Do men like naturally thin women?

Question

Maybe I'm just being insecure here, but I've always been naturally thin. I'm 5'7" and weigh around 110 to 115 pounds on average. I eat what I want, I exercise regularly, and I don't really go out of my way to maintain or change how I look. It's just how I am by nature.

I keep reading articles about how men think skinny women are undesirable, unattractive, and how most if not all would prefer a size 14 instead of a size 6. I'm a size 2, so I guess I'm on the glaring end of spectrum as far as sexiness goes.

The thing is, I have a defined waist. My hips are wide, they aren't boy hips. I have small breasts, but they are proportionate. I like the way I look but I am constantly told by people that I am anorexic, too skinny, need to eat more, and don't have any curves. I just don't understand why people attack thin women so much.

Do men really think thin is gross? I have an Audrey Hepburn body type, but would every man reallt prefer a thicker woman like Marilyn Monroe?

Answer 1

If your young then why don't you model. Then you will be in a world were people value your thinness. But I think most guys would want a woman with a bit more meat.



If it makes you feel better most women have some kind of body attack. Fat women get called names all the time. If you have large boobs people can be rude other women especally. Even if your at a healthy weight someone might think that your too large or too thin or your butt is to flat or to large or to wide. Some people will always have something to say sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. What can you do? You don't owe anyone and explination. Short of walking contantly eatting in front of people what you do?



Different guys like different things. Move to where I live and you will find tons of guys that love thin girls.

Answer 2

Anyone who says "men only like one thing" are totally ignoring the fact that everyone has individual preferences. I know guys who love thin women, just like I know guys who prefer women on the heavier side. I'm a naturally thin and petite woman. I'm not pin-up curvy and I wear a size 0. I know how frustrating it is to have people tell you to eat a cheeseburger; half the time, I don't think people realize they're being rude. I know how irritating the phrases "real women have curves" and "only dogs go for bones" are because they try to invalidate those of us who don't fit that certain curvy standard. But you know something? I've been married for almost 5 years. Obviously, I my husband doesn't find me to be "gross". And anyone, man or woman, who tells you that you are gross or undesirable just because of your build is not someone who is worth your time.

Answer 3

From not being a naturally thin woman, I have to say men in general don't like one particular kind of woman. Some don't even have a personal preference and no matter what you look like there is someone out there who wants a relationship.



Not all thicker women look like Marilyn Monroe. 70% of my weight goes to my upper body and I don't have a waist. Usually I manage to stay on the higher side of healthy weight for my height but I have been bigger. I am in a long term relationship with a man who finds me attractive.

Answer 4

You're not gross in your natural body. You shouldn't have anything to be insecure about, this is your genetics it is something that you can not help.



It's so rude to say those things to anyone, just looking at someone's body and assuming you know who they are because of it. You don't need approval for existing, for being you.



It's not just a womans body that is sexy, it's her ideas, her thoughts, her features, there is so much more to a woman than just a body. Don't let the fools who make this the only trait they can see in you warp your opinion of yourself.



Stop concerning yourself with what men want, there are so many kinds of different men out there who wont only judge you on your body.

Answer 5

I'm overweight, so I see the opposite end of the spectrum, and it's all created by women, not men. Different men like different body types, from Audrey to Marilyn and everything else, and there are definitely men who will like yours. Women just try to make each other feel bad so they can feel better about themselves, and it's unfortunate because none of us deserve it. If you're healthy, and happy with your appearance, you're already beating us in one thing that's really important: confidence... it's a great asset, and it makes you look even more attractive to those around you.

Answer 6

Thin is not gross but it's not really sexy either. But that's just my opinion don't get more insecure about it.



Men in general like women with some meat on her bones you know what i mean? A woman that is not thin but she's not fat either, she's in between.



But you don't need to worry. Why? Because there's a man for every woman. There are men who love naturally thin girls and some of them prefer thin girls over other body shapes and than you have men who don't care if you're thin, normal or fat.



Just be happy about who you are. A lot of naturally overweight girls wish they had your body.

Answer 7

Men like women who are comfortable in their own bodies and don't obsess over their appearance. It's best to try to stop worrying about how you THINK women are supposed to look and just embrace the way you actually DO look.



People often think they have the right to tell thin women to eat another sandwich or make jokes about you going to throw up if you visit the bathroom after a meal. I experienced the same thing in my younger days. It gets tiresome, but it stops as you get older and the people around you mature.

Answer 8

What you perceive as '' attack[ing] thin women '' may only be concern for their Health.



Some people will tell you that you need to eat more and gain more weight in order to achieve that healthy BMI or weight.



I won't reveal my preferences, but I will remind you that there was a time when Men commonly seek out thick women. Heavy (might as well say fat or chubby) were seen as the ideal women and mates.

Answer 9

Most guys arent picky about a woman's body, women are much harder on themselves. Nothing is wrong with being thin, look at the hot Hollywood guys, they can get any girl they want, and they almost all have thin women.

Answer 10

I don't like getting all scientific and shiz when it comes to what I want...internet, etc.



I love women with meat much the same as I love petite women.



Honestly, my ultimate fetish is a woman with a big @ss, small waist. But that having said, Audrey H gets me revved up too.



It's instinct...When I think of volumptious curves, something fierce comes over me.

Answer 11

You're perfectly fine. People can define beauty in any way they'd like it's just nice to understand that if YOU love yourself, others will too.

Men like different things - they're like girls in that sense. In MY opinion, since we all know most who says EVERY BODY turns them on are lying, I think guys like bodies EXACTLY like yours.

When people say "men prefer meat, dogs prefer bones" they're shaming skinny girls. It makes me very angry because most people who actually SAY that are overweight.

Anyways, no matter what type of body someone WILL love it and accept it :)

From what you've told me, you sound like you have the perfect body.

Answer 12

You don't sound too skinny for your size, not like it would be a deal-breaker.

But who a man would approach more on average is a different story. We put more effort into the best looking ones.

Answer 13

Don't you worry about a thing, dear.



I'm thin just like you. I'm 5'5 and 105 pounds and I have never had any problems with guys liking me.

As long as you are an intelligent, and nice. Guys will like you just the way you are.

Answer 14

Naturally YES, 'forced' skinny NO.



Women are WAY too focused on LOOKS though, men like your personality first, and will like your LOOK more, the more they like your personality.

So deep down, men like nice, fun women, no matter what they look like.



So no, your figure isn't getting in your way, your insecurity might, because guys do NOT like drama, at all.

Answer 15

I like a little bit of muscle, but nothing like a body builder, thats gross. That guys alright I guess. Lil Wayne has a PERFECT body! <3

Answer 16

S'OK - I'm naturally thin as well - shows at 63 with no beer gut or whatever.

Answer 17

I don't like very thin women, my wife is slim but not too thin, I would prefer thick over skinny.



@pontius autopilot: You're right, and your name rules.

Answer 18

God NO! Men like a bit of meat on their Woman I believe.
