There's nothing attractive about a bag of bones.

Thats what I am trying to find out: What is considered skinny or curvy?

If Bettie Page is curvy, and Marisa Miller is skinny, then Keira Knightley is cadaverous, I would guess.

My own preference is certainly leaning toward a fit woman or someone working to be fit, since I am kind of a fitness geek. For example I know Act 2 on this site is very curvy and working to be fit so I like that. A lot. even tho she might not be where she wants.

Most women might find my body to be too extreme now as I have very defined abs and it looks a little too fit some have told me. Its all good tho, to each his own.

Im amazed at how many people i've met in my own life who are ugly and unnattractive men who have these unrealistic ideals for the woman they want to marry, i feel like saying "Hey dude, get some front teeth and then we'll talk!"
QFT.

I've met countless men in my life who were overweight, needed dental work, and in general didn't take care of themselves with outrageous physical standards for partners. I distinctly remember one fellow whose shirt didn't cover his extended belly telling me how good i'd look if I wore my hair longer.

It's not unusual for a person to think their physical standards for partners are the norm. Thank goodness there's a wide variety of physical differences in men and women and we're not the result of nazi eugenics. If there were only one physical ideal for a woman in society today, the OP and others would've posted only one pic of the same woman or several pics of the same body type. As has been noted, they vary from poster to poster. Is it really so hard to believe different body types have their own beauty? I've known beautiful men whose bodies were physically determined by genetics and their chosen work/sport/exercise. Boxers as opposed to marathon runners. Martial arts as opposed to weightlifting. Formula 1 drivers as opposed to farmers. S'all good, IMO.

That must be so hard for you.
:biggrin1: :lmao: It's a bit like complaining you have too much disposable income, isn't it. :tongue:


Anyways, back to the "too skinny" look...... Too skinny looks like it might break when you're playing with it. Same thing, too big isn't good either...
This holds true for men as well.

On a related note, please don't always mistake someone finding a particular person attractive for that being their "standard" or "the ideal".

I think Keira Knightley is attractive, but I think Jo Frost (The Super Nanny) is attractive too.

Just because I find someone attractive who is very skinny doesn't mean a woman needs to be very skinny in order for me to find her attractive.

I am more interested in how tastes change over time. For example I had mentioned this months ago, 30 years ago, chest hair was considered sexy. Sean Connery, Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds, Sam Elliot all had nice full chests of hair. Nowadays you won't find a 20something male with chest hair, they shave it. Matt McConaughey, Leo Decaprio, Brad Pitt, Owen Wilson, Christian Bale, the list goes on. MTV Beach, not a chest hair for miles. I even saw an MTV show where girls could design their ideal guy and all found chest hair gross.

What I am getting at is that guys who can pick any woman they want, Tom Brady, Howard Stern, Tiger Woods, George Clooney, Donald Trump, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, they all pick the *skinny* girls. Thats our control group. Why aren't the guys who can pick anyone not going for the Bettie Pages? Are some of the men here who say they like *curvy* girls incapable of getting the skinny girls? Or being PC?

Look at this: CO-ED Magazine » Top 20 Sexiest Athlete Wives of 2007

This is who this mag thought were the sexiest wives in pro sports. To me they look a little weird but I am not doing the choosing. Who is creating this conditioning? 50 years ago, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, were called sexy and likely size 10 and above.

What makes you think that these men (Tom Brady, Howard Stern, Tiger Woods, George Clooney, Donald Trump, Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake) could all have their pick with women? I disagree...the only two that might stand a chance with me are Brad Pitt and Tiger Woods
and that is only because I find them to be caring and intelligent (ok, ok, not the only reason). Your comment is insulting to many women I am sure...not just me.

I think Marissa is one of the absolute hottest women on earth but honestly if she gained about 10-15 lbs she could be the perfect woman. I saw a picture of her topless in Perfect 10 Magazine which features woman with no implants and her breasts are amazing. I think Keira is way to thin as are most of the Runway models I see but some of the ones in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues are pretty hot to be sure.
Hotmilf, I think you are SMOKIN just the way you are so whatever you are doing girl trust me, IT IS WORKIN'.

Just FYI, a size 10 50 years ago is probably equivalent to a size 4-6 today. Clothing manufacturers have been doing this vanity sizing thing for years so women buy more clothing. A lot of people make the comment that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14, which is probably true for at least part of her career, but that same size 14 Marilyn would be a 10 or less today.

With that said, I think the trendy look for women today is unrealistically thin, but I imagine that will change just like any other fashion trend does.

You are being intellectually dishonest. The average man has no where near the opportunity to meet (or more likely have women throw themselves at the above) as the ones I mentioned. If you don't think those guys have thier pick you are lying

That's just a handful of celebrity men. What about Ben AfflecK? He went from Gwyneth Paltrow, a tall, willowy blonde to Jennifer Lopez, a shorter, guitar-shaped latina to Jennifer Garner, a tall, athletic brunette. Some guys like a certain type and some enjoy variety.

Facts about Betty Page:

She is 5 ft 5 and a half inches (my height)

She was 125 (about 5 ten lbs lighter than me)

her measurements were 36-23-35 (mine are about 38-30-38) So technically Betty and i are similar in size, my boobs and hips are bigger, her waist is smaller. And i have bird legs next to her shapely ones. Are you saying shes a fatty?

She might be all skinny now, but i will always remember her for her curvy figure from those days. Hollywood must have really gotten to her now...

Nothing wrong with super skinny women, someone has to love them and eat their mashed potatoes and gravy at dinner. ;)

That Marisa woman is stunning!! Never seen her before.

You gotta love the fitness women. Two of my favourites are Monica Brant and Timea Majorova - a toned woman like that is so hot!
