OP's Questions
1)Male or female
2)Are you trying to achieve size zero?
3)Why/Why not?
4)What's your view of others trying to achieve size zero?
5)What's your view of others who have achieved size zero?
6)And most importantly, is size zero actually attractive?
1) Male
2) No
3) Because it's disgusting, moronic, and incredibly bad for most people's health.
4) In much the same way men compete appearance-wise by who has the biggest "guns", women compete with who has the smallest dress size. In other words, the male equivalent of a woman trying to achieve size zero is this:

Dear. Sweet. God.
But at least that guy is going to be in relatively good health. Most of the size zeroes are probably going to look like dessicated cadavers once they've achieved their "goal".
5) I just had a brief talk about size zero with my sister (who is not a size zero, thank God), and apparently she knows a few women who have that size as their natural body type. I guess they're just really tall and thin and have a naturally fast metabolism.
That said, most women who try to achieve size zero need to get some self-respect. They're external validation addicts, whose self-worth is directly tied to what other people think of them.
6) As before, it's just gross. The most attractive body types are the ones who have nice curves. Like Christina Hendricks.

Yowzers.
But ultimately, what I like is a moot point. Women don't want to be size zero to impress men. Women want to be size zero because that's what most of the rich and famous women in magazines and fashion shows look like.
It's like men and dick size; most guys want to have a 12-inch penis, not because it's healthy, convenient, or useful. If you manage to even get that thing into a woman who's not a porn star, you'd better be willing to give her a ride to the gynecologist afterwords so they can stitch her vag back up. No, men want it because it gives you prestige points with every other guy around. It's about social status.
Obviously, there are better ways to boost your social status, like being confident, intelligent, and funny, for example, but some people are superficial (read: stupid) so what the hoo-ha?
And did you know there's even a size DOUBLE ZERO? Sheezus Christ! Don't tell the fashion models, or else we'll have a whole bunch of dead chicks on our hands.
On the plus side, they'll be pretty easy to bury. Save us some money on coffin space too.
...What?
