Skinny but in a healthy way.Being very overweight and lacking energy is bad,but so is being anorexic and having bones show all over your body.So,it's best to be in shape and look fit.

i like a bit curvey.  My ex was too skinny i did not like it.  I dont understand anorexics(DONT KNOW HOW TO SPELL) They would look much nicer naturally.

Personally I like a woman that is thicker. However some women are just to overweight. The problem is not men its the way that the magizines and TV have programmed everyone into thinking that an attractive woman has to have a figure like a pencil which I find revolting. There are men out there for everyone you just have to find him. Set your standards and never settle and you will have a great guy.

i am 5 one and a half, 25, and 128 lbs. i have always been the skinny one in the group. if you have a little more cushion in your hips, behind, and breasts, believe me you will appreciate this in about 6 years when your "skinny" friends are flat as a bored with no a $ $ !\n\nreal women have curves. boo yah!

This is tricky question.  I want to be sure of what I am answering.  My friends and I all agree that 10 pounds too heavy is better than ten pounds too light.  So we actually prefer a "real" woman complete with curves (love those curves ;) ).  If you are asking why men prefer a weight height proportionate woman to an obese woman that is a different question.  The truth is (this will shock you) that generally speaking thinner women are more self confident.  Large women carry a chip on thier shoulder and often do not believe they are attractive and so they are not.  Half of a woman's beauty is in her self confidence.  If she is confident it it shows and if she is not she will be an emotional burden.  Constantly reassuring someone that you love them when they see no reason to love themselves is an overwhelming thing.  \n\nNow as for the other half... the physical fact is, I suspect that some of the answer is biological, that is a thinner women appears to be a fitter candidate for bearing and nurturing children.  Part of it is certainly cultural.  Part of it is also the idea that if you pick a thin one they will live longer and thus you will have more time with them.  They have also proven that they have self control (please no flames, I know about thyroids and etc, but a lot of obese people simply eat too much of the wrong foods and do too little of the right physical activities, sorry it's the truth!) and thier ability to care for themselves hints that they will be able to care for thier significant other  and/or children.  \n\nIn short the most attractive thing to a man is health, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and the care of the body can be used to an extent to judge the health of the individual.

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.

I'd rather have the in shape guy. I'm not emphasizing good looking, that would be great but isn't mandatory. HOWEVER, if I'm investing enough of myself and time into someone that I have sex with them? I want them to stick around for awhile. Penis size seems irrelevant if you have to be air lifted from your bed for emergency surgery after that heart attack. Someone that fat literally lives on their deathbed, usually with clogged arteries, gout, or diabetes.No thanks.

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.

Not all dudes like skinny women! No one in my family would even bring a girl home if she didn't look like she could handle herself/or has handled her business at the dinner table.\n\nI am totally of the belief that the person God designed to be your mate is attracted to your body as it was designed (including someone's set point).  Women worry about their weight all too often and don't realize that it is irrelevant if a dude thinks you're fat. Why do we do this to ourselves? Different strokes for different folks, and if he's not interested in strokin' ya ...well, there will be others!

I appreciate your question. It really comes down to taste buds. truly, it is no more rational than that. Of course, society greatly influences our tastes. There used to be a time when curvier women were very socially desirable. Sadly, we live in the post-Kate Moss age. Personally, if I had to choose, I would prefer a woman with curves over a woman who is very thin. You should also know, body type is only one of several very important characteristics that make a woman attractive. But we will leave those thoughts for another question.

It's really not often about the body, and especially not about wieght.  Most women feel that they need to be increadably skinny, and for most of them, that level of thinness is unrealistic.  It is more about the way she acts and her personality than about how she looks.\n\nA woman with a good body and a bad personality can get along fine for a while, but eventually any guy she is with will get tired of her attitude.  A woman who is not physically attractive to the man she is interested in and has a bad personality, has no chance of a happy relationship.\n\nIn general, women are more concerned about their bodies than men are.  Most men have no problem with their woman putting on some wieght, it can make a woman far more attractive, but most women begin to get worried when they think they are getting "fat."\n\nI've always prefered a woman with some shape and a fun personality, especially when she has a good outlook.  A woman with some good curves, a little fat to soften her midsection, wide hips, and a good amount of fat to soften her butt...hmmmm, nummy.  Sorry, got off on a tangent for a minute there.\n\nThe best girlfriend I ever had had a healthy amount of fat on her, and the most attractive woman I ever met was a 40 year old woman who had what you might call a naturally seductive personality.  It's not about the body, it's about the person.

I find chunky women very attractive.  I like a little meat on my bones.  Don't care for the skinny, anerexia type.  A little chunky is sexy to a lot of men.  Don't think that they are just hitting on you.  If you are pretty outside and in, that's the secret to being attractive no matter what your weight.

No, I would love you the same. It's a nice thought but it would get boring to hear the same thing over and over, day in and day out. You'd have to throw an occasional "you are so skinny" too :-) he he he

I'd have to go with NO SEX, NO RELATIONSHIP. And I say this only because I am a loner more than anything. I do look at beauty as being skin deep, so it isn't so much the other person being really really fat.

Muscular, because I want a guy with some meat on his bones. I just feel that a skinny guy couldn't do anything for me (i.e. protect me).
