diamondbloke Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I was watching Chicago last night for the first time, and had just seen Bridget Jones' Diary a few weeks ago. Anyhow I was horrified at how Rene looked in Chicago. Ok perhaps startled would be better than horrifed. But egg-gads she looked like a 12-year old boy before he develops muscles. Yuck. I was watching the special features afterward and they were showing reshearls. I saw a shot of someone in a white tank-top and was thinking man that guy has a weird hair cut for a guy, but it was Rene! This is just my opinion but as a guy I am sick of the whole thin thing. I don't know who thinks guys find this body type attractive, but most of my buddies don't. In any case with dating, it is important for both people to be healthy and OK with their bodies or working toward some goal. This is just my opinion on thin-ness, but I thought Queen Latifah looked a LOT more healthy than Rene did. The bottomline is health and energy to do things in a relationship, be accepting of our bodies (both men and women), and have goals to be healthy and look good. But egads most of the women presented as beautiful by fashion magazines are toothpicks. I found it ironic that Sports Illustrated ran a new model search this year and the girl who won the most votes was VERY curvy. She had, in fact, been told by fashion people before (she had tried to break into modeling) that she was too full upfront. In any event I expect that what most men want, and the ideal image women are shown are two entirely different things. Rene was hot in Bridget Jones (all the way through), she was a 12-year old boy in Chicago. Yuck! Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 pant*pant* pant* [insert sound of running feet here] Where are you? I'm coming! [running with arms open and ***** bouncing!] Here I am! I'm NOT a skinny stick figure! I have CURVES! Healthy Curves! LOL! JK-I'm still married! I know a lot of men will admit that they don't like the stick-thin model types, but the younger men seem to be more afraid of admitting it to their friends, or even to themselves for fear of teasing by their peers. Yay for the man who knows what he likes! You have more to choose from in the real world too! Link to post Share on other sites

faux Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I like very slender figures. The last girl I was dating was 5'7" tall, 110 pounds. I was on a date yesterday with someone who is 5' tall and 95 pounds. One person was 5'3" and 96 pounds, another 6'1" and stick thin (Now a model, forget her exact weight). Then again, I have also been involved with women who were more filled out. I tend to like those very slender figures, however. There has to be some padding in places, however. I don't want to feel rib cages and spinal cords....:::yick!:: Link to post Share on other sites
quankanne Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 pant*pant* pant* [insert sound of running feet here] Where are you? I'm coming! [running with arms open and ***** bouncing!] Here I am! wanna lease him out to me on weekends so I can also hear these sweet nothings whispered to me? I dunno, diamond – most guys have heavily bought into the "she's gotta look like a model" thing, and don't give so-called "heavier women" a second look. And there are some very lovely women (and men) who are aren't model thin and who are overlooked. My first boyfriend, the Anus Pore, would always oogle those perfectly built women, especially those in magazines like Playboy. But, when I'd gripe, he'd tell me that men tend to prefer women with a little meat on them. If that was the truth, then why the hell don't they back that up by demanding pin-ups and models who've got real curves, of real-live women? It's bad enough that most women have hang-ups about their bodies -- whether they're healthy or not -- without having to deal with their men looking at and desiring those unrealistically built "babes." I think this is the main reason why so many gals feel threatened by pornography and strippers: they see their men attracted to women who look that good, and make their partners feel like crap because they come nowhere near looking like those women. on the flipside, when I was a single young hoochie, I tended to avoid slim guys to boink because I learned it was very hard to get into a good bout of sex when said guy's hip bone was grinding into me (and I had flesh to spare)!

einahpets Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 ya know, some of us are naturally skinny. and whether you are fat, skinny or in between hurtful remarks about someones body are not cool. skinny people have feeling too. if you don't like someone because they are skinny or fat, you are shallow. so what if insecure people are jumping on the skinny bandwagon. these people have problems with their body image and it can be just as bad as a fat person feeling bad about their weight. bashing people because of how they look is no way to make things better. if you think our society has problems because so many people want to be thin, then you need to think of a better way to change it. let me tell you, this way is not doing a damn bit of good.

