I don't think that guys necessarily like girls because they are skinny. Thinner girls do seem more confident and energetic which are attractive traits to guys. My boyfriend and I, for example, get along because we're both athletic amd outgoing... yes, we're thin and in shape but that's not why he likes me.

Girls, I think, actually tend to be mroe superficial when it comes to dating. Afterall, who won't admit to not giving a guy a chance just beacuse he wasn't attractive or because he has achne.

80% boys like girls that are skinny

For some reason, I don't buy that. Have any proof to back it up?

80% boys like girls that are skinny. That does not mean that fatness is a bad thing but it's a choice

OKay I know that not ALL guys go for the skinny girls. I'm...average and guys like me...some even say they love me but I think that they say that sometimes just for sex...

Skinny girls are just sexier if you ask me. If guys were given an option to pick between two strangers, one fat and one skinny, the skinny one would probably be taken by most. The United States is not a country where the slightly overweight are seen as sexy, and so the "healthy" will always have the advantage considering many people are judged just by their looks. This doesn't mean overweight girls don't have a chance, because they do. I always like to believe that true love develops not due to loving each other's looks (though it may be a factor), but because they love each other's personality. And so... No, I don't believe guys only like girls that are skinny.

I have a roommate who only likes bigger girls. In fact he makes fun of skinny girls. His theory is he doesn't want a girl that he has to be scared of breaking in two. It all has to do with prefrence.

It depends who the guy is. Most boys say they don't like super super skinny girls. I am average and boys like me, so i guess it depends.. Hope I helped

Yeah As long as they're themselves and honest, everyone has a chance. Who needs the snotty people anyways?

i know i wouldnt it sounds scepcetal and judgemental and stuck up bit its the truth!!!!!

alsooo be be comfortable with yourself!! You are who you are! . If a guy thinks you are too "fat" or too "skinny" SCREW them. Who needs someone that negative around? I know I don't. You can choose who you surround yourself with, whether they are shallow, or really good people. I HAVE nothing against skinny girls. More power to you! You have more drive to work out, or have some damn good genes. If people don't like me for who I am, then I don't need them. Guys like me because I like myself. Also, I would like to add, that some people aren't over weight because they are "lazy"! I have a genetic syndrome that screws up my hormones, and makes me gain weight. People used to think I was anorexic. I had no curves. I have curves now, if guys say "Oh your fat" I reply with " Thats your opinion, I dont agree. Guys like big boobs , and the curvy hips and stomach came with them. So you choose what you want!"

I myself, am not stick thin. But also, I am not "fat" I have 6 guy cousins, and I recently asked two of them, "Why the hell do guys go for skinny girls? They look unhealthy." They both replied with very similar answers. "I don't like skinny girls. I would be afraid I would break something. I want to date someone who has some curves. Skinny girls look gross."

Well, to begin with I feel that one issue is the connections we’ve been making:

Skinny = beautiful
Beautiful = desirable

But what is “skinny”? I’m not quite sure how to interpret all of this, because it seems that girls who are not thin and feel self-conscious about their bodies tend to label girls anywhere from average to underweight “skinny”. I think, though, that “skinny” really means underweight.

It is an interesting point someone made, and I’m sure several people made it because we’ve all heard the same before: than men biologically prefer “healthier” women, and we tend to interpret healthier as a woman who eats normally and will be a bit heavier. But I’ve noticed a trend accompanying our changing body types, and if you’ve not noted these it’s clear how our frames and features have grown since men and women of the twenties, and up really through the seventies, but that along with societal emphasis on “thinness” there is a growing appetite for thinness. I think thinness had become associated with youth, purity and perfection, because men and women with slender frames tend to look so much younger and youth is also emphasized in our culture.

It seems that our psychological changes are influencing those apparent biological changes, although it’s difficult for us to determine what we’re meant to be biologically because of how our minds work. I think if you look at animal interaction you can see how we’d be without these expectations and everything else.

But anyhow.

Back to the question at hand: not to say boys and girls think at the exact some level, as we all function differently, but flip this situation around. Do you only like thin boys? Do you only like blonde boys? All humans are judgmental. It just seems a bit worse when you’re being judged, now doesn’t it? But I can truly say that so many boys appeal to me, I couldn’t put my finger on one thing that turns me off altogether, in every situation. Physically, at least.

