Guys, just like girls have different preferences individually. You'll never be able to please everyone, so it's better to focus on just being happy with yourself.


Yes, I suppose so, I'm sure you're right! :smile:
Thank you very much to everyone who's answered my questions so far. I have another slightly different but related question. For guys is it a turn off if a girl doesn't have a flat stomach?

it varies. I don't really like a flat stomach but some will.

It was implied in what you said. Lahmejacks said "if you're any kind of bloke who's not just seen porn and actually interacted with a woman, you'll know that we don't all have abs, thigh gaps" and you said "So attractive women are only in porn now?" implying that you have to have abs and thigh gaps in order to be attractive and that woman in real life who don't have abs and thigh gaps are unattractive.


No that is a strawman. There's a difference between having abs, thigh gaps etc and simply being slim.

It's definitely not chubby. When you were 18 you were underweight, but now you're a normal healthy weight. :smile:
It depends on how you carry the weight tbh; I think clothing sizes are quite irrelevant sometimes.
But generally 8/10 is not fat/chubby.

I don't accept that, especially with what you've said previously. It was a very reasonable assumption that that was what you meant, particularly taking into account everything else you've been saying on this thread. If you think that size 4 and size 6 are the only attractive sizes for a girl my height then it was reasonable to assume that you were saying that you thought that girls needed to have abs and/or thigh gaps in order to be attractive. What would you classify as simply being slim then?

Thank you. :smile: Yeah, I think it's because I used to be underweight that I'm not happy with my weight now. I sort of feel chubby even though I know I'm not actually fat if you see what I mean.

I'm size 8 99% of the time and my measurements are 36-26-35. I have an hourglass figure. Where would you say are the best places to carry the weight?

Size 8 is slim. 26 inch waist is nice and I would say he lower half. So like hips, legs and butt.

Thank you, yeah as I said I'm hourglass so I have sort of evenly proportioned bust and lower half and a smaller waist.

Assume what you wish. Like I said, assuming average height a UK size 8, maybe a 10 at a push if the curves are in the right places.
dont smile please. cheers

I'm small but not extra small/extremely skinny. I'm small and petite but a bit curvy (not in the sense that basically means overweight though). I have an hourglass figure, I'm 5"3.5 and my measurements are: Bust: 36, Waist: 26, Hips: 35.


Height-wise I'd say extra small, possibly even child's sizes; but to counteract your bust, I'd say small/medium
You sound perfectly healthy, as long as you're eating well and nutritiously with exercise (when you're well of course) then your weight shouldn't be a problem. Definitely focus more on your health and wellbeing than you clothes size but size 8/10 is slim for any height really!

You know the average height for a woman is around 5'3- 5'4 right? not sure how you came to the conclusion she is child size.

Well, I do take care with my appearance so hopefully that would be fine. Yes, you're probably right haha. :smile:



You shouldn't be worried then :u:

You do know that the average height of a woman in the UK is 5"3 right? So, since I'm 5"3.5 and a size 8 I'm "chubby", "wide and dumpy", "fat" AND "slim" now according to your different comments. Brilliant logic there I must say.
