As actresses and models get thinner and thinner, the media always comments on how wonderful they look. Our youth thinks that the thinner they become, the better they will look too. What our young girls are unaware of is how many of these actresses and models have eating disorders, are airbrushed to look perfect, and are not always healthy. \nFinally, last month during Fashion Week in Europe, models were sent home for being too thin. I think that sent a great message.

How much a woman eats doesn't determine how sexy she is.  Not all skinny girls are sexy. Not all big girls are unattractive. \n\nTo me, it has to do with how a woman carries herself.  Wether or not she has respect for herself and can be comfortable with who she is.

I think it is strongly related to society and the way they portray what is a good looking person and what is not the way to look. THere are so many make over shows and weight loss shows that you feel fat regardless of how you actually look. I think overweight is not a good idea because of health reasons, but stick thin is not healthy either. When more men pay attention the the "big" girls ( I use this term loosely) then maybe society will change their views. Back in the 1800's it was popular to be heavier, look at their art. Perhaps we as a society will get back to that acceptance again.

There are some girls that have a good body but still think that they are fat. That is why some girls don't wear thongs. Also, not ALL  girls are ho's

Well, look at the fashion industry and whole thin celebrities are. Young women look at these pictures and view this as whole they should be. This causes body dissatisfaction. This causes disordered eating and can lead to eating disorders. Models are 20% skinnier than the average women today, compared with only 8% skinnier 20 years ago. Because of this industry we believe that the ideal body image of women should be ultra skinny and busty, when in reality only 5% of women has this body shape. As a result, people who are overweight or even normal weight are discriminated against.

I like thick women myself - but to be honest... if thick women were promoted more in magazines.... than most people, on average, would care even less about their weight and only become fatter. Skinny chicks also tend to be bitchier than other women... so I guess they get more of what they want anyways.

thanks for inviting me to answer your ? i think the best way for me to tell you why i like larger women is to tell you why i dont like skinny women\n\n1) skinny women are shaped like skinny men. straight up and down, no curves, nothing.\n2) skinny girls seem like they feel that they are above it all, that guys should be falling at their feet.3) skinny women seem to be VERY judgemental, especially of other women. seem to feel superior to them all.\n\nin my experience and observation, a woman that has some curves seems to be more content with life, friendlier and more genuine than the skinny people. add to this that they are shaplier, curvier and just in general, healthier looking than a beanpole, i feel its a no brainer to want a heavier women.

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.

The goal's not to be real thin but to feel great about yourself and look healthy. Maybe you should just eat a healthy diet.

I think that thin can be ok to a certain extent. I agree that the celebrities that used to look healthy(Lindsay Lohan,Hilary Duff,Nicole Richey) should stop trying to follow the thin trend. The message they are sending out to teens makes them believe that you can't be pretty unless you're thin, and that is far from right. Size in our current generation has begun to hold too much importance because as you look back, Marilyn Monroe, 1 of the prettiest women ever, wore a size 14 dress.
