Because I don't like skinny women lol. Or at least not what society labels as skinny, which to me look more like gaunt, famine victims than actual attractive women. Sure I like slim or fit girls, but I also have a thing for girls who actually look healthy and have enough breast/hip/thigh on them to look sexy to me.
My girlfriend is Colombian and yeah...let's just say she doesn't have that nasty looking mile wide gap between her legs, her butt is to die for, and her breasts make my mouth water. She's not fat or thick, because I don't even really know what those mean anymore. She's normal, with a normal amount of weight on her, and she still gives me butterflies.
So I'll ask YOU a few questions: Why do people (such as yourself) have such a hard time separating your own, passionate opinions from the experiences of others? Why do you refuse to believe anything other than what you're expecting to hear? Why are you so wrapped up with what you see on TV, in magazines, or wherever you're getting this stuff from? Why are you dictating what you think I like? Why is it that when a guy complains like this people tell him to work on his issues...but people get offended if I were to tell you to work on yours? And lastly: do you realize that being militant about this topic is actually blinding you from not only taking people as they come AND not only realizing that you have to either be confident with YOU or change it to what YOU want, but also it makes you an extremely negative person not worth being around anyway?
I'll tell you the truth. I'm attracted to skinny girls, really attracted to fit girls. But certain area's I like to be, I guess you can say a bit bigger and there is a such thing as too skinny. Like the girls waist can be skinny but I find it attractive when here hips go out, basically a nice butt if you want me to be forward. Also thigh's, thigh's that are a little bigger isn't a bad thing, specially nice toned thighs. Find it more attractive then skinny thighs. But in all honesty personality means a lot and some guys are attracted to more big curvy girls like my brother. Nothing wrong with that, but its all I noticed he'll date. Everyone has there own opinion to what attracts them but a majority I would say are like me. But personality means a lot more then all of that!
First of all, everyone has different definitions of the word "skinny." So if I guy says he likes skinny women, that could honestly mean different things.
The other problem is the media, the portrayal of women, and different perceptions. So a guy might say he "likes curvy girls," but by curvy he means a girl with big boobs, a big butt, BUT a flat stomach. Personally, I would consider a girl with a flat stomach to be skinny, but again, that's my perceived definition.
It's kinda like when guys say they like girls with no make-up: what they mean is they like girls with minimal/natural looking makeup. Guys don't always realize that "the natural look" still means wearing cover-up, maybe a touch of brown eyeliner, etc. That's because in media, girls wear make up all the time- I've seen TV shows where the girl characters are wearing make up to bed! It's subtle, and natural looking make up, but still make up.
But the point is, that "Skinny" and "curvy" and "fat" all have different meanings to different people, and if a guy says he likes curvy girls even though he dates someone you think is skinny, the guy is not lying- he honestly believes that he likes curvy girls, based on his definition.
I know its hard with media portrayal of skinny girls being considered the most beautiful, but not all guys feel the same way. I have guy friends who prefer all kinds of women.
Because men don't "only like skinny women." There are men who like all different female body types. There are plenty of men who have preferences (either for skinny, "thick," small, or bigger), there's nothing wrong with that.
However, I've actually experienced the opposite. I'm skinny, A cup, long legs, small-ish butt, and most men I've talked to prefer women who are a bit bigger (in the chest, hips, and thighs area). I would venture to say that most men actually prefer "thicker" women who have large breasts and hips yet a small waist. That's okay though, it doesn't bother me, my boyfriend likes my body type and that's all that matters. My point is, different guys are attracted to different things and that's okay.
You can't please everyone, all you can do is be happy with yourself. In the end, your opinion of yourself is the only opinion that truly matters.
i don't think I am skinny...(I used to be :P) I was a bulimic.. I am just healthy now not fat or obese and my boyfriend likes me the way I am and he hates stick thin girls. So if by skinny you mean hos stick thin girls who try to ape the high fashion models ...well what can I say according to me and my boyfriend that looks pretty digusting and yea at the same time over weight/obese people look disgusting too. One should just be healthy.Eat right and exercise right and live a long healhty life

"Only like skinny women?"
I have a problem with that question because I've seen plenty of non-skinny women with partners who care for them very much. There are plenty of studies that show that a woman's perception of an ideal size is smaller than what most guys see as an ideal size link The media and other women have a bigger impact on women's perceptions of themselves than any man will ever have. It is not just skinny or obese.There are plenty in between who need loving too.
