I'm learning about this in a class, and one theory out there is that because society in general, males and females, are obsessed with youth, men like women, fully grown, who appear adolescent like in body type. Females shaving their body hair is a contributor that gives women a more youthful look. And females often like males who are physically capable, usually someone in their 20's, which is still quite young. Subconsciously, I think it has to do with history, females used to be pubescent younger while still appearing youthful and males were usually settled down in life younger as well. I dunno though these are all theories and I always fall asleep in that class, so a lot of this could just be misplaced info I hear while being half asleep lol.
Oh yay, more fucking body shaming, because if somebody doesn't want what you are, they're a piece of crap and the person they prefer is a piece of crap.
I have a lot of guy friends. I have guy friends that like petite girls. I have a friend who is engaged to a 6'2" 250 lb girl. Everyone has a preference. Men aren't these singular creatures that only want one thing. Shaming a girl for not being curvy saying she looks like a child (regardless of being an adult) is just as bad as a guy not liking curvy girls.

It's genetics, men are attracted to the healthiest most youthful girls because that's just how nature works. And men aren't attracted to "skinny" girls, just slim girls. A 19 year old with a 19 BMI for example would be physically better to produce a child than a 34 year old with a 22 BMI.
Whereas it's different with men. Men are at their child producing peak later in life (25 - 35 roughly), therefore women are attracted to men around that age.
It's biology. Everyone is attracted to health, basically.
I think in general, men like women that are smaller than them, so average height and short guys, are gonna like even smaller women. I like women to be between, 5'3" and 5'8" since I'm 5'8". I do prefer slim women with small breasts, but I like a thick butt and thighs. My brother likes women to be shorter than him too, but he's 6'2". He also likes super curvy women. So really it's very dependent on the individual. I like really pail girls with light eyes and hair, my older brother likes them all around dark, my younger brother likes dark hair and eyes, but light skin. As you can see, even we three brothers have very different tastes.
We don't. Just because she's short doesn't mean she looks like a teen. And most men prefer skinny and curvy, rather than just skinny. Also a big amount of men like fit girls, and those don't look like a teen.
I don't know where you're getting this "facts", or if you're making them up due to bitterness, but you're completely wrong.

I think it's a combination of things. It was once common for young girls to be married off to much older men. Also, younger women are seen as less threatening and as silly as that seems there are men that struggle with their place as men in a society that has seen adult women make such significant inroads. Add those two factors into a culture that is all too willing to use young adult females in sexualized portrayals of young girls and you have a recipe that will find its place with a certain percentage of the male population.
This is very complicated. Attraction is purely emotional. Not all guys are attracted to the same thing. And even the same person will feel different emotions at different times. I have seen 16 year old girls that I am attracted too just as I have seen older women that I am equally attracted too. I have seen homely girls that I am very attracted too. It all tends to be how it strikes you at that moment.
I do agree with many of the posters here that a projection of vulnerability is a motivator for a man. I am attracted to Asian woman. Asian women have very fine delicate features... a projection of vulnerability.
there's only 1 reason.
Shorter girls = feels more dominant throwing them around, much easier to control in bed
Skinny girls = much less padding to deal with / physically more attractive as generally the 'curvy' girls you're referring to are whales, not to mention in the more modern countries currently, the standard of media is displaying skinny = beautiful. I mean, look at taylor swift. She is the sexual icon of beauty.
Placebo penis effect = because the girl is smaller, so are her hands and features, thus making your penis appear larger than it actually is. it will give you more confidence, not to mention she may or may not think its huge if she's inexperienced - which is a double bonus.
I don't have a preference when it comes to size, maybe taller is a bit better. but I prefer skinny/petite bodies simply because I like that they usually look perfectly toned. and boob/ass size isn't that important to me... it's more about the shape. I love curves on the right places but if it means that other body parts are also thicker where I don't really like it as much... then I prefer an overall skinnier body. I like many different types but we all have our preferences when it comes to certain things
Women's peak fertility is early 20s.
Generally speaking, the closer a woman looks to that age, the more attractive men find her. Men who like the look of pre-pubescent girls are a very small and troubled minority.
