Thin, average, or chunky. Fashion models, playboy bunnies, Girls Next Door, quiet girls, party girls, bookish girls... the list goes on. So, I sort of agree, but I sort of don't.

This is PJM taking over Chickenlady's account again.
Women who are not model perfect are far, far better in every way.
Chickenlady is just amazing, fantastic and perfect in every way.
I could go on and on all day about just how wonderful she is.
And I'm just not good enough for her.

I hope you shower chickenlady with gifts and flowers and the like, and show her how a classy lady should be treated. :)

Naturally skinny women don't have that sunken face look and just seem to suit their shape.
I got to eleven stone once but it made me look like shit.
And in answer to your question. Most men like a bit of something to get hold off. IMHO

Just like men will put up with my over-abundance of something to grab hold on because of mine.

i've usually preferred the curvy side of things. however, my wife is kind of skinny. judging from my own experience, i think that most men who ``prefer'' curvy/rounded/slightly fat don't have a preference either way -- they're just not put off by rolypoliness.

But as long as they are "natural" looking (i.e. not heavy on the make-up, not constantly obsessed with their appearance) that's alright my me. Speaking as a lesbian, like.
Women look good with curves. I'm talking Angelina Jolie (natch) but also peple like Alyson Hannigan, Kat Bax, Marlene Dietrich, Dita Von Teese....
I could go on....but I won't as it's past my bedtime :-)

i fall in love with the person, not her tits, although i do admit to having limits
for porn/erotica i prefer a more pneumatic girl, with a comfy looking arse

The problem is that what this article calls "super-attractive women" are, increasingly, those dictated by gay fashion designers, who are convinced that the most attractive sort of woman is one who has the figure of a teenage boy.
Now, I appreciate that women who are naturally "petite" can look very nice with sort of shape, but most look better if they just let their curves form naturally, rather than trying to starve said curves out of themselves. If nothing else, they'll look happier and healthier that way, and I think it's far more refreshing to see a woman who's comfortable with her own body shape.

I eat like a horse and still don't put on weight, so does that make me less feminine?
( , Fri 12 Jun 2009, 0:02, Reply)

I realise I don't necessarily account for everyone with that rant, and I do know women who are tall rather than petite and still look perfectly feminine.
My main point is basically that women - in fact, people generally - will look best if they play to the natural figure their body assumes and just try to stay healthy. I realise that some women aren't blessed with the figure they'd like, but this reinforces my objection to the stereotypes prescribed by fashion designers - if we didn't let them tell us what to wear then perhaps we could all be a little more comfortable with the way we are. Men and women alike look happier and healthier by trying to be comfortable with their natural figure, and that's got to be a hell of a lot more attractive to the respective opposite sex.

If this gets publicised enough, it may influence the model industry and may even aid the combat against eating disorders.
