As an aside, skinny by itself is not really attractive. I'm more interested in fit and toned and couldn't care less about the number on the scale. Healthy is certainly more attractive.
Always!. I think it's funny that ladies get all excited about claims that guys love overweight women and fat shaming. MEanwhile these ladies aren't lining up for the plus sized men.
Beauty norms for men have always been muscular and lean. Not so for women. It's really in the past hundred years that the extremely thin look has been in, and even that has really not been the case

#1) the linked article (in regards to overweight women) is based on searches on a Porn site, not Google searches
#2) the article does NOT say that men PREFER overweight women to skinny ones... only that "a lot" of men search for the genre of "fat porn"
#3) the reason porn site's don't get alot of searches for "skinny" is that ALL PORN STARS ARE SKINNY!!! That's the default size of 99.999999% all women in porn, so it would be pointless to even make that a genre unto itself, whereas "fat porn" is far more specialized
#4) the same article states that just because people might search/view certain types of porn does NOT mean they actually would act like that in real life. The example they give is "rape porn" which apparently lots of women like to search/view, but I suspect would not want this in real life
Move along, nothing to see in this thread.
TLDR; men prefer SKINNY women
Wrong, they prefer fit women. Skinny women suffer from pancake butt..not attractive.

When I had thought I was straight, I couldn't be thin enough. If people told me I was too thin, I thought they were "just jealous". The idea that a man would be attracted to an overweight or fuller figured woman seemed ridiculous to me, a lie. I remember distinctly having a discussion with a gay male friend of mine. He was talking about a girl who worked in our office, who was overweight, and how he thought one of the law partners had a crush on her. I was rolling my eyes like- please. I truly thought- if there's anyone he would have a crush on, it's me. I keep my weight maintained, I'm cute- she's huge! he kept saying, "lots of guys like that", but I just thought he was being crazy.
Cut to me admitting my attraction for other women and embracing it. The only women I truly find myself attracted to are "fuller figured". The breasts, the hips, the stomach, the thighs- OMG. For me, I absolutely love it. Obviously there is a limit when it comes to obesity, but there is something so sensuously feminine about big curves.
It made me realize that my whole quest to be a skinny rail was so silly. Now I'm much freer with what I eat.
Once you realize what men are tapping into when they see the female figure- and it's all about the jiggle, the circular slope of the flesh, etc- you will never again feel the desire to see your own hipbones protruding, if you are a female.
Just my 2 cents.

You are dead wrong.
