We (women) all know that you are visual and that is totally acceptable (to a secure person). Okay now, when you are "just looking" - who looks more attractive to you....a really skinny female who probably doesn't eat .....or a healthy (not fat though) female who enjoys food? Please explain as I hear men say "oh she's hot" and I'll see this woman who is all bones and I don't understand it. Oh and give your age too please. Thank you.

Actually,, sorry to sound vague, but it all depends. "Hot" women come in all shapes and all forms. Skinny? Nicole Richie is not attractive to me. Give me Kirstie Alley (sorry the only one who comes to mind) anytime. Larger (probably not the proper term) like Rosie O'Donnell, who obviuously loves food, is not attractive at all to me. Much depends on how the woman carries herself. I've dated skinny women who ate alot, medium sized women who didn't eat anything, and larger women who ate the same portions that I did. Obviously I don't know them, but I'd love to date someone like Cameron Diaz or Jennifer Aniston simply because they have a classy side as well as a side that looks like that they just want to have fun and get dirty. BTW, I'm 34.

If I understand the question completely, you are asking why some men like thin women. To answer that you need to understand that men are not only visual, but subject to the same media bull as everyone else. Who or what's hot and what's not is purely social. If we were being told that 300 lb women were hot as in Rubenic times, that would be the social norm and men for the most part would comply in the interest of (pardon me) getting laid. Personal preferences aside men are not that complicated, we are creatures of conquest, status and opportunity. Unfortunately we also tend to have the Lemming mentality which means we play follow the leader even if it's over a cliff. I am over 40 by about 14 years, and in that time I have seen many changes, not only in fashions, but in media presentation of what they think is hot. Most young men go along with this, because they want to fit in, some don't know really what their preferences really are. They just accept what ever other guy seems to like. Skinny is a relative word, I should think a woman with enough integrity and self respect to realize she is just a person like anyone else would be far more attractive. At least to me.

I've never outgrown the love of the "coke bottle" shape. Extremes in either direction away from that are a turn-off for me. I don't care for skinny women and don't care for fat women. This does not mean that they may not be the sweetest girl in the world, but you did specify "visual". Another thing is that I prefer petite women, as in not tall. Probably because I'm only 5'8" tall myself. I'm 65.

I don't particuraly get turned on by chicks witha few extra pounds but they are not out of the question if their personality makes up for it.Skinny chicks like rib showing is just repulsive to me. they are out of the question. Remember though when i'm with the guy's i will probably say damn check that *** out(skinny chick)just because where all together and it's just what guys do.You have to get us one at a time on the side to get real answers. So, just ignore men when they are in a group because they will say anything even if they don't mean it or belive in it.

well some men like fat. but I have no idea why.. when you are telling me about a "healthy" girl. well to me that seems like you are skirting the issue .. just like a woman calling herself full figured. that’s just fat plain and simple.,, I like THIN women. Not anorexic.. but thin ones with a nice butt and nice shape overall. I prefer smaller chested because to me. In my mind I look down the road and do not like the thought of seeing granny boobs on any one. That’s just nasty. I just feel again that your “healthy” girl has a tummy roll on her and is puffing out in many places. So no to me that is gross. .. I am over 40.

My gf isn't skinny but not at all fat. I can stand really skinny women. The right size is a women that I can pick up and carry but not one that I could carry for a mile.

Well probably the reason I can think of is television for one, it's because we all grow up watching TV, & TV tells us wat hot is, which they always show skinny girls as being hot, so i think people develop that mind set and thats what they see as being hot. But for me it's probably because you feel more attracted to the skinny girls then the ones that might be fat. But everybody has different tastes & thats just my opinion. age 20!!

It all depends. I personally think that Drew Barrymore is hot. But I also think Angelina is hot also. The normal woman I may be passing by, it all depends on how she is dressed and how she carries herself...
