I am a physically fit, health conscious guy and I only find chubby/curvy women attractive

For example, Marilyn Monroe (35" bust/22" waist/35" hips) was a curvy woman because her waist was 13" smaller than her bust and hips. She was 5'5" and 120 lbs so not overweight or obese. She was statistically average for a woman of her height and build. She was only a size 12 by 1950 standards. By modern standards, she would be a size 4, maybe 6 at most.

There's no way she weighed only 120. Unless she was actually much shorter.

Her measurements are a matter of public record. Also, we have her clothes. The clothes that were too small for her/she had to be sewn into them would be a modern size 2. Based on that, she would comfortably fit a modern size 4.

In the late 50s, she did gain some weight (maybe as high as 140). But she weighed around 120 for most of her life.

The assumption that thin women are anorexic, workout obsessed, and look like little boys is tiresome. As is this delusional idea that the men who are attracted to them must be closeted homosexuals or pedophiles. I am what some of you are describing as skinny - 5'6, around 117 pounds. I do not look like a prepubescent boy (or girl), I am not "flat and straight." I have small breasts (not "flat") but an hourglass shape (with the golden ratio mentioned earlier). I have a perky little bubble butt. I have thin legs and yes even a thigh gap, but my legs have shape and muscle definition. I do not starve myself in any way, and I have never lacked male attention. Yes, straight males. I am so tired of this absolute hate and vitriol toward naturally thin women and the guys who are attracted to them. I know there is a movement toward acceptance of all body types, shapes, and sizes, but while it is "body shaming" to imply someone is too large, it seems it's now perfectly acceptable to be hateful toward those who are thin.

I'm a size 12 woman and my boyfriends have always been in great shape. I am in pretty good shape healthwise, but haven't been thin since I was 25.

My teen DD is the same as you, hence different as she is a teen. She is not "rail thin," she is beautiful and sadly she even thinks she is too heavy! But, people who think that height and weight are without curves are probably overweight and lost any perspective on what "normal" looks like.

Marilyn Monroe is a modern size 8 on top and smaller than a size 0 on the bottom - the waist would have to be taken in, size 0/2 has a 24” waist. Unlike the DCUM definition of curvy which is at least a modern size 14+, 40”, 32”, 42.5”

Good for you OP for knowing what you like. I watched The Shape of Water this weekend, and I was so grossed out by Sally Hawkins. Seeing her naked was not attractive. Women with curves and a little meat are attractive. Bones are not sexy.

Sizes are BS today. Somehow I gained some weight and bought size 2 jeans from Gap and they are too big! When I was 18 a wore size 4!

This thread really brought out the nasty trolls.
I'm overweight and I think I'm very average if not ugly, but my love life has been really decent. I know this sounds cliche, but sometimes folks are attracted to the whole package- not just looks. But I tend to hang with very creative men that like books and make art because I'm an artist too. My 7 year relationship now is the best in my life. My partner adores me and we have a Damn good sex life. We're all flawed. I'm sure the folks calling people fatty have some serious personality flaws.

Kim has a small waist and is a classic hourglass - no one considers that fat. Fat women are never a classic hourglass and have their "curves" in all the wrong places.

Kim is fat, she needs to lose 30 lbs,

In what world is an 8-10 chubby? Not mine.

In today’s world. With the vanity sizing we have today, a size 8 - 10 is equivalent to a true size 12 - 14.

It seems so common to make sure people of a certain size are shamed, or that someone (like OP) who likes women who are not skinny must be silenced or denied.

Why can't you just, like, not be attracted to the people you are not attracted to, and let it go? Why are you so invested in making them feel bad (well, trying to )?

So strange. You have a wife, you are into her -- so why does it matter SO MUCH that other people be unhappy?

Hmmm.

It's bizarre. Happy, satisfied people don't act this way, they are too busy being happy and having sex with people the size they prefer!
