To think a lot of men aren't that bothered about women being ultra slim?

[Voilafrancais]

From what I've seen around me, men seem to be happiest with average-sized/curvier women.

A colleague of mine is a football player and very into fitness and his girlfriend is quite overweight, they've been together 6 years.

A man I liked who is quite thin, he wasn't interested. His ex is at our workplace and is significantly overweight.

I know this sounds nasty and rude, it probably is. However I feel like on the whole men aren't that bothered about women having figures like Victoria's Secret models, and personality is more important.

I'm slim with an amazing arse and small
But very pert I boobs , I attract lots & lots of attention.

I would never say oh men prefer this or that , it's each to their own and anyway why does it matter who actually cares, be happy with the body you have and make the best of it, always worked for me, also helps that I look good naked with no flab😊 because I work hard in the gym and enjoy it. again sorry not sorry I am
What I am, no need to diss slim women, if I did that I'd be slated tut tut

I don’t think most men are looking for ‘ultra slim’ but I think the preference is around size 8-12. I could be wrong.

This is true I'm fit but curvy and have always dated gym guys who are very toned

This thread is delusional.

Pippa Middleton is toned, slim no curves.
Kelly brook/Jen Metcalf are slim thick.
Cardi b/selma hyak is curvy
Lizzo/adelle are over weight or fat.
Fat isn't curvy.

People need to stop using words they have no idea about. It's annoying

Pretty much all men, even the thickest ones, have figured out some basic relationship truths:

• if your partner is overweight, tell her you prefer curvy women (extra points for slagging slim women)
• if your partner is fretting about putting on weight, tell her you like her new curves.

I've been told the latter, and recognised what was happening - he loves me, he wants me to feel better about myself, it's probably a white lie but his heart is in the right place. I didn't think woooo, I need to run off and gloat to all the skinny bitches about how my man thinks I'm a better woman than they are.

All the men I've known have said it's the shape, not the size.

They like figures which are in proportion and most of all, they like the curve from hip to waist.

From DP's objective answer, he would pick a size 10 gym-fit accomplished woman instead. (My shape, size, persona!) I'm not so sure why a preference is shallow.

The women on the front of womens magazines tend to be skinnier than the women on the front of mens magazines. Granted, I'm talking about a few years ago when more people bought magazines.

Just go on any beach on a hot day and see for yourselves, very few people, men included have perfect bodies . Some may have great legs . Some may have a great bum , some may have good legs , but rarely do you see anyone with all three . I think men would rather sleep with someone who is confident in the bedroom with sex and their own body , rather than someone who has a perfect body but is uptight and vain and just lies there .

Meant to include boobs

I was actually chatting to my partner post this thread and surprisingly for me he said he may not date anyone massively overweight. Now I'm a size 16/18, tall, big boobs and hips but slightly smaller waist. My weight goes on my stomach so id class myself as overweight. My partner is super fit, tall and muscular. To him, it's the shape rather than the size, and he likes curvy bodies and stomachs.

Like an hour glass shape , in proportion .

Weight concentrating on stomach is not hourglass?

So women with nice slim figures just lie there in bed 😂 do you really think that haha so untrue we're confident enough to go fully naked and enjoy 😊 just like you " curvy ones as you say and and ok on the beach too in a skimpy bikini, you know cause we don't have much to cover 😂😂

I can’t believe this dreadful thread is still going! I’ve been both fat and thin and most of the stuff written here about either size is so weird and like a deluded fantasy.

thin women do not lie in bed doing nothing during sex and are just vain. Hourglass is not the shape of a big stomach. I assume some men subconsciously like the waist hip shape as it gives off ‘I’m fertile’ vibes so some of this is instinctual and also influenced by society - like some women thinking a man with big arms is strong and could protect you. He might be a total bastard with big arms.

I asked my DP and he said he likes my face the most. He went for the safe option

This isn't my experience with my current partner. Now I've lost over two stone he seems a lot more tactile now. Not sure how I feel about the superficial bastard now to be honest. I don't find superficial men attractive. 😂

Well I just asked my cat and apparently he does not judge women according to bodyweight and is perfectly happy as long as the food and fuss is forthcoming.
Humans could learn a lot from cats.

Adele has always been curvy - she goes in and out. You can be fat and curvy or fat and straight up and down
She's not even overweight but she has curves

I think the majority of men like slender women, you only have to look at porn. Most aren’t wanking off to size 16 women.

I think some of the confusion here stems from the misinterpretation of the word 'curvy'. It's been used as a euphemism for 'fat ' so long, that's It's almost synonymous with being fat. Underwear and clothing can make fat women hour glass shaped, but not so much when undressed. I was at my curviest when I was slimmer and 20 years younger; 26 inch waist to 39 inch hips/ bust. Waist is nearer 29 now and hips 40. I'm 5'9. I had a cracking pair of boobs. Dh pretends he'd still fancy me if I were bigger, but I wouldn't fancy me, so I wouldn't expect him to.

Well no but thats because the women in porn are like fashion models, deliberately recruited because they are thin. In porn and fashion, larger women are only used to fulfil a specific genre, either "fat porn" or "plus size" fashion.

As I said earlier, ime men dont have much thought about fat or thin beyond the "meeting in a pub" stage. What they care about is "there is a naked woman in front of me" what size is she? "Dont know, she is naked".

This is probably true!!

Men like a variety of shapes and looks. It really isn't rocket science.

They might prefer to settle with a foodie if they are a foodie themselves?

A man, on here - there goes the neighbourhood !

Took you 4 months to come up with that zinger, eh?

Much like different women have different preferences, I’m sure different men like different bodies. My friend has large breasts and I have much smaller ones. We’re quite different shapes and sizes. She told me confidently the other day that ALL men love big boobs. In my experience, all the men I have dated have been into smaller boobs. Either we’ve both dated men sensible enough to lie, or, different men do have different likes.

I once put on a few lbs in a relationship in my early twenties. I didn’t track weight or bmi then, but I must have gone from an 8 to a 10. The twat told me I should go to the gym. He clearly had a preference for slim. I lost several stone by ditching him. I imagine he’s learned to keep thoughts like that to himself now.

I’m really into cycling and running and have married someone with similar interests, we both eat healthily and exercise a lot so are both a similar fitness level. If I was looking for a new partner, I’d be looking for someone who looked like they were up for running with me. I imagine lifestyle and interests have an effect on what people find attractive.
