The Weighty Issue

Blues Angel · Jul 31, 2003

Recently in our state newspaper there was a story about teenage girls (and young women for that matter) believing they are 5 kgs heavier than what is healthy for them to be. With diets such as 'the water diet' and the 'mango diet' all the rage at present, a question for y'all:

(and before anyone has a crack, since I was last on here I have lost 10 kgs, so there.....now I'm a nice and trim 65 kgs..)

When you look at a prospective partner, and their body shape, does it put you off if they are too skinny or too curvy/fat?

And if you do take weight as a consideration, what do you consider sexy - very skinny girls/boys or those with some meat on their bones (of course within the healthy weight range).??

I personally don't care - they can't be obese, but if the weight is proportionate to their height then that's cool. Oh and he has to be a nice person.

I agree with you BA...I dont really care, just aslong as their not obese. Yes they have to be nice, that is a priority!Im 5'7-5'8 and weigh about 73-75 kgs. Obviously Im not skinny but because Im quite tall (for a girl) Im not overweight. All in all Im preety happy with my body
(a shock as most girls my age arnt I know!)

Yep agree with what you both said, they can't be obese because I just couldn't be physically attracted to them, maybe on a mental level but it wouldn't go anywhere further then friends.

I don't mind curves at all, as long as they're in the right places (hips, butt, boobs) and a little bit of "fat" (not too much) is fine with me.

Too skinny can be a put off. I dont want a chick that has a major complex about her weight even if she looks like a bike with lipstick. Bony chicks for me are a put off.

Too fat is also a put off. You want someone that at least looks after themselves.

Id prefer a slightly chubby girl to a bony chick anyday.

What i consider sexy changes on a girl to girl basis. There are damn ugly slightly chubby chicks and there are damn hot slightly chubby chicks. There are damn ugly skinny chicks too. Everyone is different.
Im an eyes and smile person over a figure person anyway.

Personality always helps. No matter what all the people that say 'Looks arent important at all' say...they are important. You want to be attracted to the person your going out with. For the most part, physical attraction is the first thing you notice about someone.

Yes someone that is proportionate is ideal.

Your a bit of a SNAG arnt you Macca?

i dont like skinny guys, bony guys r not sexy. i like muscle, just a nice amount not like those freak body builders thats just gross.

anyway as long as theyre just nice, im happy. if they look after their body its good, anything more then a little bit fat is not.

just proportional is good!

im 163cm and 51kg so im happy with that, tho i think if i got anything over 55kg id be doing something about it!

Its all relative to Height and body type evade, it depends what kind of build you have!

Absolutely.

No offence to anyone, but I won't look twice at a walking chub basket. Sorry - that's terribly shallow, but it's true. I have quite a few very large friends who are girls, but I wouldn't look twice at them in a club.

Too skinny is equally as off-putting. I find it quite repulsive actually. Girls who are 'rakes' are unnatractive to me, and I'm with Macca - a girl with a bit of chub is much sexier than a girl who you could snap in half in a stiff breeze.

Anywhere from Skinny to Ample-Biggish is good for me.

You get ugly skinny girls and hot big girls - so there are quite a few variables you must take into consideration - facial features, clothing, height, etc

I personally don't care - they can't be obese, but if the weight is proportionate to their height then that's cool. Oh and he has to be a nice person.

I reckon that applies to everyone. A nice person with a lively personality is requisite to me.

I wouldn't date a supermodel if she had a horrid persona.

It's all very variable
