    So they've less chance of being rejected by someone with a decent pair of tits?

    Hey! Mine might be small but they're still decent!

    Cheek. :(

    Not a lot of love here for the more 'athletic' type. :(

    A lot of times when men say curvy, I think they mean lean - like having a flatter tummy - but still shapely. I can think of a lot of athletic women who are curvy by that standard, especially in the bottom half if you know what I mean. :)

    In general, I like naturally athletic looking men but not too broad or stocky. That is my ideal however, attraction usually takes me by surprise.

    Why is someone thin more likely to reject advances than someone curvy? I'm not following this at all, at all.

    No. The guy is more nervous chatting up a more 'average' lady.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,570 ✭✭✭Ulysses Gaze


    Someone with an hourglass figure like say Caroline Morahan would be the ideal woman for me, and lips like hers would be an added bonus.

    Same here. Caroline is a beautiful woman. Great eyes and a very sexy smile.

    And a lot of the time when they say curvy, they mean very thin - but with implants!

    I'm happily rail thin, I've got tiny boobs and a tiny butt, and I'm quite happy with that. I'd rather that than a lifetime of watching my weight, and I've never envied bustier or rounder girls. I think the very slim figure ages better too.

    That's a load of bollox. So if Pamela Anderson was available nobody would be nervous chatting her up.

    Why are you hunting for acceptance from pixel strangers? I thought you were happily coupled up according to the 'things my OH does' thread?

    Plenty of 'curvy' women who've aged beautifully and thinner women who haven't. Genes play a big part in that, imo.

    My men would come in all shapes and sizes (I have a portly one atm who I'm perfectly happy with), but the very sculpted look does very little for me. I find it quite artificial looking, if that makes sense. A bit of paunch is grand.

    I do like a hairy man, though. If a guy was manscaped, I think I'd run a mile. I don't find that whole men waxing/shaving all their hair off very manly at all.

    Keep your assumption candie.
    I don't like thin, I don't like implants.

    I like a healthy looking woman who doesn't chew on grass because shallow men will slobber over them.
    I say what I mean.

    Im a bit of a gym freak, i love the crossfit body on a gal. Muscular thighs and a butt like two soccer balls in a of sock...ie serena williams, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet or sara sigmundsdóttir.

    However, i do also like curves ie kelly brooks.

    my current girlfriend sits exactly between both my preferences.

    Though I have been with various body shapes and sizes, TBH in the end for me thin is in. Anything more than a C/D cup a waste. And speaking of waists, must have one. That well built "peasant stock" style figure, women more coopered than grown doesn't do it for me at all. Someone like Kelly Brook who seems to be well favoured by many men looks positively bovine to me TBH.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    And I know quite a few who do. You need to dial back your own assumptions, since I wasn't specifically addressing you.

    You made a sweeping statement about men in general who voted.
    Just because you have no arse or tits. :)

    Girls with small boobs can get away with wearing far more sexier dresses.


  • Posts: 0 CMod ✭✭✭✭ Jerry Plain Plan


    The hottest girls have to be small, around 5 foot, cute, short hair is a bonus, dimples and eyes are a must.

    Eyes are a must??
    Aw man

    No, I said something general and not specifically confined to posters in the thread, in response to another poster, nothing confined to people who voted. If I had meant it to be in response to that, I would have said so.

    The little dig doesn't bother me btw.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea


    i like normal size with big shoulders and arms. mother of divine *drools*

    is there anyone here that has a kink for obesity?! like proper barrels? even if there was would anyone admit to it? just curious, i've never known anyone to be attracted to that really.

    There's a lot more into bigger women / men around then you imagine!

    Bascially there's a difference in being into bigger women who manage to pull off there body shape and then the ones who just look like there melting!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,130 ✭✭✭Surreptitious


    Fair play.

    Weight can change but the person will always be the same inside.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]

    There has to be some attraction mind you.
    But like you say weight change shouldn't affect your love for them but again if they are unhealthy then live can mean helping them realise they need to lose weight to stay alive.

    So dial it back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,465 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    A lot of times when men say curvy, I think they mean lean - like having a flatter tummy - but still shapely.

    For the sake of discussion and truthfulness, I like *curves in general and a roundish, soft belly is very feminine IMO.

    However, you have a point- I would be less into someone with flab. There are some generously proportioned women that are maybe less shapely. That said, I stand over when I say I like curvy women. I would say that 90% of examples of 'curvy' women I would probably find attractive. I don't have any reason to believe that this doesn't represent pretty standard standpoint. From my observation, most women that are not obese underestimate how attractive their shape is to a very high proportion of guys.





    *I mean curvy to overweight- my attraction would probably wane from this point

    no i mean the melters! there are people out there that like it, as i've seen some sort of trash documentary at some point about it. just wondered was there anyone on boards thats into it! or ireland! genuinely never met anyone that would admit to it at least.

    Lol don't mind those documentarys they always paint people with any kind of fetishs in a bad light.

    I'm into bigger women I have been since was a teenager. My gf is size 18 but I wouldn't class her as massively overweight. Like I said it's all about body shape. Some women and even men can pull off many different weights. Some just have awkward looking body's genetically.

    But ya I'd probably find women attractive that you and most people would find "obese" which is why most people don't openly talk about having fetishs for those things.

    I didn't say most of the time either and there's a substantial difference between a lot and most. Obviously you're reading what you want to read.

    I think some ones face has a lot to do with it too.

    It's one of those things that is very hard to define.

    My husband has a ridiculously handsome face like it's strange in that he is incredibly masculine but at the same time I would love to have his eyelashes ha. He can get away with a rather rough look and still look extremely handsome. I've noticed that older women tend to take a shine to him.

    I have a rather conventional face and long hair. My body at 30 is not exactly what it was when I was 20 but not too different. I'm tall for a woman and naturally big, like broad shoulders and such but i guess for a woman in that I mean, anything less than a size 10 looks and feels unhealthy to me. I stand now at a size 12 and I feel best and right at that.
