Do guys like skinny girls or girls with curves in the right places?

Question

Just wondering, do guys honestly like girls who are slim and skinny, or girls who actually have some boobs, bum and a nice body shape?

A lot of my friends are quite skinny (since they're asian) and I feel a bit less confident when I'm around them because I'm not as skinny and I'm a latin girl.

Answer 1

Both. If skinny means without shape, then shapely is much better.
If shapely means overweight, then skinny has the edge.

That's my own opinion. Everyone has their preferences. Statistically, having a significant hip-to-waist ratio is the most visually important figure-factor to attracting the opposite sex.
If you are curvy, try to make what you wear accentuate the narrowness of your waist compared to your hips. Unless you are overweight, your curves will catch and keep far more eyes than you are aware of.

Scientific explanation: Estrogen causes those curves. Curves signal the presence of estrogen, and it's a biological sign of female fertility. Men unconsciously are more attracted to women that show more signs of being fertile. It is in our genes to select for that. Your friends' being slim, youthful, and healthy is very appealing in that regard, but play the estrogen card and you have a biological advantage.

Depends on who the guy is, it doesnt matter what they think though as long as you have confidence in yourself as a curvy girl and you show that to everyone else then your good. And be proud that you stand out in a crowd, rather fall to the background with all the skinny chicks!

Answer 3

i am telling you now, guys do not like the skinny girl look. it is actually kinda disgusting to see a girl that is just too skinny. a woman with curves and a body is a girl that is healthy. they actually have something more than just a cute face to look at. a girl that is skinny is just wrong. i mean there is nothing there to arouse you at all.

Answer 4

It is "horses for courses" some guys do some guys don't. If you are curvy then you will obviously attract a man who likes curvy girls. Someone must like skinny girls because they are not all single. Mind you most of the guys I know prefer women to look like women not pre-pubescent boys.

Answer 5

I have been out with women of all shapes and sizes. The physical looks are not important to me it's what's inside that counts. Nobody has the "perfect" body so don't worry about it.
No one looks "hot" forever but your attitude can be beautiful for a lifetime. I would rather be with a woman who wasn't all that attractive but that treated me good and pleased me.

Answer 6

To be honest, guys like it all. It's different for all guys, but really... Given the opportunity, a guy who LOVES the curvy girl is still going to have sex with a skinny girl. He is not gonna pass it up. So, long story short... Guys have their own personal preferences, but they're more of "guidelines" than they are "rules"

Answer 7

actually for me, there are two types of skinny: one that is unhealthy or one that is built or toned to a degree to stay fit.

i personally like girls with a nicer body shape. the curves are a sign that she is in normal health and if she is comfy with it, then it adds even more appeal.

plus, you won't like a skinny girl with abnormally big boobs...balanced is nice. plain and simple.

Answer 8

I speak as an experienced traveler; a straight road is never as much fun to explore as one with curves, especially when they are in the right places.
Be proud of what you've got; feel sorry for the matchstick girls.

Answer 9

Curves are cool but too much can be a turn off. Depends on the guy. Don't feel self conscious about your looks, just be true and honest with yourself.

Answer 10

I definitely prefer a girl with a little meat on her bones. When girls are super skinny, that is not attractive.
