Big men

Well...I had a discussion with a friend yesterday about this topic...
It seems to me that most men prefer skinny, slim women...even though there was a thread here where some guys stated they liked "fat WW"

Well, I`d like to turn the question around and ask WW here what they think about men with...well...curves :roll:

Seems to me that you see more women with men that aren`t that fit, and they seem to be just as proud walking around with them...while most men won`t be parading too much with a...well...curvy-to-fat woman!

I do not mean to offend anyone with this topic...but are women just less shallow than men??

please give me your two bucks (I don't like cents )

 

I honestly don't think that women are generally less shallow than men, it's more a personal view regardless of gender. I do however think that the beauty standards for men and women are different. A man who is a bit on the heavier side can appear strong, by comparison a woman would not appear stronger just chubby or fat. In addition, and this might just be me but I have a hunch more women feel like that; I prefer if my man is taller and heavier than I am, I guess it appeals to my subconscious desire to be "protected".
Having said that I have dated both skinny and heavier men but I would not date guys who are obese or have a beer-belly.

 

I think it goes way back to our earliest mating habits.

Men are attracted to the hip-to-waist ratio because it shows the woman is healthy to carry kids.

Women are looking for symetry and reliability. They are looking for the best genes to father their kids (which symetry shows). They are also looking for reliability (and ability to provide), or the man who will stick around to help raise the kids.

Just saw the National Geographic program called, "Whats Sexy?" where they discussed the three stages of human relationships. The first stage was attraction where they discussed the natural differences between what is attractive to women and men.

One of the most interesting points they brought out is how much kindness is valued in a partner by both sexes. I never would have consciously thought about it, but they are right.

 

Damn Chigirl and Flygirl. That's some pretty intelligent stuff. Nice posts.

 

The conversations in here already answer the inquiry. Some guys like what's known as 'extra pounds' on a woman, and some guys don't. There are women who actually do go for 'big or bigger' men, and those that don't, and these magazine articles out here are a total joke, if you ask me. Throughout each and every year, they come up with these lame essays that tell men and women:

1. what's sexy in a mate or not

2. what they should or shouldn't be attracted to from the opposite gender

3. how the male and female should conduct their own personal relationship with one another



Yea, I know it's all about money, but despite people in general knowing that, they still buy into all the hype surronding these publications.

And, of course, not all women go for massive muscles either. That is another myth about female attraction. Ask a bunch of women yourself, and you'll see.

 

Interesting, although a lot of women go for slender guys with a lot of muscles. These guys don't "look muscular" per se, but you know that by the way that they walk and carry themselves they're pretty built.