The issue you're running into far more is that a lot of mid-late teen women have bodies - and fertility - that's really close to the 'ideal'. Most of them, their faces actually do look TOO young... unless they cake on the makeup, in which case they look like a a really pert 20 year old, in a lot of ways. WHich is.. . guess what.. the 'ideal'. That's why it's so common for models to be teenagers... in heavy makeup.
Being old doesn't magically make you prefer people your age. I like 40 year old women... more now then i did when young, but it doesn't magically make them look better than 20 year olds. And i don't imagine when i'm 70, i will think 70 year old women's bodies look better than 20 year olds.
I happen to think it depends on the person really. Most men prefer small women because they can "protect them" and don't feel as if their dominance can be tested by their partner. It's weird I know and I still fail to wrap my head around the idea. But in my experience there are plenty men who don't mind tall ladies either. I'm six feet tall and there are a lot of guys who aren't put off by my height, even if they were I could care less.
Yes men find youth and beauty attractive for the same reason women find men who are mature and stable attractive. It goes to the animal instincts we have to carry the species.
When you look at when humans only lived to be 30, a 14-18 year old girl was at her peak for procreation. Our instincts for being attracted to that doesn't just change because humans have found a way to live longer. Therefore a younger more physically attractive female will always be more alluring than a female past her prime (repetitively speaking) which is called ephebophile (attraction to 14-18yr olds) and almost all men are ephebophiles. It is not wrong or creepy or gross, it's simply natural human instinct. Acting on this is now very frowned upon so most of us do not do anything about it.
I like slim girls to a certain extent... They can't be too skinny, I've seen plenty of beautiful curvy and thick women and would be more than ecstatic to get with one. I actually prefer tall girls over short ones, tall girls have great legs and have a more "adult" composition as opposed to short girls. I'll always consider short girls "cute" but very rarely will I find them sexy like I do with tall girls.
So no, we're not one homogeneous sex...
if you're refering to how much guys like women who shave their bodies, it's not because they look like little girls (because they don't) they just find hairless bodies more feminine, since the opposite of what a male body would look like. make sense? i myself hate having hair anywhere that isn't my head so i wax regularly
A skinny girl:
-looks more youthful
-inspires the masculine instinct to protect
-is probably in better shape than a "curvy" one
-is probably more mobile in bed
I prefer petite women over tall and/or "curvy" ones. Everyone has a preference. Mine developed in high school and hasn't changed too much, I've always dated shorter girls (and they've always sought me out too). Thing is, a woman can still look like that in her 30s, some will look like it their whole lives.
NO IDEA BUT IT'S FUCKING WEIRD.
Guys who have a thing for very tiny girls kinda creep me out. There is a difference between liking girls shorter than him and wanting a kid.
But when they particularly like girls who look ten and think I wanna fuck em. It's disgusting.
Not saying guys shouldn't like these females, because that'd be ridiculous, they are women, but when they only go for the kid look it's kinda weird.
I think guys like girls that are smaller because they are masculine, and want to protect a girl who seems small or something. Oh, and don't listen to that bitch, @MaiNameIsSunshine, she's been talking shit on people's questions all day.
Huge generalization u are making there, there's a lot of guys that prefer curvy women, everyone has their preferences. It's like saying that girls always prefer muscular guys over skinny, which is not true
Well I personally like skinny and small girls because I'm the male version of that I'm 5'4" 110lbs and I look like a kid myself so it's like a good match.
#generalisation531 u do realise men love us in all shapes and sizes right? i don't think it's ur place to question their preferences, just as it's not their place to question ours.
Ah excuse me, it's called Loli's and some of us just happen to found over this darn adorable heavenly creatures.
Because men naturally wanna be the protector, and petite women are more feminine because they are smaller.
I like slim and curvy females. I like short and tall females.
I see appeal in a small female, but there's nothing like a female who if you tried to pick up she'd break your shoulder :P
Just because a woman is skinny doesn't mean she looks like a little girl. I know a lot of very hot skinny girls who actually have nice curves. You don't need to be overweight to have curves
Biology. And anyway, a lot of 15 year olds these days look like their in their 20s, probably because of animal hormones.
If you want my own opinion, I can go both ways. Skinny tiny girl or curvy. But only if curvy doesn't mean fat.
