:confused: What makes you say that? I have not once in my life come across someone who has referred to bigger than a C cup breasts as ridiculous.

 

And what C cup are we talking about? AFAIK the german and US bras are different, a german C is more like an american B.

 

I wouldn't call breasts bigger than a C cup ridiculous. But I would say that IMHO breasts bigger than a C cup would be larger than I would prefer, especially on an average-frame-sized woman (to be measurable, I would say this means a 5'6" 130# or so). Also IMHO if a woman had smaller than that size naturally and had implants larger than that I would say that I would disagree with her both that that would be necessary to attract the largest number of guys statistically speaking.

 

All that is referring to American size C. Didn't know that German sizes were different. Maybe they use metric? :p

Sigh...and we coulda been so good together! Oh well, I guess I'll take another Boont and get me a Grandslam later.

 

Seriously, though - I can't imagine a worse form of torture than the type of thinking that is evidenced in some of these posts. All fat/height/bone structure/celebrity look-a-liking aside - the obsessive need to be viewed as attractive by the greatest segment of men based upon some sort of abitrary ratio is a recipe for pain. There are so many wonderful things in this world (including bacon and beer) that you are missing out on by filling your head with this tripe.

 

Go out and meet some guys and don't ask them if your a** looks big in your jeans! Life is too damn short to spend it worrying about your score-card.

 

 

Yes! Great post and I agree with you and am working on implementing this in my life. Obsessing over what's attractive and food and weight is torture and we really should accept our bodies as our bodies are happiest. It sounds like you have done that, jcster!

Glad to find this thread. I'm 5'2 and have always weighed between 106 and 110.

 

Recently I have gained weight and now weigh 120, the most I've ever weighed in my life! Psychologically, it's weird. I have never worried about weight, and here I am wondering if it's okay to be where I am.

 

BUT, I like it! I have bigger boobs. A whole cup size up, 32C. My waist is still small.

 

What I don't like is the little extra curve to my hips which were already curvy enough. My butt is a bit bigger, but still a nice heart shape. A little belly pouch, though....oh well.

 

The best part of it is that I look YOUNGER. People think I am in college. (Yeah, right, 15 years ago!) I think it's because I've gained weight in my face and have no little lines. My skin is smooth and rosy.

 

So, I'm keeping the weight on. I like looking softer and more feminine. I feel sexier, too.

 

But, I understand the fear of my body image not measuring up. It's scary.

I am 5'10 and when I weigh between 175-180 and workout regularly I think I look great and feel awesome about myself. I definitely am big boned and at that weight (size 10-12) I still have some junk in the trunk, boobs and decent curves. I have accepted the fact that if I will never be able to fit into a size 6 or even an 8 without having mono for like a year and being not very healthy and hence not very attractive. Sometimes people just have to remember that you will never appeal to everyone so why even try. Accept who you are, work with what you have got and stop stressing about the little things.

Hmm, Spookie, I don't know how your frame is built, but at 5'8 and 135, you must already be pretty slim. 5'8 and 125? You might not find certain things, like taking a bath, very comfortable.

 

I had body issues for awhile in my late teens (not full blown anorexia but still) and at the time I scaled my weigh down to 127 at 5'8 because I really wished to weigh 125 pounds, like the rest of my 5'4 friends. I started losing my hair, my periods stopped and those ribs on top of my chest that Tan was talking about definitely showed (And Tan, I agree, GROSS). Not to mention I lost boobs. When I look at pictures of that time, I realize how unhealthy I looked.

 

Why not just be happy with your current weight?

 

I'm not unhappy about it. I could just be happier.

 

Even though I'm 5'8, I have a really small frame (long but very thin bones), so at 135, I have quite a bit of fat that I could stand to lose.

 

People can look different and be more or less healthy at the same weight. I agree that losing hair, stopping periods, etc is really unhealthy and unattractive.

 

I was under 110 at the same height in high school though, and of course I understand about hips and breasts (although, why hips? What are hips and what makes them heavier as we get older?), but it was the best I looked (in fact I did some modeling), and I was definitely healthy.

 

Of course 110 is not my goal now, even 115 would be too ambitious, but still. I think I'd look better 10-15 pounds lighter.

 

 

Spookie and Kamille- I am the same height as you (5' 8"), and I am about 143lbs, which is just right for our height. In fact, at a recent medical I came up as slightly underweight (!!)

 

I am a UK size 10 (US 6) on the top and a sz 12 (US 8) on the bottom. I am pretty well toned, fit and go to the gym regularly, and eat a normal balanced diet with the odd slip up here and there. (Wine/ choc etc) I must be at my ideal weight, because I have been around this weight for nearly 10 years, give or take five lbs here and there.

 

I could be slimmer I guess, but I FINALLY think I look good, WB thinks I look good, and I have never had trouble attracting guys. I also love good food and cooking too much to seriously diet long term, but I can't stand fast food or take-aways.

 

The only time I have seriously lost weight was when I had a nervous breakdown and went down to 133lbs. I looked TERRIBLE. I was skinny, and my face looked gaunt and sallow and I had big black circles under my eyes. At the time I was really pleased with the weight loss, but my head was ALL OVER THE place and I was a bit of a nutcase TBH.

 

I would much rather be happy and have the extra few pounds..... tried on a wedding dress today, and even if I do say so myself, it looked lovely.

 

Spookie- I am sure you look great. Don't lose any more weight!

 

Congrats on WB and the upcoming wedding! You sound really happy nowadays, and I'm happy for you! I am sure you looked stunning in those wedding gowns.

Eat healthy food, exercise more, do sports now and then... should be fine. If looking good means you gotta lose some weight, then do it. Do it the right way! Personal trainer really helps for those who can spend extra cash every month or so.

Guys, if a woman is not your exact physical ideal, how does it impact the way you relate to her?

 

In other words, would you date her anyway if she was likable or is she only friend material?

 

Would you find yourself not as aroused in her presence or when thinking of her?

 

Would it affect your ability to perform in bed if she didn't meet your ideal?

 

Could you marry a woman who did not meet your physical ideal if she had other great qualities?

The ideal is just that and not a necessity. I find women of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds attractive. Personality and attitude are what's sexy. There are plenty of woman with super bodies who can turn me off once they start talking.

 

As long as I find her physically attractive and there is chemistry the rest of her qualities and how we get along are most important.

Yes, but men are less picky than women and the answer is in your own thread

 

Wome will marry men they aren't sexually attracted to, but they soon cut out most of the sex, while men will generally continue sexually

Was I really pale?
I don't really remember to be totally honest. You were in Florida, but the weather was kind of bad, so I don't remember if you managed to tan

Well...

 

Men like women that are hot only.

 

Like "this"

 

And men don't like women that are fat.

 

Like "this"

 

It's very simple.

Not really.

 

Give a guy a girl that is kind of like the first one, give and take a few pounds, give and take eye color, hair color/style etc, he's in.

 

Give a guy a girl like the second one, give and take a few pound, 20 pounds even, change the hair style, put cute clothes, it's still a no go.

If you speak that generally, then women are the same. They'd rather be with someone who is fit and muscular then obese.. Everyone wants to be with someone who is healthy and sexually attractive. Just some put more priority in that then, say, personality.

 

So I really don't think you can make such large generalizations like that. If the attractive girl had a real bitchy attitude I don't think many guys would stick around.

Yep. The question of "ideal body type" is just as simple as hot-not hot.

That would just make her a winner.

 

Hot "and" bitch? Bingo all the way.
