All guys dig skin and bones? Doubt it.
I know you're all sick of this topic, but I'm going to talk about it anyway, lol. Feel free to click the "back" button at any point.

I'm tired of people saying that it is simply impossible for a guy to be attracted to a woman who isn't thin.
Honestly, what world do these people live in?!
Let's get something straight: Different guys have different tastes. Some prefer smaller women, while some prefer larger women. A lot of younger men may enjoy slimmer women because that image is promoted in the media; however, this isn't because a slimmer body type is superior. This body type is promoted for several reasons -- none of which I'll mention, because that's enough information for another thread. (Feel free to list these reasons -- because I won't.)
I simply don't believe that all guys will look at a woman and say/think, "Damn, she's hot! Look at those thighs -- they aren't even touching!" Most men (and I suppose even some boys) are attracted to women who are confident and beautiful in his eyes.
This is not to say that I believe slimmer women aren't attractive. I know that some guys may see a thin woman and say/think, "Wow, look at that hot, tiny body!" However, some guys will see an "average" or "larger" woman and say, "Wow, look at that hot, curvy bombshell!"
I guess that I'm just trying to say that all women are beautiful if they feel beautiful!
Ideas? Arguments? I want to hear them!
I've probably missed a thousand things, but I guess you can all fill me in, lol.
No argument here! It's silly to think that men as a whole all like the same thing. I will say that I believe that not as MANY men are attracted physically (at first sight, without knowing the person) to either extreme of the weight spectrum-- extremely obese or extremely underweight. Other than that, there are as many tastes as there are individuals!
A male friend and I play the 'Sexy:Not Sexy' game occasionally where we pitch up various celebrities' names and the other has to say whether they're sexy or not sexy. It leads to lots of good humoured arguments!
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is a very true stratement.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...there are different types of "beauty" as there are different types of men and women.
I would have never dated fat guys although I was chubby as a teen...My husband had perfect six packs when we met and he still looks awesome!:) On the other hand he told me he really liked my body then and now...although now I'm 30 lbs lighter or so :) I think beauty is all about looking sexy and confident.
On the other hand I know plenty of guys who would put me at 5'2" and 127 lbs in the fat category b/c they do like skin and bones...
I think it's a stereotype to think men like skin and bones. There's more to being attractive than being a size 4. I think men like women that take care of themselves. In other words, all women, all sizes, can be attractive to any given man. There are some women that feel they should show off a big over-hanging belly, for the whole world to see. I find this extremely unattractive and don't know too many counterparts that like to see it. In today's society there are very few woman flaunting skin and bones. The majority have some excess. Could you imagine all woman being size 7's or less? When I married my wife many moons ago, she was a size 3. That size is history now but I still love her the same. I think there's more to being over-weight than being attractive. The health ramifications such as heart problems and diabetes should be the focus. The doctors are the ones that like good weigh in numbers. Not anorexia.
All women are beautiful. It's just how they take care of themselves.
I by no means disagree, but I don't think your argument was well put together.
I think your argument lacks the demonstrations/proof to hold your conclusion. Can you put together proof that slimmer females are not superior, and that guys have different tastes? Where are you drawing the conclusions from?
If it's from a personal observation, true it is still an argument and it is valid, but if you have no proof, how can you sway the people who believe otherwise? Especially, how can you sway the women who may stumble upon your argument to believe what you say is true without having proof of a male's opinion being similar to your own?
I do agree, I know in my personal observation, the man I crave is someone with an average body type with just as much imperfections as I do. I don't see myself with someone who I think is superior in mental abilities or physical body traits, unless I had enough to match them. However, I cannot draw a conclusion that all men do not like a petite woman, because I have no sources. D:
(Sorry if this bugs you! ;-; I just want to help prove your opinion to be true, and I'm learning about arguments right now in English...)
Are all larger women in the world single?
No.
Want proof? Go to a mall. :P
yes very true. most guys dont like skin and bones and my boyfriend of a year is proof. but youll be surprised how MANY guys are attracted to very skinny girls. its not fair i know, but look at women guys think are hott. seriously its not fair.
on the other hand guys are attracted to two things, t&a. and you cant have that if your skin and bones
Well, idk. While I think that everyone can have unique tastes does any one man have ONE taste? A guy can say his "type" is blonde, 5ft 2 and a size 2 with double-d's but then he can also think that his brunette, 5ft 5, size 5 with b's is hot ;). I agree with everyone else that confidance and how you carry yourself and your personality usually takes the cake. I think most guys are animals with animal instincts (i.e. most women have something mildly attractive about them... even the hefty ones). So that being said I don't think there is a cookie cutter mold for any one woman or man.
Personally I am biased... I like dark haired men, 6 inches taller than me (basically 5ft 10), olive toned skin, and seriously buff... like I need a man with thick arms, chest, and back (just like to make myself feel littler ;D). So whatev... men can be pigs but then again so can I ;P
Funny you mention someone's "type" being blonde, 5'2", and a size 2 with DDs. That's pretty much me (just Ds, not DDs, but the rest is right) and yet I'm still not anyone's dream shape. Pants sizes, heights, boobs... they're all just measurements. Someone could have the same exact "stats" as I do and be much less... lumpier. xD
But I do agree with your point in general. :)

Kaybug.... You may be learning about arguments in English but you clearly haven't encountered 'logic' yet. :-) If you personally know one man that does not like petite women this means, logically, that all men do not prefer petite women.
Oooh gi-jane, ouchie. Are you saying I'm not losing logic! Why.. I'm offended! *sulk sulk* Naw, I'm joking. Of course logic can be used, and it's stupid to say that 'all ____ does this and that'. That's false, and it's hard to think that someone would think that 'all ____ does this and that'. What I've learned though is the "I know a person who.." or lack of general sources from a group of males to prove their preferences. I think if that was provided in the argument, it'd create a stronger conclusion, and personally if I thought most men liked skinny girls and had proof that most, or a good portion as surveyed or proven from an accountable source, it'd have a stronger conclusion. A provable conclusion, which if a girl with doubts were to stumble upon it, has proof that her beliefs were false.
But even even right now I'm not providing a good conclusion with sources for my own argument.
Though, I think probably if the conclusion had been made on paper, the conclusion would weak. But since there's people contributing to the conclusion themselves, it does seem valid now that I look at it...
Do you get where I was coming from though?
My mistake though, this is casual convo not argumentive essay. I think I shut my trap now before I make more of an ass out of myself. XD Sorrysorry.
in the last 2 years, i've ranged form 170 lbs to 107 lbs, and am currently 141 lbs trying to get to 120. i probably get hit on more often now than i did at 107. so, guys don't dig bones all that much.
I completely agree with guys not liking skin and bones. two years ago i was a solid 120-ish a 5'3 (if i was lucky), i had so many guys talking to me. once i hit below 105, they stopped. and now when i'm maintaining about 104 at 5'4'', guys think its gross.
this one guy i like, told me (nicely) that the fact that i can see my bones under my shirt is gross. and i have to agree. he isnt attracted to me physically, YET. ;)
Interesting arguments put up by everyone...I definitely agree that every person has their tastes...and even their own tastes can change. I believe that the more you get to know someone, the more attractive they can become. As far as my type is concerned...I usually like bigger guys that I have little buddha bellies ;) but I also dated a stick thin guy...and like him a lot..so you never know.
I also think that there are some cultural differences...some cultures appreciate larger woman more than others...and thats the truth.
A lot of it has to do with the way in which a woman carries herself...if you exude confidence then othrs will see that and are bound to be more attracted to you...
