i ouldnt class myself as thin as i have curves and a flat stomach which i had peirced and he went funny about me wearing short tops

Answer 1

I don't know the American equivalent of 8 stone 9 pounds but I guess that's not important. No, some guys like them thin and some like them with some meat on their bones. Just like some girls like guys with hairy chests and some like bald guys. He sounds like a very shallow person if weight is the determining factor in a breakup. What an a**! You're lucky to be rid of him. Sorry, but if a guy broke up with me because of appearance only, I'd be livid.

Although no longer an official unit of measure, the stone remains universal within the British Isles as a means of expressing human body weight. People in these countries normally describe themselves as weighing, for example, "11 stone 4" (11 stone and 4 pounds), rather than "72 kilogrammes" in most other countries, or "158 pounds" (the conventional way of expressing the same weight in the United States and Canada). Its widespread colloquial use may be compared to the persistence in the British Isles of other Imperial units like the foot, the inch, and the mile, despite these having been entirely or partly supplanted by metric measurements in official use (a similar usage persists in Canada, despite that country, unlike the USA, having converted to the metric system in the 1970s).[2]

The official unit of body weight in medical and other contexts is the kilogramme. In official use provision is usually made for the public to express body weight in either stone or kilogrammes. For example: NHS calorie counter - Imperial and Metric

Outside the British Isles, stone may also be used to express body weight in casual contexts in other Commonwealth countries, particularly Australia and New Zealand.

Answer 3

Hmmm That's subjective in other words down to individual opinion.
Most guys prefer women between a 10 and 14 size although I go mainly for personality myself not size :)

Hope this helps

Answer 4

It's purely subjective, there's not one ideal woman as far as most men are concerned.
Whether you're size 8 or 18 dressing well and having a great personality will go a long way in deciding if he fancies you.

Answer 5

All men are different. Some like big women some like small women. Some men don't care about the size just about who the woman is. If all you are worried about is whether some guy likes you because of your outward appearance then that is your real problem.

Answer 6

what does 8 stones mean?
is that how many stones one would have to use to take you down?
like stoned the beast?
anyway, speak in terms that we dummies understand, and i feel certain you will have plenty of answers to chose from.

but i think a man prefers a woman with some curves. just not speed bumps...

Answer 7

most guys prefer gurls with a lil meat on there bones not a lot though if you have a pretty face you can pull off being a larger person but most guys i say want a gurl with a flat stomach but a big back and front if you know what i mean!

Answer 8

i dont think so the weight is the reason for him to leave you
but it is the easiest alibi he can think of
the easiest excused without further explanation
for me i prefer medium sized woman cause im that size
but the size is not a big concern to me its her character
and attitude the most.people have different wants and needs
so many likes and dislikes, some have many fetishes
but if you want excuses you tends on the simpliest one

Answer 9

What is a stone weigh? No men prefer a nice lady.

Answer 10

Thin is always more attractive, but not to thin. Then it can be disgusting. She cant cant be too big either. So the the most attractive would be somewhere in the middle where you wouldnt call them fat, but they werent really that thin.
