Guys would you be turned off if a girl has a few bones visible?

Question

so I'm naturally petite, I'm 5'4 I'm 105 that I last checked, I've always had my pelvic (hip bone or w/e its called) sticking out, same with 3 of my ribs, which you can see just when I'm standing up.I have boobs (Cs), a butt, and hips, but I keep hearing that guys don't want to see bones, and that seeing ribs, or pelvic, hip bones means they are bony and they don't like that. I know other girls have ribs, hip bone sticking out, because they're smaller like me, but I feel like maybe guys think I'm gross becasue they can see some bones, becvause I don't have enough meat on my bones. So am I grossing guys out, or is it fine in a guy's opinion because that's how I've always been and I'm not some girl trying to lose weight to be thin?

First off I want to say that you're the exact height and weight of the girl I love...

And she just died yesterday...

Best to keep that in mind as you read my answer.

I'm very much a person who loves natural beauty, I like girls to be somewhere in the middle, not too thin, not too thick. Leaning a little to one side is not unattractive so long as it is not to extreme.

It sounds to me like you have an attractive body, but if you get any thinner you'd dip too far to the thin side. If you can't build up some meat by eating, you can build up muscle, take a trip the gym a couple times a week and get yourself toned, that way you won't have to worry about any bones showing. Then you'll have to worry about scared little boys who can't handle a strong woman, but you'll find a real man who will love it.

You sound good to me, that's the type of girl I go for I've dated girls who were 5'4 and 105 lbs or 106lbs what's wrong with that? They're fun to pick up, I was never grossed out by a girl with a good body.

Well, from what I know about men (and I grew up being the only girl in my family) men DO like  a chick to have a little meat on her bones...look at the sex goddess Marilyn Monroe..i mean the girl was slightly on the hefty side and men adored her!  History tell us that men are first attracted to women who are more meaty because they portray a healthy, child bearing physique. I don't think you haveing a couple ribs and/or hip bones showing will gross out a dude. As long as you are just naturally petite and thin and are not trying to be waif then you are fine. Some people have a hard time puttong on weight and I'll bet there are hundreds of chicks who will read this and wish they had your problem!  Press on hunny  :)

Guys are bad at guess weight. They think they know what their weight limit is but they really don't. For example my boyfriend thought that I was 125 but I'm 140. I just look 125 because of the way my fat is distributed and my height. You are prefect because that is the way you were made. Some guy is going to like you just they way you are and if you get one that has a problem with it then dump him and move to another one. Eat what you want, stay healthy and pick out clothes that flatter you. Weight isn't really that important as long as you walk with confidence.

Some guys go for thin girls, some guys go for curves. Look at Keira Knightley, guys love her. Absolutely no breasts and her ribs show, but men love obviously her face and athleticism, and the bones don't bother them. You have decent boobs too so no need to worry!

Equally some guys prefer bigger girls, but I always find for some odd reason, I only tend to have chemistry with the guys that like my bodyshape (American size 8-10 in dresses with F cup and huge ass). Things always work out.

Oh Please...

Is the next question do my jeans make me look fat?

If you have to ask then they are!

Your just right or even need to lose a few lbs in some guys eyes like mine...;)

What your hearing from the gals is pure BS. They wish they were that way and are giving you a hard time because you meet the standard we all see from the top models and on TV.

That said some guys who have a spare tire don't or can't say anything to ladies who have some "extra" junk in the trunk. So they like to pick on the skinny bony gals.

So take a look who is saying your too skinny I'm sure they could lose 10 to 20 lbs themselves. Remember they feel better dragging you down to their level...

Just say ya its hard to work out and keep in shape. So can you tell me how you stay in such good shape!

If you look at any BMI calculator online you'll see that you're on the high end of underweight or low end of normal. I surely wouldn't say that you are grossing any out, I'm sure you look great. The important thing is that you're happy with yourself and anyone that thinks otherwise can just get lost!

i have almost the same body as you except maybe a tiny bit taller.  guys love my body and I'm sure they love yours too. they say they "don't want to see bones" because they don't want heavier girls to think they are ONLY interested in skinny girls.  Most guys prefer thin girls, however a lot of guys will also date heavier ones.  It's more of a saying than anything else.  My bones stick out a little and guys have never complained.

your perfect bones will always show even if you were 20 pounds more and plus your body sounds perfect a few ribs is normal, just don't get skinny I really hate it when I see a girl who would be really pretty but she has no chheks on her face like a skull and has tiny stick legs , a few ribs is fine and I actually like the way girls lower stomach area is naturally pushed out its another sexy curve

hope I helped

As long as you're within your natural body weight for your frame, don't sweat it. Last time I checked, bones are part of female anatomy! :)

Depends on the guy, really. Not worth worrying about. Some like them thick, some thin.

Guys don't have a problem with that.  I've seen girls your size get tons of guys, really many girls look at you and assume you should have no problem with guys based on your body.  At least you're not fat then that would be a problem!

A few ribs are alright. Hips aren't too big a deal. I'm pretty skinny so I'm used to seeing bones sticking out, just not as much on girls.

amatuer_zombie · Answer

bones not a turn on but maybe a turn off put some weight not much but just hide the bones by packing on mass

Seeing bones can be a little gross, especially if the rest of the body but your breasts are petite. But, I don't think it'll negatively affect you in the long run.

a few ribs is absolutely fine by me. But not every single rib. Hip bones sticking out, tht doesn't look good.
