But most importantly, I'll lmao at you guys as I strut down the runway next weekend at SF and on mags whilst living a healthy and comfortable life. 😉

Runway next weekend at SF, eh? That's easily within driving distance of me. Where will you be?
 
Everyone has preferences but WTF is up with these threads? Jeez

My first "gf" was pretty skinny. My last gf is just perfect. 5'8 and the perfect amount of curves in the right places. meat on her bones, but not an ounce over weight. 😀 two other women i was interested in were slightly larger by ratio.. they would probably be considered chubby by some, maybe even "fat" by the looks of people here... but they were both attractive, and any guy here would hit 'em in a hearbeat (not with a baseball bat).

but, as specified earlier, my last gf had just the perfect shape.. mmmm

😉 My thread is a mockery of the "fat" thread. They don't want fat girls and they don't want skinny girls. I've seen what they call fat, and that excludes everyone that's not almost anorexic. Yet they don't want those girls either.

I'm not making assumptions; I certainly understand that there will be a lot of women who have no problem dating a shorter guy, for example. I mentioned height as an example because I have heard this from a number of women directly when they have discussed their own preferences, and feel comfortable enough to generalize and assume that this particular preference applies to a significant percentage of the female population.

By the way, I agree with you on your comments regarding "curviness". If you're thin, but have the butt and the boobs and the hourglass figure, more power to you, provided you're healthy. Personally, I'm more attracted to women on the thinner side, provided she's not too thin.
 
A certain level of looks matters, but a guy's also gotta take into consideration (at least if he's looking for more than a one night stand) - after sex, is this someone I'll ever wanna talk to, or am I just gonna roll over and sleep until I'm horny again?

I'd rather date an "average" girl with something between the ears than some midget weirdo with her ribcage showin' who finds MTV to be her number one music and news source. 🙂

I have to agree there. It's not a big deal to me, but I know most girls like having a guy taller than them. Many reasons - they feel protected, it's the Hollywood ideal, it keeps other guys away, the list goes on. It's a lame criteria, IMO. Seriously, for me, it's all about what goes on inside the head. I think, often, that affects what's changeable on the outside (weight, for example). I'm not gonna fuss about what's not changeable.

Maybe I'm mistaken but I coulda sworn you said in another random thread you had a high metabolism? If thats the case, you would need to eat healthy and consume at many calories as you burn a day so you dont lose weight. Now depending on how fast that metabolism is, you might not really have to work out unless of course you want to add muscle and some tone. Since you're a "model" that wouldnt really matter right? Its more looks than muscle and tone?

Why isnt Astaroth's assumption fair? Doesn't the majority of women prefer taller guys? Even though they have dated shorter men, but if all things are equal wouldnt women pick the taller guy? There was a 20/20 report a while back with John Stossel, where a random test was conducted. It consisted of like 20 or 30 women picking just by first sight whether or not they would day Man A or Man B. The conclusions was that no one(I believe) picked the short guy (I forget A or B). He wasn't any uglier or less attractive but when asked the women couldn't exactly quantify really why they chose the taller guy over the shorter one.

Now my memory is a little foggy about that 20/20 report, so if anyone remembers exactly help me out 🙂. The sample size is small but could there be a biological explanation? Possibly from the beginning of man the females are "conditioned" to prefer the bigger(ie taller) males since they could possibly be stronger; have a higher chance of producing surviving offspring; or be a dominant part of the societal structure since they are bigger and stronger.

In all seriousness, a majority of the guys that say no to fat chicks would take whatever they could get.

So true.

To me, extreames are not good.

I'm a heavier set guy who is trying to lose weight and really when it all comes down to it apperances count for very little. Sure at first that is what may attract you but you really have to get to know the person to judge if you want to go further.

Aquaman...you're not heavy set...you're a whole bunch a hunk a hunk of burning love😉🙂
 
sure why not, lara flynn boyle is probably a decent example of a skinny person. not ok to rag on fat people, but its ok to rag on the skinny eh? 😛
 
Of course I'd date a skinny girl...just like everyone else here, not "too" skinny, but I like them thin, in shape, caring about how they look.

among other things. 😉
 
I've dated skinny and chubby, or should one say "full-figured".

My wife is beautifully in the middle. In all honesty I can say that personality, within reason, is what has always attracted me into a relationship.

