My guess is different men like different things - some like overweight, some like skinny, some like in-between.
I am always astounded by the hypocrisy of posters who combat negative comments about someone being overweight by slating thin women and saying men would prefer other women over them. It rather weakens your argument when you are doing exactly what you are ranting against, albeit to a different group of people (thin women).”
This.
I *hate* this notion of the "real woman" - meaning a curvy woman - there's the absolute implication that a thinner woman is therefore
not a real woman, or something worse purely because she's thin. It's
exactly the same thing as calling a larger woman names because she's larger.
Can we not just move on from the whole topic of weight? What does it matter if they're size zero or size thirty?
