Skinny or Curvy Girls?

[Anonymous]

So there's so much talk nowadays about curvy and skinny women.

The stereotypical view of some young girls is that they believe young men only want skinny women. I don't think I believe that's true because isn't it what a girl is like as a person rather than her figure and size?

I go to school and I'm 15 years old and I'm constantly surronded by girls (And guys) who feel pressured to look a certain way so that they can get boyfriends or girlfriends or even be considered "attractive."

Then comes all the talk about being curvy and skinny for girls: Which shape do guys prefer?

A guy should love and respect their girlfriends or wives or friends no matter if that girl's figure is skinny or curvy! Every body shape is beautiful and is unique to every girl.

Not every girl can be super skinny and girls shouldn't have to feel like they should. My mum says it's normal to have some tummy fat!

Don't guys want something to cuddle at night? (That's that my dad says) Isn't it good to have some wobble to a girls thighs?

So guys and girls I'm leaving it to you: Skinny or Curvy???? Does it even matter? Everyone has their own opinion... :)

But my belief is every girl is beautiful whether they're curvy or skinny and I don't think women should be pressured to lok a certain way or have a certain body shape based on society's ideologies on physical appearance.

(By this take I don't mean to offend anyone! I just think its interesting to share my view and hear all of yours.)

What's your view?

Ok, so by curvy you meant fat... fat is not curvy. A skinny woman can be curvy too.
Curvy and skinny is what I find attractive, someone that goes to the gym to stay healthy.
A little chubby can be attractive, but fat is not, at least not for me.

We all have our preferences, it's ok, and people should stop getting mad at others because they don't fit the preferences of that person.
As a skinny/lean guy, it sucks a little that women just want a muscular guy, but it is what it is, I can't change what people like, and I'm sure not gonna start a new movement to promote my body type or start saying real women like skinny/lean men.
You like what you like, period.

Well said and I agree :) +1

@Anon1999 Thanks ;)

Honestly its annoying to keep seeing this shit. Why can't people just be happy with themselves and hush? Or improve and hush?

And why do we keep talking about this?
Everyone has a different tastes obviously. 😥 its sooo repetitive

[AleDeEurope]

As long as they hush, they can think whatever they want hahaha xD

@AleDeEurope yESSS OMG

0-3 and 8. I associate fat with laziness, greed, illusionary state of mind, and insane amounts of health problems that I am not about to take care of nor pay for to validate their disgusting way of life. I'm not saying they're shitty human beings, I'm just saying that if you're gonna treat yourself like shit you don't get to speak when other people point out how much you don't care about yourself and complain about having to pay your medical bills through taxes that are better spent going towards gender equality, schooling, the environment, and the country's defecit. By eating everything in sight, for whatever reason, you are consuming and wasting government funds that could actually make positive change instead of taking care of you after you decided to fuck up your life, despite the obvious fact that everyone knows being the size of Timbuktu is bad for you and will result in severe health issues. And that is beyond selfish. And because it's so selfish and aesthetically to me it looks repugnant, I will never be involved with a fat person. Though admittedly it is mostly because of the "can't touch this" mentality, entitlement, and ego of these people.

[DaveyYourFavey]

I'd take 2,3,4 and maybe 5. But I'd consider 3 perfect. I think the majority of guys prefer curvy women. Most do want something to cuddle at night. But the fashion media can have an effect on lots of guys. Especially younger guys will be all about super skinny girls because that's what the popular girls look like and the girls in magazines. They probably recon that that's what they're supposed to desire and nothing else. Don't worry though, most guys will grow out of that but a lot of girls won't.

[Bandit74]

The whole "everyone is beautiful" things sounds really nice but it doesn't hold a lot of weight in reality. There are certain body types that will have more appeal than others. It applies to men too. Most girls don't salivate over skinny nerds or chubby guys, generally they prefer something in the middle (athletic build).

Extremes generally have the least appeal so on this chart (0,6,7,9) would have the least appeal. I can't say nobody will find them attractive but they will certainly have a smaller dating pool.

(2,3,4) probably have the most appeal, especially 3.

(1,5,8) have more appeal than (0,6,7,9) but less appeal than (2,3,4)

[oddwaffle]

2,3,4 and maybe 5 if she has a vibrant personality and pretty face. 8 is supposed to look good but this lady doesn't have enough fat on her to be healthy.

