Well, I either have to stay fairly slim or my stomach and hips start to jiggle. After recovery from an eating disorder though, I no longer try to lose all the weight I can, skinnier isn't always better. I just try to stay in a range that I am comfortable with. It's hard though, when media BOMBARDS you with "Get in shape! How to lose 5 pounds in 10 days! Work off that holiday weight!" Etc.
ehm the media is a reflection of what we want. Have you spend some time on websites that aim predominantly at men like Maxim, Penthouse, Playboy or Chive?
How many "curvy" girls do you find?
Ehm... lots... and lots... and lots. Nearly all the girls have wide hips, big boobs, big muscular ass, thighs and calves.
In other words curvy :)
Oh ok so your definition of curvy is big boobs big butt and skinny everywhere else?
lol, oh god I have no words for you
Maybe because you can hardly speak :) Sorry, I'm actually not looking for a fight.
When did I say they were skinny everywhere else. Do I have to talk about every inch of the body? But even if they were, girls like that are still considered curvy, and not just by me. You might be thinking of the definition you may have heard which is quite common nowadays. Fat girls in denial use that word sometimes to describe themselves and then say things like "guys want curves". Actual curvy girls are those between slim and chubby with wide hips and can also include the rest of what I described.
But they can be slim too, since the big ass, wide hips and hourglass figure are really what puts the curve into curvy.
No when you ask a question like this people assume you have some sense of reality and reality is that for most girls it's the option between this

You can either be skinny or you can have a few pounds more. This
thepulsegossip.com/.../21.jpg
is only possible with photoshop. If you can't tell reality from illusion I don't know what to say. And in that sense most girls want to be skinny because the last pic isn't realistic without surgery and most guys will prefer the first pic of lady gaga over the second. You disagree with that?
That pic of the girl is obviously blown out of proportion, its photoshop. I have actually met girls like that, so dont be saying its impossible. Bit I can tell that this is fake though. It looks wrong. Girls like that are very rare and when I say curvy, I don't mean that damn curvy. You took my idea and blew it into ridiculous proportions.
well ya I took an extreme example to underline my point. This is the original
img-9gag-ftw.9cache.com/photo/aAV6qvo_460s_v1.jpg
And yet I promise a lot o guys are fooled by the photoshopped version. The fact stands though that you can't choose to be curvy. I mean you can get butt or boob implants but other than that you can either be skinny or bigger, as the pic of Lady G. So do you disagree that guys would find the left one to be more attractive?
Because I think your question is completely ridicoulous. You're basically asking "Why don't girls want to have big boobs, big butt and a small waist?" ehm we do it's just not realistic. It's out of the question for most of us. There is nothing you can do to get that look if you don't already have it. So the next best thing is being skinny and that is actually a goal we can reach
Curvy is just my own personal preference. I mentioned in my question that guys do like slim girls. I'd say nearly the same amount of them as curvy girls, and that is why I asked this question. Girls who could be slim want to become incredibly skinny and boney. That's not only unhealthy but unattractive. I don't understand why girls who have a perfect physique want to do that to themselves. I don't understand why they can't just be happy with being slim? Even if a girl is naturally skinny, thats perfectly fine, but I don't understand why so many want to become super skinny.
For the second time you didn't answer my question. Do you agree or disagree?
Oh, sorry I didn't see that there. I think the real one is more attractive. She still is quite curvy, maybe in between slim and curvy. But the one on the left is just, too blown out of proportion, its too curvy I suppose.
not that picture, the picture of lady gaga. Third try !
a57.foxnews.com/.../...20gaga%20skinny%20curvy.jpg
Look, stop trying to talk down to me. I don't always care enough to answer some random girls little questions so I'm sorry about that.
Now to your question, yes she's unattractive in the second one, her body doesn't look good with that amount of fat, she's not curvy, I know that. I get the point your trying to make but I did say that slim is perfectly fine too. If she slimmed down a bit shed look good, maybe she's trying to be curvy in that pic but its not working out for her. That doesn't make me wrong, slim is still good, super skinny is still bad.
well I'm not trying to talk down to you, but I did have to ask the same question thrice in order to get an answer.
"If she slimmed down a bit shed look good,"
I would think that answers your question, no?
Yes :) genius
You didn't make your questions very clear, you just threw them in there along with the rest of your rants, which made them sound kind of rhetorical or sarcastic.
Its not that we want to be skinny. Some of us are just born like that, as for me I was always skinny. I can't help it, that's how God made me. Its not us, its society, society is to blame. Some people are just born skinny. But just because I'm skinny doesn't mean I am unhealthy.
If you're naturally skinny that perfect as long as you aren't desperately trying to be super skinny. And yes you're right, society is to blame.
I'm not trying at all I was born this way I can't help it. Sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it. I can eat anything and everything and still gain nothing. But yes society is to blame.
for me it's how I look in the mirror and being surrounded by slim, toned girls makes us feel worse about ourselves. It's about fitness too, you don't want to be last to finish a race. Friends borrow eachothers clothes all the time so i feel its better to be skinny to save the embarrasing of things not fitting. But I totally agree the media constantly changes it's opinion on whats "hot" but ultimatly it just comes down to us comparing ourselves to others around us.
