Why do men (most of them) like super thin women?

Question

Just curious I mean whats the core of it?

Like this 63 year old guy told me (when I was bigger) told me that he still wants a thinner women , but no longer is picky due to age..........so in other words he would;d not show any interest to me if he was younger.

I heard a lot of this when bigger. But whats the turn on? And I know its not for health reasons...thats a cover up for most. A guy will marry a women who is dying from cancer and a size 2 then a non dying female who is obese with good health readings.

so whats the real reason?

Answer 1

Its a TECHNICAL question, if u know what I mean.

Answer 2

I know what you mean, they say they don't like size 0-2 women and then proceed to point out how much they admire the figures of celebrities like Jessica Alba and Eva Longoria who are both size 0-2 lol.

Answer 3

Most men will go for a short girl than a thin girl, but I believe it's for the same reason. Subconsciously, the guy is larger, therefor the protector. Consciously, they will say no, but the girl is a reflection on them. The "hotter" the girl (read thin) the better they think they look to the rest of the world. Of course this is generalizing, but I think we've all seen this or been party to this at least 3 times in our lives.

Answer 4

Most men out there don't want a anorexic woman.  Men are looking for women that are thin in the sense that they work out and take care of them selves.  A woman can be thin and in shape while still eating healthy and taking care of herself.  That is what men look for more than anything.  When a person man or woman is in shape and looks good it is a sign that they have their life in order and and stable and would be worth dating.  When a woman in 300 pounds it shows that she doesn't care about her apearence which menas she probably has alot of drama going on in her life.  

Answer 5

I like thin/extreemely thin/normal girls.

This doesn't really pose as something very important...

But i have never fallen in love with a bigger woman...i don't know why.

I't might just be about preferences...nothing can really be done about it.

And yes, biologically speaking, both men and women seek out for a  healthy partner.

The partners health will affect the childrens health and probability to be born ok

Answer 6

I think you're generalizing too much.  I'm not attracted to extremely thin women and know many men who feel the same way.

EDIT: Did you ever think that the guy who disappeared on you did so not because you were 300 pounds, but because you lied about your weight?  I think that type of dishonesty shows a certain amount of low self-respect, and I'd run too.

Answer 7

The heart wants what it wants and I have no problem with that, but any man who chooses a mate by dress size will live to regret it.  

How any woman, who isn't naturally tiny, can aspire to be a zero is completely beyond me.  A zero!  Does that mean she doesn't want to make an impact on society, that she'd rather slink around the edges living on lettuce and cigarettes?  

My experience has always been that men - not boys - prefer to wrap their arms around a soft, warm, curvy woman.  And bones are what dogs bury.

Answer 8

just about every guy says they dont... they claim the would "break them" if they were to roll around...

I went from being extremely skinny to athletic to curvy...

athletic and healthy with a few curves is when i got the most attention...

Answer 9

LOL. you have GOT to be kidding!  I think this 63 year old guy needs a brain transplant.  I don't know of ANY guy who wants a size 2.  If a woman is bigger, but is healthy and keeps herself well groomed, most men would rather have some meat on the bones than just bones.  I am 48 years old and would NEVER pick someone who was 63. grin.

Answer 10

For as long as i can remember i have always found those skinny bony women/models a huge turn off

A women 155 - 190 pounds i would consider very s**y

Answer 11

Because they are shallow.

Answer 12

Most men are not attracted to extremely thin women.  Across all cultures men are attracted to women with a certain waist to hip ratio.  I don't know the exact number, but you can look it up on the internet.  Very thin women don't have the hips and cervix that signal fertility to a man.

Answer 13

Don't know but i have seen some healthy girls look good. But you know that only a temp stage before they become huge. An I just don't need all that play ground.

I do like the meat on Jana^_^

Answer 14

generic answer about generalizing people

Answer 15

guy's like thin chicks because there is less of a chance that after pregnancy they would become good year blimps.

   And + healthy women look very very attractive.

     Men like healthy mates, too thin= unhealthy as does too fat= unhealthy.

Answer 16

They do?

That always surprises me when I hear it. My experiences have always been very different.

I think some men say they want thin women because that's what society says they should like. It's not even brainwashing really but more a recognized mark of status.

That's not to say that it isn't a legitimate preference for a lot of men and I say fine by me. But I do get a little suspicious of men who specify a certain size. Example, my boyfriend happens to prefer bigger girls and I'm about a size 14/16. But I don't think he'd have not been attracted to me if I'd been say a 12/14 or an 18/20. But to specify a size 0 (or any size) seems to me less about attraction and more about winning the prize girl of the month.
