I work 50 hrs. a week,walk when I can. Since I had kids I remain a nice size 16. What do most men feel about woman who are bigger than size 12??

I dont know a % but I always see big women with little skinny guys.

lol...most men i date say they don't want a "skinny b*tch"...and yeah they're usually tall and skinny themselves...i really prefer big boys...and sorry but this has nothing to do with your q

I think for most of the men in our age group it is more about personality, ethics. etc...
Sure they all may want a barbie and fantize about them but in reality. I think if it came down to it they will choose a great woman over a great body if they are wanting a relationship and not a fast lay...

my dad likes 'em big...

He always says:

Shade in the summer .... warm in the winter

My Daddy always says "only dogs like bones, honey".

I dont like chicks that are too skinny.

I dont want a skeleton

Most the guys I know, don't know what size a woman is (referring to your size 16 comment, which doesn't tell me anything).

Most can accept a chubby lass, although most are influenced by our culture, which favors skinny. I think that it is easy for most to ignore appearance once they have gotten to know a person, but before they know a person, they are more likely to chase the skinny mini.

Personally I think it is a good idea to have an informative profile. That information can draw the attention of a potential mate just as much as a sexy photograph.

From personal experience, being a curvy type of gal, I'd have to definitely say there's plenty of men out there who like a woman with some curves to her.

The average weight has gone up over the years, and a size 12 is average nowadays. A size 16 is just a little extra padding, no big deal. I think the biggest difference is between a woman who is curvy and carries it well, and the woman who considers herself 'fat' instead of curvy. It shows in how you walk, how you carry yourself, how you interact, if you don't love yourself. Walk the walk like you're the sexiest Rubenesque goddess, and your confidence just makes it all that much sexier.

On a lousy day, I take a good look at myself and remind myself of all the things I love about my body, and all the things that I think make me beautiful. Reprogram your mind to see your faults in an amusing or quirky way. I've got my share of stretch marks from having two children - I call them my battle scars. Besides, the older you get, and the more experience you have, the more you know your way around, backward, forward, upside down etc.. in the bedroom. Consider age and screwy relationships just plenty of experience to add to the things that make you a sexy goddess ;)

But whether or not most men like larger women isn't really the question is it? My view on it is, do you really want to be with a man that doesn't? If you're looking long-term, do you really want to be stressing yourself out over every pound and wrinkle as the years go by, while he's gaining himself a pot belly and his bal*s start to hang to his knees? If you can look past how he'll age, don't you deserve someone who will do the same?

Soo... in the longrun, even if only 2% of the male population liked larger women... consider it a different way - only 2% of men are good enough for you. On your percentage curiousity, I'd say most men would say they prefer slimmer women if they're talking out loud in front of people. Yet we know that more women are larger these days, so in reality, it's certainly not stopping them is it? :)

I love big girls. Always have. So did Renaissance artists. Big women are beautiful.

Really. I'm not kidding. I absolutely love big women. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I have to say that I like very small women. It really does depend on how they carry their weight tho.
