I recall a study a few year ago.
They asked women "describe what men want a woman to look like" and the women described your typical tall skinny model. 5'10, 110 lbs etc They asked men "what do you want a woman to look like". The guys described women shorter and curvier (5'2"-5'4" 120-130 lbs with more curves). |

Most people want to do whatever their TV tells them to do.
My ex-wife once said, in a marriage counseling session, "I want to be like the people on TV."

Psst...According to your notes, I am very overweight. (I wear a size 4-6) and by your scale I should weigh 115-120 pounds. Haven't weighed that since puberty. Someone here noted that muscle mass weighs more, but even so..... See guys. You THINK you know what is "healthy" but even your numbers have been skewed by those societal images. |

15 or 20 years ago anorexia was blamed entirely on child sex abuse--anorexics were the victims. But that turned out to be false. Thanks shrinks for getting that one wrong and causing lots of family problems.

It may have something to do with the fact that homosexual men run the fashion industy. What the hell do they know about good looking women?

I'm with you guys on this. My freshman year of college there was a girl that said she was going to get some groceries from Wal-Mart to last her until spring break (about a week and a half). I went in her room and she had:
1 box of Little Debbie Nutty Bars 1 can chicken and stars soup 2 packs of easy mac 1 pack of ramen noodles I said "I thought you went shopping." She said "I did." You could honestly poke her anywhere and hit bone. Her hip bones poked way out. Yuck. I don't like being able to see the entirety of your hip bone, and I would like it if I don't have more of an ass than you. |

Asian women have that exotic appeal, but I always find my feelings of attraction going back to dark haired women (and a few blonds) of european features. The Asians I find most attractive happen to be the ones with "American-European" features, not only in the face but in the body too (Asians that actually have a nice round bottom and something substantial in their bra). There I go again, mentioning the need for curves. |

+1 on Salma Hayek.
I was going to chime in on 'fashion for the weak-minded driven by gay designers.' Beat to it. My wife's 5'3"/130 with a nice waistline. Very fashionable and stylish - but adult. Stops traffic. 'Nuff said. |

I wasn't under the impression many women thought guys want anorexic chicks. What with so many fat women in American society. I mean, look at the obesity rates...it's a fucking national epidemic.
I think the whole premise of the post is flawed. Unless women think men want that but don't care, hit the ice cream and little debbies anyway and fatten themselves up despite thinking men want thin chicks. |

 My point was that 105 pounds really is NOT what you think it is. All those chicks in Playboy claiming to be 5'8" tall, 105 pounds with 36DD breasts are lying. That's all I am saying. |

+1 I think part of the female preception problem is listening to men. Men don't know a thing about women's sizes and a good many of these posts echo my statement. The entire 36-24-36 mentality is off. I think if you lined up every woman in American that was in decent shape you'd be hard press to find many that fit that mold. So you have impressionable girls wanting to be something they can't be to achieve something that they preceive in their immature/inexperience mentality and they run into trouble. I've started with my daughter and have been very careful to build her confidence in who she is. My FIL calls her Fatso as a what's the word....love name [??] and he means it sweetly but Whit and I have talked about it so she doesn't get a false impression that just because Grandpa calls her Fatso means she's fat [my brothers called me Fatty Patty growing up and I was a twig]. Anyway girls need to realize that eating healthy, working out healthy [not over doing it like Farrah Fawcitt or Melanie Griffith] and being in good mind and body will attract an appropriate mate. |

First let me say, this is a wise post.  Second, what is deemed desirable is set by the media these days. The tube tells us this is what we should want and we want it. The anorexic craze started with a young model named Twiggy in the late sixties and has been pounded into both males and females ever since. Twiggy was quite the sensation of her time. She was so thin and unusual almost unhealthy looking with big sad eyes, it caught the medias attention. Everthing from TV to magazine models have followed her lead.  Who has this impacted? Well mainly those born after the late 60s, those not sexualy active during the late 60s, and those most suspectable to impression by the media. To those of us older than that and don't fit criteria, these bow legged skinny girls look like something from a bad WWII concentration camp movie. Tj |

My sister is 5'2 and 105#. She was down to 95# at one point.  I know what 105# looks like. And that would be like the bare minimum for me. The chick would probably be like 5'0. I was just saying that I preferred girls who were 5'4-5'9.... Girls who were 105# to 135#. Girls with 32 A/B to a 34C. I dont want a girl thats 5'9 and weighs 105#.  Thats why I also said, their body has to be proportionate to their height/weight. If a girl is 5'0 with 34D boobs, that is not proportionate. Nor is a 5'4, 120# girl with a huge ass ghetto booty and 34A boobs. It's all about proportion.

oh boy.... Guys n gals...can we just say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder???? Because it truly is. The trick is to get the beholder to say something nice when he/she looks in the mirror. That's my take. |

Aha! Men (the majority) here have clearly indicated a desire for curves. For us men, D-cup breasts on a shorter woman is not disproportionate. For some men B-cups are great. You can find numerous men who'd like just about any given combination of proportions on some woman. Which gets us to the root of the problem: It's women who are pushing the unhealthy demands of proportions on themselves. Having said that, I recongize all too well that there are some exceptions. I remember a co-worker who became bulemic because of an emotionally abusive boyfriend. A shame too, because she became extraordinarily attractive when she allowed herself to fill out a little. |

It is okay to be thin if thin is your natural body type. I dated a girl who was 5'8" and 118 lbs, with a long, thin body that would remind you of a greyhound or ferret (lean and sleek). But, despite being naturally very thin, she did NOT look stringy or anorexic; she had enough body fat that you didn't see muscles moving or veins popping out. She ate normal food (but not huge portions), and she wished she wasn't so thin, as it was hard to buy clothes.
At the same time, I've seen girls who were anorexic/bulemic, and looked more like the picture at the beginning of this thread. Their hair was falling out and their teeth were messed up. That's disgusting. I would far rather have 20 extra pounds than 20 pounds too few. For "ideal" body type, Jennifer Connelly (up to 2000 or so, not recently) or Selma Hayek are pretty good examples. Both are around 5'4"-5'5" and 140 pounds in real life. While being "fit", neither could have been considered "skinny", and they had a soft-but-firm, "womanly" look to them. Paris Hilton or the Olsen twins are NOT the ideal body type for most men I know, though admittedly there are a few who do love the string beans. -Troy |

It was a good handful. I suppose they probably could have been a small B. I loved them. They were perfect for her body type. And since they were smaller, they were firm and didnt have stretchmarks or anything. YMMV.

I respectfully disagree: And to provide at your fingertips evidence: Not ONE female on this board dissed the pic of the new squeeze of one of our team members. I won't name the member, but I know a few here remember that not too old thread. I thought that lady was nicely curvy...many men did too...but he got an earful of crappy somments about her being chunky. It was not a female who posted the pic of JLo at the academy Awards and declared her ass was too big. No females here have ever dissed any pics of any of the men...we've had men diss the pics of our ladies though. Sorry, but men DO factor into this equasion. They are not entirely to blame. Most of a woman's self esteem MUST come from within. If she does not believe she is desirable, she will never feel that way. ETA: comments like this:
although said in jest, are what some women will use to measure their beauty. (Dober, not picking on you, just proving a point) |

this one had me chuckling. another one i might add is that the other kind of model--the cindy crawford type, represents what a lot of gay men would like to look like. plenty of my gay friends would agree. |
