Skinny or curves?

[JennaFletcher]

What do you think is more attractive?

A lot of the time people seem to agree that men find a curvy woman more attractive but when I look around I see girls and women who are literally dying to be thin.

So what's this all about? And when would you classify curves as fat?

Interested to see what men on here think about this!

There are obviously "limits" on each definition - at a certain point, "curves" (attractive) do tip over into "fat" (grim), but I think it's more about mindset and approach to food/looks that I notice.

Any girl that bangs on about exactly how many calories were in their ham and tomato sandwich she had for lunch yesterday needs to get a grip.

I see some girls about town who have legs that look like they'd snap in a strong breeze - - but likewise ones that could face into Hurrican Katrina and barely twitch - - but there is a happy (very happy even ) medium.

I like curvy women.
Curvy is not fat. Curvy is womanly.
Hips , bums and boobs all should be squeezable

I think it definitely depends on height. I'm quite tall - about 5'9'' and if I was a twig then I'd just look so lanky and ridiculous!

Victoria Beckham claimed in February that we should not discriminate against skinny models because they are "naturally thin"

There was me thinking that eating disorders and laxatives were all part of being a model...

I would not want to hurt any painfully thin persons feelings but i don't find that attractive in the slightest.

There must be a wee thigh bulge at the elastic part of the hold up stockings

Skinny girls don't do it for me at all.

Medium to slightly overweight is best...something to grab on to no matter where your hands are.

[Pretty Boy]

Curves within reason. There is that tipping point where curves can begin to spill over into the start of fat.

Stick thin girls are just a total turn off though. Anything less than a size 10 just does nothing for me at all.

Also an additional tip for any girls out there; easy on the fake tan. Plastering it on doesn't look natural and no one ever fancied the oompa loompas.

[Antifa Hibs]

OK Jenna....

What do lassies look for in a man then... Thin, muscley or real man beer gut. What do you's go for, i.e, am I to diet through the summer or not

This - also, between the months of October and April in Scotland, please, for the benefit of all, dress accordingly when on a night out FFS.

Additionally, if you look like one might need a Black and Decker to get through the layers of make-up, the only kind of guy that'll end up drilling you will be of the "regrets the next morning" variety as he has to leave early to pick up his Methadrone prescription.

curves every time....... if god had meant the female of the species to be skeletal, he wouldn't have invented Playboy...

Seriously though, it does anger me when I watch TV and the subtle pressure put on women and girls.....even men too I suppose. Having had personal experience of what that can do to kids it makes my blood boil........

I'm sure Jenna would agree that these are not attractive on a female.

it depends what your after mate. IMO fat/curvy women tend to have the big personality to go with it. or do you like the sklnny ones, that only think about the calories they take and get thier personality from the latest glossy mag and are insecure. its what ever floats your boat, were all different. what do you feel like when you walk down princess street with her? do you want to hide when you see somebody you know or do you stick your chest out and feel proud that its you that shes sleeping with tonight?. not saying all skinny women are insecure BTW. anyway you should not be worrying about what other people think, its your life.

I'd like to say to all the women on this board.....

I blame skinny people for skinny jeans.

I understand (skinny) women in skinny jeans but men in skinny jeans?! Or even worse when someone is quite chubby wearing skinny jeans... you just kind of look at them and think 'oh dear' kind of the same feeling I get when I look at someone who is wearing a jumper or t shirt with a wolf on it or a pack of horses.
I'm so bitchy.

[dawn]

Another wee treat for you lads.
Happy Clapper

[DH1875]

Without doubt it has to be curvy. Although as some have already said there does come a point when you cross from curvy to fat.

In other words curvy=yes. Fat=NO.

I'm more likely to blame the fashion designers. Skinny jeans where perhaps invented for that androgynous look the fashion world loves so much!

According to this I must be one of these woman who count their calories etc, I'm 5ft 10 1/2 and admit I am thin. For anyone who actually knows me knows that it is far from the truth. I should be huge for the amount I eat but unfortunately for me and I'm sure there are a lot more out there like me who just do not put weight on.

Nope. They generally get hunted down, killed, and occassionally eaten by jealous fatties.

Should have kept that one under your hat I think!

Curvy. (As in Kelly Brooke, not Dawn French)

[Allant1981]

cant say im really bothered, when i met my now wife she was thin. she is a dancer so has a good body - bendy as well but my ex wasnt exactly the skinniest bird you will ever see. No where near fat either though. Ive been with curvy and skinny. As long as i like them i dont mind - in my single days

[J-C]

I like fit athletic type women, not the muscular ones, more lean fitness instructor type ones, but since I'm a PT this goes without saying.
