As someone who's been considered skinny their whole life - its a double-edge sword. There are those who are envious of my svelteness, and there are those who have said hateful/hurtful words to me. I actually dated a guy for a brief period of time who when I asked why he wasn't reciprocating exploring my body during sex, kept saying that it wasn't me, but it was him - turned out he was right! He later admitted one night while we were having dinner after coming from the gym, that "my pecs weren't big enough, but that he'd get used to them". I was incredulous! The fact that I've had multiple heart surgeries which has left my chest area muscuarly impacted, obviously wasn't taken into consideration - I assured him that there would be no need for him to have to lower his standards or get use to anything, that while I may have body image issues, I was in possession of a healthy, fully-developed self-esteem and quickly showed him the front door.
I can't help that I have the metabolism of a humming-bird, its the genetic card I was dealt, as well as eating health and minimize my intake of processed foods. I don't appreciate those who hate on others for something that is beyond that person's control. And from the outside world, there might be other underlying healthy issues that affect a person's weight that other aren't privied to, so think about that before you generalize or judge a person's phsique.
Now, as for my preference, I'm attracted to a multiple spectrum of men - slim, muscular, to stocky. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and while physical beauty fades over time, inner beauty is what sustains friendships and relationships.