This has nothing to do with people being naturally skinny or not. It is a about a choice - that of no matter how your body is, to try to be as thin an possible. I like being thin, I like sports, I like being active and I like chocolate. As for the society, one starts changing it by changing themselves first. Must be about the power of the example .

I completely agree with you. I am sick of people bashing skinny girls like us- we are skinny by nature. If I put on some weight, I would be seriously unhealthy given my body size. Most people see skinny people and assume that we must have an eating disorder or we diet ourselves to death. This is not true!!!! I just want to be healthy, and if that means I am skinny, then so be it. If by genetics I was a bit bigger but still healthy, I'd be happy with that too. Bottom line is, just because we are skinny, it doesn't mean we are unhealthy. Ultimately, I choose to be healthy. diamondbloke - I really do not appreciate your comments. It's okay to have preferences, but to say that someone looks "horrifying" because they are skinny, is just rude. If some guy on here started bashing fatter women, you know that everyone would be on his case. Link to post Share on other sites
supermom Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I think it was meant for girls who do have eating disorders and try. You can pretty much tell the difference, because there are other signs. I do not like it when very skinny ppl are like "oh my god I am sooo fat It makes me want to puke myself. I am 125lbs and 5'4 and totally happy w/ my weight. I eat like a horse (sometimes more than my husband) and I don't care. I LOVE FOOD!!

einahpets Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 i remember in high school during my physical by the school nurse being asked if i threw up after meals, like i was too young to know what she was emplying. or people saying -ha, ha. didn't see you there, you were standing sideways. or do you ever eat? i have tried everything to gain weight from protein shakes to fatty foods. i am so excited when i gain a couple pounds. i would love to be curvy. most women naturally are, we bear children. but i am naturally skinny and i have come to accept that. my dad was 120 lbs when he married my mom. i get it from him. i just don't get how people think it is ok to make fun of people because they look a certain way. i hate to even bring this up but it is kind of like the way it is ok to be racist twards white people. it is ok to be nasty to someone who is skinny because that is what "society loves" and if you are then it is ok to criticize you. how the hell is it ok to make fun of renee z. because of her eyes or weight? if you want to talk about her maybe you should talk about her acting or her personality. she can't help the way her eyes are, we are all born a certain way. can you help the way you look? i think a lot of people here are shallow. i think she looks better w/more weight on her too. but it is none of our business.

