[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the bikini pic women all look slim and healthy vs. just thin. I prefer more curves but if I had their bodies I wouldn't complain. [/quote]

I think they look healthy but masculine. The average man would not prefer that in bed.[/quote]

They're fit but...not feminine[/quote]

I respectfully disagree. They are all quite lean & athletic, so presumably in this poster's eyes fewer curves means less "feminine" (or something along those lines). To me, femininity has less to do with the features of a body & more to do with a person's disposition, her qualities, her grace, & her ideas about what makes one feminine. After all, I'm sure many of us have observed young girls whose bodies have not yet fully developed that we would describe as feminine.

Plus, as a petite, small boned woman there's nothing I can do naturally to make myself more curvy. There are many women out there with a body type like mine: sort of a "mini Cameron Diaz" body type- around 5'5, lean, & small breasts. If I put on weight, of course it doesn't go where I want it to go. So my choices are emphasize what I have - the athletic & lean look - by exercising & eating right, or let it go & look like a fire hydrant. And even if my body type isn't the most popular or most desirable, I like it, & I feel womanly in it. I think that's the most important thing when it comes to what is feminine.[/quote]

Thank you for this. I have the same body type as well, and I feel plenty feminine, and men have always seemed to find me very feminine as well. I get tired of hearing that you have to be super curvy to be feminine (the whole "real women have curves" thing). I'm not curvy, but I'm certainly a real woman. [/quote]

I don't think anyone's saying you need to be curvy or have big breasts to be feminine.  It's the overly muscled look that's being referred to.  I just don't think this looks attractive, though it's obviously fit, and there are plenty of ways to be a small woman without looking like this.
