It’s important. Everyone’s body has kind of a target weight that it is most comfortable being, we all come in diff shapes and sizes.
That said, what looks good on one women weight and fat ratio wise may not work at all on another.
My frame is tiny and my body honestly does have a target weight that it is most happy at. Calorie and exercise wise, it will try and stay close to that weight if I over indulge for a while.
It will also only drop so far below that weight before it starts to fight back.
I kind of felt unfulfilled in a job years back that was a great place to work, pay and what not but I had to spend the day looking busy. I didn’t have enough to do, I was not alone in the struggle but it was new to me.
It drained me to have to sit and count down the last hour or so of the day. When I got home didn’t want to workout or even be social. I gained 15 pounds in 9 months.
Switched companies and lost it all in 4
months. My body didn’t like that weight. Usually it takes much longer to lose than gain.
I don’t think being “thin” like thinnest of thin is key. But you should aspire to whatever thin looks like for you with exercise and healthy complete blood work up.
There’s a point for all of us where thin is no longer sexy. Think of ladies in their 50’s on the beach with fake and bake subbed tans, skinny as all get out but it isn’t healthy and doesn’t look good.
I prefer muscle tone on myself with at least a little fat on my hip bones.
Everyone has different ideals for what they wants/desire in a partner. For example (and this is a different perspective) I like thinner/leaner guys, usually with little to no muscle. Now, keep in mind, body really isn’t that important to me, but I find myself attracted to guys with that figure. I don’t really understand it, but that’s just the way it is. Do I appreciate muscle? Yeah. Do I despise guys with body fat or “dad bods” as the saying goes? Of course not. Personality really takes the cake, not just if they’re a good person or whatnot, but things like their sense of humor, intelligence, confidence... stuff like that, for me, plays the biggest impact.
It’s not only important for being attractive, but being healthy and having a longer life period.
I have met active women who diet well and workout consistently and still have some extra girth thanks to genetics. But there is something about how they hold themselves that still makes them attractive.
Then I’ve see plenty of women who comfort eat (or closet eat) and really are just too lazy to do what it takes to be fit. They rather complain about it and get superficial verbal affirmation “oh you are just fine with who are” and blame men in general for their romance challenges. Our “fat acceptance” movement isn’t helping either.
I was a fat kid in elementary and middle school and I was bullied for it (along with being too sensitive). As horrible as that was it gave me anger and motivation to turn to sports. I was on varsity cross country, track and wrestling in HS. I was very lean and athletic. I continued to be that way through college and all my 20s. I’m in my mid 30s now and I still workout everyday and I’m in good shape.
Point being is sometimes the hard truth and negative reinforcement is what these “bbw” need to hear to get their ass in gear.
Entirely depends what you mean by skinny. I think it's the law of diminishing returns. If you aren't obese you are far more attractive, if you aren't quite overweight you are fairly more attractive, if you aren't overweight you are a little more attractive, and from there it's just an individual preference, some guys even prefer girls slightly overweight (curvy). All these terms I mean in terms of BMI. And there are some guys who don't care at all, these aren't my personal opinions just how I think it's judged socially.

Actually, girls shouldn't worry too much about being too "fat" for attractiveness. This world is not filled with guys who only like slim or thin girls. There are a range of guys who like all different shapes and sizes. So girls should learn that they don't have to worry about this factor in their self-esteem.
If they really want to worry about it, then it should be more regarding health than looks.
Take note that some guys also don't mind the looks and have other priorities like personality or lifestyle. It's just a matter of hunting around and you will find the correct partner. I personally prefer girls with more meat on them but my priorities are the personality.
I think women can be chubbier than men, but obese, like the woman in the picture, isn't attractive. The "thin" version looks too thin. Neither of those women are FIT. Thick is one thing: this usually means a person is heavier than average, but also muscular, male or female. And that can be attractive for either sex. But sloppy fat and gigantic, skin sagging, belly flaps, is as aesthetically displeasing as is it a sign of health problems, physical and medical. Knees aren't made to carry around 300 lbs on a 5'3' frame... Even a male at 6'3', even a bodybuilder is overWEIGHT. He might not be overFAT... but you're stressing your body...
