What Men Want
It is a newspaper article that set me thinking and I decided to seek actual answers to this question. Here are some of the answers that I found: These are actual answers to actual questions:
Q. Do men mind some extra pounds?
A. “I like big women. Some guys don’t. Some little guys can’t handle them. I can handle a lot of woman. When we’re in bed, the bigger woman gives me bigger loving. That’s just me. Big women are sexy. No doubt about it.”
A. “Slice? Ew. Why would I want to slice ANY woman, no matter how big? What matters is how you carry it, how you wear it, and where you wear it.”
A. “I don’t like skinny women”
Q. Men want women to look their best, what does that mean?
A. “When I write that men want you to look great it means simply this: look the very best you can for your size, type, and build. Then carry it with confidence. Ever wonder why men groan when their woman asks, “honey, does this look my butt look fat?” If she is confident, she already knows and doesn’t have to ask.”
Q. What size breasts are the right size?
A. “The ladies tend to obsess about this more than guys do. In my opinion, decent-sized breasts would be any of the first four letters in the alphabet: A, B, C or D.”
Q. How critical are guys about women’s bodies?
A. “ ……the truth is, I was far more conscious of how it felt emotionally than how “perfect” her body or mine was. The tenderness she gave me outweighed anything else.”
Q. What is really important to you?
A. “A sense of style is important. She should be able to carry herself well in whatever she wears.”
A. “it is all about the energy she exudes”
A. “It’s her smile that makes me go weak kneed”
A decent size bust should also include E F G and H!
I thought I was a FF (which my boyfriend said stood for f***ing fantastic) but when I was measured properly I found out I’m a G and my boyfriend says it stands for gorgeous.

This reminds me of the Poll we conducted “Is Thin Really In?”
Come to find out 80% of American men want a curvy woman rather than the super stick like figures we see on the runways.
Watch it on FOX WORLD NEWS!

@Sue LOL, you know what they say: there is no such thing at too big.
@Nancy, you know i have yet to come across a man who says a woman has to be thin to be beautiful. Most men just seem to love curves, i really fail to understand where the popular misconception arises from that thin is beautiful!

A late-comer here… The “thin is beautiful” misconception arises from the elite league of homosexual fashion designers and presenters, whose collective agenda appears to be to convince everyone that to be an attractive ‘woman’, you need the body of a 13-year old boy. Why that would conjure ‘sex object’ images and motives in anyone’s mind is quite far beyond me.
It is up to US, the consumers, to appropriately and selectively support and endorse the fashion industry. There are some great ‘plus-size’ works being accomplished, but to make these mainstream requires OUR commitment to support them. They need to stop calling it ‘plus-size’ too. The norm should be called ‘minus-size’. I have always sought women with VERY prominent hips, along with a diminished waistline. People should be aware that this is per human design; scientific findings indicate that a woman’s ‘hormone profile’ is beneficially modulated by having sufficient fat, YES, I SAID FAT, located in certain places about the hips and thighs; even so far as REDUCING propensity for type II diabetes in later life. Extreme belly fat is of course a different story. We should come back down to Earth and realize that our very health as a race of living beings may require us to do something different than what a few gay men say about what women should look like.
My feeling that a woman needs to have some pounds is a throwback to some or another ancient concept of human design having something to do with women being able to carry and nurture a developing child within her abdomen, or something like that. Plus, there’s no greater feeling (imho) than being ‘fully intimate’ with a woman when you can feel the soft and full curves of her bare skin with your hands as you revel in your closeness, and realize that you are sublimely privileged to have yourself inside one of the most wonderful creations ever devised (yes, I’m a heterosexual guy). The most attractive women don’t look remotely like anything a man could ever be. Not this androgynous waif-thing that Hollywood continually shoves into our respective spheres of influence. I’ll pass on ‘bone-collision’ lovemaking, thank you (other than the frontal pubic bone section, where some aggressive contact is quite desirable in many instances).
