Men do really like skinny Women?

[Ray]

I think you should put up a poll on it,

Men Do Not Like Skinny Women!

It was surprising to know that men initially were biologically programmed to be attracted by women with healthy and therefore portly body types.



So those of men that get turned on by women that are generally considered to be overweight shouldn’t be ashamed of your preferences, as it is absolutely natural. In this article we are describing the main reasons why men favor women that do not completely meet the modeling standards.

Waist to hip ratio

Waist-hip ration is defined by dividing the circumference of a waist by circumference of hips. This exact ration becomes a main determiner of woman’s attractiveness. For instance, in western countries the ratio that is equal to 7 is considered to be the most appealing among men. And it was found during the research that this ratio shows an optimal level of female reproductive hormones, and thus a lower likelihood of diseases. As for Asian countries, the ratio equal to 6 is the most attractive. Whereas in majority of African and Latin-American countries, the preferred ratio is 8. So, it comes out that women with a more curvaceous body make men salivate rather than skinny women, who are less likely to have a distinct difference between waist and hips.



More fat means fertility

Considering the fact that women bodies are intended for child bearing, which takes a long period of time, women should be the storers of natural fat. Back during ancient times when people lived in caves and it was hard to get enough subsistence, women that had fat on their bodies were more likely to carry a child. As for fetal nourishment, the energy from fat on woman’s hips is the one, which is converted into energy for fetal nourishment. Moreover, some scientists argue that the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids that are contained in hip fat are significant for fetal brain development. So, men get attracted by women with some meet on their bones because they receive some hidden signals from their brain. These signals inform that these women are more likely to give birth to a healthy child.



Normal BMI

Body mass index (BMI) is considered a stronger indicator of women’s attractiveness than waist-to-hip ratio. BMI is defined by dividing woman’s weight by height squared. Women whose BMI falls into a normal range are more eye-catching as it shows good overall health as well as reproductive potential. A normal BMI range lays between 18 and 25. Women whose BMI is close to 19 are more fertile than thin women because lower BMI is generally associated with poor health, eating disorders and bad fertility due to amenorrhea.



Men love breasts and bums

During the study that was published in Biological Sciences in 2004, it was found that bigger breasts are associated with higher levels of mid-cycle estradiol and progesterone, which means that during the ovulation period these women are more likely to conceive. So, chubby women with bigger breasts are more appealing to men, as skinny women are less likely to have big boobs, unless they have implants.



In fact approximate 50% of American women are overweight and the obesity becomes a number one issue in the world according to the World Health Organization. We don’t call women for gaining extra weight in order to become more attractive. No, men are more likely fall for women that take care of themselves and maintain healthy balance of muscle and fat. Healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle- main things that make women look fascinating.

Sorry mate this statement is so wrong and generalized.

Most photographers are not gay, I know I worked in the photography business for over 20 years and only knew a couple of photographers who were gay and they specialized in fashion, an area where all too often the fashion industry dictates that model must be a maximum of size 10 and 5'8'' at least to get fashion work, the opposite of the both stereotypes you present, (gay & ladies). Just look inside the pages of any womens' fashion magazine or check out their websites i.e. Vogue, Cosmo, etc.
All to often the fashion industry and magazines have used Photoshop (post processing) to create curves and body types that do not exist in nature i.e. stretching the neck, lengthening the legs, slimming the waistline, reducing the bum line, enlarging the bust line, changing eye colour and air brushing, to name but a few techniques, one programe even has a preset called thinify to make the subject slimmer at the ckick of a mouse.
These practices have mislead young women and girls into striving to achieve a body shape that only exists on a computer screen. If a teenage girls bone structure finishes developing and it is that of a size 14 she will never be a size 10, not only has advertising being been trying to present unreal body types it has been messing with peoples heads in many ways for decades in an effort to persuade us to buy their idea of image. Oh and most creative directors in advertising agencies where the big money comes from are not gay either.
Last year the British government ordered two advert campaigns to be cancelled because the advertising agency could not demonstrate how much post processing had been done to the images used, both by the way were for anti aging products and the ladies (both international stars) who featured had flawless skin in the adverts.