And I see plenty boys of all shapes and sizes with girls of all shapes and sizes, and I’m sure you have too. I think that what it is, is that the boys you’ve got you’re eye on are narrow-minded, because, as you can see from this message board, there are plenty of idiots out there as there are perfectly decent people. The idiots are just more…prominent. Especially when they make comments like, “black dudes and mexicans like fat girls I personally am on of the most vain people you will ever meet so, to me thin is the what i like,” or, “I tend to like skinny girls - Don't know why. Not saying heavy-set girls are bad, and i have a lot of heavy-set girls that I am friends with, but if i was going to date, I'd go for a skinny girl first,” or, you know, things like that.

I think I can safely say that no matter what, no extreme will be appealing. But there is no cookie cutter image here. There are so many types of beauty, they can’t even be compared.



And, for the record -people like this guy:

And this is why, people who work out, stay in shape, and eat right really don't want anything to do with fat people.

Imagine your body as a house, and everyone around you is the neighborhood. You can tell who takes care of their yard and keeps there car clean. You can see the ones who don't, they have the pimples, the flab, or the stink, which means their house (body) is a rat hole.

There should be no sympathy for fat people. When I drive down my street and I see a nasty looking house/yard I don't want anything to do with them. I'd wish they didnt even live on the same street, they are an eye sore to the rest of the houses on the street.


I'm not saying fat people live in messed up houses (even though a lot do) but your body is a temple, its your house so take care of it.

Shouldn’t be given the time of day. Clearly there is something wrong with someone who makes such outlandishly inconceivable remarks. I mean, honestly. Who are you, Hitler?

and, P.S.

this board is not ridiculous.

This board is ridiculous.

You're kidding me, aren't you? That all is simpley horrible. I, myself, have been going to the dermatologist for about 4 years now, I wash my face twice a day and use 3 different medicines EVERY day, and yes, it's alot better than it would be without it, but I think I'm doing alot to keep my "house" clean, but that doesn't mean every speck of dust is just going to vanish. Perhaps you're lucky, and was born with no acne or was raised in an enviorment where others around you didn't have a bit of extra "flab". However, that's not the case for everyone. Just because they aren't perfect and to your ridiculous standards doesn't mean that they're a "Rat hole".

I really hope you don't just judge people based on looks. "No symphathy for fat people." Maybe you shouldn't give them symphathy, but saying they're bodys a rat hole, and junk like that isn't going to help anyone. If I had the choice, I'd rather LOOK like a rat, than have a personaility of one. Obviously you wouldn't make the same choice.

You have no right (in my opinion) complain about fat people- as you basically were- if you're not going to try an encurouge them to lose weight positively. Negativity isn't going to help anyone.

Anyway, that's not the point of this forum post, so I'll give my opinion on the whole "do boys date fat girls" -- I believe most people date off of personaility, and if you're beautiful as well, that's a bonus for your partner.

My girlfriend is skinny, and I don't really like it.
Why? She looks anorexic. Which triggers the "Oh snap! Friend in trouble" trigger in me, and I don't like it.

I mean, I love her to death, and I would never change a thing on her. Ever. But still. It worries me sometimes, because I've seen her stop eating sometimes, and it just makes me wonder...

Really, if the person only prefers skinny girls, in supplement to personality, they don't deserve any girl, in my opinion.

im 7 stone and 5.7 i am relli paranoid about my weight i wud love 2 b bigger than i am, i dnt mean obese but 2 have a bit of weight on me i get so paranoid i have small breasts and a petite bum but have has a hot boyfriend who has treated me for who i am, so for all u "fat" girls out there stop complaining u shud b lucky, if u r so worried about ur weight, try LOOSING SOME!!

I know a skinny blonde girl who is a real b****, and everyone hates her.
But I find that being 5'10" at 13 is a real turn off too. Especially when all the boys are your school are no taller than 5'5".

I tend to like skinny girls - Don't know why. Not saying heavy-set girls are bad, and i have a lot of heavy-set girls that I am friends with, but if i was going to date, I'd go for a skinny girl first.

LATE POSTING: a guy would choose an overweight confident girl who defines herself as sexy before they would choose a skinny girl who constantly complains about her wait and wonders if she threw up all of the brownies that she ate earlier, but when it comes down to it a girl who is smart, confident, responsible, and independent to a guy is the real definition of beautiful (all my friends were guys)
