Does anyone think skinny is attractive?

[Anonymous]

I see on here that most guys like curvy women, someone with a bit of meat on them & nice boobs and butts. What about the skinny girls? It's hurtful when I read things like " no one wants to date a stick" and "they are healthier with some meat" and the fact that people don't believe you can be skinny without an eating disorder. I get teased for my small body frame I have skinny arms, legs ( I can literally wrap my hands around my thighs and my fingers will meet) small boobs, small butt, I don't mind having a flat stomach though so I suppose that's alright. I also have veiny hands & feet (you can see them a lot when it's hot) and get bruises easily from having low body fat ( especially on my legs) I don't know what to do to put weight on in those areas? Do I sound unattractive because of my size?

I can understand exactly where you are coming from,I am also really skinny and I get sick of hearing,oh aren't you a skinny mini and all these names.It gets annoying,it's like,um...do you think I don't look in the mirror and realize how thin I am or something?I've been skinny my whole life and I find it really hard to put on weight.If you can't put on weight then it's not your fault..I know that if you eat lots of carbohydrates it can help put on weight and also if you have a protein shake,but then don't work out after it,it can help put on weight..I tried the protein shake one and I put on a few kilos.So if you wanted too you could try that,but don't change because of what other people think,you're you and if people don't like it,stuff them!

oh well least we don't have to worry about getting fat true haha!

[kkandbb]

Oh trust me there's nothing wrong with being skinny - I certainly was and I didn't have a problem with guys. If you want to gain weight though link I hated the teasing during school, biatches saying that skinny girls weren't womanly and all that crap. Some females would come up to me and ask if I had an eating disorder -- ooh I wanted to go psycho on their butts!

[peace-love-couture]

Yes, some guys do, just like some guys like average girls, some guys like athletic girls, some guys like chubby girls, some guys like fat girls, some guys like tall girls, some guys like short girls, some guys like average height girls. It's just preference.

my first real girlfriend I had was incredibly skinny. I used to give her a little bit of crap about it, but she got SOO angry when I called her anorexic. The truth was I thought it was adorable for how small and fragile she was, although I was a bit worried about her at first, then I realized that's just how her body was physical appearence. She ate just as much as me and she wasn't hungry all the time. Its just natural body figure.

No doubt I loooove small petite girls, but it becomes disgusting when you can see her rib cage. so there is a "sexy" boundary. As long as your happy with your own appearence, chances are there's a guy who will feel the same way.

Doesn't sound unattractive at all! Thin is IN! I'm sure you're fine and plenty of guys find your body type attractive. Have you ever been hit on by a guy? Had a boyfriend? If so, then you KNOW firsthand that guys find you attractive!

Plus, I'm sure you've encountered girls who are jealous of your body!

[Asker]

No I've never had a boyfriend and I'm nearly 21

[BoobMan]

That's cool! That's not terribly uncommon. I know it can be frustrating but try not to let it get you down and just focus on what you can do to fix it. I'm guessing you're on a college campus then, no? So there must be lots of potentially interesting guys around. And you're thin, which WILL help your cause because it's a pretty universally attractive body type. Now, are there any guys that YOU find interesting?

[Asker]

No I don't go to college, I work and I still live at home. I don't really know many guys so I don't have anyone I'm interested in. I don't go out much to meet people because I'm shy and don't have many friends to go out with.

[BoobMan]

Okay. This isn't bad at all! I've got some good news for you: The problem ISN'T that guys don't find you attractive! The problem is that they aren't finding you at all! And that's good news because it's easier to fix. First of all, how big is the city you're living in? Do you have a car? Is there a bigger city within an hour's drive or so?

[Asker]

The city I'm in is small and there are no city's nearby. I live in Perth, Australia. I still don't have my licence, so I don't drive.

[BoobMan]

Perth is a decent size, no? I've never been to Australia, but I've heard of it. Largest city on the west coast, right? So it's not like you live in the outback! This is still good--it means you have access to a fair number of people even without a car. Now, if you grew up there you must have some high school friends who are still around, no? What you need to do, is grab one of you high school friends and start checking out a NEW scene somewhere in the Perth. Get to know a new group.

[Asker]

Yeah Perth is the capital City of WA, but it's only a tiny City compared to the ones over east! WA is really spread out & Perth is quite isolated. I didn't grow up here, I grew up in a small town that's quite far away. So I don't have any high school friends up here. I have been here for 2 years but I haven't made many friends because I'm so shy & don't go to college. I might next year after I've saved some money to pay for it.

[BoobMan]

Okay, so it sounds like we've got enough to go on to come up with some ideas that may work. First, you need to do something that gets you in front of other people who are date-able. Second, because you're shy, it needs to be fairly easy to do and low pressure--like the attention is on something OTHER than meeting people. Third, because you're saving for school, it should be cheap. Here's an idea: see I you can join a youth volunteer group to do some community service with people your age.

[BoobMan]

It'll get you out in front of lots of new people. They'll generally be pretty nice (because the ARE doing volunteer work after all). Some of them will be guys you who you may like and who will want to date you. And others would make good friends you could just have fun with or who could introduce you to other guys. AND, since it's volunteer work it should be pretty cheap and there are all kinds of different things you could do to fit your interest. Maybe?

[zyhector]

There's no shortage of guys who find thin women attractive. There's a difference between someone who is built thin, and one who starves themself.

[Ingway]

unfortunately the irony is true. but that's just me being a jerk.

No, in fact I find petite women the most attractive. I think some men find petite women attractive because males have a primal instinct to protect and defend the female. This seems easier to accomplish with a small girl to most men. Also, it gives the male a sense of power to be able to control the female (in my case show I have all of the power, but also show I wouldn't do anything to her) and know he is the boss. Yes, this seems kind of sexist, but this is the way the male brain is hardwired to work after eons of the same routine. So no, I don't think you should change your appearance, because petite girls (and small breasts) are a big plus so long as she isn't anorexic.
