Think about it:\n Ladies, you wouldn't have to try so hard to stay skinny (women in magazines didn't look like 10 y/o boys back then).

I find it truly interesting that all the anwers above are from women. I agree with their answer myself, but alas I know that beauty would probably win out. At least in the case of youth. With age, hopefully, comes some level of wisdom so I , as I grow older and leave my raging hormones behind, can now look at a women as a person an not just a peice of ass. My hope is the day will come when women are not objectified and served up to hormone crazed young men like so much raw meat; but alas, this is not that day.

Your right you can't change height, Skin and bones is not good at all. Honestly i Prefer a women with curves but not huge muscle building types.

I think it's perfect. :) Your body fat is normal and plus I heard that electric scales are wrong AND the fact that our bodies gain body fat when we are about to start our period. Don't quote me on that though. :) But it's a good thing that you are trying to be healthier. Skinny doesn't always mean healthy, remember that.

My opinion is:  no.  I really don't like skinny models.  Also, I don't like really obese people.  Neither are healthy and could sustain life if it were not for a really invasive pop culture.  IMHO.  \n\nYou may use my opinion.  And may I add I have a really healthy appearance and I'm able-bodied.

I agree with you completely. I think it's old men who think girls of 16 are sweet.  I felt terrible at 16 - spotty, self-conscious and plump. (My mum thought I was gorgeous though.)

well being to thin as you grow older has been linked to osteoporosis , so have a bit of meat not to much or you will get diabetes; but slightly overweight people have more dense bones to support themselves generally speaking but it has been documented....this is assuming this overweight person is not completely sedentary....umm of course ostocal or some produsct like that is also said to improve skeletal health

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!

Love them.....  I am a 34 waist and 5'9 guy .... not a loser dude.......!  I would not give mine up for the world!

A woman is sexy because she chooses to be, not because she is a specific size.  The media says we have to be bone thin to be beautiful and until we stand up and say 'no, thank you, I'm not buying into that crap', the idiots of society (like piversonex, Scotty & hairyhairychinchin) will feel free to continue their name calling.\n\nEver notice that even fat men want skinny women?

Its media pressure to be thin. Thin is associated with everything good and beautiful.Back in the middle ages being chunky was the thing to be.cause it meant you had money to eat which was a hard thing to come by back then

I don't think so.  Think about how many girls attend your school.\nThen think about how many of them are cheerleaders. Then (lastly) think about how many of them you think care about their appearance and want to be skinny.  I am sure it's way more than the number of cheerleaders.  Cheerleader or not, girls nowadays have pressure to be thin.

it just seems to be society and instinct i guess. bigger men can be seen as strong and virile, bigger women are seen as lazy and unfit... i dont get it either but its the way of our world at the moment in many places. it used to be acceptable for women to be bigger and curvier - just look at old paintings! lots of those women had big thighs and flabby tummies - i believe it was associated with childbirth and being more of a woman after you have given birth. now people in many countries seem to want to see very very thin women with tiny waists. but its not the same everywhere, many cultures still see a larger woman as being more attractive.\n\nps ive often wondered why i cant create a larger frame for my yahoo avatar that more reflects what i actually look like? just another symptom of the way society portrays people. i believe that it used to have a larger frame for the male avatars did it not? not sure if its still there but i thought i saw one with a chubby belly.. but didnt see bigger ones for the gals... thats just something i wondered about ;)

I would, and plan on it in the near future. I'm 48, but was over 325 pounds at age 42.  I changed how I ate, and concentrated on veggies, protiens, dairy and low-sugar fruits.  I got rid of processed sugars, starches, and those things that kept my metabolic rate low.  I've lost over 170 lbs. in the past 5 years, and since I had already had my children, and my skin was so stretched, it didn't shrink back the way a younger woman's would.  So...I have skin that needs to be removed, and I've lost a lot of the fullness in my breasts.  So yes, I would but because this is something I need, and want, to make ME feel good about myself! :)

I personaly think slim,petite and average size is sexy. But I have seen some above average ladies that have turned my head and grabbed my attention. It's really all about how you carry yourself and how confident you are with yourself. Sometimes thick can be sexy. But all in all i like petite,slim healthy ladies..NOT BONEY!
