do men really like girls that have hardly any body fat?

Question

I have an hourglass shape, and I am about 125lbs to 135 at times and5''5, I have been around guys that date or say they like woman that look like sticks, because they like that model look, but they are the ones trying to get in my pants lol, and I notice all my friends that have curves, or if not curvesd have meat on them, get hit on by guys who are confident, and the guys that seem OBSESSED with there own looks want the runway skinny model, I know everyone does not like the same thing... but do men really want a girl that looks like a pre-teen or bony?(yes there is a difference than a natural slim girl and someone too thin for there body) I mean it is just not underdstandable to me, it seems like woman always want to look as thin as possible, but how many men still like that Marylin Monroe figure? Im starting to wish I was alive in the 50's, please serious answers, and I am not picking on thin girls, Im just referring to the ones that force themselves to be an unhealthy weight,

Answer 1

most stick thin girls have high body fat percentages not low body fat. people confuse being thin with low body fat and that is not the case. if you have low body fat the muscle will show enhanced definition or muscle tone.

real men don't want stick then girls, only immature boys that are only concerned with "tv beauty" want that

Answer 2

I think you're confusing the amount of bodyfat with being skinny. Skinny people can still have a high bodyfat percentage. Personally, I do like a woman who is fit and healthy, meaning actual lower bodyfat percentage but with some muscle tone, but not emaciated runway model skinny. The ultra skinny women usually are pretty unhealthy and have a high bodyfat percentage, just very little actual lean muscle, which is why they appear skinny. To me this is unattractive and unhealthy. I'd prefer a slightly heavy girl to that any day, and I think most guys would agree with me.

The thing about the ultra skinny girls is that they're too often overly concerned about their appearance and often have neurotic tendencies concerning their weight and real issues, so they can be a pain to be around. Someone who is healthy or even slighly overweight usually are happier people and much nicer to be around.

However, for me looks counts for only a part of the overall picture of what I'm looking for, and in the end personality is what wins me over. One of the reasons I look for someone who is really concerned about their health is that a healthy outlook on their body means they care about themselves and usually have decent self-esteem (not always, some women like this can be VERY self-centered and superficial).

Answer 3

Most guys I have talked to about this want a healthy girl, not fat but not a stick. Several of them have even told me that girls who are stick-thin remind them of children, and they cannot seriously get into that because it kind of freaks them out in a way. I guess that means they are not pedophiles, LOL.

My advice is to not obsess about it too much. My experience has been the same as yours, for the most part. I'm a size 4, but I'm really short and still an hourglass. The guys have always been into my shape. But they only get to look, because nobody can replace my hubby!

Answer 4

Personally, as a guy, I hate that skinny hollywood borderline anorexic look. Classic example is Lindsey Lohan. She looked great several years ago with red hair and a few pounds. Now she just looks like every other washed out skinny blonde in hollywood. Same thing happened to Jessica Alba.

Personally, I'm most attracted to girls that look and are healthy. If they have a naturally thin build, then theres nothing wrong with that as long as they are eating and living a healthy lifestyle. I also love girls that have that athletic build opposed to being just skinny, women that can go on hikes or bike rides and enjoy it.

Answer 5

Women come in different shapes and sizes, and men realize that. I happen to believe that real like curves; real secure men like rolls - but most of all, no matter your size or shape, men are attracted to confidence bc confidence means self acceptance, and that's what remains and holds the attraction once you get over all that other stuff.
Unfortunately, society dictates a great deal of what's "deemed" acceptable, and sadly people feed into that, especially men. But you've got to plow through all the fodder. Amidst all the glitz and flash, you forget that these models are airbrushed, and if you saw one walking down the street without the makeup and the other bells and whistles, you'd think she was a starving crackhead!
So if you ask a guy if he wants something polished or something real, he's going to choose what's real.

Answer 6

Not totally true because if it was men wouldn't like boobs or asses. Most guys just want thin girls with body fat in those two places. I don't understand the whole runway obsession with certain guys. Like yea the girls are beautiful and all but most are rails. It's one thing if a girl is naturally thin but the truth is most models aren't. Well American models are gross because most are way underweight. Would you even want to date a guy that is so shallow and into looks? I wouldn't. And the thing about them trying to get in your pants. Some guys are just users like that not all but a select few.

Answer 7

i have had weight issues most of my life. i was smaller back in high school but i still wasnt what youd call thin. i never found there was a lack of guys coming my way. there are guys who wont go for any girl who isnt perfectly skinny. but at the same time there are guys who dont want to cuddle up to a female with the body of a 9 year old boy either. i fond most guys want a girl to have some meat on them. now, i think most guys dont want an obese chick but at the same time...if your overweight, your not out of luck. if a girl is all skin & bones, most likely shes not gonna have any boobs or curves or any other feature to make her feminine. i dont see a guy wanting that.

Answer 8

honey you need to come to south texas. Most of the guys around here my husband included think yeah skinny girls are pretty to look at but would rather have a women with curves and meat on her bones for a girlfriend or wife and mother to their children because if she has some meat that means she knows how to cook and is probably healthy enough to have children . Also from my husbands friend they always say that they want a woman that they can have sex with without worring that they are going to break her

Answer 9

Men loves curves, just in moderation. As you said, the only type of men that like stick thin, boyish looking women are the type that are totally obsessed with their own looks. Chances are these are the guys that want to be dating guys, not girls:)

Answer 10

I know what you are talking about...I am 5' 8", peared shaped, and some times I think the only reason my husband married me was because of my J-Lo like butt. The guys that like thin girls are loving the attention they get from her being so small compared to him. They like that feeling of being bigger. But if they weren't so self concious they would love a girl who had curves. I know what your talking about. Me and my friends have curves and the flirting never stopped. I only had one girl who was naturally skinny and it was hard for her to even get a guy to look at her. But being from the south, most guys down here love a girl that has something to grab. They don't like to grab and actual hip bone. But yet there are those girls who are naturally thin, like my friend, all she did was eat....a lot to actually get a curve. But to answer your question it really depends on the guy. Oh...some guys just might like the skinny thing, but most like curves. Hell, some even like Really healthy girls! But don't worry about it so much...if a guy doesn't like your wieght that's his problem, that one guy will love your curves...that's my husband! And he is my one and only! No one can get between us!!!! (because I am healthy enough to kick some butt!)
