I think it's an interesting question and I'm curious to know, too. Not because I judge my own self-worth by what men think, LOL my own personal standards are high enough on their own - but because I think it would be interesting to see how men genuinely feel about the subject.
There is so much pressure on women from the MEDIA'S ideal image. Women are stick thin and airbrushed to take every flaws away... but I've heard plenty of men claim they look artificial, too high-maintenance, and just too picture perfect to take seriously. I also have some guy friends who claim to loooooove a really curvy woman.
I'm just wondering how many of you buy into the advertising "ideal."

On a serious side...I can say that a woman'e "size" has never come into question when it comes to dating or just hanging out. When it comes to being intimate, The only size referrence that is a total turn off is a skinny woman. I don't want to wrap my arms around a woman anf feel my fingers meet in the middle of my own back. I prefer a full figured woman.
I find it hard to believe that men would all prefer the same thing... surely they don't all think that way?
I know for me, I have always avoided two types of men... the playboy and the lovesick puppy. LOL I was always much more inclined to go for those with the character lines, or the little things that made them unique as opposed to the standard. The world is full of ordinary men (and women)... and that is just kind of dull and confining to me. I would much prefer one who stands out in his own way, perfect or not.

Not all, but most of them think the same way here.This is their understanding for attractiveness...

Hmmm....I agree, fit and athletic is also good, but I just gotto have those curves....
...that's a heck of a handle you got here mate..!!
woody636: Morning all! Guess I'd have to say fit and athletic. Personally, I like doing lots of active things; would be nice to have someone who participated.
Prefer average healthy but not extreme fit. Skinny and curvy both fine. Extreme large not so desirable. I do believe ladies think too much over this topic.

greenoctober: I wish people would reply on these and say what you voted for and why.....honesty is good....and I wanna know!! lol
I voted for curvy, but it should have said curvy and not dumb as a rock. I am not saying that all curvy chicks are that way, just some of them. I better be quiet while I am not to far behind.
I like it all ladies just no too skinnies or fat. i like a little fat tho like BBW but not to point of morbid obese. my favorite is not skinny or overweight oonly normal and healthy but with nice curves.

I created this poll not because I am worried about what they think of my body, but because I was curious to know the turnout. I agree with you and have heard the same from guy friends WhatUWish4.
