POLL: Do men think women w/ curves or a little "junk in their trunk" are sexy?

[Kosher Ham]

Thing is No_ Pressure, Several of us have stated that how you carry the weight makes a big difference.

I'm sorry but a 5-1, 210 pound woman is not physically attractive. She might have a amazing face and be an amazing person...but the poll seems to be about preference and ideal. That's not ideal to me. But we could be friends without benefits.

A little chubby is fine (no gut though), thick is fine, curvy is fine.
Sturdy and above...not so much.

Ahhh...forgot about the Serena thing. I wouldn't be attracted to her because she has a weave. Not cute to me.

Own who you are and do you, for you. Not for others. She does that and I don't hate it...I am just not attracted to most fake stuff on people. ie: nails. hair, eyelashes (in the daytime), too much makeup, etc.
Some guys like that stuff, it doesn't work for me.

EDIT: But yes his post was a little too harsh on the girl. I do think she is attractive besides the fake hair.

ok, I have a question for you. Could you post pics of women who are: curvy, chubby, and fat?

It's funny b/c everyone's definition of each is so different.

I can if you need me too. But most of the time you can just see their face. Seriously.

A curvy girl still has a slender face.
A chubby girl has a broader thicker face.
A fat girl has a fat face. Rolls all the way up her neck.

Now sometimes people get fooled on social media sites and such like my buddy...the girl has an amazing face and such....but she is bottom heavy...that still just fits in with the chubby girl thing though, not fat.

I will post some pics though so you know what I mean.

Maybe we should just use the BMI scale to determine who's average, bigger, obese,etc.

.

But I thought men and women can't be friends?

I think it's great that so many guys like average size girls...or, actually, it's great they realize that the average, healthy size is not a 0 (for most girls).

I also think there's an issue with the pics you've chosen Brandy. I agree with you in that most of the curvy girls up there are beautiful (I think the spandex thingy that the first girl is wearing is super unflattering, though), but I also think you're missing pictures of girls who have curves, but are smaller than the other girls. And the skinny pics you posted are of girls who look like they have eating disorders, which I don't really expect anyone to like. My brother's girlfriend is tiny, but her body is just naturally that way.



But this is a pretty good comparison, though the middle girl seems to be skinnier than curvy, but I think they all look pretty healthy and attractive.

[big#44]

Thats more like it. The typical Americans weight has ballooned so much over the last 30 years that being "average" today isnt what it once was. The diet and exercise of the average american is atrocious.

[pjfootballer]

That's fine. You can think whatever you want about my message.

I will note, however, the irony in your very post where you say this is more of a media issue, than a individual comment issue...then go on to eviscerate how Serena William looks, calling her names like "fugly," "nasty," and "mannish bodybuilder"

I don't think I need to say much more to prove my point

Well, that is my personal preference just about her and nobody else. I'm sure you could find a guy who you think is fugly or feminine looking and criticize. Serena is a very athletic woman who is obviously in great shape. I never said she is fat. But her looks just don't appeal to me. I mean, we all have our "type" that we like and Serena is just not the type of woman I find attractive.

I did say that I like the other women in his list and they aren't exactly perfect 10s.

Yeah, I agree. The Serena comments weren't nice at all. Imagine a 15 year old girl being called names like that by people and how she would feel.

I'd never say that to a 15 year old, but Serena is a grown woman and a celebrity/sports figure.

And nice of you two to nit-pick my Serena comments when another post of mine on the same page was pretty good to women.

I like them between curvy and thin, but not real thin. My type is in the photo with the 4 women, 3rd from the left, dark hair, black bathing suit. My wife is 5-7 and would look anorexic at less than 120lbs. She usually looks good between 130 and 145 lbs. I think (just guessing) she's around 140 right now. But my wife is the type that she can carry an extra 10 pounds and you can't really tell. But I've never had an issue with her weight. She's a latin girl born in Peru, South America.

Ok, see I think the top pic you posted shows what I think the "average" or "normal" female looks like. IMO, the bottom pic, the one on the far left is definitely thin, middle is thin w/ a little curve to her, and the one on the right is what I would consider to be "curvy" but not overweight.

Wah?

The one on the right *isn't* overweight?

[big#44]

The one in the middle is probably the healthiest looking and most normal. She may be thin compared to the average American, but biologically she's probably at ideal weight.

[brandymac27]

It's just funny how everyone's definitions of curvy or overweight differ. I'm not a skinny chic. I guess I would consider myself to be chubby with curves. But the thing is, I'm really comfortable with myself. I like the way I look, curves and all, and personally, think I look pretty damn good . I would rather look like ME than a skinny girl who has no curves (boobs, hips, flat butt, etc). I think curvy women look a lot more feminine than skinny women (like the girl on the left in the bottom pic that skinsgirl posted or the ones in the OP).

I'm using "overweight" instead of "fat" b/c 1- she's not fat, and 2- some people are offended by the word.

Are you saying you think she's fat?

[MLSKINS]

Some would say that both are offensive. That is why I stick to plus-size.... Unfortunately, some people think that is offensive too.

Reading through some of the responses in this thread should put to rest any question about why young girls these days groow up with serious body image/self-esteem issues.

I'm not sure how anyone was supposed to respond to brandymac's question without discussing their preferences in body type.

[Destino]

There is a great deal more involved than something being physically beautiful when it comes to be sexy. There is also a great deal more involved with being beautiful than simply weight. Being that the thread is on weight alone I will say that anything in the healthy zones are fine with me. Too skinny or too fat doesn't do it for me especially if the feminine curves of the female form are lost. A little muscle tone isn't bad either In order to stand out as sexy however they have to possess that bizarre spark of something that I have never been able to describe.

It isn't ideal to me either. Do you ever see a woman who you aren't attracted to, but who you recognize as being beautiful or at least not too bad looking? There are plenty of types of women who I'm not attracted to but who I wouldn't define as bad looking. Personal preferences differ so much from person to person that it's impossible to really define what is ideal other than what is ideal to you and the majority of people in society. I guess what I'm saying is that I see plenty of people who I do not find attractive, but who I understand are likely appealing to plenty of people, or at at the very least who wouldn't be classified as ugly. I never said it had to be your preference or ideal, and I said that generally looks will be good at a wide range of weights. I have my limits and so do you. Other people's limits will be tighter, others will be much more broad. Do we call someone who we recognize as appealing to others but not to us "sexy" hmm...I don't really know.

I think this gets back to what I was saying in the latter portion of my post. I find a lack of confidence unattractive, as I'm sure most people probably do- whether its a chunky girl who doesn't think she's beautiful to a skinny girl who is always afraid she's not pretty enough. The same goes for people who feel the need to fake themselves up for the approval of others.
