Do Men Really Prefer Skinny Women?

Chen Salis
The media gives the illusion that men prefer super skinny women. This simply isn't true. Ask a few random guys about what they find attractive in a woman. Their answers might surprise you. I asked my boyfriend why if he would find me more attractive if I were really skinny. He said "No." I asked him "Why don't men like really skinny women?" He told me that first of all, men are afraid to break things and a size 0 girlfriend is unappealing because she appears to be fragile, and frail and often sickly. What guy wants to hurt his skinny little girlfriend?

Men are visual creatures, we all know. Large breasts and nice rear ends are almost always preferred. My boyfriend says it is not just a visual thing. It is more about the touch of a larger breast, it is more fun to play with a handful or two!

Historically larger women have been treated as sexual beauties. In earlier times, very skinny people were poor. They couldn't afford to eat, obviously.
Most men will prefer a voluptuous female figure to a size 0 or 2. However, this doesn't mean you should feel bad if you are very thin. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Everyone has qualities and traits that make them beautiful and sexy! Regardless of your size, you are in your own way, gorgeous! I think that the media gives the wrong idea to young women. You should never starve yourself to be thin, healthy dieting isn't a problem, but you are probably fine the way you are! What makes every woman great is : We all can't be a runway super model. Our unique personalities and bodies make us sexy. Chances are what you think is a major flaw is probably really sexy to your partner! I always think my butt is big, and I hate it. My boyfriend always laughs and tells me my butt is perfect. What I consider a flaw is perfection in his eyes... Go figure!

We should be happy with who we are, and if we can and want to make improvements, we should do that with diet and exercise in healthy steps! The fact is everyday men like a healthy curvy woman. Men also like a woman they can play with, and eat with. My boyfriend and I share a secret candy addiction. If I were 15 pounds lighter, I would probably have to give up my candy addiction to maintain my weight.

    I am ashamed for the way I look...

    5' 10" with a a bust of 29, waist 24 and hips 32...

    I'm only age 15, and how the #$%$ is that attractive!?

    I do not starve myself, I was born this way...

    And you're right, no one likes stick#$%$ girls like me.

    I've been criticized by boys all the time, and I don't understand why none of them told me to pull the trigger to my head yet if they so desperately hate the way I look all the time.

    I dare a man on here to say that I should end my life because of the way I look, I'm accepting this challenge!

    My measurements are 34G-26-42, and am told quite often that my butt is big. I cannot help that, but I do exercise alot which is why my legs are very muscular. Since buying clothes to fit me is nearly impossible, I have to have most of them tailored.

    I would have to agree with the anonymous person on here. In addition, skinny women are easier to lift and their clothes do not cost as much. I usually meet skinny women who have large natural breasts.

    I like skinny women to a point. Breast size doesn't matter to me as long as there is something there.

    I wish I had your boyfriend!!! Mine had an anorexic ex girlfriend and thinks her figure was great! I've seen a picture and she is so bony it looks painful!
