This proves to be a topic that is notable in that it is susceptable to the sensibilities of the era, not unlike skin tone[footnote]lily-white fairness of skin was the vogue of the 19th century until commoners moved from the fields into the factories, and the wealthy took to the beaches and tanning salons. That might be reversing now, what with more awareness of the long-term effects of sun damage, but considering the revelation in 2008 of Palin's gubernatorial tanning bed, the snowblind tan may continue to be the fashion for a while.[/footnote]. Before the age of mass food production, meat on a girl's bones (or a boy's) meant she'd better survive the winter, and the reubenesque [http://www.judgmentofparis.com/pinacotheca/rubens.htm] form was praised and loved by most.
Nowadays, we're in an age where we are indoctrinated with a sense of beauty, based on law of averages [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HollywoodPudgy].

W-wait...are...are you pointing to me or the bear? Because I get mistaken for a guy a lot. You don't want someone who looks like a young, pubescent guy, do you?Aethren said:

Really it depends on the woman. Some gals look better with a bit of meat on them, and others do not. What I want is someone who is properly proportioned for their body size. At the same time I don't have to concern myself with their size vs mine so much since I'm an ogre. My current g/f is 5'10" and still comes up to just above my shoulder (she is a bit on the heavy side, but it looks great on her).
I'm not to fussy about looks. I've had boyfriends ranging from someoneone who could be a model to someone who could break a mirror. I've gone from skeletons to slightly overweight but haven't dated anyone obese; not because of their weight itself but the ones I've known have had issues around it and seemed to have an angry outlook. Fron the guys I've know with weight issues, if they hadn't behaved in a mean or innapropriate way I would have dated them (and that goes for guys of all sizes and races that I passed over). I go for intelligent artistic types with a kind outlook on life, I'm not one for the macho or tough guy approach. Also if they are unwashed and unkempt or have nasty teeth and ragged fingernails, I will draw the line. So for me its really about behavior over looks.