I don't like sugar coating stuff and I don't like people living in denials. People ask for honest of others but lie to themselves to keep up their pride. A person can call himself handsome but if he is fat then he is fat. He will look better with an athletic body. Whether his life will be better when he's athletic or fat is up for debate.

How you look can affect what you can do. However, what you choose to do is what defines you, not what you are.

[Anonymous]

I believe it has to do with the face. I don't understand why more people can't understand this. Body has nothing to do with it. You can have an ideal body, but if your face doesn't isn't attractive, than forget about it. You're likely not going to get a boyfriend/girlfriend. Get used to being single.

Body shaming is so wrong. I don't care if you're too skinny, or "too fat" it is very wrong to shame someones body. People can go to dangerous lengths because of that. I believe that a person should be happy with their body no matter what size. In the end, it doesn't matter if your curvy or skinny or chubby if your face is ugly.

If you have a beautiful face you can have any body you want. :)

[XhialdteonSeigmor]

If they are fat they've already gone to dangerous lengths. When will y'all get that being fat jeopardizes your health, and jeopardizing your health by choice isn't attractive. It's stupid. And it should not be protected as as an acceptable and admirable lifestyle choice. There is a big difference between fat shaming and not being a diluted imbecile trying to pass of gas and giggles like they're rainbows and cupcake sprinkles. It is bad to be fat. I'm not saying go take a bat to a fat kid and start wailing on him calling him a tub, I'm saying recognize that health is vital and raising glasses to fat is unwise and only shows you're choosing to wear blinders and act like a fool purely to not step on people's toes.

Best you can do is just accept yourself. If you hate yourself, you are unable to do things you want to do. It is harder for an overweight person to lose weight if he/she hates their body and is shamed by other people. It prevents them from going out there and doing what they want.
And what if they like being overweight? Who are we to tell them it is wrong, since it's apparently okay for models to love their bodies even though they are underweight. Healthy is relative. Depends on the person. You can't determine a healthy tiight for all people, since it depends on each's own body. And some people are unable to have certain body types. It is a fact. Yes, we can all loose weight, but we all can't look curvy or petite or slender. It depends on body structure.

Healthy weight*

[nert73]

I'm as curvy as skinny gets. I'm underweight but I do have medical situations that contribute to that. Past that, I'm just a small person. My hips are as wide, if not wider than my shoulders. My waist is tiny. My topside is fairly large when looking at my body as a whole. I'm basically the picture you have up there of curvy only skinnier. I am not anorexic, though.

[DisastrousQu33n]

It really pisses me off when people call every underweight girl anorexic, when you can have anorexia without being underweight and you can be underweight and eat as much as anyone else.

[nert73]

@DisastrousQu33n exactly!

[XhialdteonSeigmor]

Except that you can't have anorexia at any weight. By medical definition you have to have a bmi of at least 17.5 to be diagnosed with anorexia. Any higher and ypire diagnosed differently.

[XhialdteonSeigmor]

And anyone of that bmi or lower is medically diagnosed as being anorectic, no matter whether they have an eating disorder of any type or not.

[nert73]

@XhialdteonSeigmor I'm not anorexic. Did you not read the sentence where I stated I am not anorexic? My doctor made sure that as a small, underweight person that I'm not anorexic and she confirmed that I'm indeed not anorexic. Thank you.

[XhialdteonSeigmor]

I never said you were anorexic. Did you read my comments? Medically if you are under a bmi of of 17.5 you are technically anorectic. One does not need to have an eating disorder to be anorectic. all it means to be anorectic medically speaking is that you are without a significant necessary amount of body weight needed to support your brain and organs properly without potential of issue. But you don't have to do unhealthy shit to your body to get that way, some people have other medical issues that make them that way. Your doctor confirmed that you don't suffer from Anorexia Nervosa, she didn't confirm your body was not in an anorectic state -unless maybe she did because your bmi isn't at or below 17.5 meaning you don't qualify for that label.

[nert73]

@XhialdteonSiegmor so what's the point in you telling me this? I already know these things--I have two doctors watching me very closely and I've done tons of research on my own. I have no form of anorexia unless it's something new. I'm seeing your comments as nothing more than irrelevant if you're trying to refer to my opinion.

