    This shoulder fetish thing....briliant.

    Now I think of it I do remember an old phrase my mother used to say "marry an ugly man and you'll never worry!". She never mentioned accountants or small feet though. :D

    When guys say "curvy girls" what exactly are they taking about? I remember my male friend saying he loved curvy girls and then proceeded to say Emily Ratajowski fitted the profile of curvy. She's no more curvy than my little toe. To me curvy would be Holly Willoughby or Kardashian arse

    Your friend really means big boobed. Emily certainly has that, but she is definitely not curvy as I would define it.

    Holly Willoughbooby is the definition of curvy.

    Holly Willoughbooby is so gorgeous, as a female non-lesbian I could look at her all day. :p

    it'd usually mean the type you think but i suppose it depends on the person.

    i wouldn't call emily rata.. curvy either but i know what he means, big tits & a alright ass on her are curves

    My definition of curvy is probably different to most people's. Curvy for me isn't big titeens and a big oul arse with a tiny waste.... it's more filled out, without being chubby, everything proportionate ie no big gut or bingo wings.

    A girl I went on a date with last Friday, she's pure gorgeous in my eyes, she is not skinny but not in anyway fat or overweight, she has imo a great physic, what I'd describe as curvy (wish I could post a pic) and a nice bum! Also has the most gorgeous brown eyes and tanned skin! <3 id take her any day over a Kardashian!

    She is definitely at a healthy body fat level there. Look at her fairly slim waist and define jawline. She has extremely exaggerated bone structure and proportions, huge hips boobs shoulders and large frame overall which make her look quite chunky and curvy though

    I think she has a fantastic body.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 657 ✭✭✭Musketeer4


    Cameron Diaz is noce but she's too thin and gangley for my likeing. I like long hair too, I don't find cropped hair attractive, even though it can be nice at the same time if you get me - like, she's good looking and attractive but not in that kinda way for me.

    Quite tasty fifteen years ago or so, but she seems to be completely grey these days and it doesn't suit her.

    Most men fancy women that look like Kim K/pornstars. Some don't admit it to women because it might seem creepy/sleazy.:)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 657 ✭✭✭Musketeer4


    I actually find the typical pornstar look repulsive. Its really trampy looking. Big ballooned breasts and lips like they've been stung by a bee. Eww. Usually combined with ridiculously voluminous hair and stilettos.
    Fúck. Right. Off.
    I'd call it the sex-doll physique.

    I'd feel the same about, say, Angelina Jolie. I wouldn't find her attractive really.

    What about all those Geordie Shore type girls with the big inflated titties and clown make up. Sure they do have fellas hanging off them.
    I love the look of say, Sienna Miller, natural make up and freckles showing through. Can't stand that caked on crap.
    On a man I like the physique of Jamie Dornan.

    Technically she's beautiful-looking, but she's way too thin.

    Face matters so much, body is irrelevant as long as you are thin(for males)

    That's what I mean when I'm on about Kim K/pornstar look. Whether people like to admit it or not a woman with big boobs, narrow waist and a big arse and makeup will get the most attention.

    A lime-coloured Lamborghini Diablo with an orange interior will get plenty of attention too, but you wouldn't necessarily want to drive the thing for a week. :pac:

    I am attempting to suggest that putting up with this Essex Tart dawnce around me 'andbag annat innit crap for any length of time would be somewhat akin to trying to commute in the rain in a €300,000 supercar - a great idea on paper, especially if you're fifteen years old, but something very else to actually do. :pac:

    I understand that, but this thread is about bodies! Not minds. There's a reason why that certain look is prevalent and testosterone increases when they see it!

    In a girl I like a pleasant, pretty face. Probably more favouring soft features, large eyes, a nice smile and slightly rounded appearance. Not into the long or angular faces, a prominent chin is a turn off.

    Prefer long straight hair as opposed to curly or short.

    Like a girl whos a little smaller than me but not so small that giving a kiss requires bending my neck. 5'6 to 5'8 would be ideal.

    Body wise I'm not into skinny. I'm into a bit of "upholsterey" but not chubby or with folds. Just healthy level of bodyfat. A nice butt but not big or scrawny.

    I think waist hip ratio is very important in female attractiveness across the board. I know a girl who is very healthy and is fit and has lovely features and a great personality but her waist hip ratio is out of whack. she has a ratio of 1.0, ie straight hips like a fella which just looks incorrect on a woman. Ideal for a woman is like 0.6 or something.

    The one thing about the porn star look is the rock solid boobs. Does not do it for me at all. Look silly and feel odd IMO.

    Boobs ,proper boobs, need to have a good bit of wobble in them. And the ones that wobble when in a bra get bonus points from me.

    I think many women profess to hate muscle but in reality muscular guys get A LOT of attention from women.

    True, and so do the Geordie-Shore type with the surgically enhanced everything on show and drag queen makeup. We're curious creatures and we like to look at shiny things that stand out, a completely shredded, waxed 6-footer with arms the width of most people's thighs is a thing that stands out.

    I'll look all day, but I'm not thinking "phwoarr, what I wouldn't do for a piece of that", I'll be thinking "jeez that's a strong look, must be hitting the roids hard. When's the last time he had a piece of cake? Mad looking yoke"

    I fully agree on the hip-waist ratio thing, I have no interest physically in girls with straight hips. Course it can't get too exaggerated like Sissi or Kim Kardashian either, 0.7* looks best imo

    *I only just learned that it's a mathematical thing

    I hear ya. When I say pornstar look I don't really mean an actual pornstar, although plenty of them have natural boobs. I mean the "shape".

    It's all about the ass for me, a nice juicy ass, yes please! This latest craze of women wearing leggings and sports gear is a god send to me, you can't beat a nice ass! After that the really just a regular shaped body is fine by me.

    I dislike women who are caked in make up and would need a chisel to get it off, it's not a body type as such but still felt I'd add it, don't be shy ladies show warts and all don't think you're fooling people when you look like an oompa loompa!

    No the waist hip ratio is an actual thing. Google it. Studies have found that 0.6-0.7 is considered most attractive in females and it correlates with better health and fertility than women with WHRs that are greater.

    I think 0.8-0.9 was considered most attractive in a man.

    Someone said earlier attraction is not all about evolution and s selection and shít but it actually is nothing but.

    Why would someone be most attracted to a certain WHR or biometry etc? Because that composition reflects good health, fertility and is the best option for a mate.

    Why would someone be attracted to a kind, friendly but decisive and strong personality? Because they'll be a reliable and stable partner to have kids with.

    And that's the way it is because throughout history people who were sexually attracted to body types reflective of suboptimal health and fertility, or mental nutters, or trees, or goats did not reproduce as effectively as the others.

    Attraction is literally just bred into us. Simple as that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,616 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    Not sure about calculating ratios, but I agree that proportion is important.

    The whole (American but spreading) obsession with massive arses has me baffled.

    Kim isn't too bad, but Khloe is comical looking with her huge bum.

    For example, this nonsense on the right.

    I'd prefer a size 10 girl. But I'd rather have a size 14 girl with a size 14 ass than a size 10 girl with a size 14 ass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭carrieb


    IMO most women are not into big muscly chiselled men. It's quite off putting. I'm in the gym a lot myself and I appreciate good legs or good arms on a man but six packs and bulging biceps do nothing for me. Most women I know like good arms and a good bum, apart from that there wouldn't be much talk about actual parts of a mans body. Tall men are popular! A nice body in general is always appreciated but I think mostly you want a man to look like he looks after himself. Fit, healthy, but not OTT.
