I think for men and women, being slim just accentuates your facial and body features. Particularly the face.
Being overweight masks what your face actually looks like because there is a layer of fat all around. That's why if you really want to know what your face looks like, you need to get your body fat % down low enough.
But societally as well, being slim sends a message of healthiness, self-care, and discipline; all positive characteristics.

Media does fucked up shit to body image.
Well it’s much better than super fat. When she gets older and her metabolism slows down she will likely still be thin.
But this doesn’t mean I (or most guys) want women to be anorexic. I mostly care if she puts in an honest and consistent effort to diet healthy and exercise regularly.
I do know there are some heavy set women who do both above. There is something in the way they carry themselves that shows they exercise and take care of their bodies. That in itself is attractive even if they have some extra girth.
But overweight women who put little/no effort into physically exercise nor diet properly than are crybabies about “fat shaming” because they get little/no attention from men get little sympathy from me. Yes genetics plays a role but that doesn’t give you an excuse to be lazy.
Plus women judge men all the time for attributes men have zero control over namely height. At least if your overweight you can do something about it. But if your short then tough luck.
Because they want to fuck a skeleton with tits, like a rattling ribcage is the ultimate aphrodisiac. It's like trying to karate chop a feather, it has no substance, no power, no oomph! But hey, to each their own, some dudes like a girl with bones poking out like a poorly wrapped present. Personally, I prefer a woman with curves like a winding river, something to hold onto while I give her the ol' one-two thrustaroo. I mean, who wants to cuddle up to a bag of bones? Might as well stick your dick in a xylophone for all the pleasure you'd get outta that.
Now I will have to send a request to my favorite moderator @wilmareportu, is the question "Why is being super skinny considered attractive on women?
Obviously her face is super hot. But her skinny arms and legs just aren't. What's with the thigh gap obsession?"
Offensive?

I'm not sure. Maybe some men like it because the smaller the physique, the more alpha-male they feel next to her. It does look good on some girls who are naturally petite, but I know it's not for me. My body has always been curvy and it's just a struggle if I go above or below that. When I was thin I felt tired, cold and weak all the time.
Depending on your demographic, some cultures do find leaner/slimmer women to be attractive because it is associated with being healthy and discipline. Particularly in Asia (especially SEA and East Asia), this figure is seen as desirable by most people though there would be some exceptions.
I don't think she's super skinny. She's just a normal body weight before Americans started being 80 lbs overweight as a general norm...
That's a body type from movement. Humans are meant to move at least 3 hours a day in my opinion.
To me, that's an ideal body type. So it's obviously subjective.
No clue. I know when I was underweight, some people thought I was healthy when I definitely knew I wasn't. But of course, if you mean skinny as in the healthy type of way, then I guess that's why people like it. People like seeing others healthy and happy.
The opposite is kind of extremely unattractive to me.
Arms and legs ''unskinny'' - I'm not recruiting a construction worker.
''Thigh gap'' - is a practical consideration to me: visual appeal, accessibility, giving me a better view.
''Why''? - there is no why. It's just a personal preference to me... and apparently to a few others as well.
They're likely to have more energy, be more mobile, obviously not preganant, more likely to have a pleasant demeanor. If people are going to skinny shame, be prepared to be fat shamed. I health shame the both of them if that's compromised, I'd want the same for me.
I don't get it either. Stick skinny is not a cute look. And seriously dangerous for their health
Super skinny no. I like it average 🙂. Because I am myself that way in looks. I can't expect too much about it. I think it is a blessing to find a good person otherwise it's not something we can do.
Be grateful for your partner the way they look. Encourage them to care for their body and exercise but don't hate them if they are not very beautiful. God may make them beautiful but they might have character issues or be bossy and things like that
Unfortunately it is just society. Models are thin, ballerinas are thin etc. I guess I makes us more fragile or feminine or whatever. But all it does is give us body issues, mental health issues etc.
I like food too much to be that skinny 😅 However, that’s how it goes in the modeling industry. They have requirements on what they want you to look like.
whoever likes kinny comes to me, it is a preference afterwall
I am not crazy about the skinny look. I like somebody with a little muscle.
I don't know I want to be skinny since that what every man wants
i thing guys imagine that they will be more active in bed.
as over weight can't move too much in bed
Only white women are expected to be skinny, and Asian women. Latinas and African-American women are more desirable when they’re “thick.”
I don’t understand the thigh gap obsession either, and I agree that it’s possible to be too skinny. I love them thin. (Not skinny, but less than average.)
No disrespect to the thin gals, but I can't say that I sympathize with your assumption.
Being thin has been the beauty standard for years. To many people, thin = healthy.
many people think its pretty, probably cause models tend to look like that. anyways her legs are like goals
