There is a lot of emphasis on size in society now. Most men I know would not find an obese woman attractive. But then again most men would not find an anorexic attractive either. Men what is the ultimate shape for a woman in your opinion?

I am a woman, but I have conducted a similar survey myself on the men I know, and just wanted to let you know that they felt that the best figure a woman could have was largish breasts, a nice round bum and long legs. They weren't overly bothered about any tummy, they seemed to like both rounded bellies and flat ones! But definitely, in the same way that no man finds obesity a sexy look, they equally find the sight of loads of bones sticking out a total turn off.

An overweight man - depending on how overweight he is...\n\nsociety is hellbent on women being thin that most overweight guys want a avg. size/thin woman.  I see a lot of big guys with small women.  Plus big guys are like a protection and most are warm and cuddly.  I would prefer a big guy over a small guy any day.

It really depends on the man. I can't stand the stick figures they call models. I much prefer curvy.

For sure.  I am a 'big lady' and have found a very caring partner.  We have been together for 3 years and he loves my curves.  I think it's better to find someone when you are a bigger lady because you know you are with someone who is not shallow.  You are definitely loved for who you are.  When I met my partner it was totally unexpected.  There are plenty of men out there who prefer women with some meat on them.  Just be patience and he will find you.

Body size makes little difference in people. Both are considered perfectly normal. Consider the mental aspect instead of the physical aspect when if the situation is about "which type attracts more guys". :-)

I'm male and 46,  My weight is within healthly limits so my weight isn't the problem.  It's that I'm not in shape.  There is a huge problem with body image in the US.  If one is healthy and in shape.  Weight shouldn't matter.  It's come to the point where eating disorders are hitting younger and younger girls and just recently it's been reported that boys are now having the same body image problems.  Good topic!

Hi.\n\nThis is basically a cultural thing.  It really is not healthy for anyone.\n\nIn some cultures, however, being overweight, especially for women is desired.  It shows that they can tolerate stressful times (excess energy is stored up), so if there is a challenge in getting food - she'll survive.  (That is one reason)\n\nThe other reason a more robust woman may be desired is that she is direclty correlated with pregancy and motherhood, which are very desirable attributes in most cultures around the world.  In fact, in several areas sexy drawings or sculptures have been and are made of preganant women, or just large women for this reasons. - health, progenity, and fertility.\n\nLastly, in the West (the U.S.) being more and more slender has become a trend due to the fashion industry.  One era where it really started was in the 1960's with "Twiggy".  After that models began to become more slender.\n\nYou might remember from history, TV, or documentaries that they looked at Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch and Jane Russel (or Mansfield) as full-figure - GORGEGEOUS, Sexy Women.  (They were at least 20percent heavier than today's models. (go ahead and verify my percentage here - I'm going on memory) \n\nYou know - without any weight, it's pretty hard to have much of a figure: where are the breasts or hips?  You need some stored energy to have a really nice figure - at least for most women - maybe not all of them.  Some look feminine and great quite slender, others don't.\n\nUnfortunately, the more we read those fashion magazines we think we have to measure up, and that their standard is "it".  Not so.  Also, unfortunate: guys are starting to "buy into this philosphy" - for women.  That is not healthy - women/girls Don't need more pressure to fit some mold.\n\nLastly, did you know it's white women who have more of an issue with body image than black women?  It's the training, it's the sex typing, it's the culture, and it's what you expose your brain to and accept.  (I'm not making this up - this was part of my Gender Psychology class).\n\nWell, hope this adds good stuff to your answers.\n\nTake care.\ntiny feet

Most men look at those supermodels and think nice face shame about the rest....\nat the end of the day the average size of a woman in england these days is a size 14. nothing wrong with that at all. i like women who have curves and who is proud of the way she looks.\ndont want to date a stick do we.\nsophie dahl was a great shape and size and was a sexy supermodel before she went on a diet. now she is a mess.\njust be happy the way you are and if youre not then get down a gym and workout. \nbut on the otherhand men have to compete with the likes of david beckham, brad pitt and george clooney. so its the same isnt it.

Yes, because curvy is beautiful and sexy. I think the perfect figure is an hourglass because it looks great in clothes and women seem more confident. Curvy is in and thin should be out.

It shouldnt be down to the size, it should be what you feel about that person, You and many other males in this world bang on about big women, stating that they are easy lays and that they are up for anything that goes, but how many women do you hear making remarks about a blokes size, whether it be in their pants or just general body size, not many, so why not the male gender take a leaf out of the ladies book and stop being so cruel to women with uncalled for remarks and start being a bit more respectful,

Some men prefer bigger breast and some smaller ones, as some men like big butts, some men like skinny women some like curves. Differant strokes for differant folks. I would say a woman who needs a bigger penis has been around.

I'm a 19 year old guy.  I cannot speak for all guys, but being really skinny is kinda gross.  A girl in shape with some curves is best.  Even ones that are a bit on the pudgy side are much better than aneorexic ones.  And anyway, if the girl has an awesome personality, to me that can override a lot of things in terms of looks.

I really have to agree.  Women do come in all shapes and sizes.  All should love their bodies.  That's what makes us all different.  The media does put too much emphasis on being thin.  I just love what Dove is doing with their commercials, putting women of all shapes and sizes, even those who have curves and a tummy.  If you are not sure for what I am talking about, go to campaignforrealbeauty.com This is Dove's website about it.

Hi! This ones for the guys! There's nothing sexier than a man in a black muscle shirt...and he doesn't need to be bulky...if you know what I mean! Too much muscle is unattractive in my opinion. I love average build...think john Stamos! Got it?

its all a matter of preference. some guys like what some guys like.  \n\nthe real question is: why are heavy men acceptable in our socety, but heavy women arent?!

i prefer a girl with a little meat on her. not fat but i'd rather have a fat girl than a really skinny one. paris hilton is a good example of way too skinny to be atractive. you know, no one in hollywood is someone i'd consider my ideal beauty. i like girls with something to them, somwhere between 100-200 lbs. the most important factor is how you carry yourself. i met ugly fat girls with more confidence than skinny pretty girls and i would rather have the ugly girl who was confident about her looks.

LMAO you asked this - most blokes have seen thousands and thousands of images of naked women via the porn they consume.. women of every shape and size so although they may prefer a certain shape/size.. given the choice many men are not as fussy as women seem to think..\n\nIn fact, save your energy and just love who you are and do not try to establish what men like in order to see how you rate..  \n\nEspecially since, as I say, the female form is so de-valued and degraded day in day out that even if you did have the perfect shape/body/size that a certain bloke preferred, chances are you would only hold his unblinkered attention fleetingly because blokes are used to seeing women like sweets in a sweet shop..so even if he has a stunning blonde at home, he might fancy a brunnette for a change etc etc \n\nIt is a lose lose situation from female p.o.v unless you regain control, have a take me as I am attitude and realise that many men are players and you'll know he's lying when his lips move..
