sex and attractiveness

Hi, by the time you have finished reading you will probably realise im a virgin lol, anyway I know I sound naive but when I lie down my hip bones stick out Ive noticed and I look really flat chested expecially when lying down(im only 32A anyway). Plus im only small, 5ft and 28 inch waist. I might sound mad but im worried this would put the guy off as I probably look like a kid rather than a woman, I just don't think my figure would turn guys on so I wanted to ask guys would what I described put you off:redface: Not sure if there are others who feel like this, I know its personality that comes first but obviously body figure comes into it as well.

My best friends madly in love with a girl of your description. I dont think you should worry.
don't be so critical of yourself. its easier to see flaws in ourselves which others probably don't notice. instead concentrate on what you do like about yourself :smile:

not a problem
if you were in a position for a guy who cared about you to see the features you describe he is not going to be put off! Dont worry!

Your right, but you can say that about anyone who worries about there looks, would the features put off a guy who didn't care lol, not that Id want a guy like that.
I only say that because i used to be incredibly paranoid about the way i look - i am fairly tall and slim but i think my legs are out of proportion, and i have no boobs Lol, and my hair is frizzy, but my bf made me realise that because he cares about me to him i am always beautiful, even when i have just got up, or am ill, or generally look a state! How people will percieve you is always going to be subjective. There is no answer to how guys would react in general.

I see what you mean but Id say there is a general reaction for most girls as there are some pretty girls who get swarmed by guys and others who don't so to an extent most people percieve a person the same way. If that makes sense. Most people can agree on what is attractive and what is not.

I love a girl that has a desciption similar to yours. Dont worry about it
You sound in proportion for someone who is only 5ft. Big boobs would probably look all wrong on you. In fact, you'd just look fat. Girls who are small and slim can look pretty and feminine without even trying, whether they have curves or not, so think of yourself as lucky.

If it bothers you, why not get a book on how to dress, such as the one by Trinny and Susannah, or something similar. It shows you how to make the most of what you do have, and how to dress to show off your best features and disguise your not so good features. You'll be able to see which clothes to avoid, because they'll make you look even shorter and less curvy, and which clothes will maximise your potential. Everyone can look nice, and I think sometimes it's easier for smaller women.

As for what guys will think, don't worry about it one bit! Men like their women to be all different shapes and sizes. There are a lot of men who like women to be small and dainty so they can feel all big and manly next to her! And if a guy isn't particularly tall himself, he'll probably want a small girl, as most guys wouldn't want their girlfriend to be bigger than them. Of course some men won't fancy you, and they might like really tall women, or women with big boobs, or something you haven't got, but you can't win 'em all! All you can really do is dress to boost your self-confidence and be happy with what you've got. I don't think you have anything to worry about though. Just think of all the other things you could have wrong with you, which would be so much worse!

If you are insecure about the way you look just every time you look in the mirror smile at your reflection and say i'm sexy and i know it. It worked for me, it cna go a bit wrong if you start beliveing it too much and become boastful but in moderation it can give you a bit of a boost i'm happier with my looks now than i ever have been.
and your not that slim, try being nearly six ft and only having a 28 inch waist, and some of the stuff i wear is a 26, an i have a boyfriend, he likes me just the way i am!

Thanks for the advice, your right all people can do is highlight there best features (probably my eyes though they arn't any nicer than anyone elses lol!) Do you know the title of that book btw? What I meant before was there are some woman who all guys would agree are attractive but like you said all guys like diffrent things.

This is the one I bought the other day. It's quite good, really. Just basically a no nonsense guide to making the best of what you have. You don't have to agree with everything they say (I'm not convinced by some of the things they say about certain colour combinations, and I'm not ready to ditch my black clothes like they say I should!) but there is a lot of sound advice in there about dressing to suit your shape.

And I don't think there is a single woman on the planet that every guy finds attractive. The world would be a pretty boring place if there was. I have a lot of very attractive friends and when I've said things to male friends along the lines of, "Oh, I wish I hadn't stood next to someone that gorgeous in a photo!" they've been like, "What? Her? Are you serious??"

how would that work :confused:
I think Anon is saying he [presuming it *is* a he] isn't bothered about the physical features you have [ie the 'body'] but more the personality and person you are inside that he feels emotionally close enough to to have sex with [ie 'you']. Hence when he has sex with a person, he is having sex with THEM, not the way they LOOK.

I totally agree with that point of view.

To the OP - If he's more bothered about how you look than who you are, he shouldn't be seeing you naked.

he wants sex with her personality not her physical body