Not all guys are built like models and most of us know so we go for and appreciate everyday girls. Those guys who are continuously going for the skinny girls are not winning and will need to "redefine their standards"
I hate that picture. People always bring it up but it's so wrong on every level. The size 4 -6 is more a 2-4 the size 12, maybe a 6 but not bigger, and the size 16 would maybe be a 12. In American dress sizes.
Second of all it's photoshopped. In particular the last one, that is not what a bigger woman looks like. They basically photoshopped away all the signs of excess fat except actual circumference
Its UK sizing, not US, and yes, its women who carry the weight unusually well. People might vote differently if they weren't partly turned as well ... and the middle woman is just straight up beautiful
Because not all guys like skinny girls. Every one prefers something different.
I understand you're probably upset or... angered or you feel slighted by the media and the perception of what men want. But reality is far from what the TV and magazines and everything tries to convince us is true.
You are beautiful. Just look at you. You are truly a wonder, something amazing. Stunning.
It doesn't matter what fashion and popular culture say men want- it's just not true. Everyone is different, every one has preferences that are as varied as types of bacteria in the universe.
It's not a cop out if it's true. There's a reason people who look so wildly different all find people who love them just the way they are. I think it's wildly ignorant and dismissive and aragant to look at someone and say, "Wow he/she is so ugly". Everyone is considered ugly to someone. But the reverse is more true- every one is considered beautiful to someone, even if it's just me. People are beautiful. Look at how complex and different we are. Look at how unique, individual we are. It's amazin
I guess it depends on what you mean by the word "skinny." I personally would not use the word "skinny" to describe someone who was healthy. To me, the word sounds like something I would only use to describe someone who was thin to the point of being sickly, unhealthy, with visible bones. Like the level you can only reach through malnourishment. That being said, my personal preference is for girls who are athletically built, with the level of muscle tone you can only get through regular strenuous exercise. Not just going for a morning jog and doing pilates or yoga, either. That being said, that's my personal preference.
From my experience with men and relationships, many men out there prefer "normal, curvy, attractive bodies," not just "skin and bone." There are men who find "pleasingly big booties" are sexy and appealing, along with their thick wastes and large boobs too. And the men who love a woman, will accept them no matter what shape they are in. You also have the guys who like to look twice at some hot tamale either out there or on a p*rn flick.
I wouldn't say "skinny is in," but neither is "pleasingly plump", either.
Well what's wrong with liking skinny women? I'm just as deserving of being loved for my body than a woman who may be curvier. Plus there are definitely men out there who do like curvier ladies. Questions like this come off as a huge insult towards girls like me who are naturally skinny. There's nothing to admit here. Everyone has their own preference and that is normal and fine.
Skinny meaning not fat? Fat = unhealthy. Unhealthy = someone that does not love, adore and respect themselves. I want more in a lover and a friend. I want someone to get old with and someone to have fun with as long as I could. Also it is just my preference to be attracted to fit women. I cannot help my preference. The woman could be 5 or 10 pounds underweight and even 30 or so pounds overweight but anything over or way over that just doesn't do it for me. If you are a big woman and happy with that then good for you I just can't say that big is my thing.
I like slim girls, I'm not one to bullshit... I don't mean so skinny that I'd fear they might get blown away, but there seems to be a general average and I'd consider that to be 'slim'. And in terms of 'curves' I like girls with wide hips, doesn't mean they have to weight 200lbs.
Judging from my personal experiences and observations, I'd say the majority of men actually are more into the curvy type rather than the skinny type. Which absolutely makes sense to me, cause those really skinny girls often don't look very feminine anymore. But anyways, this is just my observation.
i have observed the same
well I do, in fact I like borderline anorexic sometimes if not full on bulimic, but that's just me, most guys want someone slender, too skinny can be a turn off for many guys.
But even if I do like skeletons, I still want their face to look healthy. some women are skinny because of drugs, so their face looks old and mess up and that doesn't look good at all no matter how well their cloth fit
"border line anorexic if not full on bulimic"
god.
did you read the last part?
Bulimic women are sometimes bigger...
"skinny' means different things to different people.
I probably tend more towards slim women then the average male. Compared to what most women who self-identify as curvy think, I like skinny women.
Compared to what women obsessed with models think, I like women with a bit of curve.
I like the appearance of lots of women. Disliking fat women isn't the same as only liking skinny women. Not fat doesn't mean skinny.
People have gotten so fat lately that 'skinny' has acquired a new meaning.
'Skinny' genuinely means what it sounds like: a little unhealthy, at best.
However, nowadays women often use 'skinny' to mean anyone who isn't overweight.
I like healthy women, not just for their looks, but because it's a reflection of personality. I don't want to be with a woman who doesn't value life enough to keep herself healthy.
