is it IMPORTANT to be SKINNY??!!!

being skinny is not improtant!...the more important is your health!...some skinny people are not healthy and some are healthy!...Just like me, im a skinny person but im healthy!...i dont get sick easily!...my resistance is very strong and im complete with all the nutrients that my body needs!...

Its not at all necessary to be skinny. Man do like fat woman also...but it doesn't mean tooo fat...

Because every where you look on tv, magazines, movies, the girls are always skinny and in perfect shape. They are portrayed as being sexy and beautiful because they are skinny and fit. Girls look up to these women and want to look like them. And to be honest, most men DO like skinny girls so a girl thinks she has to be stick thin to get a hot guy!

guys prefer women who are not too thin. the girl must have the right amount of flesh in the right places.

Some girls say they do it to feel good about themselves.The reality is, yes, guys prefer skinny women over chubby ones. A good example are some celebrities who have not had a child because they don't want to loose their figure. (Even if they don't admit it).

That is what the media wants you to believe. But , I think no to skinny and yes to healthy. Find out what your ideal healthy weight for your size and height would be then go from there. Men dont always like skiny. Different men have different tastes. I think too skinny can be very unhealthy and make you look sick. So, dont let the media fool you into thinking skinny is in. I can assure its not.

Most of the guys I know don't like skinny women. My boyfriend is very slim and it prefers a bigger woman over the skinny ones.

I agree with mssnow. A lot of this cry for skinniness is due to the media and what they think is appropriate. It has caused a lot of problems with younger teenagers as well. Their constant battle to look as good as the models/actresses lead to some very dangerous problems. You should find out what the ideal weight is for you and try to stick to that.

i am a size 8 american, size 10 european..most of the men i know like to their women to have a little meat on them..the very skinny ones look a bit on the slice of zambon side lol..all the men i spoke too don't like that..

I don't know about you but I don't think women should be skinny. We look good with curves, not fat, but fat in the right places. There are of course men who likes skinny girls, but why do we starve ourselves for men to like us? If we are healthy and curvy, that's really not a curse

I am not obsessed to be skinny..I love my size med. built??i was once very skinny when i was teens..my husbands mom used to tell me that i was malnourish and she even mutter that i have nothing to eat..after my first child i put on a little bit of weight ..my hubby was very happy i look great.Not all guys prefer skinny i have known a lot..well this may refer to women who are fashion oriented and probably they want to be fashion models(coz u have to be skinny)I depends on how you will carry yourself and as long as you know you are healthy..that matter most.

yeh i agree.....!! it weird aint it...!! maybe its because evry1 thinks...guys prefer skinny girlz...!! look at our cheerleaders....they are all skinny arent they.....and for them its like..."its raining men...!!"

nope ...not really...!! skinny is not IN any more....its soo last season...!! its more important to be fit...and have a good figure...!! i prefer that anyday.....would starve myself for any guy....naaaa

It's important to be HEALTY, but skinny is not a requirement. Take care of yourself, eat healthy the majority of the time, exercise regularly, have a treat once in a while and don't take life TOO seriously and find a guy who can accept you for who you are, not just what you look like. Some guys will say they prefer skinny women, but I've been both fat, skinny and in between and I've never had any problems finding a boyfriend no matter what my size. In fact, when I was skinny and single I had more problems because for some reason I was less sure of myself and placed more emphasis on my physical appearance. As a result, I think I put out a vibe of desperation that men picked up on and it pushed them away. Once I learned to be confident with myself, dating was never a problem.

There are different kinds of people. Some people like fat, short, tall, skinny, and etc... Everyone has their own taste. I think the media pushes it. I heard on the radio the other day about them setting a weight limit on the fashion show because the women were too skinny. If you're too skinny like nothing but skin and bones, that doesn't look good and no one will like that.

Girls look upto models who they think are popular, famous and beautiful. Most of the models are skinny. Thats one of the reasons why girls are obsessed with being skinny. But nowadays skinny models are being banned for good. As far as choice of boys are concerned I guess guys too dont like very skinny girls. I prefer girls who are healthy and well endowed.