Being thin isn't a necessity to be attractive because it's a matter of preference and some like thin while others don't. What's necessary though, is to be healthy and fit. Because even if the rest of the world makes unhealthy habits or unhealthy weight (overweight or underweight) a trend it's necessary to be healthy for YOURSELF. For medical causes even if not for aesthetics. In case of looks you could be 300 pounds and still find someone who thinks that it is hot. But majority of the people in this world appreciate a body that shows health, fertility and vibrancy.
G@G being shady again lol
It's not that important, everyone has a style they can use that will make them more attractive, regardless of size.
Obviously it's harder to be attractive to the majority of people if you're obese.
Just as an aside, I hate that photoshopped picture.
It was a part of a set of images where some guy wanted to shame plus size women.
If that guy knew anything about weight distribution on females he would know that breasts are one of the main places to get affected by weight loss.
But no, let's literally fake the proportions of women to make them look sexier than they would, to make women feel bad about being bigger.
Every women he photoshopped, he kept their breast size as close to the original, which makes that person an asshole that didn't actually want to help, he just didn't want fat women walking around.
Vital.
Being "thin" (I prefer athletic, but being "in shape", let's say) shows that the person is able to take care of themselves - and willing.
I hate skin-and-bones or skinnyfat as much as I hate obese. Both signify a lack of commitment and ability to take care of oneself.
I say this as someone working on her own body, though.
I'm lucky to have found someone who can see past my dysmorphia and is supportive of my rather unconventional approach to weight loss (fasting, heavy lifting, and copious sex).
Just depends on the person , their is someone for everyone , what matters most is you're happy , dont let social media brain wash you to believe the only way you will be attractive is if you are thin and fit , That's the problem with this world , people tend to get brainwashed on what they see advertised to them , not realizing it is all sales pitches to make money , Most the fit people you see on social media or on tv are enhanced to look better then What they are , with the computer graphics and technolgy today they can make someone seem like they have the perfect body , in most cases it's a load of shit , So what matters most is if you are happy with yourself, Your happiness and confidence is what attracts people , just be you, if you have to change your appearance for someone to like u then u should really reconsider being with that person , they apparently are lost as well if they are only seeking people for what they look like.
I would say FIT not thin because thin could also be underweight/frail.
For physical attraction like 90% of dudes don’t want a whale. And the ones who do are hoping your self-esteem is so low that you will never leave them in my opinion.
There’s some guys who secretly have sex with huge girls but would never be seen in public with her.
There’s borderline cases where a woman is a little overweight but has nice proportions. In those cases some guys like what they see but would still not get into a serious relationship. Then there are guys into that. I think the numbers are dropping tho as guys raise standards... since women have dropped their own standards for how they look so much
I honestly think a lot of guys do think bigger girls are sexually attractive. A lot of it is just social pressure. Being a slightly but confident overweight lady myself, I constantly get hit up for sex. And I can tell you, they enjoy the sex. Most of them pound away on me like they're in a porn movie. But I do notice that they have a lot less respect for me, ignore me after their balls are emptied, and I shouldn't hope fore any sort of relationship with them. I'm not the girl they like to show off as their girlfriend.
Usually not that much, but I'd say that being thin and taking care of yourself are not mutually exclusive, you dont have to be skinny, but being very overweight does play a big part in making someone "less attractive". Nothing wrong with being a bit chubby tho
Part of being attractive for me is to be healthy. I am attracted to healthy people because they will not be as often sick as a fat person. They will have good health genes to pas on to their kids. They will not make their kids fat. They are for the most part not lazy and we can go hiking in nature. In my mind it's not that a fat person is ugly, some are in fact beautiful, but I my mind I find them to be sick and diseased. I know it's slightly ignorant and not rasjonal, but that's just how my mind works somehow.
Being obese looks gross. People who let themselves get to that stage obviously have underlying issues that they need help with. It's so unhealthy and unattractive
I know a woman who has a pretty face, but she was overweight, and after she lost all the weight and toned up, she looked Iooked beautiful. So weight can affect how attractive a person looks
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so that's going to vary wildly from person to person. However, in a committed relationship, attraction is very important for people who enjoy sex. It's a bad idea to date someone who isn't your type, because you'll still desire to be with a different looking person.
