
