question for guys:

hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

And he's probably the biggest frog prince ever. They had fantastic kids, but a young woman that could have found a man that truly loved her for herself, married for privelege. Beauty and skinnyness can't buy you love.

 

*bows*

 

yknow, i weigh about 40lbs mor ethan my bf. and he loves my body the way i am. hes a skinny mofo and ill always be curvy no matter what i do. i love his body and he loves mine. hed love me if i weighed 40lbs more or 40lbs less too, because hes just awesome like that. a great guy doesnt care what your weight is, he cares about your personality and your spirit, since bodies age and crumble with time.

 

Comes down to taste; "I like anywhere in the range of slim to pleasantly plump. Not too extreme in either direction." is about how I feel, and most men are the same. I do have a couple of mates who absolutely love huge girls though. *shrug* I'll never understand why but there you go.

I think that has more to do with his self-confidence than him being shallow. besides, we are talking about what is physically attractive here, nothing to do with personality.. how many of you find overweight men more attractive to look at than a fit one?

 

I know my boyfriend would love me no matter what, but realisticly I know he wouldn't be attracted to me if I were 40 pounds heavier. He is an inch or two taller than me and right now I only weigh about 30 pounds less than him and am soooooooo uncomftrable with that. Plus I don't wanna look fat in my wedding pictures and I have this perfect silk halter dress picked out so I gotta lose some fast, which sucks because I have such a bad sweet tooth.

 

im sorry that you let your weighta ffect your happiness so much

 

hehehe. you gotta love those sly comments. anyway...



well, when you've spent the majority of your life thin or at least fit, it would be a bothersome thing. i don't think she's unhappy so much as discontent and wanting to fix it. i'm the same way, though i've been plump (not fat) most of my life. now i'm just fat and fixing it.

 

I am sooooooo happy. The way it goes with me is that I am either fat and happy or thin and stressed and miserable.

But regardless of how happy I am I dont get heavier than my bf, worry about looking heavy in my wedding pictures or no fit in the clothes I like. Banana republic stops at a small size 14 and I am there and also when I go shopping by myself I like to go to the juniors section because it's cheaper...they stop at a 13...and I am there. I can barley fit into clothes comftrabley at Bebe now...that is sad. If I gain anymore weight I will not be able to shop at my favorite stores, get the wedding dres I want, feel psychologicaly and physically healthy, remain as active as I am etc. Plus when I have kiddies I wanna be a good example nd have a healthy pregnancy.
I am very happy though.

and it is upsetting! I sed to be so tall and then and then I got emotional issues after some stuff went down and hate men leering at me. My psychologist thought gaining weight was a form of self-protection, forming a barrier. I never liked eating before so I kinda belive it...but then the other part of me is like...ah well I just love to cook and eat sugary foods

 

I think that a woman is beautiful as long as she's proportional.
If a woman is 5" tall, and ways 170 lbs. that's wrong.
Also, if a woman is 6" tall, and ways 110 lbs. that is wrong too.

there is nothing beautiful about being skinny, but also nothing beautiful about being fat.

the best is just normal, somewhere in the middle

 

i havent had ANY trouble with that, and i am NOT ksinny

 

oh moongazer some men or people in general have no room to talk about exercise because they may not do it themselves! You are who you are. I like girls ( although im not gay but just me ) with meat on their bones... however, you are who are you skinny or bigger. I, myself am overweight, not obese, and the doctor says im healthy and i feel healthy and BEAUTIFUL! So dont let others get ya down darling!

 

i agree
MUCH lheaded your way for that,hon!!

 

I'm 5"4 and 120, which is a little bit over my preferred weight but hell, I have good boobs, I still have a curvy waist and nice legs and a shapely bum and my bloke prefers the way I look now I've put on a bit of weight. Personally I find myself much more attractive when I am thin, but I'm content to be the size I am, plus when I used to be really skinny I was ill all the time and also bitchy. Since I put on a few pounds (and it's only 10 pounds difference between me being stick thin and nicely curvy, how mental is that?) I've got a lot more accepting of both me and others. Viva curves, I guess!

 

A large number of men like curvy women, the irony is that society tries to create the illusion that most men like sticks! Trust me curves are hot!

 

Buxom voluptuous and zaftig are positive attributes.
Hmmm 17 and having to look good in tank tops. Ehem, unless you are obese 17 always looks good in tank tops. 55 not so much.

 

Under today's standard's Marilyn Monroe would be considered obese, by Paris Hilton's standards. Guess what that's Hollywood, it's not the real world.

 

I know it was touched on before, but I used to work in the fashion industry and have an insider's view. It's true that most of the people who chose models are homosexual men, but the reason they pick models who are tall and thin is because it makes their clothes look good on the runway. Many of the large buyers are hetero. men and if the models were curvy and sexy it would distract from the clothes, or so the thinking goes. This theroy has become so entrenched for so long in the fashion world that it is pretty much taken as gospel.

 

i wouldnt consider myself skinny. im curvy too. sometimes i wish i was skinny. my boyfriend is both skinny/ muscular (runner's body though), so i wish i was a little smaller sometimes. but though i'm curvy, i exercise and there is nothing i can do about it. so i think curvy is better