I like a little meat on a girls bones sometimes you women take the diet thing to far and it looks unnatural I don't like obsess girls because its unhealthy and can lead to serious problems. But I don't like super skinny girls either I like a medium in between not skinny but not fat either.
Nope. I dislike skinny women. I rather that they do a bit of exercise, have a little meat on their arms and calves.
Incidentally, girls who enjoy eating are easy to hang out with (so many choices for eating) and when you hug them they feel so soft and cuddly.
But again, if she is fat, I dislike that too. Moderation please.
Im fat and I agree. Don't waste your time if you like skinny girls. Don't get me wrong I want to be slim myself. Even though I am trying to lose weight my goal is to be slim with curves. Clothes look better on fit bodies whether that be pear or hourglass, etc. makes me feel desirable. I hate,hearing those lies on here. The,love of my life loves me the way I am. Look at the bigger picture.
Depends on what you mean by skinny. I am not attracted to fat women, but I don't like skeletons either. The media shows skinnier women, than men actually like, because they are trying to sell things to women. Just like how muscle magazines promote products that show pictures of guys that are bigger than women like, when selling to men.
I like every girl who is sweet and who I feel comfortable with. And if I see or hear a girl who would get anorexia to look pretty, I feel sick.
If you ask me how you look best, skinny or "just healthy", number two please!
Think is, not Every guy in the universe like skinny women. I saw this YouTube video asking what type of girls they would go for (weightwise) and there were a couple men who said they liked bigger women.
The older I get, the less I care about looks. I have met so many girls who I wasn't attracted to until they spoke to me. Once I get an understanding of their personality, who knows how I will feel about them.
Wow, that tends to be a female characteristic. Or at least, that's the way it is with me. I find myself initially attracted to good looking men but since I'm not some beautiful, skinny babe anymore they don't find me attractive. However, a couple years ago I started spending time with a guy I initially did not find attractive. In the end, I grew to love him. He, on the other hand, loved spending time with me but couldn't keep his pecker up because of my weight. (He was also an alcoholic though.)
yeah its amazing how much I have matured in the past couple of years. I wasn't attracted to the last two girls I fell for until I got to know them.
The guys on this site have various taste in physique of woman. Where is this rage coming from, Lana?
Why are you so bothered about this if you are married to someone who finds you stunning?
Really skinny is not that nice, it's like dating a skeleton but girls who are "curvy" or a little "chubby" are probably the best: any fat rolls or anything is disgusting though.
I've been attracted to skinny girls, small girls, tall girls, curvy girls, and fit girls. Glad you found someone who is attracted to you. That's what I want out of life, too.
I don't find skinny girls to be the most attractive.
All I know is that a negative comment about physique is always source of insecurities : no matter how much you weight.
Yeah I find skinny women attractive. I don't find every thin woman attractive. There are plenty of curvy women I find attractive too but I don't find every girl like that attractive.
I like a middle ground between fat and anorexic personally. So yes, I do like skinny women as long as they're not anorexic
No we don't really. And that's the truth. Whether or not you choose to accept it is irrelevant
I'm thinkin of somethin in the Serena Williams range.
So you want someone who will throw you around the bedroom a little huh
It depends on several factors, but yes I prefer skinny. Most because I'm not much bigger than the average girl myself so it feels awkward if the girl is bigger. I have liked some chubby girls though, but it's not common.
It is indeed the truth! I love the look of a skinny female, although they are not always nice people! Fat girls really look like crap. I wish all girls were skinny!
Some guys have a fetish for bigger women. Like my dad, cause my mum is really fat haha I hope she doesn't see this... ._.
Loool o. o
Because maybe we don't all like skinny women. You can't put every guy in the universe in the same category
someone's in a bad mood aren't they
i find SOME skinny girls attractive. That's why I never say that I like skinny girls.
36-26-36. That's what I like. Maybe add one or 2 on the 3rd measurement.
I don't. But then I've never been so stupid or arrogant as to try and speak for an entire gender.
Because often people look at you like a bad person when you say that. I dont comment on peoples bodies anymore as I've learnt it usually just offends people which isn't what Im trying to do.
Im pretty average weight myself, yet my ex married his ex who is literally triple the size of me..
Nope, no curves, no woman. You can't know anyway
I like thin women- skinny makes me think of anorexic.
I definitely don't like fat girls, but girls who are a little bigger can be sexy too for sure
The guys on here lie alot. Although I have seen that some guys like curves.
I don't like skeletons. I like healthy women...
I like a woman with some curves
because blanket statements never work
I only find girls who are in shape attractive.
