"Too skinny" implies there's a problem; I don't have a problem with any of these ladies. If they have one themselves, then yes, they're too skinny. If they don't, then no, they aren't.
Ah, I hate that. to answer the question from the explanatory gloss (if a man specifically states that he is turned off by super skinny women, and likes them thicker, then why would he state that a model is really good looking. Specifically, Victoria's Secret Models... how would they not be considered super skinny?) that's a matter of where you draw the line. I equate "super skinny" with "emaciated"{ those who look like they've been starved). None of these model qualify. THIS is "too skinny": www.independent.ie/.../...he-catwalk-31080406.html
Honestly most men aren't attracted to models bodies. They are catered for women's standards of beauty, not men. Since when do you see a man saying ' I want a 6'0 super athletic and skinny woman with a rectangle or V shaped body' ? Most of guys like shorter girls with curves or even short skinny girls. I honestly think models bodies aren't attractive at all. I doubt that many men find them attractive , only women think that.

To answer the original question though VS secret models in my opinion are too skinny. But they have the body type that would look bad with extra weight , so I guess being that skinny suits them.
Well, I posted a similar post with picture poll of a VS model and Iskra Lawrence, and it's close to 50/50. Interestingly enough, more women like the fuller, womanly body, whereas the men were kind of evenly divided.
Maybe thats just the people in this website? I think though it's very obvious that in real life men prefer curvier or more normal weight women. I have never met a guy who actually said he likes stick thin model bodies.
You're right... the results could have been skewed based upon the fact that it's only people who enjoy blogging/chatting on this kind of website. I will say this, and this is what prompted me to post this in the first place. My husband specifically stated, and has always stated, history and all, that he prefers thick, curvier women, yet when I asked him about the VS models on a commercial his words were "really attractive". I stated to him that they are skinny, and his response was that they "are not that skinny". In my opinion, they are polar opposite when compared to a curvy female. So I have no idea what to think, and hence why I posted the question.
I think a lot of men are into the confidence they display in the VS shows? Or maybe the legs? and some of those models have attractive faces but that's as far as It goes. I doubt irl many men would find them attractive though, sure not all men are like this but most men are and it's way different to see someone in motion rather than just in pics and the shows they're on. Yes those models are very skinny I agree with you, I have no clue why a man who says he likes thick women would like a VS models body.
YUP. They're not attractive to me at all. I've never and never will be attracted to 6'0 rectangular bodies/V shape. I like short girls that are about 4'11 or 5'1 and are either skinny or curvy.
I honestly don't think most men could pint out a Victoria's model to be honest I know I can't and if she is indeed to skinny I will say she is not attractive
They are curvy (waist hip ratio and boobs) but not thick. As for attractive, I'm not into girls but they're very pretty.

No. Most are unbelievably hot. ALTHOUGH they aren't generally the hottest models out there. Those would be the "slim and stacked" models of the old "lads mags" or the models for small-back, big cup lingerie. SOOOOOO hot!
@Anon-ymous1 I agree that they are attractive; however, my preference for a woman's body is more hips, ass, boobs... more of a shape I guess you could say. My intentions wasn't to hate on them (GAG changed the wording of my main question when it got popular). I will say this though, if you ever read about their daily diets they truly eat very little, very, very little. One even stated that she gained weight from doing a juicing diet. Just saying, don't be naĂŻve and think that the stupid burger commercials with the model wolfing down the hamburger and fries actually happens more than a couple times a year.
@Anon-ymous1 That's your opinion and that's fine; however, I prefer more of an hourglass figure than banana... side-note though, Adriana Lima has curves and in my opinion stands out from the others because of it! Anyhow, not that there is anything wrong with banana, just saying. They are beautiful... but, I appreciate more hips, small waist, more bum, thicker legs, perhaps larger breast. Examples, Kat Dennings, Katy Perry, Iskra Lawrence, Salma Hayek, etc. VS models, while beautiful, and other than Adriana Lima, just don't have the waist to hip ratio that describes a thick hourglass. Most of the have A/B bra sizes, which is fine, it's proportionate to them, and it sells because it demonstrates how well the bra works. AND the bras do work, having a smaller cup size myself, when in a VS bra I can have cleavage that looks as round as a models ass.
@Anon-ymous1 An hourglass figure is having the almost same exact measurements in the bust as in the hips with the waist taken in 10 or more inches. These girls for the most part would be classified as having the banana-shaped body as they are slender from top to bottom with 9 inches or less in the waist. www.bing.com/.../search Here are some pics... one classic hourglass and the other banana... both are beautiful
@Anon-ymous1 LOL, she does in the lingerie pic because she has a very good BRA... most of the VS models have A/B cup boobs... which there is nothing wrong with having. What you and I see in the pictures, ads, shows, are the models in a padded pushup bra. Hell, VS sells bras that increase boobs by 2 cup sizes. The bikinis that VS sells also includes the padding. They know how to pop their hips out, and in the magazine ads they have even photoshopped to increase the size of the model's hips, deeper cleavage etc. Un-doctored photos in clothing do not lie.
I'm not hating on them... they are beautiful, but aside from Adriana Lima, some of the retired VS models, and maybe one of the others, they all have A/B cup boobs, banana shaped bodies, and rely on padded push-up bras, great angels and photo-shop to achieve the classic hourglass shape.
It definitely can. Still, I'll take slimmer with slightly smaller tits, even though big tits are preferable, over a girl who is bigger. I, like most guys, want a girl who I can carry to bed; give piggyback rides to; pick up and dance around with in the park and kiss. A bigger girl weighs too much to do that, most of the time, even for guys who lift, like me.
@Anon-ymous1 you say that, BUT, those models actually weigh the same as some curvier girls since they are like 5'10" and up. In fact, Salma Hayek actually weighs less... and yeah, yeah, I know bad example because she is old for your generation, but like Katy Perry, she runs about 15 pounds more than the models
Anyhow, this is beating a dead horse. They are all attractive in their own way, everyone has their own preference. You prefer taller/slender females, I prefer shorter curvier females. I'm not really concerned with toting them anywhere lol, I just enjoy looking at them :).
Well, there's really no way to know how old I am just from an anonymous Internet profile... not to mention that girls can be attractive no matter how old they are, depending on circumstances. It's rarer as people age, sure, but it's possible.
There are presenting them as more than that, because it's good for money. Or how do you think a company would survive by presenting their models as display dummies? Pretty bad i guess. Also: it is pretty convenient and easy to display them as more than that, since they ARE more than that. It is not their fault that they are pretty. And while a lot of them might have obscured perceptions on beauty and themselves, on a free market, they can do whatever the heck they want with whatever they have. Or don't have for that matter.
So now, everyone coming in later are answering a question that I didn't even post. My original question, was basically asking if VS models would be considered thick or skinny.