Honestly it is not. It is all about waist to hip ratio. It should be 0.7. If your ratio is like that does not matter how thin or fat you are. You will be attractive. Being thin should be important for a different reason, being health. Obesity us a very dangerous thing.
For me personally, it's very important! At least if we're talking about physical attraction. I never seek relationships with people who are overweight/obese because I'm not sexually attracted to that.
But it doesn't affect my attraction to their personality. If they have a dope ass personality, no amount of fat could change that!
Sexy people are athletic. They have healthy bodies that can play sports and fuck hard without passing out or having a heart attack. You dont have to be sexy or even healthy to be attractive, some people are attractive purely by their personalities, but thats really rare.
For me, very important.
I would not date someone who isn't thin enough, and by thin enough, I mean BMI of 21.5 and below.
Facial appearance and other features are very much secondary to weight, and do not really affect someone's degree of dateability, as far as appearance goes (or at least I have never met anyone so unattractive facially, that I wouldn't date them).
It is very important. Looking healthy is just plain sexy. When I am seriously deciding to date a girl I consider her health. I don't want to marry a girl that will "lose herself". Not only that but I daydream about how the girl I am dating is going to age. Will she age gracefully?
I went from a no body to loosing 80lbs and finding i had a lot more attention *shrugs* make of that what you will
Health is a must have for me. And obesity is not healthy
It really depends on the person really , some like fat woman a lot more , personally lately I've noticed it more matters what the person is like , ofc thin is sometimes the first attraction and a easier way but if the person is fat but a amazing person as cliché as it sounds it is actually true that in the end it won't matter
Being healthy is what beautiful. Really you can't be beautiful with 200kg. That's just bullshit. You need to be healthy in order to be beautiful and that's a fact. If your VERY fat then you need to have a proper diet and a good routine. Being very fat is not a good sign. Fuck the beauty, are happy yourself being a weight. Just eating, sleeping, TV, yt, Mobile... this will not lead you to anything good. Be healthy be happy and ultimately beautiful.
Thicc girls have about 20× the sex appeal as girls who are scrawny twigs, so being thin, especially as thin as supermodels, actually makes a girl LESS attractive.
"Thin" and "obese " are bith kind of turn offs for me. I like "thicc" not overweight but certainly not thin either. A girl should have some meat on her bones! For me anyways! If you need to lean one way or another I prefer a little overweight to too thin.
I like the sort of stocky look. Strong shoulders and hips are huge turn on for me. I also like rounded facial features. This is actually what used to be considered the classical standard of beauty, if you look at old paintings and statues.
250lbs is a lot on 7 inches lmao fr tho it does come to healthiness. Unless you are thicc I expect you to have the same amount of healthy weight as me or at least within close distance even 60 lbs girls are a no because it is now just bone and some of last nights dinner she has to have a somewhat decently healthy body as my preference. Like if I'm going to the gym 2-3 times a week I expect nothing less than 2-3 for her idc what she does in the gym as long as she's not a damn whale
Obviously it's very important especially for my female cousin who was a former Orange Bowl Queen that has high demands on her and her family to be lean so that her and her family members can network and can find somebody to meet important in their lives
I don't want to be either skinny or chubby. My goal is to be healthy to live a good life. Being slim (and hopefully sexy) are the "perks" of that.
I think it's important to be healthy being overweight shouldn't hurt your attractiveness but it does effect your health that's what should be looked upon well not how attractive it is or isn't but health I think the most attractive way for somone to be is to have a personality of love kindness and responsibility
I could never date a girl who was more than maybe 15 or so pounds overweight. (That's probably about how much I need to lose lul.) I dated a girl in high school who was probably about my weight exactly, though, she carried it well and was about my height. So it's not a huge factor unless you're really overweight or really underweight in my opinion.
My mom contracted diabetes because of her bad eating habits and lack of exercise. I love her, but I'm not stupid. She's suffering now because of a movement that told her its ok to let herself go.
Thin shows health, and that's attractive, cause wide shows many health risks.
