Its not a wonder most girls just about starve themselves to death because of this. The worse thing is that men play into the advertising so they turn down us curvy women for stick figures.

Just curious if these "stick figures" are 21 and under? The last time I saw a woman my age with a stick figure was at the hospital. Most men want a woman with a proportional figure. Not twiggy nor BBW and there are plenty of variation in between. These are two stereo types that are popular but not real: 1. Men only want someone anorexic 2. Women only want someone rich These two only cause arguments between men and women and neither are, generally, accurate.

Try speaking for yourself and letting other men speak for themselves. Saying "most men" when giving your own opinion doesn't make it better or worse.

Most men are satisfied with average.

I personally think that it is important for people to strive for a healthier life. Too much or too little weight can be attributed to several types of complications that don't allow the person to be as vibrant as they would like. There are mental and physical issues that go with obsessing over weight. I really hate waking up at 5am to go to the gym before work, but I know from experience that being in decent shape is better than not being in decent shape. Your health should always be the priority, not what other people necessarily think in a social setting.

I can only go by my own experiences. I do work out. I do go to the gym. I am working on being healthier. I like getting out and being active. I am not skinny by a long shot, though, but I've not had trouble meeting men who were ok with that. That's all I was trying to say. Not all men like a specific body type. Is my body type going to be ok for all men? Of course not. But, some have definitely not had a problem with it. If some are not attracted to me because of it, I'm ok with that, as I understand that I will not fit into everyone's preferences.

I never said everyone is shallow.

A hip to waist ratio of 1 to 0.7 is universally accepted as very attractive world wide among men. There are university and government studies to substantiate this. As this ratio equalizes (waist becomes larger) her attractiveness decreases. Do men demand this perfection? No. However, when a womans stomach is as big or bigger than her chest it is considered unattractive. Yes, there are differences in mens preferences. Yet there are natural inclinations that have never changed throughout time. It's no different then women. Women have preferences that vary yet there are some that remain universal.

Sorry, but I'm not going to go through life thinking that everyone will think exactly the way you do. I think I'll stick to finding out someone's personal preference, rather than go with a generalization. Works well for me :).

I think we all need to look inside each other first. Get to know the real persom. I hope I can find someone like that.