Yes, but would you consider these women to be skinny or thick?
Neither. Were I categorizing them, I'd say "slender", not "skinny".
for me they are sexy as hell but i see your point. other lingerie firms do use bigger models and some smaller models believe it or not
If they were clothed in jeans and a t-shirt you would find them sexier than say a Jennifer Lopez, Scarlett Johansson build?
actually i like really petite girls myself. i was just saying i can see your point

Most of them are thin and athletic. The 5th from the left is super skinny though, just look at her arms.
They're not too skinny, they look amazing to me! Certainly a combination of hard work and great genetics.
They are curvy (waist hip ratio and boobs) but not thick. As for attractive, I'm not into girls but they're very pretty.
No. Most are unbelievably hot. ALTHOUGH they aren't generally the hottest models out there. Those would be the "slim and stacked" models of the old "lads mags" or the models for small-back, big cup lingerie. SOOOOOO hot!
Nope, I work with models and these chicks are fat in comparison.
they are super skinny , i like some muscle on those bones
Uh, no... they're fucking hot.
And Kim Kardashian is an unattractive skank.
Most of them bony.
Like ew you could see their ribs
I agree. I think they look fit, but I certainly wouldn't say they are curvy/thick. You can see their ribs. I appreciate women's bodies myself and prefer thicker women... Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, etc. I think men just like them because they prance around half-naked on the tv, as if they are on their for their personal enjoyment.
Um... they're hot as hell.
@Anon-ymous1 right have fun with an anerouxic
If you think these girls aren't attractive, you're insane. And they aren't anorexic. Whatever, man.

They're definitely "shapely" as is.

All those girls in that pic above have an hourglass figure. Are we looking at the same picture? What are you looking at? I see a lot of hourglass.

Nah. They're hourglass. They're just slimmer and hotter.
Though, Salma Hayek did used to be very, very hot, it's true.

Lol@ "my generation," I don't know what that means. Yeah, VS models are too tall. We all know that.

@Anon-ymous1 your generation...20's, Salma Hayek is older like myself
oh damn, actually she is like 10 years older!!! wow, I didn't realize that.
Well, there's really no way to know how old I am just from an anonymous Internet profile... not to mention that girls can be attractive no matter how old they are, depending on circumstances. It's rarer as people age, sure, but it's possible.
Where are their ass’s at? I need a magnifying glass to find them. They might as well be starving themselves
No, they have a good body figure to present underwear. That what they are there for.
I would agree with you if they were presenting them to genuinely be serving only as models for the lingerie.
There are presenting them as more than that, because it's good for money. Or how do you think a company would survive by presenting their models as display dummies? Pretty bad i guess.

Those girls look like they need to get down to "Greg's" or "The Pound Baker", great range of pies, and all for a quid or less.
Thick & curvy = sexy, Thin & Bony = go eat a nutritious meal then I'll consider dating you.
BECAUSE VICTORIA'S SECRET MODELS AREN'T MODELLING FOR MEN!!!
What a mystery!
They are impressive and they can turn on any guy...
I don't really like that kind of model, I prefer plus size.
Yes, some of them have boobs larger than an A or B cup which makes them look good.
