[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the men here who want a thin woman, I’m curious what constitutes thin? For most of my life, I had a BMI of 24-25 (also being 5’8, so fairly tall) and was made to feel that that was unacceptable for the general male population. It seems women have to be very thin-not just not obese. [/quote]

In my experience as a woman who was 19-20 BMI in my 20s,  24-25 in my late 30s and then went back to 20 BMI in my 40s - yes, the male attention changes in reverse order from BMI, in pretty drastic geometric progression between 20 and 25. The men "read" 19-20 BMI as pretty and youthful, even if the woman is not young. Ex husband didn't want to sleep with me when I was 24-25, and I was never fat! They need really thin women to get it up in many cases[/quote]

This meshes with my experience. I was 5’5” 130ish (and I am very average looking) for most of my adult life. Somehow after 2 back to back pregnancies I dropped quickly to 115-120 for several years. Wasn’t entirely sure why- Stress, breastfeeding, some ppd.

That 10-15lb difference seemed to make all the difference- DH was obsessed with me & I got way more attention from men in general. And that was without kids in tow…so that wasn’t a factor. I also was putting LESS effort into my appearance in terms of hair, makeup, clothing etc. - and was exhausted so it wasn’t my winning personality either.

It almost seems crazy to even post- but I swear that was my experience. For that short time span of a few years of being “truly skinny” vs just average. The difference in treatment was very noticeable. After a few years I started gaining weight again and got back 130-135 (still a good weigh IMO- and I was much healthier and feeling bettter) and all the extra attention disappeared. 🤣

Maybe it is just SOME men who prefer super thin women (IDK?) or maybe it is something about me specifically & I look better being very thin. But it was a very real experience for me. [/quote]
