Men like me better heavier

That is your perception of what they want. Not what they actually want.

I guess it depends how weight is distributed. If you tend to gain around your middle, then yes men generally find that less desirable

Let Sir Mix-a-Lot explain:

Little in the middle but she got much back.

You should do whatever is best for you and your body, don't change your weight based on what other people like.

I don’t. I practice intuitive eating and I work out. This post is about moderate body positivity. Men might say things like “just don’t be fat” but their definition of fat is like 230 lbs, not 130.

Meh, Ive heard men say that anyone over 150lbs is fat, but 5'9 and 150 is quite thin.

I think the more apt statement is "men are dumb"

I wouldn't call that "quite thin." It isn't fat, but it isn't "quite thin" either.

I am 5’6” 150 and quite thin. Not skeletal, but comfortably wearing size 2-4 clothes. Body composition matters. 150 at 5’9” can easily look unhealthy skinny.

Lol what you are not heavy, this title is misleading. Go up to 150+ lbs at 5’4” and then report back if men like you heavier

[Anonymous]

130 and 5'4 is not even heavy depending on your body type, so it makes sense. It's not 150 which would be matronly.

Yup. I've been it (when I was much younger). I was very very thin, and suffering from health problems. But some people just hear the number and think they know everything about your body (like pp LOL).

"Couldn't keep their eyes off me" isn't the same as "like me better". I stare at people regardless of how they look. Maybe you had a stain on your shirt.

Man here. And I like my women curvy, as do lots of other men.

150 at 5’6 is not thin.

As I said not skeletal but lean. I have a good amount of muscle on me. Women who are lighter than me can look chubbier than me for that reason. At 135 I look emaciated. Most people judge thin or not by what they see and not the number on the scale they in most cases have no idea about.

I think I look best at 120. When I was over 130, men couldn’t keep their eyes off me. When I was 112, people randomly asked if I was feeling OK (not entirely because of my weight, but because I did actually look tired and weak all the time).

Yeah I agree. I like myself best when I'm a size 2 (feel light and like how clothes fit) but I think I look better and get more attention when I'm a size 4.

In my 20s I weighed between 115-135, I’m 5’6”. At 115 all the women in the office would compliment me for being thin, at 135 I got a ton of male attention at bars, clubs, and even just walking down the street. Seems like lots of men like T&A and women are impressed by skinny.
