Why is being underweight attracitve?!
Question: I weigh about 132 ibs. and i'm a size 6. Alot of people tell me I have a models face (it's too bad about that body!) I'm 5'4! 132 pounds is not overweight and my BMI is in the middle of normal! Yet my friend who is only and inch shorter and is 100 ibs straight gets way more attention from guys. I always hear the same thing...you're prettier and have a better personality but she's got the body most guys look for. Seriously, why is a size 0, 34 A cup attractive? What happened to being a woman?! As you can imagine this has taken a pretty major toll on my self esteem and i'm seriously considering just giving in a joinging the walking sticks of the world.

There's really no way to answer this besides telling you that it's society's problem, not yours. Your weight is perfectly healthy, and anyone who goes for your friend is only telling you about themselves. It also depends on personalities of course, but seriously if you join the walking sticks of the world, you'll just be joining the norm. Honestly, I find people that are 100 pounds repulsive. A lot of other people do, too. I'd stick with your current weight. Anyone who doesn't like you for who you are isn't worth it.
Also, people who don't have a lot of muscle- it doesn't mean they aren't strong. I look weak but I'm pretty durable. Bird chest you might call me, but I won't break that easily. Hehe, my old roommate who was about 240-300+ pounds taught me that.
Be yourself. No one else can.
Also: Models are unnatural most of the time. That isn't how real people look. The real pictures in the magazine that are unedited are of models who practically starve themselves. Don't try to be fake. Your current weight is fine :) Okay?
Try to find guys who aren't like normal guys. Non-stereotypical like me. Like... NOT sex on the brain constantly. When I look at a stick, I think wow, they have serious problems- physical and mental. Be happy with who you are and keep a healthy weight. Just take my advice on this, okay? :) It will show that you're content with yourself, and that's attractive.
because men are stupid and not to be trustted. luv sucks
its not atractive to real men but it is to sinny men beacuse they have things in commin and the man wiont break
Yuck! Please don't!! the last thing I want is to be dating a girl who looks like she has the body of a young boy. It's nasty and disgusting. A woman should have some curve to her. Skinny girl walking sticks make me sick and nervous...I always think they'll break in half in a strong wind. You're a perfect weight! Don't fall for the ugly stick trend!!!
Same thing goes for all you skinny guys out there...PUT ON SOME MUSCLE!! It's embarassing seeing so many guys out there that look like they need their girls to fight for them instead of the other way around. Yuck!
I don't think it is. I think the person, either sex, looks sickly. A healthy person has a beauty glow that outshines any fad '10'.
I personally am not attracted to skinny girls. It just does nothing for me. But everyone is different. However you feel comfortable is best my friend. Life is far too short to worry about what other people think of you.
Size 6, how much skinner do you want to be, i mean really, i think size six is tiny. At the end of the day you cant really have a models body because you live in the real world.
In my opinion, being underweight is highly UNattractive. Most guys I know date real women, curves and all(seriously! Not just saying that). With underweight girls, there's nothing to hold on to. My husband tells me all the time (I'm not a stick, but not overweight either) that he's like the weight I'm at because I'm soft and actually look like a woman, not a little boy. I can't tell you why the guys are going for your friend and not you, all I can say is maybe it's just boys being boys (sex on the brain). It'll pass.
It's sad that this seems to be the way it is, but it shouldn't be. Men are visual I don't know what else to say about that!
It does take it's toll on a womans self esteem and this is why we have so many problems in the world. Magazine's, T.V., billboards, even the mannequin's they have in the department stores are all thin. The idea is to be healthy, even if that means a little extra weight, but we shouldn't be excessive in weight because that is not good for our health. I'm not sure this will ever change it just seems to be the way it is.
I do believe that a woman has to be happy with herself no matter if she is over weight or thin.
skinny is not hot to most men. in my first college psych class we learned that there was a study in england a few years back and the results were that men like women with curves. they want the boobs and the waist and the hips, not a ruler. don't worry, you're fine.
don't join the walking sticks, and try to stop measuring how great you are by some a few men's standard. and stop comparing yourself to others! i'm female, too, so I know that's hard. but constantly looking at others is no way to live.
Hmm there's also slim girls out there that would love to gain some weight. Not everyone can help a fast metab ;)
BTW I never think skinny girl's bodies look like a boy's body...
I have to be brutally honest here. Thats just how it is. Its probably because of the media. I mean not every guy likes a twig, because I know I don't, but the majority of guys don't like a girl with too much meat. Its easy, if you want more (superficial) attention, you should lose some weight. However, I think most guys would agree that some curves are better than skin and bones. Don't let it get you down though, theres always guys that will like you how you are. You should never conform just because people say to.
Because, unlike several hundred years ago, people see being thin as being beautiful becuase that means you have enough money to buy fresh fruits and veggies and expensive healthy foods, compared ot being poor and only being able to afford 2 cheeseburgers. Once upon a time, in a great society in Europe, the heavier women were, the more beautiful they were considered becuase that means that they had money and they could afford food, but society has taken a total 360 turn. The thinner you are, the more money you have to buy healhty food (well that is what society speculates). But, dont worry abou those guys at school. Everyone is beautiful and the guys that are going for that 100 pound girl are just shallow men. So, dont worry, just be yourself.
ithink under weight ppl are atractive
Usually, skinnier people look better in clothes.
