So what do men think of skinny women?...

We are told men like curves, but not too many, then we are fat. Not enough curves, we are too thin. So honestly, what do men really think of skinny women? Are they unattractive? Are they sexy?

Men prefer me skinny. It's unquestionable.

The difference is incredible when I'm at my skinniest or carrying an extra bit of blubber. I still have the same waiste and hips and ample boobs. My curves stay the same. My fat can differ and a toned stomach and slim arms always gets more attention.

Straight men like women's bodies, don't they.

The guys I've been with said they liked my body- slim- but they would say that, wouldn't they!

Who cares what men think of your body. They only thing that should concern you is, is my body healthy and do I like it.
I'm sure men like all sorts of body types but most of all they like women who like themselves.

I've been between a size 10 and 20 in my adult life and most men prefer slim women. Those who fell for me when bigger either fell for personality and face in spite of my size or they were big themselves so weren't in a position to be picky.

I suspect that most men aren't too fussy but would prefer women who fall within normal bmi ranges - probably just an unconscious nod to looking for good health in a partner.

I think any man who is quite specific about how they like their partner beyond a vague preference, is going to be hard work and more trouble than they are worth.

There’s a problem when you start caring what others think of you. Especially your body. It doesn’t matter. Be yourself. As long as you are genuine and open you will find people will be drawn to you, and like you.
