There's a post below about 'big girls', and the general concensus so far is big girls are beautiful and ohmnomnom. So far anyway.
But someone recently pointed out to me that 'there's a difference, Han, between being a curvy lady and being built like a truck...' as we discussed a certain person we saw out and about in possibly less than suitable attire for her size, depending on your view.
So what to you counts as big? Weight and clothes sizes please... If you give clothes sizes, say where in the world you are since a size 6 uk is a size 0 us I believe...
When does a girl start being big? When does she start being built like a truck?
When is a girl too big that she stops being attractive to you?
Boilerplate disclaimer: I am not as shallow as the answer below may make me appear. The question posed was solely about physical appearance vis a vis attraction, so that's where my answer focuses.
The first determinant - for my tastes - between a curvy lady and being built like a truck is, well, curves. A voluptuous woman who has big breasts, big hips, yet still appears 'shapely,' has a waistline that's in obvious contrast to her bust and hips, and generally dresses to accentuate her figure is more likely to get an appreciative glance from me than one who looks and dresses as if her body resembled a refrigerator in basic shape. If a woman's figure appears 'proportionate' rather than a clearly large stomach or thighs or arms, she's less likely to get my first glance. The total package of that woman can still draw my interest, just as a stone-cold fox with the personality of catsup is unlikely to keep my attention very long.
I'd be ball-parking any sizes because of differences in height and proportion and such, but I'd say above USA size 14, a woman's starting to cross over to 'built like a truck' territory.
In my personal opinion, if she can make me smile and can have a good time then size really does not matter, I once met a girl who was to me the sexiest woman on the planet, she was gorgeous
and had a size 0 figure and as soon as she opened her mouth it was over and I lost all interest, she was conceited and new she could twist men who think with there dicks, these type of women are
very dangerous to men, she wasnt the first or last i've met.
I like women who can hold a convo and are funny I really do not care how they dress or what size they are, as long as they can carry themselves and I do not mean in weight terms, usually bigger girls have bigger personalitys and smaller girls are usally trouble so give me a bigger girl any day of the week.
Obviously bed ridden is ridiculous unless of course she had some form of illness after I met her.
I like women. period. As long as they aren't bigger than me... lol
Everyone has an "ideal threshold" that they should attempt to maintain. Some women are bigger boned, or taller and their ideal weight and clothing size will be very different from a girl that is smaller boned or shorter.
The important thing is to be healthy and try to stay within your ideal range. If you're eating well and exercising and can't get lower than a size 10, then there is no need to shoot for a size 2. Everyone is different. I feel sorry for women that are naturally meant to be a bit fleshier who traumatize themselves via eating disorders and body dysmorphia in order to attain the media standard ideals or the ideals set out by misogynistic men who require them to chase a body size that is not naturally or easily attainable for them. A woman should aim for a healthy body size (individual to her) and then find a man or woman that appreciates this about her.
Whoever is attracted to bigger girls will find them, and those who prefer a thin girl will have their options as well.
I judge a woman by the size of her heart. The rest is subject to change and gravity anyway.
I have a friend who likes really big women, and when he points out at one of them I just smile coz I think she has nothing attractive, but he seems so amazed and it's obvious there's something about her he likes, and guess what, he isn't that big either. It's a matter of personal taste.
Dark's right. It's the size of their heart that matters the most.
Once anyone answers this question with specific measurements, someone's going to feel insulted.
I think that men are genetically hard-wired to prefer a certain look in women, from the dawn of time. The swell of breasts, narrowing of waist,and swell of hip signal a mature, healthy woman, of childbearing age, able to bear offspring with a minimum amount of difficulty in labor. And thus is his DNA passed on, to live to fight another day. For me, I prefer that she be proportionate. I prefer that she be active, healthy, fit. I've dated women from 98 pounds up to 160 pounds, from size 0 to size "Whoa!" And any of them that I broke things off with first, their size wasn't a factor. Attitude was, and habits, and just generally not getting along any more. But... as I've said before - it's not the size of the bewbies, but what lay a few inches further in that makes a woman attractive or not.
If a girl's belly sticks out more than her boobs? That's big.
BMI percentage would be the technical definition of what is too big.
I prefer a fit woman but as stated on an earlier post that is my personal preference in terms of what I find attractive.
