Thin Girls
Not looking for help or advice, just an answer to my question (or an opinion on it).
I was a size 10 at Uni and for 3 years absolutely no guys were interested in me. Not one. Now I've gone down to a size 6 (not intended, I'm very active in my job and eat tons, plus I have small bones so it doesn't look too bad on me) and I get a fair amount of male attention. My personality hasn't changed and neither has my face (apart from maybe a little less lose skin under my chin). I didn't look overweight at Uni at all, I looked fine.
My question is: Why do most guys say that they like a bit of meat on a girl and that Victoria Beckham looks awful because she's so thin when in my experience it just isn't the case? Or am I just odd

I'm probably less confident now because of my weight - I feel very conscious of how thin I am. Girls tend to make nasty comments to me, but guys say nice things. For example blokes will say I'm petite and how it's a good thing, whereas girls will say that there's nothing of me and that I should gain some.
I guess I'm a more confident person now in my own abilities, but that's life experience since Uni.

I love petite girls myself, probably because I'm a shortarse.

how tall are you? if you're small..then maybe it just has become more noticable that you're petite since you've lost weight.. does that make sense?

You mentioned having small bones so maybe being thin suits you, like how different colour clothes suit different people. As long as you are healthy ignore those girls.

Another girl may look better with more meat. Different people different things. Generalisations don't apply now.

I've never found thin girls less attractive, unless they're thin to the point of it being unhealthy. I think anti-thin sentiment is not as prevalent as some think it is, at least in men. I've not really come across men complaining about girls being too thin; more often it's girls who comment about it.

Agreed. As much as I'd like to believe that men would always pick the size 14 girl over the size 6, it's just not true. Obviously every man is different, but I think womens' magazine have drummed into us that "men like a woman with meat on her bones", whereas mens' magazines show a different attitude altogether.
Having said that, I think the OP answered her own question when she said this:

Most guys are either skinny or a little bit tubby themselves, so obviously they're less capable on average of getting a girl with an amazing body than a guy who's spent 2 years in the gym gaining 40 pounds of muscle and getting down to <10% bodyfat.
The amount of guys who would take Christini Ricci for example over Jessica Alba is miniscule, but the average guy says he prefers women with the build of Christina Ricci so that he doesn't have to admit to himself and others that the reason he isn't with a woman like Jessica Alba is because he could never get a woman like that, but rather he can pretend he prefers women like Christina Ricci.

i think thats rubbish, most girls i know dont go out with men based on their bodies. there is one guy i know with a very good body who cant get any girl because hes a dick. i think you are setting too much store by the physical when actually %bf isnt really the deciding factor in a relationship for most women.

maybe a person who lists going to the gym as one of their prioritys will get on well with someone who has similar interestes, however there are many women with amazing bodies who find the gym boring, and so probably wouldnt go for your guys, this why i think its not the body they are going for but a like personality

tbh i think your sarcastic comment was bang on, i dont think it hurts that they look like greek gods sculpted from marble etc, of course it doesnt, but i think compatible personalities are what is needed to make a relationship, and that without that you can look amazing and still be sadly alone. too many people think that if they get the body they want everything else will fall into place, but sadly when they get that body they find that they are still the same person

i have been in love with a guy who...lets say didnt take care of his appearance, at the time i worshipped the ground he walked on and was completely blind to his imprefections, im not saying im uber hot but i work out 5 times a week and i tend to get male attention, make of that what you will
I agree, personality is what makes a relationship work, but my point is that the average guy who says he prefers larger women is only saying that because it's unlikely he could get a woman who looks like Jessica Alba anyway. Gym goers, who are capable of regularly attracting women who are obviously in amazing shape, are more willing to be honest and say that's their preference.

see thats where i disagree with you, gym goers see chiselled bodies as a sign of dedication hence attractive, but there are many things which can make a body attractive, its just that when you put work into your body, your likely to find a body that has been worked at attractive. objectively it may be just as attractive as someone who doesnt work out as much and 'has a bit of meat on them'