This is actually a great answer wish I could change MHO
haha well thanks, glad I could help!
so that i can fit into my jeans.
you're a little full of yourself arnt you dave
I'm sorry if I came across that way. I'm actually not :)
I want to be skinny, and I want to look like a VS model. They're beautiful. It's just something ie always wanted, they're everything I'm not honestly. A lot of the time I do feel as though is rather be pretty than healthy. Which is bad, I know but nothing is more loved in our society than beauty.
But still it's what I like, when I look at a body like mine I don't find it attractive, when I look at them I see beauty. I won't stop until I achieve my goals and that's okay.
Really? I just see of bones when I look at them tbh. They're far too skinny, you can see all their ribs and they have stick limbs. I don't find them at all beautiful and I know so many guys who say the same. Why not just become slim and not so bony like them? What kind of natural physique are you? Are you naturally slim or naturally curvy?
I'm naturally curvy I guess. My stomache isn't flat, and my thighs definetly touch. I'm guess it's an hourglass but not the perfect Kim kardashian ones you always see. But I could still be slim and an hourglass
But basically in not naturally slim or thin
Don't try and look like a vs model. Curvy is perfect. You don't have to be the kim kardashian type. Once your stomach is flat I'd say stop losing weight, seriously curvy girls are to die for! :)
Yeah, but I wouldn't be comfortable looking like that. I've been bigger my whole life and don't want to be that way anymore. Curvy is great but it's not my favorite so i don't want to be that way. But thank you
You're welcome. I just hope you take this into consideration. Maybe do some research about what guys like before you get that skinny. Good luck and whatever happens, I just hope you're happy in the end.
Thank you again. I know guys don't like it but I really just want to feel pretty for myself
I dont want to be super skinny, but healthy. My mother, sister, and close close cousin are all obese, and I see the struggles it puts them through. I don't want to be anorexic or anything, but I don't want to be obese either. Luckily, I love my body the way it is, because I'm pretty much normal. Most curvy girls just find themselves as fat.
Yes they do, any I hate that they do. Its my favorite female bodytype but because of media they think they aren't good enough even though they're perfect, no matter how many times you tell them. I read your question where you talk about your families health problems. I hope you keep healthy and happy and your cousin gets better.
Thank you!
Well I'm not a girl but I want to be fit because I want to model and become an actor. My chances of succeeding at both are increased with me being physically attractive to a wide audience of people.
That type of physique is perfect for men and its attractive. Girls should be fit too but I was talking about girls who are bordering on anorexic, constantly worrying they're too fat even though they are perfect and feeling like they need to be super skinny
Oh, then yeah the anorexic look just doesn't look healthy at all. Men want something we can't break in the bedroom although we try to break them and some of us succeed... ;)
Yea haha completely true. I love something to grab onto too.
Some have issues, others listen to the media. The point should be come to terms with our bodies and be healthy and active. But it takes years to learn that.
Not all skinny girls want to be skinny. Some girls are naturally thin and tall and do eat regularly but don't gain much weight. It's not their fault.
Bottom line: most people don't like something about their body, whether it's one thing or several things. Humans are imperfect creatures however.
She's 5'2"
So not tall
Because the media glorifies the skinny girls... They make em look good by putting em in the best looking outfits and and make up. In reality these standards are pretty unrelasitc as a lot of these models are photoshoped. Its kinda like smoking.. we are all know smoking is bad for you people but people still start cuz of the commericals that make you cool/sexy..
From another perspective, a controversial study was conducted showing that richer and more influential men preferred skinnier women, and men who were more poverty stricken/poorer wanted bigger women.
Because being skinny is so fashion. Media promotes this trend. We start to think only skinny girls are beautiful, which is not true.
I never had that problem I'm skinny but not skin and bones I'm mostly muscle not fat no matter how hard I try to gain a little I can't
There's tons of guys into girls who are underweight actually. I posted a question asking if guys found this one chick- who was probably 5'3" and 85-90 pounds- attractive and the majority said yes.
Well if she was good looking, that would have pulled most of the vote, most guys when they look at a picture like that they will say its attractive because he is pretty, it doesn't necessarily mean they're inter body.
Slim is underweight, just a little bit, and that is one of the most common bodytypes men love. But I just want girls to be healthy and happy and not feel as if they need to be super skinny
Sorry correction.
"*she is pretty"
Oh and "*into her body" I meameant, sorry
Wow I'm all over the place with spelling today, haha today :)
I think "skinny" is the wrong word.
Most want to be fit and healthy and FAST I think.
I don't. Honestly I feel like I'm too skinny. You can't see my ribs and I eat but people are constantly pointing out how skinny I am. I actually want to gain weight.
People are terrible. They'll find a fault no matter who you are or what you look like. Just make sure you are happy
I'm trying ha
I don't try to be super skinny, but I try to make sure my body looks good. I don't have an attractive face at all, so I do what I can to improve my body. I make sure to dress well and style my hair. I am no where near bony or anything though.
because unfortunately some girls do, what media tells them
Well being kinda thick hasn't worked well so far in my life, never had a boyfriend or anything so maybe things would be different if I was skinny + I'd be more confident.
Try it. Whatever makes you happy.
