We have plenty of wealthy friends and none of the women are the skinny, surgically enhanced women described bp OP. Admittedly, we don't run in the big city black tie charity set where that may be prevalent. I think I'm pretty typical as I'm 5'5" and weigh 145 for a BMI of 24.1 which is at the high end of "normal weight". I'd love to get down to 135 but at 55 it seems to get tougher to lose weight. Would my husband like me to be skinny? I'm sure he'd like me to be 135 but at 120 pounds there would not be much for him to grab onto and since we have a very active sex life he seems quite happy. I think most men have a preference for women who may carry some extra pounds but are active and pretty fit. |
Man here - very skinny women don't look good naked. |
Exactly. Overweight women have no problem telling you how thin you are, but not in a complimentary way. Can you imagine if we did that to them!? I’d have a black eye once a week.. |
I am business owner Latin male doing really well at 42.
OK body is just fine. Not into skinny and ok with plus eight so long sex Drive is high. |
How many children do you have? |
Uhh you have no clue what you are talking about. I am 5'6 137 lbs and a size 6. I am nowhere near overweight, and my BMI is 22 |
The skeleton look ages women and looks good on NO ONE. |
Skinny is the societal ideal. You know that. Don’t be obtuse. I agree it’s not as sexy as a woman with some meat. But sexy and conventionally attractive are not always the same thing. |
I think this is closer to the truth. People hang out with people of their own class. Wealthy people feel social pressure to be thin and fit. They have the resources to make that happen. They meet and marry those in their class who also happen to be thin and fit. Or as someone else mentioned they want to signal their class status by their choice of mate, and the higher caste ones are thin and fit. BUt, as someone else mentioned, they may truly desire someone thicker or curvier. That's what APs are for. |
Step outside of your bubble and get some fresh air today. |
I think OPs question isn't referring to Angelina Jolie, Calista Flockhart skinny. Which to me is very unappealing. But to healthy looking women that have curves in all the right places . Those body types are what most men want if given a choice, trust me. It’s all about options and rich men have them. I always say that if you give a man his pick in a mate, he will pick the most proportioned one every time. Average size breasts, small waist, and nice hips with normal BMI. It’s a scientific fact. |
A BMI of 18 is considered underweight. You clearly have a disordered relationship with weight and food, and should not give advice. |
Apparently people are also getting more and more accepting of being illiterate. Maybe take some time away from the gym and from patting yourself on the back, and take a refresher course in the English language. |
I think the “illiterate” poster will live a much longer healthier life than the overweight grammar police. Deflection as usual. |
Maybe it's me, but I don't think 10 lbs visually makes much of a difference. It's not even a full clothes size. |
