Why heterosexual men prefer extremely skinny women?

Posted by Arica Deslauriers on Wednesday, May 22, 2024

Especially white ones. You find them all over those anorexic girls who look like they'd break in half if you squeezed them too hard. Some of them even force them on diet. I thought if a man lusts for a woman, he wants her to have tits and ass. And those extra skinny girls are as flat chested as boys. I don't want to jump to the conclusion that they are all in denial and in the closet but I just find it baffling how some men are disgusted by female curves.

Because of fashion industry shoving the rail-thin and heroin chic look down their throats.

The sort of men that more shallow gay guys are attracted to often have less than 10% bodyfat which is no more healthy on men than women. Men just wear being skinny well because of our muscles

Because they're looking for the body of a 14-year-old girl having a growth spurt?

Straight men don't care about fashion models, just so you know.

R2 You mean twinks? Most gays desire them because they are young and they are attracted to youthfulness. Meanwhile straight guys want their women to be skinny even when she hits 30 and 40.

Control. They feel more in control of someone who is smaller. Then they wouldn't look alarmingly bad next to their small penises.

It's gay men in the fashion industry that are pushing skinny women. The Kardashians are the highest earning celebrities right now because of Kim's gigantic ass.

Sorry, but this is bullshit. Numerous studies have shown that men prefer hourglass figures.

A lot of men just want what will impress other men, and if that means a skinny woman who spends all her spare time at the gym then they'll take skinny women out!

There are men who will fuck fat girls, but don't consider them "streetable", so they won't take them out in public where other men will fail to be impressed.

R4 I don't mean twinks although they also count. I mean guys like this. impossible to have this much definition with more than 10% bodyfat. It's unhealthy long term. It just looks better on men in my opinion. Obviously I'm gay though

A straight uncle of mine once explained it to me this way: "Some guys are looking for their mothers, and some guys are looking for their daughters."

From what I've seen, that's pretty accurate. Roughly half (most blacks and Latino guys, definitely) are into the thick, wide-hipped, large-breasted look and the other half (most white and Asian guys) prefer the girlish, slim, nubile Taylor Swift types.

No normal straight guy is into anorexic or unhealthily skinny, though (that makes zero sense from an evolutionary perspective) . OP kind of sounds like one of those fat Fraus who is preoccupied with thinner women almost on a pathological level, and is always posting things on Facebook like "Real Women Have Curves," "Only Dogs Like Bones" etc. etc.

I still maintain the women some straight men are into, with their impossibly narrow waistlines, are no different from what some of us are into, bulging physiques only possible with dangerous diets and chemicals

by Anonymousreply 18April 9, 2018 4:50 PM

I think for the men that seek this (which frankly is rare IMO) it's a status thing. Like, it's an achievement to have zero body fat, impossible for most mere mortals to achieve. so it makes a man feel like he's got something rare and special that the other guys don't have.

I think some guys like androgynous in women, although they tend to be bi, not straight.

I used that word because I once ran across a fellow who described himself as "queer-acting, queer-appearing" as a snark against all those gay guys who call themselves "straight-acting, straight-appearing."

As a straight guy who is latino bit racially mulatto (shocker)... I like my girls thick amd not skinny or obese unless she has an amazing ass. I am not that into skinny girls and breast do not really impress me like a cute face, hair, fluffy and softness, good teeth curvy and fat ass. I really could care less for breast but just do not be too ugly and hanging.

As (r24), most straight of any culture do not prefer really skinny girls. Curvy to overweight (not obese) is the standard worldwide for hetero men. Now i am curious to know on my side. Do you gay men prefer regular weight or just muscles?

by Anonymousreply 26September 29, 2018 10:51 PM

It's a status symbol. Also men have been brainwashed by porn.

by Anonymousreply 27September 29, 2018 11:39 PM

The trend in thin women being prized by straights started in the 70s with gay male fashion designers. Remember "Twiggy"--before that women models were curvier. It is considered a status symbol to date a tall, thin woman if you are an upper middle class straight male and has been for the last 40 years.

by Anonymousreply 28September 30, 2018 12:36 AM

The only comments I've ever heard from straight male friends about weight or shape were always in favor of more -- more ass, more tits, more curves. No one ever said a woman was too fat. I did have a friend whose girlfriend was losing weight because she had taken up a new form of exercise and he said, "We don't want her to lose too much weight, now do we?" He later married a fat woman. Another friend was looking for a big woman, as in tall and strong, like a peasant brood mare. He found her. Even the guy who liked Asian women was looking for the "elusive big-titted Asian chick." He found her.

by Anonymousreply 29September 30, 2018 1:18 AM

(R29) i think the real nature of us latino and black straight men is to like plump women. This skinny shit is something that effected white men throught cultural brainwashing. A plump woman has more of her assets to show. She is meant to be like that and not skinny. A plump woman has more ass, curves, and more fertile and more able to breast feed her children. This is what a woman weight is for and not skinny shit. For us men is to be muscular or just average weight and not fat. Luckily not me and believe me that it is something instinctual for me to like overweight women. That skinny girl culture is a modern white male thing. Sorry for my English.

I think it's dangerous to generalize. Not all straight het men like curvy women. I've known plenty of straight men who almost abhor curves - the more angular the body the better. They adore Asians for instance, and that's one of the reasons. I knew a homely woman who was built like a scarecrow and she NEVER lacked for men to fuck. Some of her boyfriends were great looking, too. I don't get it, but whatever gets yer dick hard.

Truth is, everyone yearns for that white girl. Especially self loathing black men. Think. That skinny white girl is the direct opposite of a curvy black woman. Sad all around.

