how old are you

24.

Ahh, that explains it.

Care to contribute any more? What does it explain? Or are you trying to say that the older you get, the less attractive thin girls are?

No, I'm just saying that fattie hating is a pretty common trait among the kids on ATOT. Not sure how you consider yourself an oppressed minority.

That said, the older you get the more you (usually) value certain emotional characteristics, and give less weight (no pun intended) to the person having a perfect body.

I've got a great girlfriend who I totally connect with who has an attractive, thin body. I wouldn't date her if we weren't compatible. I kinda fail to see your point.

My point is, when you reach a certain level of maturity you don't dump people you "connect" with because they gain ten pounds.

I have a confession of my own to make. I didn't read through this thread.

I would just like to say that I am attracted to a broad range of women, based on a whole interlocking matrix of factors, only one of which is my physical attraction to them.

But, again, the matrix of factors are interrelated, and it is amazing how a woman's wit and intelligence, sense of humor and demonstrated kindness (not to me, too easy to fake in the beginning, but to others, like pets or kids or random others she has nothing to gain from) can make that same woman who might have been on the cusp of "teh hotness" for me look better and better and better.

I would also like to say, the basic human body types fall along a big ol'eloooooongated bell curve. The promotion of impossibly "ideal" body types is a fantasy marketing ploy designed to make you insecure and unhappy enough to buy just about anything that you think will make you feel better.

It won't.

I'm not looking for happiness in pretty girls. I just prefer them to ugly ones. My ideal body in a girl is in no way fantasy, and in no way is it impossible to acheive an attractive body.

Not on ATOT I'm afraid. If you so much as dare say you wouldn't jump at the chance to sleep with Paris Hilton/Scarlet Johanssen/JAlba, then you just get the 'As if she'd be interested' and the 'Yes you would, you're just being an asshat' type response.

I agree with your post though, it's all about taste, as you said. If I find a female attractive, there you go, I find her attractive, it doesn't matter what other people think are my reasons, hell, you may not know why yourself, fact is, you're attracted.

To instantly dismiss anyone who is overweight is a bit on the shallow side, it's just a case of complying to the BS world of political correctness and saying that you are less likely to be attracted to a fat-chick.

I personally don't find black women attractive, I don't know why, but I've yet to see a black woman that I thought, hell yeah I'd hit that. That's just my taste. That isn't shallow. If I was to say all black women are ugly then fine, that'd be (well, racist) shallow and weight/size is no different.

I know what I tend to find attractive, who cares what other people think about my tastes. Equally, I don't give a damn what other people find attractive. Sure it'd be nice if it didn't conflict with my interests ;) but that isn't going to happen...

I've reached that point already.

To me, gaining 15-30 pounds and not doing anything about it is an indicator of a lot of things other than just the weight, such as effort to work out or discipline to eat healthy. I feel like a woman who has some control over her body is a good indicator of how effective she is at taking control of her life.

Seems like I'm being criticized for my age here, but that's okay.

That's pretty thin. I agree that the whole "look at her mother to see how she'll look in 20 years" is pretty much crap.

Its not biased, its a yes or no question. If you like thin girls better, then its yes. If you don't, its no.

The poll is worthless, as the definition of "thin" and "fit" are subjective, and don't always mean the same thing.

It all depends on body type, and bone structure. Some women will never be a size 2, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are unfit, or unhealthy. Take a look at the recent thread here about size 8+ models.

Don't apologize for your personal preferences, though. You make your own decisions in life.
Just try to keep an open mind, you don't want to miss out on the girl of your dreams just because she's put on an extra few pounds over the holidays or something.

Me, I prefer 'em just a bit curvy (not fat, just curvy). I'm bordering on underweight, and have a few girlfriends who were also skinny. It was like two skeletons clacking together when we'd go at it. ;)

Ok, this is the lay of the land.

For a companion, pick someone who is most COMPATIBLE with you.

For a ph|_|ck, pick who is most ATTRACTIVE to you.

Attraction is purely physical.

Compatibility HAS a physical component which by no means is the most weighted factor(no pun intended)

For instance, I fell in love with a size 11 girl bc of who she is. I had sex with a hundred pound girl for what she looked like.

By the way, the girl I feel in love with now runs and eats healthily. She is a size four now and a lot happier because of her new lifestyle which INCLUDES working out.

If you want pics, maybe I can sneak a couple today of her:)

That's awesome that she's healthy now.

I don't think its too much to ask to find BOTH physical attraction and compatibility from the start though, do you?

No, not at all. and saying you cannot have both is pretty stupid, IMO. Just because a girl is thin, does not mean she does not have any "substance" to her.

Agreed. My GF and Lola are examples! Thin and fit healthy relationships FTW!

You can have both easily. My first love, go go highschool love, was both. A perfect match physically and mentally at the beginning and stayed such. She ran and did other exercises. She played soccer and danced. Basically she has always done something to stay in shape. She does well in school still to this day. I got lucky with that one relationship. You can find both but, it is a truly unique individual to take that kind of responsibility for themself, they are hard to come by.

They can be thin / fit, but dammit, they need to know how to eat. I hate people who or so obsessed with their weight and what they eat that they don't even enjoy eating any more.

that is so sad. Eating disorders start that way and it is really sad.
Although, the world i have found is divided into two groups: Those that live to eat and the others simply eat to live.

I agree with the OP. NO FAT CHICKS.

I also won't date any chicks that have kids. There is just something not right with a chick in her early 20s single with a kid. I'm 23, I don't want kinds of my own let alone have to deal with some deadbeats kid.





I don't think being NOT FAT and having no kids is too much to ask for is it?

Its not biased, its a yes or no question. If you like thin girls better, then its yes. If you don't, its no.

there's a difference between fit and thin... a big one.

Evangeline lilly = fit AND thin.

Grey's anatomy girl = thin (and sickly).

vollyball girls = thick and fit... and uber fine. :)



^^^ thus why your poll is biased... I am not gonna vote cuz I don't like thin sickly looking girls. But I am very into fit girls like lilly and vb girls.