So please refrain from the type of sweeping and incorrect statement which you made in your post, unless you work in advertising, where such exaggerated statements are made on a daily basis, in an effort to convince us the great unwashed public that you really do know what your talking about

tbh I know about alot of what you are saying, but I didnt want a long post like yours. so made it a bit too generalised. I wasnt trying to brand all photographers as gay at all. you have described it well though unlike me at silly o clock in the morning!

It takes discipline and motivation to keep slim

Yes, of course, most of the time.

But sometimes it also takes a fast burning metabolism, hormonal problems, some severe eating desorder, a finger up the throat after just eating or an excessive love for cocaine or other appetite suppressant drugs ... so don't think ALL girls that are skinny are like this because they always watch what they eat and spend hours in the gym.

Also, one can be very discipline when it comes to their own body but it doesn't mean they're disciplined in all aspects of their lives and if you look at the very skinny celebrities, they are the ones that always seems to be in all sorts of trouble because of the lack of discipline in their life.

Same for same bigger girls. Yes, most of them eat anything they want, whenever they want but there are also cases where they have some hormonal problems, food allergies etc which they are not always aware off.

Beauty does not have a stereotype, or ideal body weight. Beauty is in the entirety of the human being, beauty is something that radiates from within and not just an exterior. Beauty can be found in every shape and size, real beauty is when the person is happy with themselves and uncaring of what others think of their shape.

Very nice words

I loke all types of ladies but I particularly like skinny/slim ones. It takes discipline and motivation to keep slim and I find those attractive qualities, particularly as I'm not so slim myself !

SF -- you need to lose a bit of weight honi !!

for the most of the skinny girls is in their nature to be skinny. And except actresses or singers, or other vips, most of them don't do any diet, actually they eat 3 times more than us. If I would eat like a skinny girl i would be 3 times bigger.

It is all about organism. Too bad media insists in skinny girls, that is very sad, and depressing for some young girls that are overweight.

I think curvy girls are the best looking ... size 10 to 14 is just perfect.

As someone already said it, it is also about the natural build frame of a person. A girl with a tiny bone structure will always look healthy when skinny and even a few pounds will make her look badly. While some other girls with a larger bone structure look un-natural and sick when they go too skinny, you almost feel sorry for them and feel like buying them something to eat

In my case, yes, I may have some hormonal issues but I also love my food

Thanks

I did put a little on thought in the last couple of months. Nobody would kick me out of bed yet but I do feel a little uncomfortable, so in the last few days I bought some apple cider pills and I try to watch what I am eating. Will never be skinny but my ideal body size, the way I look my best is a size 14 and I have to work hard if I ever want to get back to this.

Gaining weight is associated in my case with being unhappy. When I am upset, bored, have any kind of trouble in my life, I never skip a meal. If I am happy, have future plans or feel in love, I lose weight so fast that I amaze myself.

So ... need to find reasons to be happy. Fast !!!

Yes of course there are disorders of all types that affect the situation. But I think for the majority of people who have slim and toned figures , this is because they make a deliberate decision to be careful about what they eat and how they exercise.

Also, one can be very discipline when it comes to their own body but it doesn't mean they're disciplined in all aspects of their lives and if you look at the very skinny celebrities, they are the ones that always seems to be in all sorts of trouble because of the lack of discipline in their life.

Yes, I accept skinny is not good. I prefer slim and toned but not all of the time !

Slim and toned -- this takes discipline and effort for the majority of people I think.

Btw -- I dont think either of the girls in your photo are a size 14 or even a 12.

It is easier, in my view to look elegant when you are reasonably slim.

She might be thinking of European sizes, Steve.