[angelofshadows131]

Well it all depends. Actually, if a guy finds a girl disgusting because she's too skinny or too fat, then that's just disrespectful. Some people have too fast or too low metabolisms. We can't help it. Yet, I guess people like what they like.

[LiveFreeorDieHard]

Oh please dont be sensitive.

[PurpleTeardrops]

@LiveFreeorDieHard
Oh please don't be an asshole.

[angelofshadows131]

@LiveFreeorDieHard if my opinion is sensitive then so be it. It's what I think.

[XhialdteonSeigmor]

Why is my comment no longer here? It's not disrespectful for someone to not want to date someone because they don't take care of themselves and have a bunch of rolls and waddle. In fact, it's disrespectful of the fat person to make themselves unhealthy. Shows they don't care about themselves as much as they should to pursue being healthy.

[TheOneAndOnlyBart]

I've never understood what women worry about when it comes to this. As long as their weight is healthy I guarantee that there are going to be men who find their body attractive. There simply isn't one specific body type that every man likes. Same can't be said for male body type. Ask a group of women which male body type they like best. I predict the vast majority will pick the same.

[Yasmine_yasmine]

I work hard for my body. I work hard to have a flat stomach and toned legs. I work hard to be healthy. I eat right, I work out. When men say they prefer "fat" women, I associate that with laziness and a nonhealthy lifestyle. And if any man wants to live that way, he isn't the man for me anyway. I do have curves; a small waist, big hips, toned legs, etc. And I'm still 110 pounds. You don't need to be fat to be curvy but fit is always going to be better than both of those.

[Some_girl3324]

Honestly I've always felt self conscious of my body type cause I thought all other people liked were skinny girls and I'm not lazy I just don't like to work out but I have done several diets to try to change my weight even though I'm considered healthy but when it comes to guys yeah my preference is a little muscular not to muscular but that's not always the case really it just depends if I find that person attractive and I don't really think I have a specific body type that I like but that's just my opinion

[Anonymous]

Am I the only one that knows that a skinny girl can be curvy and being 'plus' sized doesn't make you curvy. It is all about the hip to waist ratio.

[DisastrousQu33n]

Deserves MHO.

[AleDeEurope]

Agreed, I don't know who started all this "fat = curvy" nonesense.

[Opinion Owner]

@DisastrousQu33n thank you :D

@AleDeEurope I completely agree. It is almost trying to coin a new word for fat. It would be like skinny people making up another word for their body type.

[Goldie757]

"my belief is every girl is beautiful"

My belief is healthy girls are beautiful.

[Cjanes]

It takes all types to make the world go round however certain body types are more admired by sexual partners then others. Like right now I'm at a 3.5 body type according to the pic but I'm aiming for an 8.25

[heywhisper]

I'm bisexual and the women I'm mostly attracted to are curvy. (3) I love how feminie their bodies are.

Weirdly i'm curvy too but i dislike my body lol.

[Chezeta]

curvy, muscular and then average

[Gommers]

1-3 and 8

I take good care of myself, work my ass off to look the way I do, and expect at least eating right from my partner if nothing else. Being fat is not healthy, it will never be healthy, and it is an indicator of lower intellect.

[DisastrousQu33n]

Please don't just put a picture of an underweight girl and call her anorexic. People can be underweight without being anorexic, also there are other eating disorders. But that aside, fit girls FTW #fitfam

[DisastrousQu33n]

Oh xD also I prefer skinny girls.

[DisastrousQu33n]

I consider myself skinny, curvy, and fit. I don't have to pick one. tinypic.com/view.php?pic=34y5kkk&s=8#.VcDianPD-ms

[Dammie]

As for me i am silm or should i say thin with flat tummy and a bit of wide hip and a gap thigh with small butt but that does not mean i should look down on myself anybody that want to like me will like me for who i am so anybody can think of anything they want. Different guys have their like and dislike at least it's not every guy that has the same likes😉😉😉😉

[JamieFreek]

While it is more appealing to the eye, skinny isn't always better. Thats not to say, that I don't enjoy skinny women, quite the contrary. However, in my experience, curvy women are more eager to please. They are more loyal, and less demanding. As I said, in my experience... but women of all types need love, and so do I.