Fritz Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Well, everyone has preferences and there are far too many women who starve themselves to death thanks to the media. Skinny girls who have bones showing scare me though. I can understand naturally skinny people being hurt by some comments tho. Try being a hairy guy these days. Link to post Share on other sites
Paradise Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I'm a health freak and I excercise regularly. I do not like super skinny gilrs or super-size girls...but main thing is that they are healhty. Little love handle or little skinny is okay, but good size bumpers are always a plus.... Skinny girls who have bones showing scare me though. I agree... Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Spock Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Ha Curly, I'd rather have bold... I'm tall. Not "big boned" but tall. Skookum. I personally enjoy glaring at salesgirls when I can't find anything larger than a 5 on the sale rack and say "Size FIVE...if I ever meet one, I'll squish her" I personally don't trust men who like really tiny thin women, especially taller men. I won't tell you why because I don't want to start a HUGE argument but you might be able to figure it out. Or just PM me. I retain immense satisfaction in knowing that soon, all the stick thing teenagers metabolisms will start to slow and they'll fill out like normal people. It happened to me. 5'9(and a bit) and 135 pounds makes for skin skin skinny..... Link to post Share on other sites
Ms_Sweetness Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I agree that some people are just made to be skinny. I was once really skinny (or at least I thought so). But now I'm 5ft3 130lbs, and sometimes I still feel a little on the thin side. Link to post Share on other sites
Pyrannaste Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I am not exactly 'naturally' skinny but I'm 5' 4'' and for the last years I have managed to keep my weigh around 105-110 pounds. I have no breasts (a cup A, which btw I absolutely love ) and I tend to gain weight on the lower part of my body. Which means that when I have decent legs/tights you can feel my spinal chord and count my ribs. So I have to balance the two things and forget having skinny legs. When I used to weigh 130 pounds I was absolutely unattractive. No guy would ever ask for my number. Now, perhaps this was just a self-confidence and self-esteem thing, but I got the idea that when your face is *not* pretty and when you have no breast your only option is trying to keep slender and going for the guys who like slender girls. Funny thing is, I get a few 'I don't find you attractive because you are too skinny' comments and they don't bother me one bit. Perhaps because they are always from guys who like big breasts and would not find me attractive any way. I just find it annoying when guys (who would not like you anyway because they go for a different type of girls) tell you "hey, you should really gain weight". Another funny thing is....I find bones showing very attractive on me and on many NOT anorexic ladies, but to me guys who tend to date only whose bones you can feel and who find bones showing a turn on are **scary**, if this makes any sense. This sounds a bit like "I would never date a guy who has the same tastes as me" , but perhaps I just want to feel free to put on some weigh without stopping being attractive to my man when I am in a relationship. Or perhaps I secretely find men who go *only* for very skinny girls controlling. Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 find bones showing very attractive on me and on many NOT anorexic ladies, Ick! To me, people with bones showing through the skin look positively unwell. People ought not have edges! Link to post Share on other sites
CurlyIam Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 Guys are sometimes funny! I'm a 5'57 and I weight 126 lbs. It's average, but due to my constitution - I've precticed a lot od sports as a child, I have got a flat tummy, nice legs, not too much breasts... What I like is that I can get skinnier and still preserves the curves. But not the boobs! I am under no way skinny, I am slender, but you won't remark me because of my being thin. And my bf wants me to gain weight! It makes me love him more. I mean, yeah, I know, he's into cup D type a girl, but I won't try to fulfill his fantesy and gain more weight for it. He respects my decision. Isn't too happy about it, but respects it. The funny part is that each time we go out he orders desert for me! What can I say, he keeps trying ! I like being spoiled!

Mr Spock Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I am attracted to men who are attracted to me-that may sound silly but I probably wouldn't be attracted to a man who didn't think I was hot.....it's 95 percent personality anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
TreeHugger Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I feel sooo validated!!! I am completely voluptuous! I'm happy in my skin, active in my life and have a balanced self confidence...not to mention the full D cup! (Love my breasts!!!) LOL I have noticed that it is not the size, shape or the amount of hair that makes a person attractive/unattractive...its the entire package! I love a great personality! A person who is comfortable just being themselves is completely sexy!!! And I would have to agree that bones digging into my thighs really sucks...and a man with hair...LOVE IT!!!

Ab - so - flippin' - LUTELY! A bright fellow with an engaging personality is sooooo attractive yes, yes, yes! my bf and i used to live next to each other in the same apt. building. our roommates started dating and everyone was trying to get us to hook up. i didn't really find him attractive, he totally wasn't my type. but he is funny and has the most amazing personality, we became best friends. well he pursued me for over a year, even though his friends were telling him to forget me. we slept in the same bed every night, curling up together watching movies (though nothing happened). well one day he left for the weekend and i couldn't believe how much i missed him curled up with me at night. just hours after he got back we slept together, and even as we were having sex that first time, i knew i loved him. we have been together for 2 yrs and have plans to get married. just goes to show you, you can't judge people on the way that they look. otherwise i would have missed out on the love of my life. it makes me mad when people judge people like that. so renee z. may be incredibly thin w/scwinty eyes. can you tell me anything else about her? how about her personality, her health? what about her life experiences, has she donated to charities? what do you really have to base your judgment on? our self worth has to be based on more that solely physical traits!
