Men, what do you really think of women's bodies?

I’m new around here, so maybe this has been asked, but really? You’ve never kissed someone?

Not romantically, no.

Lack of desire or opportunity? If you don’t mind my asking.

Thank you for the interesting opportunity to comment on this. First, I don’t think it is the OP’s job to look good for me, but am proceeding on the basis that she seems to be interested in something like that.

I think there is too much emphasis on being thin, and on average women would be prettier with more weight, not less. And I mean the general mix of people I meet, not just the scary thin models.

Cellulite is no big deal.

Feminine curves are nice, very nice.

I’m not so fond of trim muscle. I think soft is nice.

I’m also fond of fair skin, and not so much of tans.

And different is nice. I like it when people don’t all look similar. I usually find something out of the norm to like about other people’s bodies.

All that being said, I really wish people were happy on the beach and not worried about how they looked.

Quartz has plenty of company here.

Kissing someone requires a lot of things coming together. Some of them pretty complicated and outside of one’s control. Like a ton of stuff, it is often taken for granted.

The first thing I’ll notice is whatever stands out. So, yeah, a huge rack will get my attention. However, the first thing I’ll admire is carriage. If you carry yourself well, if you move well, if you look like you’re comfortable with the size and weight and proportion that you are, that’s attractive to me. I’ve seen plenty of women who most would call slim who didn’t look comfortable, and it isn’t much fun to look at. However, a women of a larger size who can move? That’s worth watching.

Dunnow, sounds like “regular guy at the pool” to me. The creepy part doesn’t start until they look like they’re about to start slobbering… (I’m convinced some guys are part doberman)

The reason I loved my “wench” costume is that it got men to stop trying to stare at my ass while standing in front of me. “He’s staring at my boobs” was a distinct improvement. (No, I don’t have pics)

Interestingly, this is the exact opposite of my order.

Believe me, no one knows that better than me. I hope I didn’t come off as snooty–I was genuinely curious, not judging at all. :slight_smile:

I’m afraid that I’m going to have to take one for the team here and ask for …

Curses! Foiled again! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I’ve dated women of every shape and size. I find things sexy about all of them. So don’t obsess about hiding things. I probably wouldn’t notice, anyway.
Besides, as the Internet has made me aware, there are bound to be guys out there who are absolutely obsessed with any particular body type or feature. Are you plump? Do you have excessive underarm hair? Are you crosseyed? There are platoons of guys who find that irresistably sexy.

Are they cute and rich?

I have no doubt you could find some that are.

Yes, exactly. I’m an obese (230 pounds this morning, down 21 from my heaviest, up 50 from my goal) very curvaceous (read: big boobs, small-for-my-size waist and big butt) redhead standing about 5’7" on a good day. My bff is 5 foot even, 100 pounds soaking wet, no boobs to speak of (although she has a lovely derriere - she looks like a Classical statue). We’ve both had our share of fans.

No matter what you look like, you are someone’s dream girl. Just pretend that someone is that guy over there on the beach looking at you, and that alone will give you the confidence and smile you need to add +4 to your looks score. :smiley:

This. The rest of your post also, but this especially.

I’m a woman and where I live (northern Italy) there is a lot of pressure to look good and a lot of people are in a very nicely toned shape. So I feel it sometimes, but I tell myself “I’m here to have fun at the beach, not to parade around or be judged”. My friend said something very true as well, namely that the tanned and toned brigade are probably the ones parading around whereas the people who don’t spend that much time on their bodies are chatting or reading their books, so you probably see a lot less of them.

It’s all good. If you’re not attractive to one guy, it’s his issue, not yours. Plenty of us will find you attractive regardless of what you do to prepare for the swimsuit season (we’re kind of wired that way. :smiley: )

Of course, pics are needed for final judgment. :wink:

JMHO, Size 12 means nothing to me. What I notice about a woman’s body is healthy hair, clear eyes, and a proportional shape.

Well??? Pics???

To answer the OP, I always check out the bosoms.

Well, if any Aberdonian Dopers want to meet up, I’m intending to lunch at the Blackfriars tomorrow. 13:00 ish.

Ah, yes. The RenFair Gambit. :slight_smile:
