Do you find really thin/skinny women attractive or a turn off?

    Just wondering...all you lovely guys and ladies here.
    So many women, myself included, try so hard to maintain a good body... Hope I have the body to wear dress like this.
    And lately, I'm finding myself wanting to be even thinner than I already am, and dieting accordingly. I keep seeing all these tiny girls wandering around and their clothes just look so GOOD on them...then
    I look at me and see yes, a slim girl, but...not slim ENOUGH.
    But do you people find these ultra thin girls attractive? Are we just dieting to look too thin and nobody likes it? lol
    PS. Be honest. I expect quite a few of you to prefer slightly more curves on a gal, but if some of you really do like the thinner ones, I want honesty even if you think it won't sound good or "supportive of natural women" or something. lol.

    definitely curvier girls are way more attractive i think curvy but toned! Im a size 6 and i hate it i can never find anything to fit me and feel like a 12 year old boy!!

    Its not so much the thiness or fatness its the shape. If you have the right curves in the right places thats what matters imo.

    E.G Jessica Alba, Holly whilloby, Caroline Morahan, Anna Friel etc. None of them are the same size but they are all very attractive women.

    really?? The muscles on her arm in the fourth pic on that page are rank!!!! Would many men not be turned off of by the idea of a musclier woman than them??

    By really thin do you mean like Kiera Knightley?
    I get the impression most people find her too skinny.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,267 ✭✭✭✭GavRedKing


    Give me curvy and a bit of meat over a skinny girl anyday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,103 ✭✭✭Tiddlypeeps


    Of course, they ALL have lovely bottoms. :D

    There's more than a passing resemblance to the lovely Henrik Larsson, don't you think?

    Skinny is totally unattractive. Amazons FTW; failing that, at least some curves.

    Im into skinny chicks..

    Plenty are, but sure everyone's entitled to their opinion and there's guys who love it. You'll generally find that women who have physiques like that are quite happy to sacrifice the odd "I'd hit it" for the sake of their sport though ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    OP there is no real pleasing everyone. go for what you want. though these days it is hard to work that out, cause of all the models etc in your face all the time. magazines are full of things to make you feel bad about yourself so you'll buy products. I think if you just take care of yourself, and try to stay healthy enough, whatever else happens happens. of course I don't mean to say i'm 100% happy with my own shape. but as this thread will probably go to prove men have different opinions as to what they like and there's no point trying to conform to what's 'the norm'.

    It'd be my opinion that the girl in that link is a little too skinny. i wouldn't find her attractive for that reason.

    sollar makes a good point about where the "curves" are. Me? Much prefer thin, size 6/8 before 16 all things being equal. So someone like say Holly willoughby who has a gorgeous face, for me has gone a bit wide below the neck. I preferred her skinny. Ditto with Nigella Lawson.

    That said OP I'm defo unusual, especially in Ireland. My fellow Irish men seem to prefer a bigger woman and big bewbs are almost a legal requirement. :D

    I think the biggest turn off for blokes are women who never stop wittering on about their weight or diet. That gets old real quick.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    yes this is i think what i was getting at. being happy with what you have is much more attractive than fitting to what other people think you should have.

    So long as you have your own teeth im happy,

    Not me. The athletic body shape does appeal to me.

    Well I dunno, in the flesh she's not gonna be a big girl by any means. But the heifer/thick hocked heavy look really doesnt appeal to me. Of course where that line starts is down to the guy.

    You gots to have a bit of meat on them bones, woman. Stick thin women don't do anything for me, but I wouldn't write a girl off because of it.

    And Kiera Knightley is just an ironing board with a face :pac:

    You are aware that she's been pregnant for the last nine months, right? :)

    Mmmm...Holly Willoughbooby.

    Holly has the perfect female form. In practically every way. If you want to know what men like in terms of size, just look at her.

    :eek: all of them!?

    jessica biel in blade has pretty much the perfect body

    too thin and id break her too fat and its not attractive imo, almost no fat is great, almost no muscle is not


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,644 ✭✭✭theg81der