Honestly as an older woman slim not thin woman it has it's perks. I am not a beauty but ok so I wasn't noticed a lot when I was younger but at my age being slim does get one noticed. I just eat well that's about it.
From my experience when I lost 30 lbs in the gym one year I had men who normally would barely look at me would be suddenly so drawn to me. It was so bazzar. They would behave like it was the first time we've ever crossed paths when it'd been just the opposite. I'm told I'm really pretty when I'm slim and when I'm my normal heavier weight, they say "cute"
It is important, I do not like skinny girls. I like full size sedans, full size cigars, and full sized recliners. Why would I not like full sized girls?
Fairly important. I don't find "thick" or larger body types to be attractive.
Depends on the person actually
Some people prefer fat
Most prefer fit
And some people would accept both.
But yeah, fitness plays a big part in being attractive
As a skinny girl I don’t think it’s all that important in the grand scheme of things. But it’s a nice bonus when your in shape. Being in shape will definitely add to someones attractiveness.
It's so important as being tall for a male. Some men don't find obese girls attractive others find them attractive but prefer thin ones and a minority loves fat girls..
Being obese is unhealthy. It looks unhealthy and does not look appealing at all. I would say a woman up to 20% subcutaneous body fat has a potential to look far more attractive than the ones with higher percentages.
Being overweight also comes with scores of other problems (not all the time) such as skin problems and inability to perform many things that are "physically demanding" more or less.
Healthy women just plain look better.
I do need to thin out and girls my age tend to be thinner so attractiveness is based on your body shape at my age and boys prefer a thin girl over a thick one.
I dont think its thin i think its whether or not u like your body. And also if ur body is functioning healthy u may like being 400 lbs but it still not good for you therefore its important
Trust me, coming from someone who is obese, it’s EXTREMELY important. Men don’t look my direction let along talk to me, and I can’t blame them. Don’t be fat, and you’ll easily find someone plus be attractive towards the majority of the human population.
You dont have to be thin, just healthy and toned.
Flabby and fat just isn't cute on anyone. Looks unhealthy and lazy
Being thin or at least within the healthy BMI range is important to be perceived as attractive in general.
It certainly plays a factor. Being healthy is a very attractive feature so someone who has higher than normal body fat isn't as appealing.
I'd rank it as very important in what I like to see in a girl, but I also acknowledge that's just my preference - not law.
There is no difference other then her shape but if people are going to nitpick, her breasts retain the size, their just more plump, and her pubic area is more rounded.
The girl above is obese so pass but I dont want a skinny girl either.. I like girls with some meat on em!
I don't believe being thin automatically means being attractive, but I am attracted to healthier people, and typically over weight = unhealthy.
i HATE when gag edits in pictures for my question. anyway, thin isn't very important but being healthy is.
It’s the number one priority if you want to be hot. Helps to maintain hotness as you grow older. Thank Gawd I live in LA where this social pressure to be healthy and active and hot create a culture that supports this.
I don’t know if thin necessarily means attractive but healthy definitely helps make a person look better
For every guy like me who likes skinny girls, there's a guy who likes his lady thick n' curvy. I just know what I prefer.
Find someone who thinks you're perfect.
wow that girl lost a lot of weight good for her but looks do count to most but what 1 person likes some 1 hates I mean look at hair styles if some beautiful girls starts wearing her hair crew cut other girls copy it
If you want to be able to have sex in all the positions you have to be thin so I can pick you up and spin you upside down.
In my opinion, it's vital. But that's taste, like preferring smoky to peaty, or salty to sweet. It has no objective impact.
Thin fit, for me very important. I would absolutely not feel attractive if I was fat or overweight. Then again I would never let it get that far.
Very, most guys don't like fat girls.
But there is definitely such a thing as being too thin.
"being thin" is less important than "not being fat."
The image says it all anyway. NOBODY really LIKES fat. All the body-positivity bullshit is just that - a crutch for fat people, something to prop them up.
Thick can be hot Fat isn't. What's the diff? If you are so overweight you have extra rolls and bulges while standing or have to shop at special stores... you might want to put down the ice cream spoon
Important, but there are people who do love bigger women because they love their personality etc. But, you should want to be thinner for health reasons, just don't be too damn thin._.
