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

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Fair enough. I do my best not to be "that guy" on the internet (or in the real world). Heavy women have a hell of a tough time in our society, and women who are just unattractive at any weight have it even worse.

However, when the thread is a question (by a woman poster) about men's version of their ideal body type in a woman, well, that's what we are going to get in the discussion.

Plus, everyone keeps jumping on me, just because I think Olivia Wilde is sexier than Kim Kardashian. Sue me, neither of them is realistic for the average woman. Just like I am not suddenly going to turn into George Clooney overnight.

good post

no matter what, a topic like this going to offend somebody.

I feel like a person likes who they like and shouldn't have to tailor their answer to be PC

I just remembered that I posted something regarding this topic a couple of months ago in the Random Thought Thread about Kate Upton...

SEMI-NSFW CONTENT POSTED BELOW!!!

Did you know that humans are 80% genetically identical to cows? Well, allow me to prove it to you…



Guess who?! Yes, it’s the lovely Kate Upton, confidently lumbering up a runway like there’s a buffet at the end of it. Now, there’s nothing wrong with an average girl like Kate being confident. She’s pretty, she bangs down the runway like she owns it, and I totally commend her for her bravery.

Fairer views of Kate in the same outfit are here:



And I still ask: what the heck? Has fashion become this? Well – we know it hasn’t, so let’s not pretend this is fashion. She looks thick, vulgar, almost pornographic – and she is a solid 30 lbs too heavy for this outfit.

It's stuff like this that irks me when people talk about a woman figure.

Well, being considerate and not a fratboy azzhole is not just "being PC."

I prefer brunettes to blondes. Dark eyes to blue eyes. Slim rather than curvy. All that is fine. It's just how I see beauty.

But when I start talking about "sloppy fat loads, disgusting, har har beached whale chicks" then I am doing something completely different.

Remember, this is the internet, where women get held to impossible standards. A place where this person got criticized for her looks:



After she replaced this guy:



So we need to be aware of what women are up against, at least a little bit.

Everyone's ideals are different. And we are highly conditioned by what we see around us. My wife is a highly competitive runner as are many of her friends that we hang out with. Through this conditioning, 'Normal' for me in a 40-something year old woman are killer legs and butt, six-pack abs and the tits (unless they've had surgery) of a skinny boy . Here's an example from a recent race ... (yes, it was a costumed race, or to be more specific a 'nearly naked' race as a fund raiser.

The fashion industry exists in its own disgusting little bubble certain that its imagined value justifies the terrible behavior. A great many industries are demonized that aren't nearly as bad.

I gotta tell ya, I do like that body type, and it ages really well too.

Bu you better batten down the hatches and prepare for the incoming storm from the rest of the Tailgate

The Upton article kind of glossed over the real problem... no one could have looked good walking around in that "outfit" because it was butt-ugly (and made the butt look ugly). Upton is not my ideal body type, but she is still stunning, and anything that can make her look even remotely unattractive is some really bad fashion.

I agree ... in that outfit she appears to have enough fat for it to bunch up in a roll. And her ass and boobs are hanging out. I certainly don't buy the "30lbs too heavy line", but the outfit does look **** on her.

I like the curves. I cannot stand looking at women that are super thin. Unfortunately, this is what my wife thinks I like. She is the same size as the woman in the middle on post #95. She does not believe me when I say that I like that size. She thinks I like the super skinny women. In fact, I like the woman on the right better than the one on the left. The one on the right has a nice looking face and is confident enough to wear that outfit while her picture is taken. I like that.

I like junk in the trunk as long as it does not look like 12 cheeseburgers.

The more I work out the more I like athletic women. But, honestly, I really like a woman with a great face and great attitude. If you have those two things, I could hang out with you all day every day.

I also really like confident women. Women that lack confidence are a real turnoff for me.

Kenya Moore is another one, altho her body is completely perfect.

[Bishop Hammer]

I don't care about a girls race, religion, political affilation, or nationality. The only qualities I look for in a bird is nice personality; a good heart; an awesome personality; a pretty smile....and big butt!

I really don't have a favorite body preference. Oddly, I am a large guy (see code for fat) but most of the girls who have been really attracted to me have been the tall, skinny, waifish types. Girls who have bodies like Kate Moss, Rooney Mara, Crystal Reed figures. I guess there is some merit to the adage opposites attract.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

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.

I agree. My wife, who is obviously my type, is 5'2 and weighs about 115 (a size 2-4 I think). I consider that average, but America seems to consider sizes 8-10 average.

[The Curious One]

Ok, If I told you I have the body type of the girl all the way to the left in the pic w/ the 4 women (or in the pic that I just posted the link to b/c she doesn't have clothes on), would you consider me fat or unattractive?

I thought the girl in the pic you only posted the link to was attractive I used to like thinner women, but my tastes have changed.
If you have a figure like her's, you're hot. Just don't tell my wife I said so.

[Forehead]

So what brought this on anyway Brandy? I mean, your OP was pretty slanted, both in the way you phrased the choices and in the pictures you chose, using relatively hot bigger women vs. models that look coked out. Then later you mention that you look more like one of the women in the curvy group. Did a guy say something to you that pissed you off or something?

This be true, you're getting picked on more than any chick in the pictures . But it's only you...so who cares?! j/k
