According to http://www.indexmundi.com/world/demographics_profile.html there are approximately 2 billion living men in the world who are between the ages of 15 and 54, and you claim to have evidence of how most men pick women.

Go figure.

I was speaking about men in the USA and Most Online men who look at Women's figures. Many men I know from experience do not want Overweight women with no shape.

Mingle2 is an international website. So, if you are referring only to men in the USA, then you need to say so.

So, the OP didn't say where the women were, he was referring too!

I've been following this discussion and the one thing I noticed right away is that you do not have to accept being bullied into answering questions or beng told what you must say. Your opnion is perfectly valid. if it's based on your experience then it is what it is - no need to justify

I have also noticed middle aged men and overweight men of all ages expecting to date a petite woman who works on her figure while he feels no responsibility to do so - like it's an entitlement. it doesn't bother me, but it amazes me....that sense of entitlement. And of course it does not include "all" men. Men are individuals with their own preferences.

Very True!

I don't think any of us are totally immune to body size comment. I've been slim all my life, so what comment do I get?

"I don't eat enough."

I know right? ya just can't make some people happy


gripe gripe whine whine...

I don't think I obsess about being thin unless it is to not be thin which I was painfully so as a younger teen. As an adult I eventually stopped being a popsicle3 stick with Dolly Parton boobs so if any body immage concerns exist is not being seen only as "boobs".

I have always dated big men in height and girth because that is what I find attractive not because of my own demensions which have varied over the years. I like someone who is able to handle differnces without seeing it as a threat, a throphy, or something to apoligize, or for them to have to defend.

That I have repeatedly had to pay the price for a shorter man being harrassed for dateing me I tend to avoid the issue. It is not fun to have to be resented for a guy defending his own honor and passing it off as mine.

That some large and or heavy American men do seem to have a preference for petite women still seems to be a cultural "power/status play" that is often supported by financial power. I seriously doubt it's about and woman wanting to be protected by size alone.

I do know I like that most extreamly large people I have been associated with have learned how not to dominate someone and or deal with things through tact and patience rather than vocally or menally bulling someone from a young age.

I have wondered if it relates to the fact that I see a thin man as reminding me of male family which were very tall and thin or frequently the hospice or profoundly spinal injured I have cared for professionally and thus "Off Limits". But with thin men being increaseingly rare now that I am single and older might have something to do with it. On the back side of the double nickle even a thin man, unless ridiculously athletic, has a "belly" and a few wrinkles if not balding so gotten over all that sillyness of body image.

If the conversation goes to body it is usually about which parts are still operational or sore from not getting to park close enough to where we can get something we both can eat. lol

I loved Barbie growing up, but never wanted to look like her because she would never get a date in my neighborhood!

I grew up in a time and environment where curvy hips, thick thighs and lips were most definitely celebrated and sought after.

I never wanted to look slim and my genetics say I never will be. No matter how much weight I lose I'm going to still be curvy.

I have never chosen a date or partner based on if he will make me look slimmer, my wardrobe will do that. When I go out I want us to enjoy ourselves and have a good time, why else would you want to date?

Most women want to look their best and me and my friends figured out early on, that a way a women carries herself, her confidence, makes her attractive. In our group that ranges from a size 4 to a size 22 no one suffers from lack of male attention.

So why would we want to look slim?

Mortica7, a woman with your beautiful smile doesn't have to worry about size.
Why must you live so far away from me?

This is your second post about how you like skinny hot chicks....
