What's so great about skinny women?

[Raesvelg]

Some people like their sexual partners to be skinny. /shrug.

That's really about all there is to be said about it on an individual basis.

 

[Semitendon]

I have a preference for thin girls with a close second being the "average" girl.

I would say the reasoning behind it is simply a matter of what I find attractive being found most often on thinner girls.

I don't like big breasts, it's wierd considering there evident popularity, but big breasts mean big sag later in life. When I think of them, I think of a woman having to throw them over her shoulder to clean the sweat cheese that has grown underneath them. Not appealing.

I prefer proportion as well, small breasts-small person, big breasts- big person. Any variations are generally unattractive, for example a small breasted fat girl, or a large breasted thin girl are equally unattractive.

I could go on in detail about the various reasons why I prefer thin over fat, but I believe the breasts example is the most easily understood.

This brings us to the concept of "average". To me, average is not thin, not fat, typically represents someone who is slightly overweight or at a size which brings the word "healthy" to mind.

The moment I can see the rib cage, I lose all interest. I know I prefer women voluptuous (My girlfriend meets that criteria perfectly)

 

[fenrizz]

I like em skinny.
Not eating disorder skinny though, mind you.

I honestly don't find fat girls attractive at all.
Mind you that there is a very huge difference between "with meat on the bones and has curves" and fat.
First one is nice, other one is disgusting.

 

[ToxicOranges]

Talking as a guy who looks as skinny as these girls, yep. Totally.

Just my type, honestly. I just don't like big girls, I prefer skinny / thin girls, but thats probably because I'm that body type anyway!

Put it this way - I can suck in my stomach and see my heart beat... I weigh about 49 kilos at about 5ft 11. So yeah. Skinny girls are my thing!

 

[alandavidson]

It's subjective. I prefer petite females. My friend likes larger women. The same goes for women's taste in men. There is no wrong answer here.

 

[the.gill123]

I don't like really skinny girls either, but I think it's because whenever I see a skinny girl, I'm reminded of very lecherous comments from my dad. Basically I think it's because skinny girls remind me of my dad, and that is DEFIANTLY not a turn on.

 

[Jadak]

Depends, there's not much that's need to be discussed so long as the person is healthy. It's only an issue if they're essentially starving themselves and are unhealthy. If they are in good health, then how could a lack of fat not be attractive?

 

[Occam]

Do a Google image search for "Lane Bryant Models"

They are "plus size models"

Clearly hideous.

That's.. Very disturbing.
No offense, but... That just isn't right.

Pffffft hahahaha!
Oh, Escapist, you've outdone yourself this time...

Being Fat does not equal unhealthy. A lack of excersize on the other hand leads to being unhealthy and usually being fat.

 

[Boris Goodenough]

Most women are at their most attractive at their natural size. You've all seen guys who are physically fit, but not muscular. There is a massive variation in the healthy size of the human body. Imagine all the characters from Team Fortress 2 trying to look like the Scout. It doesn't work, and if it did, it wouldn't be healthy.

Most women who are obese are heavier than their neutral weight index due to depression and comfort eating. As for the underweight ones, that's just creepy. Protruding pelvic bones leave bruises. If I can see your ribs, you're undernourished. If they have individual shadows, you should be hospitalized.

Then again, impressionable people will always exist, and the media shouldn't be telling them that certain weights are inherently unattractive, because everybody (and every *body*) is different. I know women who are gorgeous and weigh 200 lbs. I also know women who naturally weigh 98 lbs. My sister in-law wanted to join the Navy and had to gain 6 pounds before they'd let her join. She's not undernourished, she just has a smaller frame and fills it out differently.

Or some women just like being on the plus seize?

Also my BMI is 26 and you can see a fair few of my ribs just cleary, where do I fit into all of this?

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

So can someone please explain to me why this is attractive?

Because it's attraction. Attraction is based on what you deem to be perfect. What you deem to be perfect is influenced from a wide range of things from adverts to childhood friendships to your mother. There isn't anything wrong with being attracted to skinny girls or being attracted to girls with 'curves in all the right places' or being a chubby chaser.

I'm one of these guys whose attracted to slim girls and I don't even get it, they're just more attractive than girls with a bit more mass to them.

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Still, slim and curvy (not, "I'm-going-to-say-I'm-curvy-and-pose-in-my-underwear-when-really-I'm-fat" curvy)is my favourite way to go.

Hear, hear. One of my pet peeves is when the fashion industry uses "curvy" as a euphemism for "chubby".

Anyway, as for the OP: most of those chicks in your video do seem a bit on the bony side. I'll admit, I like small girls, but they just seemed kind of unhealthy.

Really, I'm not all that picky when it comes to body types. As long as she isn't a fatty, or far too skinny like some of the ones in that video.

A happy medium is best when it comes to female physical attributes.

 

[Red Roark]

Donno man, curves are where it's at.

 

[The Lugz]

because we're a society of extremes?

and since obesity is unattractive, therefor the complete opposite must be incredibly attractive.

A happy medium would be nice

yup..

personally i keep myself around 80kg at at-least 60% body-muscle that's nearly 50 kilos of muscle, more than some of these skinny people have body-mass
and enough fat to cycle about 400 miles ( i cycle quite a bit, i know these things )

the problem is, as you age
you begin to loose ALOT of your body muscle, these skinny people will be on hospital beds in their old age with no chance of recovery.

you can read a nice paper about it here:

[2733]

what do you want me to say? some women are attractive, some are not. If I could tell you why men and women are, or at least think they are, more attractive I wouldn't because I could take that knowledge all the way to the bank.
