Take a man and a woman who are the exact same height 5’10”.  The man weighs 165 lbs and the woman weights 150 lbs.  Why does the man think he’s scrawny and she’s fat?

because girls are built smaller than guys.

Yes, absolutely!  I am same height/weight, as long as it's muscle weight, it's fine!!  Most people don't believe it when I tell them how much I weigh, they think it's lower!!

Not all men have the same opinions about that.All people are different and therefore some of them will like skinny and some fat ... Being skinny or fat is not the most important thing in a relationship.Love is blind , it doesn't see the size!

Generally speaking, men tend to have more muscle mass and women a higher percentage of body fat.  Muscle generates more heat than fat.

While I think both are frowned upon in our fitness and weight obsessed society, I definitely think that it is more acceptable for a man to be overweight than a woman.\n\nI also totally agree that people think it is ok for a woman to be underweight, and overweight is not.\n\nI'm not overweight, but I'm not thin either, I'm just stalky, short, and have some curves, and I am considered "fat" while I have a friend who looks like she is extrmely malnourished and like the wind could blow her over, and that is considered attractive.\n\nI'm very healthy, I exercise regularly, eat well, take my vitamins, etc. but I'm just not obsessed with being thin. My husband loves me as I am, and I am not unhealthy, so why should I try and starve myself into a size zero?\n\nBlame it on society and the media. The media pushes these TOTALLY unrealistic photos of what "beauty" is supposed to be. Women who are airbrushed, made up, and have their clothes taped exactly the right way. It's sad that this causes so many young women to think that they are ugly or fat, simply because they do not fit an unrealistic idea of beauty.\n\nI think what we need are more campaigns like that of "Dove" and their campaign for "real beauty". I applaud them for trying to make some changes and using real women with real curves in their ads.

i think your bf is an idiot, that or his father never taught him that it is whats inside that counts and not whats on the outside. beauty is only skin deep. my father taught all of us boys that it was the inner beauty of a woman that meant the most. even if you have put on weight on the out side your still the same person on the inside. there are alot of men in this world that loves women that have some size to them and are not skinny.

thick to obese.they don't work out,so they don't expect you to,there is ALWAYS food around and they have almost always had to take time to educate themselves and develop a personality.most of the time they are just funner to be with and they usually will do more to please there partner than those so-called hot chick with the bad attitudes.I'll take a big girl with a sense of humor over a skinny girl that complains anytime.

The same reason why guys like thin chicks instead of heavy ones. They think the sex will be better....little do they know, it doesn't  matter..sex can still be great.

Can't stand a woman with a defined six-pack.  Love a woman with a low fat almost flat abdomen.  A woman should look more like a woman than like a man.  And that means some curves; not u turns and hills, just some curves.

They're just feeling insecure because standing next to you it would be even more apparent THEY don't work out. Most men wouldn't want a woman who is stronger than them or earns more than them or has a better career. We've got to be very subtle about these things lest we offend their fragile ego!

I, for one, have never once worried about my weight - or needing to diet, to keep it in 'shape' !\n...It is the MEN and the MEDIA who are all out to brainwash us that 'skinny is sexy' and 'beanpoles are beautiful' ! How else could they market all those fancy 'diet' foods and beverages, plus 'instant reduction' cosmetic surgical techniques like liposuction - and rake in billions in profits ?\nIt is still very much a marketing MAN's world, baby : And it is going to be a real struggle, for us women to unite and stand-up against these stupes to announce : 'We are HAPPY being healthy, and well built. It is these MEN who need be slim and bony' !

I think your weight is perfect. \n\nYour husband is not fighting fair.  Explain to him that's not acceptable.  Illustrate this by yelling "small penis!" if he does not listen and does it again.\n\nEdited to add that I am glad my husband (and 1st husband) love my curves- of course there are men out there that do!

Yes. This is a hard question to ask. Now you made me even more confused lol. Let me tell you a story. I have this beautiful Asian Girl friend. She is very cute but she is short and a bit chubby that even make her look shorter. She is trying her best to get fit. I still love her but I feel that the rumor that men usually lose interest to the face and start thinking about the body is true :(

Oh my God!  No, they were being f**ktards who should probably enjoy a good evening of electro-shock to get them back on track as people.\n\nIf you're a 5'7" female, you should weigh anywhere between 127 and 159 pounds.  That would be considered ideal, so the other user (and if you can contact her through her question, please do so) was thin, and you're actually a bit underweight.\n\nI don't care what anyone else says, you're NOT supposed to be able to see the outline of your skeleton, and women are SUPPOSED to be hippy.\n\nGuys really need to spend a bit more time perusing their Boticelli and learning to appreciate the beauty the female form was supposed to possess.\n\nYou're fine, girl.  Anyone who tells you you're fat either doesn't know what they're talking about, or they're just being malicious.  In either case, you shouldn't bother listening to them.  =)

Lots of men like women with some padding.  Compromise...don't gain and only lose enough to be in the healthy range...not to have an anorexic appearance.  Be happy that he isn't that type of man to leave you because you aren't the slender thing he married...men have been known to do that.  Count your blessings!

It's a matter of tv,magazines,and the world.In easy words they just compare their body to models or other friends that have less body fat,so they think they're fat.Understand?
