So here's a visual guide for body fat percentages. Personally, I'm sitting at about 15%


For women:

I find 12% and 17% too toned.

20% to 30% are all very attractive in my opinion, 35% is passable. More than that it's too much for me but I am sure some others would like them.


I think the 25% and the 35% are the most attractive. I agree I don't think toned nor muscle looks good on a women.

My preference is slightly underweight. But think they would look more attractive with more fat on them.

The fat acceptance in women is annoying as hell. Like it's complete hypocrisy, I've heard of a Big beautiful woman, but I've never heard of big beautiful man. An attractive man has muscles and low body fat from my understanding, like it is impossible to a achieve that without doing physical work.

I find the skinny bashing is really sad and pathetic. You get no sympathy from me if you do that.

Here is Jessica Simpson that has been posted.

Isn't it obvious that she looks more attractive slimmer? Well to me it is. :shrug:

I agree that genetics play a part in how fat or skinny you are. But at the end of the day it comes down to diet. If you eat sh***y food and eat more calories than you use you are going to get fat.
For a person to lose weight that is all they need to do eat less. It doesn't have to be unhealthy either like diet pills, starving yourself, doing a crazy amount of exercise etc...I don't think that works anyway. I see the genetic thing as more of a mental thing, it's more people can't control what they eat.

So there you go, I didn't sugar coat it. :rambo:

That may be because the male equivalent is typically called "Big Handsome Man" (BHM). "Big Beautiful Man" is also used, however. There may be fewer women attracted to fat men than there are men attracted to fat women or perhaps women simply aren't as vocal about it on the Internet. :)

Women certainly are vocal about saying real men like curves though, but stay silent on the BHM. :lol:

One thing I'd say though, is that women like to be smaller than men. So being bigger is more attractive in that regard.
But you are better off having muscle rather than fat.

What's more obvious that she's at least 10 years younger in the first pic.

The thick gold belt makes her look larger in the waist,and she's photographed straight on,makes anyone look heavier.Her body is at an angle in the photo where she's younger,more flattering.I have no idea when the last pic was took,she had a baby.so she could be carrying around post pregnancy weight.

I've never dated a woman because of their body size or shape or colour. I am drawn to a sharp intelligent educated mind. I find those as sexy as hell.

If I'm sat in coffee shop or bar and just watching eye candy pass by, I notice long hair, wavy hair, expressive eyes, a wiggle in the walk and curvy even wobbly bodies.

I don't think it's the extra weight that's unattractive in those pics. It's those awful mom jeans, emphasized by the double belt. :eew:

There is a difference between being a skinny woman who is a supermodel and a skinny woman who is having to put up with their sizes being excluded in fashion, women ganging up on them because they are being brainwashed into believing being rude to a skinny girl is some rightful justice in their skewed ideas of feminism. There is way more skinny bashing than the other way around where people do it acting like their behavior is justified when it's not.

Too many women focus on another woman's weight and it appears that is all they fixate on. In their minds, if a woman is skinny, it's okay to treat her like s**t because all models are skinny however, the skinny woman they are being rude to has nothing to do with the fashion industry or is apart of it.

I've noticed that bigger women are trying really hard to make it so while they are trying to create this no name calling of us allowed, they turn around and bash skinny women behind their back and to their faces. Gossip, spread rumors and try to ruin that person's reputation. Reeks of selfishness to me and an oppressive bully.

If it were the other way around and a group of skinny girls did that to a bigger woman, that would be flat out called bullying would it not? Double standards.

Bottom line is, you aren't doing women justice by putting down other women to make yourself look better.

Are you one of those women who bash thin women? That would explain your attempts of comparing it to men's rights and stormfront. Thanks for lumping thin women tired of the double standards and bullying in with actual bullies. Women will not be getting many places because not only do we have to put up with women bashing women and hating on each other, we get it from the straight men, we get it from the gay men, we get it from the black men, we get it from the white men and the brown men. c**t, whore, b***h, slut! Women used to be way more friendly with each other before fashion magazines which it's not all the magazine's fault if you can't be bothered to stop viewing it.

So women, stop caring about being competitive jerks to each other over sizes. We get it on all fronts and stop being a bunch of cliquish superficial snobs to each other while pretending you have every right to bash another woman who doesn't have the same body you do because you know you'd get upset and cry foul if it happened to you.

Agreed, not to mention that the second pics are candids from a concert and the first ones are from a movie where sex appeal is part of her character. The first pic MR BOGAN posted looks like a promotional photo and as such would be heavily edited.

I think Jessica gets so much flack for her weight because her body carries it poorly. She looks more puffy than some people do when they gain weight.

That what men mean by curvy:
http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/ ... 48553.html

And this is what what some women want men to define as curvy:

The article also indicates there's no pressure from straight men on women to be over skinny, in fact the fashion industry (design wise) is ruled mostly by gay men and women.

^^^ To be fair, example 2 has plenty of curves.. :P

There are two many differences in body physique to focus on size anyway. In the article, men prefer the size 12, but there are so many factors that play in other than numbers that it's stupid to fixate on them.

The researchers most likely focused on size in their questions, also note that those men preferred 12 then 14, over 8.
