What's so great about skinny women?

[Jadak]

Depends, there's not much that's need to be discussed so long as the person is healthy. It's only an issue if they're essentially starving themselves and are unhealthy. If they are in good health, then how could a lack of fat not be attractive?

 

[Occam]

Do a Google image search for "Lane Bryant Models"

They are "plus size models"

Clearly hideous.

 

[albinoterrorist]

Put it this way - I can suck in my stomach and see my heart beat...

That's.. Very disturbing.
No offense, but... That just isn't right.

I don't like big breasts, it's wierd considering there evident popularity, but big breasts mean big sag later in life. When I think of them, I think of a woman having to throw them over her shoulder to clean the sweat cheese that has grown underneath them. Not appealing.

Pffffft hahahaha!
Oh, Escapist, you've outdone yourself this time...

Being Fat does not equal unhealthy. A lack of excersize on the other hand leads to being unhealthy and usually being fat.

 

[Boris Goodenough]

Most women are at their most attractive at their natural size. You've all seen guys who are physically fit, but not muscular. There is a massive variation in the healthy size of the human body. Imagine all the characters from Team Fortress 2 trying to look like the Scout. It doesn't work, and if it did, it wouldn't be healthy.

Most women who are obese are heavier than their neutral weight index due to depression and comfort eating. As for the underweight ones, that's just creepy. Protruding pelvic bones leave bruises. If I can see your ribs, you're undernourished. If they have individual shadows, you should be hospitalized.

Then again, impressionable people will always exist, and the media shouldn't be telling them that certain weights are inherently unattractive, because everybody (and every *body*) is different. I know women who are gorgeous and weigh 200 lbs. I also know women who naturally weigh 98 lbs. My sister in-law wanted to join the Navy and had to gain 6 pounds before they'd let her join. She's not undernourished, she just has a smaller frame and fills it out differently.

Or some women just like being on the plus seize?

Also my BMI is 26 and you can see a fair few of my ribs just cleary, where do I fit into all of this?

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

So can someone please explain to me why this is attractive?

Because it's attraction. Attraction is based on what you deem to be perfect. What you deem to be perfect is influenced from a wide range of things from adverts to childhood friendships to your mother. There isn't anything wrong with being attracted to skinny girls or being attracted to girls with 'curves in all the right places' or being a chubby chaser.

I'm one of these guys whose attracted to slim girls and I don't even get it, they're just more attractive than girls with a bit more mass to them.

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Still, slim and curvy (not, "I'm-going-to-say-I'm-curvy-and-pose-in-my-underwear-when-really-I'm-fat" curvy)is my favourite way to go.

Hear, hear. One of my pet peeves is when the fashion industry uses "curvy" as a euphemism for "chubby".

Anyway, as for the OP: most of those chicks in your video do seem a bit on the bony side. I'll admit, I like small girls, but they just seemed kind of unhealthy.

Really, I'm not all that picky when it comes to body types. As long as she isn't a fatty, or far too skinny like some of the ones in that video.

A happy medium is best when it comes to female physical attributes.

 

[Red Roark]

Donno man, curves are where it's at.

 

[The Lugz]

because we're a society of extremes?

and since obesity is unattractive, therefor the complete opposite must be incredibly attractive.

A happy medium would be nice

yup..

personally i keep myself around 80kg at at-least 60% body-muscle that's nearly 50 kilos of muscle, more than some of these skinny people have body-mass
and enough fat to cycle about 400 miles ( i cycle quite a bit, i know these things )

the problem is, as you age
you begin to loose ALOT of your body muscle, these skinny people will be on hospital beds in their old age with no chance of recovery.

you can read a nice paper about it here:

[2733]

what do you want me to say? some women are attractive, some are not. If I could tell you why men and women are, or at least think they are, more attractive I wouldn't because I could take that knowledge all the way to the bank.

 

[RabbiiFrystofsk]

Most of those girls in the video did not actually look unhealthy.

This, right here.
My gf recently went to the doctors because she passed out for unknown reasons and her mum was stressing the fact that she's 'underweight' and the doctor just slap bam turned around and told her she's not underweight but that she's [mum] overweight and that because of the fact the general population is overweight there's too much emphasis on the slimmer built girls.

Not denying there's issues with being dangerously thin but some of those girls were looking fine, i stress 'some'.

I don't really know the whole Body Mass Index system, are you saying you have a high or low body-fat percentage?

to be fair, when I was in high-school and getting in shape, I could see my ribs long before I could see my abs.

 

[DaMullet]

Might it have something to do with the likelyhood of them crushing you to death in bed being far lower?

How frail do you have to be to be afraid of anything bigger then a 10 year old crushing you?

So tell me does that job pay well?

Wow.... that was so racist.

Fat hate seems to be the new racism.

How easy would it be to turn
A. "Fat chicks need love too, but they gotta pay!"
to this
B. "Black chicks need love too, but they gotta pay!"

Got back 100 years and its perfectly fine to say B.

 

[Realitycrash]

Skinny? Nothing. Fit/curvy women without bodyfat? Awesome.
Why do I prefer it? Because fat turn me off. Even in the slightest. Why? Dunno, maybe because I have been overweight the majority of my life, and now I exercise five times a week. I expect my women to be equally fit as I am. This means a flat stomach and a small waistline. Most people can pull it off by simply giving a damn. If you don't feel like giving a damn, that's fine. You're still a good person, just not the kind of person I would like to be with.

 

[Burs]

To be Fair Im ether attracted to the athletic body type, slightly curvy, or borderline chubby.

But it depends on the personality of the girl and unless she is obese then well Im up for anything ^.^

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I really really don't get it. I can't even share my views on why I don't like it because they're too harsh, even for the internet.

Now you have baited me and I must know...

OT: I guess it's just personal attraction. I find it quite nice as long as the woman is at least healthy.

 

[newwiseman]

Because.., heavy women are hard to fornicate up a wall..? That's kind a my only response there. I like small toned ladies myself. My hottest ex was a Pole vaulter in College, only 5'2" she looked a lot like Allison Stokke; to bad she was a cheating whore.

 

[Hitokiri_Gensai]

i much prefer chubby women. Not that i DONT like skinny girls, but i prefer women who are... chubby.

 

[Random berk]

And when I mean skinny I mean skinny skinny, like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=711ynu4aYdY

I really really don't get it. I can't even share my views on why I don't like it because they're too harsh, even for the internet.

But to sum it up, when I hear of women who are already tiny want to loose weight, I can't help but think of this guy;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUAPDvo2UBM

So can someone please explain to me why this is attractive?

In four pages this has probably already been said, but fuck it:
In my life, I have never met a person who was attracted to people so skinny that that you could use them as a model to teach a biology lesson on the skeleton. Similarly, I challenge you to find a single person who is turned on by women so obese that to have sex with them you would first have to spend five minutes free climbing. Between these two unhealthy body types, you have women ranging from slender, to curvy, chubby, whatever other term you can think of. Normal women, in other words. The ones that make up the majority of the graph once the outliers have been removed. These are the women who most people are genuinely attracted to. Other than small relatively small groups with unusual tastes,or fetishes, the only major group who glamourise the skeletal women that you're talking about are the fashion industry, and they are more like alien scientists than compassionate humans.

Put it this way - I can suck in my stomach and see my heart beat... I weigh about 49 kilos at about 5ft 11. So yeah. Skinny girls are my thing!

You should get that checked- your heart is supposed to be inside your ribcage, not hanging down in front of your stomach.

Lean/thin is sexy, but starving-african-child-skinny is gross.
