Strictly speaking I think people usually look their best when they are around about a healthy weight for their height and build. Some women are naturally built more curvy and really don't look at their best when they're very thin. I'm tall and slight, so I can imagine I wouldn't look at my best carrying a lot of weight. I think it's more about having an appearance of health and fitness rather than fashionable ideals - "size zero" might have a certain appeal tottering up and down the catwalks or on the covers of magazines - but take away the lighting, make-up, artistry and showmanship, and more often than not you just have a very sick looking person.
Whatever your size or shape, it will always be perfect to somebody! Ultimately I'm all for acceptance - love your body and treat it kindly, it's the only one you'll ever have. Confident women of all shapes and sizes who enjoy their bodies will always be happier and more attractive than those women who work against their bodies and punish them in pursuit of prescribed ideals.
Well, I've met many people who were formerly fat and lost a lot of weight and now that they lost the weight, they seem so unhappy. When they were fatter, they were friendly and nice and now that they lost weight, they are always frowning and bitching at everyone. I don't know why that is. I know not all slim people are like this though.
I think guys will pay attention to girls who are confident and happy. I know many girl who aren't slim and have a lot of guys after them. But of course, there are those guys who do not like bigger girls.
But still, I think being healthy is what attracts guys the most, and being at a healthy weight doesn't necessarily mean being extremely thin.
Honestly, yes
In a nation of fatasses, the slim women have more luck.
No, being skinny doesn't matter at all to me. I never saw a pretty girl and thought "well she couldn't be a runway model with that stocky frame... pass!" Shape is very attractive. To be an accessory in the Hollywood you might have to be thin but for everything else (real life), it's not a requirement.
All that matters is she cares enough about her health to not let herself go as she ages. Some people have it easy but that's life.
I recently dated a girl who played water polo and she had some meat on her bones (it fit her body type). After we stopped dating she went in this phase where she wouldn't eat solid food, and eventually she became abnormally skinny. She was runway model skinny and it just didn't look right.
I'm not saying skinny is bad. Just know your body and don't try to be something you're not.
Yes it matters for a lot of people. A slim girl is a lot more attractive than a chubby one. At least to me, and to a lot of people in society.
You'll always get people some telling you, "no you're fine the way you are, I love a girl with extra curves!"
So really it comes down to how you feel about yourself. If you feel you'd like to be slim, then go for it. Otherwise if you're fine with being a little thicker stay like that. There's always going to be someone who loves your bodytype. Or almost always :)

Many girls think that slim means starving themselves. That isn't true. I had an ex who I dated who some of my friends thought was chubby. I thought she was fantastic. In the middle of the relationship she started losing weight until she lost about 15 pounds. I told her to stop as any more weight loss and she would be too skinny. She was eating 500 calories a day and was starting to develop an eating disorder and I hated myself for not being able to stop her.
Just eat healthy and exercise moderately. Any weight you become is the weight you should be at. Guys like a range of girl's height and weight, girls think they just like the skinniest. Confidence makes you the most attractive.
I actually have a fear of being skinny. I have woken up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night on more than one occasion from having a dream where I looked like this link I LIKE the fact that my thighs touch, I LIKE the fact that I have big boobs, I LIKE the fact that my booty bounces when you smack it. I don't understand why other girls don't.
Most guys aren't all that obsessive about someone's weight. Personality and shared itnerests are much more important in the long term.
But clothes always look better on slim girls, even when they don't look like much without them! so they slim girls are going to be noticed right away.
Trust me, being skinny isn't all that. I've always been skinny and have always been called 'hot' for that, but that doesn't mean that it makes me happy. skinny isn't everything. I wish I could gain some weight so my pants will fit. I'd rather people be average rather than skinny. Or curvy =)
Depends what you mean by 'skinny' if we're talking those size zero models that have limbs like grasshoppers then count me out. I like real women, with real figures, not skinny but not your larger woman too. I just like normal.
Overly skinny women are just as unattractive to me as overly large women.
No lol I ve always had boyfriends and long relationships and I am a size 12 (uk) so 10 (us) I am not skinny I have boobs and bum lol. Guys who like skinny flat girls might as well f*** boys
The girl I'm in a relationship with is not skinny. And I think that's a good thing, considering this way I don't feel her bone structure poking me every time I give her a hug. There's no point in trying to be skinny, most people think they're fat even when they're not. Not to mention, to be skinny, you have to lead an unhealthy lifestyle, and we all know that makes people unhappy no matter what.
I'll be honest. When I was 165 lbs 5'4 I got attention but not from decent guys. Now that I lost weight and am a healthy 125 lbs girl, I get more attention and from much better guys. I'm sure a lot of factors play into this such as confidence and whatnot, but I do get more attention as a skinnier girl.
Does being *skinny* matter that much? No. Being skinny isn't good.
Being slim, or in good shape--that's great. You do that, and smile and make eye contact at guys you think are cute, and you're *way ahead*! Seriously. So many girls don't even care to take care of themselves. Those that do have a big advantage in the dating game.
Women enrich mens lives in 2 ways: sexually, and socially. Naturally curvy (not chubby) girls have the "toys" for sexual satisfaction, but the thin girl is more elevated in society and offers more availability to social mobility for that reason. This is why a girl with both the "toys" AND the height/thin factor is the holygrail. It's tricky to have boobs and be tall and thin and not look like a porn star, but if you can pull it off, then you're the ultimate girl-next-door, not to mention total marriage material.
To most guys it seems to. I know I would rather be too skinny then be fat like I am. I dated a guy who would abuse me mentally as much as he could because he was trying to get me to loose weight. He made my depression worse and now that we are not together I'm loosing weight. It sucks because everyone I'm around thinks its the most important thing. I am sick of hearing about weight and how fat I am so I finally did something about it.
I'm not really into skinny thin girls.
I'd rather have a Sofia Vergara than a Kate Moss.
I love eating & expect my friends & maybe girlfriend to do too :).
As long as she's attractive and taking care of herself well.
There are those not so slim women however they look so hot and so seductive.
She doesn't need to be slim or skinny, in fact I don't really like skinny girls. She just needs to look healthy. The problem is lots of people these days can't manage that.
Does being skinny makes me happy? NO,but being slim,yes because it makes me more confident and comfortable.I can get many outfits that suit my body thus easy to appear more attractive.
let me say that to lose weight is just incredible feeling okay ! but for me I like to be skinny because I love to be but some guys don't like skinny girls but mostly they like !
i mean if you love yourself and you feel good about your weight so nothing is important :)
Being slim would make me very happy. I'm trying to exercise more and lose weight to ultimately become slimmer. It would give me more self-confidence and I would love myself more if I could achieve this goal.
No I wouldn't, basically.
However men's definition of slim is a little more forgiving then women's definition of slim.
In our countries slim or lower bmi weight girls tend to be preferred. Obviously that isn't the case for many third world countries though.
being skinny doesn't matter my girlfirend is always complaining she is fat and I'm like it does not matter...and you are right its alway in advertisments and stuff but you sholdnt care that's how they win money by making you think you have to get skinnier or preetier...if you want to get skinnier because you like it(underline you) then do it but if it is fot other people or stuff don't do it...thats all stupid stuff people just want you to be
