Kudos to you girl, for having courage! To the guys who are honest and can keep their comment to "Sorry, I like skinny girls!", good for you for your honesty, and knowing what you want.
To the guys who seem to confuse "I'm not a model" with "I'm not healthy", bite me. What makes you think a size 16 girl isn't healthy? Obesity is measured in body mass index, and an unhealthy weight varies from person to person, and body type to body type. Diabetes and other weight-related medical conditions are not a foregone conclusion if you take care of yourself. If you're active, and eat healthy and feel good about yourself, you're a lot healthier than someone like Nicole Ritchie, Keira Knightly, and other too-skinny celebs.
Yeah, men, and women, too, like to look at the pretty people. That's just asthetics. Some men are actually looking for a partner, a friend, a lover and someone with substance, and some guys just like us ladies who have some curves.
Keep your chin up girl, and smile! I enjoy knowing that my guys like me for me, and find me beautiful inside and out. I won't be a 40 year old woman who loses one of these self-admitted shallow guys to a girl 15 years younger and 20 pounds lighter.

I don't know what size 16 means. If its big, then I probably wouldn't find you attractive and wouldn't approach you on a night out unless it was just in a friendly way. I don't mean that spitefully, just truthfully. I'm a firm believer that a girl I date should be smaller than I am, and I am a skinny guy.
The media and pornography has destroyed and distorted most american mens' perspectives on attractiveness, myself included. I am attracted to the same 5% of (nearly always skinny and sometimes blond) girls that 90% of guys also find attractive.Sad deal but i think its pretty irreversible. I've found that most men have some tastes that go outside the standard "skinny blonde" and thats cool. The guys that find what they really like in a girl beyond the superficial are the ones that are more likely to find true happiness due toa loving relationship than the ones that are constantly frustrated and getting the run around from superficially beautiful girls who may or may not have any redeeming aspects that would make them worthwhile to date.
Currently, I have a petite blond girlfriend (first blond in long time, it wasn't a factor) and sometimes when I look at her it honestly feels like I've won the lottery. I should add that even if a girl is attractive, I won't date her if she is annoying, ornery, high-maintenance, ditzy, unintelligent, uncultured, or naive. In spite of dating girls that most would consider "attractive" I do not consider myself an extremely shallow person, I just am lucky enough to have a lot of options, and typically go with the ones I am most attracted to.
Hope that helps.

It is a matter of taste. What is attractive to one person, may be ugly to another. Personally, I prefer skinny (to look at, anyway), just as blond hair usually catches my eye...but I have never been with a blond, and there is so much more to a person, than their looks. I also find large breasts unattractive, no matter WHAT size the gal may be.
But there is a difference between what is fun to look at, and who is fun to BE with. It is just that men are very visual, so are constantly looking...but what they settle down with has to be a much more complete package. The bottom line is that you need to be compatible with each other, with similar interests and ages. Otherwise, after a quick look (or, long gaze), all a really pretty & skinny blond is good for is to kiss 'em on the forehead, pat 'em on the butt, and send 'em on their way!
As far as your question: I might be one of the best friends to you that you ever had, but your size would make you sexually unattractive to me, so I would never go there. But rest assured--more than the other answers to your question indicate: there are plenty of guys out there seeking out a women of your size, to be with forever, because it is an aspect of the overall package they are looking for, and are attracted to.

Just from girl to girl, I'll tell you my experience. I used to be really hot and I knew it. I got looks everywhere I went and there were alot of men who approached me. Then I had two kids in two years. I put on alot of weight and I'm still carrying about 50 pounds more than I did before. I don't get the looks that I used to get, but there are STILL men who find me attractive. It's not ALOT of men, but it's not like I'm a total dog, either. Some men might like women to be ultra-skinny. But the average American woman has a little meat on her bones and most men are OK with that.

hi i might not be a guy but i think that you should be asking this question because some people can be rude and it might get you depressed i know i do. so look at it this way if you are truly beautiful in the inside then it should reflect on the out side there is someone for you. I'm a size18 and i have had guys after me that are attractive but don't care about physical appearance.

I've gone out with women of all shapes and sizes, from very skinny to large.
I can't speak for most men, because most guys I come across in my everyday life are moronic when it comes to relationships, but as far as I am concerned, I couldn't possibly care less what a woman weighs. It doesn't even register a blip on my radar when it comes to deciding if I'll date somebody.
My fiance is not a skinny woman, and I love her with all my heart. She is absolutely beautiful to me, both inside and out, and I wouldn't want anyone else by my side other than her.
If you find a man who won't date you because of your weight, he is a moron, and you are far better off without him.

The truth is that most of us men are wired to be attracted to thin healthy women, just like women are generally attracted to tall healthy not overweight guys...
