Threads like this always make me laugh. Why even ask the question in the first place? Is there really a point to it other than to stir things up? When it comes down to it, we all know the answer...some do, some don't.

And just for the record...my post with the bumper sticker was meant to be humorous, not to slam any one's post. It's just any time I've heard myself or someone else called fat, that sticker comes to mind and makes me laugh. The word fat came up, I laughed therefor I posted it.

Most definitely I prefer curvy women to pencil thin.....and I do not consider 'curvy' to mean 'fat'....I don't date fat women, although some of my friends might not think so....

The subject is MOOT, the answers are subjective. Besides, men /women don't really know what they want until they lose it

I can honestly say i perfer curvy women . As the saying goes "real women have curves" I strongly disagree with anyone that has narrow minded enough view to think that curvy = fat OR voluptuous = fat, sure you can put your own spin on whatever wording you want but there is no reason to make it a positive versus negative thing. As long as everyone is happy with whom they are that is all that matters. Ultimately this just a question of choice not of discrimination. I also do not consider an athletic build not to be " skinny pencil" type, nor do i considerate curvy.. just purely athletic.

I have noticed this age old question floats around alot in the forums... its always the same people making it a fat or non fat issue rather than the pure sense of the question.. curves or no curves?

Anyways these are my thoughts on the matter... I wish you al the best and hope your all happy with who u are as a person and that no matter curves or pencil or even athletic, your all found to be happy and enjoy lifes journey where ever it takes you.

I hate the original title of the posting

curvy vs pencil stick thin.. the word curvy is just more physically appealing to the eye

Curvy vs Slender

I'd take curvy though, big boobs and butt
not jelly rolls.

@ FrenchKiss


Seriously... FACT of the matter is that everyone has their own spin on what 'curvey', 'few extra lbs', 'thin', 'average' 'fit', 'bbw' and 'voluptuous' are... everyone has their own definition, whether its the Webster's version or just their own... this isnt anything new.

Pushing what your definition is on others is just irritating.

This topic IS chatted about regularly, here and in other forums... There are just as many equally ridiculous threads (if not worse)... and to tell others 'enough already' on their opinion, yet still post yours, isnt right.

~On Topic~

stick thin girls actually disgust me!!!!!!!!!1
I can not stand seeing a girls ribs protruding from her chest
they just dont look healthy
on the other hand, obesity is a turn off as well
kinda like goldilocks
she didn't like the porridge that was too hot, just as I don't like the too fat
same thing goes for the too cold and too skinny
I like the happy medium...............the "just right"

Considering the ribs are a little further down, that would be pretty disturbing.

A nice body is...nice...but I'm all about the face. I mean on other girls - the only body I obsess over is my own.

vvv...I prefer cheese.

What's the saying..

You could meet a "PERFECT 10" until she or he opens thier mouth..then they become a 4, or someone who may be only a 6 that you click with and they may end up becomeing "YOUR PERFECT 10"

Does it matter if any person you meet is thin or curvy, whether the person you meet is physically in shape and has definition and toneness in their body? If you met overweight, shapely or curvy person, what does it matter to you, if their blood pressure, cholestral and health is normal.

We need to stop judging people and look at what's inside their personality, heart and soul. No person is ideal match to each one of us, and some people will have their preferance. I feel many people waste valuable breathing time assuming a person who is skinny has a eating disorder and someone who is consider curvy, might not excerise or eat too much. Our North American Culture advertising tells us what is beautiful by touching up photo's in magazines, and I feel it causes our youth to feel ashamed of their bodies.

I feel too look sexy, its being comfortable in our skin, knowing who they are, and not comparing if they're lighter, heavier, curvy, shorter or taller or anything else. Its about being comfortable in our body, since we must live in it, and no one else can live in our bodies.. If being intolerant towards anyone due to body image is going to make you a better person, I think how shallow and insecure this person to think that way.

