for the men..

what dress size do you like your women to be?
i feel in this country we are all bombarded with images of skinny girls, but is this what you men want?
the average size is size 16 but i feel that most men would feel that was overweight or fat.

And here was me thinking all you guys probably only liked 10- 12 sized girls. It is lovely to hear that many of you guys do like girls with a bit of 'meat' as you say. I used to be a size 10 but always top heavy when I was in my teens and early 20s, but 3 children and a long fight against bone cancer changed all that. I am now in my 50s, 14-16 below and 22 on top and absolutely amazed (not to mention very grateful) that my partner thinks me beautiful. My daughter and friends say the same which I admit makes me feel wonderful. For me personally, beauty most definitely comes from within, but I tend only to apply that to others, not to myself. I give myself a hard time about my size. Luckily I have a wonderful partner who every day lets me know how much he loves me and that I am indeed beautiful. That means the world to me! So Goodsoulette, your brother isn't the only one! There are quite a few lovely men out there like your brother! :o)

i struggle with my weight, was a 14-16 when i met my partner, put on lots when we moved in together and went up to a 22, i am currently an 18, but just had a baby. Through all my ups and downs my partner loves me and wont leave me alone (hence new baby lol) he always says 'big or small, its me he loves' and he is the only man i have ever believed

I like a girl who is about a 12-14, with some curves on her.
Not fat, but some womanly curves. I went to a wedding recently and sat opposite two sisters who were facially stunning, but also borderline anorexic. Their father publicly lambasted them for being too skinny, which although I felt highly inappropriate at the time, was also what they needed to hear. They were highly embarassed, but I also knew they could have had the eye of most blokes present if they had been less obsessed with their figure and put a bit of weight on....a sad indictment of modern life I'm afraid.

Nothing to be ashamed of being a bit curvy, lots of men love it.

I hope I end up with a big bird one day, they are the best.

The key is to be happy with your own body, then that will come across as confidence.

I dont think men are that shallow - most of the good ones prefer a kind, caring and fun personality, just the same as us lot.