NPR has been doing a series on human sexuality. They were excerpting from a study, part of which concluded that people are most attracted to those they feelmatch their approximate attractiveness. That is to say, using a scale from one to ten, a Six person, though able to recognize and admire the tens out there, would be most attracted to and persue another six.

Interesting stuff, stupid threads. 😉

water seeks its own level, there's generally no need to counter-balance stupidity.

You know, I always love threads like this. It's the thread where you find all of the most assuming people. I mean, just look at what I learned from the majority of intelligent AT male members, and coincidentally people who like to boast about their IQs:

1) Skinny = Anorexic
2) Skinny = No curves

Now, I love this, you know. It's Darwinism in a different form, for that way skinny women don't have to deal with dumb a**es.

And ironically, these are the same guys that have posters of skinny actresses and models everywhere. Amazing.

Furthermore, they evade the question when they could easily have said, yes or no. As if the original poster would expect anyone to intentionally date unhealthy people at the risk of death (i.e., anorexics or extremely obese persons), with a few exceptions. Only a few men here have a sense of reality, cared to answer the question straightforwardly without presuming.

On that note: no problem here. We skinny women--who also happen to have the curves that you assume we can't have--find our men with great physique. You think our times are wasted when we play volleyball or any other sport or walk the runway? Don't be fooled, geeks. I'll be lmao as I eat healthy and stay skinny and in shape.

Note, the above statements were not directed at anyone in particular. Furthermore, the author makes no universal statement about all men at AT. The above statements are limited to those that subscribe to the questioned generalisations.

P.S.: Astaroth33, don't make assumptions. I am a tall woman (6' 1"), yet I dated someone shorter than I. And I mean significantly shorter. It is only recently that my rules began.

i'd date you, if thats what you're asking 😀
 
Sh!t, I loves me a big nell carter lookin chick with a body like a 2 liter.

Just kidding.

I don't date women who are beyond chubby pushing obese. I don't have anything against them, I just don't find it attractive. I don't buy into the the whole pop culture heroin chic look either though -- not saying I wouldn't date a really skinny girl, since I'm really skinny myself, but I don't have unreasonable standards. I used to, and then my ex got pregnant. I learned to appreciate other qualities besides tight abs. For me now, its all about the hips!

I'm going to try this in the name of science.
 
Sure. I've got no problems with dating people I don't find all that attractive. And to what Geekbabe said, I definitely concur. I'm not going to date somebody who has physical features that I don't find attractive and then berate her and whine about them all the time. I guess that's because I'm not a jerk.

Besides, I'm skinny. Do girls date skinny guys? I'm guessing they do.

While physical attraction usually plays a role in the initial introductions, ultimately it comes down to personality when figuring out whether somebody's "dateable." But until I actually spend enough time with a girl, I don't know whether she's a "cutie with a booty trying to get a Gouchi" or if she's genuine. But yeah, every girl -- and every guy, for that matter -- can be my friend if they want to. I don't rate my guy friends on a scale of 1 to 10 according to looks, and I treat women with the same respect. That said, every once in awhile there'll be a girl who'll catch my eye and I'll think "Whoah, she's hot," but ultimately, most of the girls I develop relationships with I find to be attractive only after getting to know them a bit more. After meeting them and talking with them for awhile, I become more physically attracted *after* I begin to respect her for her other qualities.

So to answer your question, I find it more attractive in a girl who is secure in herself and how she looks than in what she actually looks like. Besides, when girls get old and their faces get wrinkly, they're not physically attractive anymore in my book, yet marriage is forever. So if dating is in any way a precursor to marriage, it has to encompass a whole lot more than whether or not a girl is skinny.

But if it bothers guys that much, after a girl gets pregnant, she loses a lot of her skinniness. So the solution is to just marry the skinny ones and get her pregnant if you don't like her skinny. Either that or buy her a lot of chocolate.

Lol,any man who understands the importance of chocolate in relationships is bound to be a hit with the ladies🙂
 
As far as i've seen, your own weight is a factor in what you think is fat or skinny. I'll think a girl is on the heavy side (i'm 5'11 and 135) and my friend wont know what i'm talking about (hes almost my height, 80 lbs more than me). But then again there are always exceptions

"they"?

no, you're just generalizing the opinion of some of the more vocal people.