In my 41 curvy years, I have noticed that men look at thinner women and want to be seen with such because they feel that is the norm........Im sure they will get more high fives and pats on the back if their friends see them with a barbie on their arm. When it comes to someone who needs an ego boost on a personal one to one level, they prefer a woman who is maybe not so perfect in size but has a sense of self and is confident in their sensuality........

Most people believe that the media has had an enormous influence on emphasizing "thin women" as being the most desirable ... and I'm wondering if perhaps the above statement is a result of that influence?

This statement suggests that men have a "trophy mentality" towards their relationships, and I truly don't know if that's the case. Certainly, the posts here have indicated that men/women make preference on personality first ... then most state they prefer curvy women. Too, there has been much research in this field (that's already been stated), that men do indeed prefer a more curvacious body-type.

You apparently cannot read. Too bad. If you had, you might have been able to make an intelligent post. Competition over? Honey, you would never be competition for me.

btw, you quoted YOUANDME not Fox. Drink much?

Are you saying women over 50 stop competing? I think us ladies over 50 (or soon to be) challenge OURSELVES more once we hit our 40's. Just think Jen, you have something to look forward to, and don't let age stop you from challenging your thinking now.

Op go check the pictures in Success Stories, feel reassured, men are looking for class and integrity and not women who are boastful and arrogant....

True Dat^!!!
I see in some girls' pictures on here where they are just showing themselves off. Like, "LOOK AT ME!!! I'M HOT, AND YOU KNOW IT!!!" As much as I love T.N.A., if a girl has a majority of her pics up of her booty or boobies, I lose interest, cuz, "is that all you've got to give someone?"
I like girls who smile in their photo's, or show their eyes. You can tell a lot more about a person by looking into their eyes when they smile, than when you stare at their cleavage!!!

Boastful and arrogant? Where did that come from? Wasn't the issue curvy vs "skinny pencil"??


I find it fascinating that people seem to be incapable of READING the posts and merely jump to conclusions based on their own prejudices.

My issue with this thread was because of the INSULTING and DEROGATORY term for thin people in the title. I do not see why it is accepted to be rude and abusive to anyone, regardless of their size....thin or not.

Too bad no one stopped to think about what I typed and instead just slammed me because of my body size.

You all suck.

WTF:

Boastful and arrogant? Where did that come from? Wasn't the issue curvy vs "skinny pencil"??

Did I upset you with my post? What made you think I was directing my post at you??????? My comparison had to do with 'Success Stories Forum'
I didnt see it as slamming you but if your feeling slightly arrogant or boastful as a result of my post, I do appologize! All better?????

You also said you were being slammed because of your body size? I did not see anything of that nature here in the thread.... I would like to add that I have read your posts about body size in other threads in the past and find your firm in your convictions as to your preferences. I think that is your reality and its ok to be open about your desires but not at the risk of offending others that are not of your liking.

Edit: Sorry I do see you mentioned in Jen's post. Big Opps

If you read what I had to say in THIS thread. I did not express my taste for body type one way or the other. I expressed my disgust at the slamming and insulting of THIN people, which btw, I AM NOT.

I provided quotes from a scientific study that concluded that men of all cultures prefer a woman with a 70% waist to hip ratio, which is CURVY.

Why is it when I actually SUPPORTED the contention men prefer curves (small or large) that women find it necessary to not only attack me for my size but on the basis of my age as well?

Kind of makes you stop and go hmmmm, doesn't it?



edit

As for the remark about "boastful and arrogant", you didn't answer my question about that at all.

My response was about the issue of curvy women and made reference to "Success Stories".

I'm with you all the way, Fox!

I think the basis of the problem here is that people do not see that it is just as ignorant to discriminate against a "social norm" as it is to attack those who would be considered a minority. IMO, that is all that WTF was trying to point out. And if I assume correctly, I heartily agree.

Why don't we start a thread called "Do men actually like fat women vs the slender or fit one?"

Because then I would,and probably will be attacked for it because "how dare I refer to them as fat, I must be so shallow and heartless and arrogant"

It's true - don't deny it!

Thanks for the opportunity to stir the pot, so very rarely one arises.
