Search Results: ideal body type

There are far more plus-size female models than male ones, and society often celebrates body positivity for women while largely ignoring men. There isn’t even a clear “ideal” body type for men — many women criticize men for being too skinny, too fat, too muscular, or not muscular enough. Meanwhile, most men are content as long as a woman isn’t overweight, and some even fetishize fat women. Yet it’s extremely rare to find women who fetishize fat men

Okay... so I was on an online forum, presumably a pretty toxic one, and the topic at hand was whether it was "okay" or not for "fat" women to wear revealing clothing or show skin. And one of the people attached the photo of the woman above, saying something like: "Do you REALLY wanna see elephants like this wearing such skimpy outfits such as this? How can a woman who looks like THAT leave the house dressed like that and feel absolutely no shame?"

And I was just like... WHAT? Is that literally not just an average or normal body type? She definitely isn't super skinny, but she most definitely doesn't look "fat" to me either. She does have somewhat of a belly, but then again, so do a lot of people. I wouldn't even consider it a bad thing, just some extra softness. Her belly definitely doesn't look excessive to me either.

Honestly, I'd refer to her as "curvy." She has big boobs and relatively wide hips, only her waist is a normal size instead of super thin. Which makes sense. Usually curvier women won't be super skinny.

Also... my own body type is quite a bit "fatter" compared to hers, so if she's "fat" what does that make me... lol...

I'll also get this out there, I'm bisexual and her body type is honestly kind of ideal to me. She's in pretty good shape overall, yet looks like someone who can enjoy pasta and beer and just chill. She isn't supermodel attractive or anything, but I like more average looking girls since they're more welcoming and relatable to me. I find the supermodel types too intimidating/unapproachable anyway, lol.
