I think it is more a matter of health. Some people are naturally thin, and others are naturally plump, and both can radiate a natural healthiness. People who are purposely making themselves thin look sick. I see stars all the time in their mid-20s and 30s that could be someone's grandmother from the neck down. There is a difference between healthy leanness and a wasted skinniness. Same for people who are plump. Sedintary gluttony shows, and looks nothing like someone who is healthy and on the lean end of overweight.

Your appearance is an extention of your lifestyle I think. Your weight doesn't make you pretty, it is just a by-product of your lifestyle. I have seen really healthy, self-assured women who some would consider fat and they were far more attractive than the skinny, vain women with stripper hair and too much makeup. Just my opinion. Healthy is beautiful, and skinny isn't always healthy.

Give me a healthy (i.e: not twiggy and all skeleton like... perhaps with a few extra pounds, to give me something to hold onto) nerdy girl with glasses and I'm won over!

Details, details... always with the details. But then again, you said not to be shy....

Ahh my girlfriend is healthy. but she seems to have a problem that I see alot of women with, She thinks she's too fat, whats up with this? --Asking the ladies now
She is thinner at her belly/waist that at her hips and chest, and I have never thought her fat, over wieght, or even "pleasantly plump"
Is her self image related to how she feels about other things? some days she will look in the mirror, and be like "damn I'm sexy today"
but its not very often, I do worry about her but I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to make her feel better... (its not me thats causing these things with her)

I dont mean to detract from your main post but it is related, I also have no preference on the wieght of a woman as long as not way to skinny or to fat.

i like all kinds of women physicallly. as long as they are not over done in any way. in other words.........not to thin.........not to fat........not to tall........not to short...........minor imperfections are ok. i like womanly curves and well perportion , even if they are a bit thin or fat thats ok. am i clear on this???????

I used to like men that were big, strong, dark, kind of neanderthals! On the contrary, my boyfriend is tall, lean, athletc, has light hair and chisled features. I have no preference really, as long as the guy stimulates me intelectually. To me, that is sexy. He also has to make me laugh. That's just for starters.....

I'm so glad that you have upgraded your taste in men.

Me too!

I like a nice round well-defined ass on a woman. I like curves. Big breasts don't really do it for me, I like my women proportional. And I think the male figure is just ridiculous looking for all intents and purposes. Women are so much nicer to look at, in general.