Also, unconsciously to humans, skinny and fit people showcase that they are not fat, lazy sloths. People are not attracted to those who would most likely be a burden, especially in times of crises. Being overweight is like wearing a character who lacks self control. Tendency to laze about as well. They jeopardize the lives of your future children and your aged self. Nobody seeks to hook up with a potential load. Overweight people tend to have depressive natures. Stagnant.

A thin, fit person by nature defies all of the undesirable traits of the overweight. Demonstrating self control , self pride and an active lifestyle.

Does this answer your question, old black racial preoccupation troll OP?

If you talked about celebrities you are right, if you talk about real straight men they prefer women with curves

R36: Skinny and fit are not the same at all. There are people that are natural skinny but that's a minority. Fit women have curves. Starving yourself to look like a model doesn't show pride at all but low self esteem

Control. Men love to control women. Most of them never achieve anything in their lives, but at least they can harass and control women who are all too easily bullied by men. Even gay men love to join into the bullying. It’s a very toxic dynamic.

Lotta obese typing in this thread. I'm surprised your sausage fingers can smash single keys.

No one looks at a fat person and thinks: healthy!

No one, outside of fetishland, wants to fuck: unhealthy!

And you're conflating two different things. A woman's musculoskeletal frame is going to be the major factor in her breast-waist-hip ratio. She can be 90lbs but will still have "curves" if the waist is notably smaller than the hips & tits. Lots of 'fat womyn' are shaped like bricks, with natural love handles that exceed their hip proportions and small breasts.

I'm suspicious that any supposedly straight 'ass man' is closeted gay. The dudes who are obsessed with monster knockers clearly have mommy issues. Straight women should probably stick with 'leg guys' for non-fucked up sex partners.

But the basic point is no one thinks your obese Jabba the slut body is sexy, including you. Like all fetishists, those who might pursue you are into the fat itself and how it impedes and impacts daily functioning, not you as a woman who is 4 pizzas away from grafting to a sofa.

One straight guy I know was envious of another straight guy we know who was dating a model. He was a social climber and thought the other guy's girl looked "elegant".

I realize the motivation for this thread is suspect, but when I first came across it, it did made me think of men I knew in my 20s who kept seeking out very beanpole-looking women with masculine faces (and style). I already thought they were in the closet, and their choices for girlfriends made me think it even more. Two guys in particular, were good-looking enough to be models, and they’d choose manish girlfriends with no t&a. It was an odd choice if they were actually straight. (Which I didn’t believe anyway.) So do some closeted men go after the least feminine looking women they can find? I wonder.

As far as the average straight guys’ tastes? This thread has already covered it enough, so I’ll leave it there.

by Anonymousreply 48October 2, 2018 1:18 AM

I didn’t think they cared. I’ve seen cute men with fat stinky fraus with hips so wide you could use them as end tables.

Men only care about smelly smelly fishtraps and it doesn’t matter what the woman looks like.

by Anonymousreply 49October 2, 2018 1:21 AM

R49 Many straight men aren’t too particular, but the better looking guys with good personalities and money definitely are going to be more choosy with their hookups and relationships. Some of it’s status, some of it’s seeking the most desirable for breeding purposes.

Did the cute mens’ fraus start off that hideous or did they let themselves go over time? For most, it’s the latter. Not many young good-looking straight men want to seek out a known whale, no matter how great she is at cooking and sucking cock.

OP, straight men (on average or in any significant number) aren't attracted to extremely skinny women. From what I've seen and heard they're okay with women who are at a normal weight('normal' being that middle ground between skinny-and-chubby) and women who are slightly overweight (chubby, but not sloppy-fat). As others have stated, the hetero preference is for the curvy women with the “hourglass figure”.

r41/r44/r46, you're the only one in this thread who is clearly obsessed with race. Stop trying to ruin this site and go back to Voat or 4Chan, for fucks sake.

r51, ask them to describe "curves" and see if it's any different than the Krissy Metz-type women that are described on here by fraus as "curvy". They'll likely name or describe women that have the shape of Christina Hendricks, Scarlett Johansson, Sofia Vargara, JLo, or Beyonce NOT Roseanne, Rebel Wilson, Melissa McCarthy, Mo'Nique, Gabourey Sidibe, or Lidia Porto.

Heterosexual men want a woman that will impress other heterosexual men. In other times and places the man whose woman had the most tightly bound waist or the smallest bound feet or the plumpest bottom or palest skin won, there days the man with the slimmest woman wins.

But then it's not like straight women don't want a man that will impress other women, but their grounds for impressing include more than looks, same for gay men.

I had a slender gorgeously-pretty Nigerian friend in HS who would always tell me she wished she had my body, and back then I was a chubby pasty white 4 who just happened to carry weight in the breastmeat and the upper arms & thighs. She looked near enough like Naomi Campbell and had guys falling all over her but just couldn’t get thicc, and it bothered her immensely. The boys (majority white) in our class would sneer and laugh at me for the way I looked but in her eyes I had the ideal body. Her attitude intrigued me, and made me realise that all these standards are dangerous constructs women should ignore.

Same with attraction towards females, not everyone likes plump, big bust, big hips. Not every woman naturally looks like that, either, look at Emma Watson. She isn't plastic at all, a very natural looking young woman, yet no curves.

Straight men are more passive, submissive and servile than gays. It is in their very nature to be so. When a male has to be both passive/dominant with a sex that is much weaker than his own, it is a sign of weakness. Masculine gay men are the real alpha males in nature, unfortunately we are living a lie, really is the opposite of what we have been told by society.
