Yep. DH once told me touching a woman shouldn’t fee like touching a man. DH is not attracted to really sculpted muscles on women.

That's such a weird thing to tell your wife. Like telling your husband you don't like 10-inch d****s. As if it had at any point been an option.

They don’t want to feel like they’re with a man.

They never had a chance with women with that extremely rare body type and by putting it down they make themselves and their wives feel better.

Most “curvy” women are overweight (and face all the negative health issues - diabetes, high blood pressure, being sanctimonious, etc, - that come with it). It’s not for young kids, professional athletes, or pregnant women — but otherwise very useful! Whats yours? - https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm

I guess I am what some of you are calling “skinny” at 5’6 and 118-120, but I’ve gotten tons of male attention my whole life. I do not look bony or “like a teenage boy” or whatever else has been said. I am very small boned and have delicate feminine features, shapely legs, a round bubble butt, small but perky breasts, hourglass waist-to-hips proportions. Thin does not mean shapeless, beautiful bodies come in all shapes and sizes. Stop being so critical.

+1. I’m actually an above poster who said I get more attention at a bit of a higher weight (BMI of 22 vs my typical BMI of 20) but how we look at different weights is so dependent on body type, height, proportions etc. Many gorgeous skinny women look best very thin and it sounds like you are a stunner at your weight. Each woman is going to have a unique experience depending on her own features and assets.

+1 and I think confidence in ones own body goes a long way in making that body attractive. You could be in a healthy range and look unattractive if you don’t carry yourself with poise and grace. You can be at the heavier or lighter end of normal and be incredibly sexy if you carry yourself that way. I find a lot of overweight or obese people, however, look unattractive inside and out because of low self-esteem. They dress in tent-like clothing and have given up.

But OP said her boyfriend preferred her at a higher weight, despite her feeling LESS comfortable at that size than being thin, which would suggests she's more confident when she's thinner. And yet her boyfriend likes her at a higher weight regardless. To me, that suggests it's not about confidence, but rather a defined physical preference.

I wouldn’t want to be with a man that would prefer me to look in a way that is out of my comfort zone.
