I was wondering why guys only seem to pay attention to the skinny pretty girls, and pretty much ignore thicker girls?
Thoughts? Opinions? Stories?

I know it's ask the guys but thought I'd add my opinion anyway...
I'm not skinny and I'm not all that pretty either - in fact I'm rather average, but I've never been short of attention from the opposite sex. I think it's more to do with personality. I mean, sure, first looks will draw the eye, but after that there has to be more to it...
If I guy isn't interested in me because I'm not skinny and gorgeous, then he's saving me the job of getting to know him in the first place, only to find out how superficial he is. That's good.
Regarding losing weight and it taking years off, actually, as one gets that little bit older, what I have seen is that losing weight can actually age you, especially if the weight goes around the face - it can leave a person looking a bit haggard - you need a wee bit of fat under the skin!! LOL (well, that's my excuse anyway!!)

Also butting in here... I think you're right with all the above points, I just wanted to add that in my experience when I've questioned guys as to why they've found me attractive (being average and curvy myself) and they've mostly said to me that it has alot to do with proportion.
So yeah, I'm a UK size 12/14 but I'm pretty in proportion, boobs match my figure etc etc. I may not be the one everyone has got their eye on in a gathering, but at least I know I'm getting a guy who's more than just superficial.

Meh...neither one of you know for certain that you're not getting a man who is not superficial. What if you were to find out a few years down the road that the only reason your fellow was initially attracted to you was because of your 'average looks'. Isn't that being superficial just the same? You don't think there are men out there who prefer to target UK size 10-16 women, as that is what turns them on to the max?
I think Clum nailed it. And I think the OP tossed out a passive aggressive/derogatory bomb in her opening statement. Skinny, pretty...instead of say...slender, toned, fit. I suppose she's to be given credit for not typing: emaciated, boney or starved, along with some variation of the adjective (pretty).
Geeze Louise (that's what some of us Yanks say, Clum)

Thanks, Vato. I give a lot of myself, but don't believe those DRD rumors, that was cleared up *months* ago.

I think the original assertion is bullshit - guys don't only pay attention to "skinny pretty girls". There's way too much inaccurate gender stereotyping goes on in these forums.
Yes, a slender lady with an nice figure will catch the eye, but so will someone with very striking features or a cute face or a nice round ass. And very few guys are superficial enough to not give a chunky bird the time of day. It's rarely a factor when developing feelings for someone. And for some guys, any hole's a goal.
I think the reason "thicker" girls think this is the case is because of their own insecurities. In truth, people are barely paying attention to anything or anyone most of the time. I don't even remember if my bus driver was male or female this morning.
Eesh.

So does this mean you're immune right now? Like I can't give you mine...er I mean cool!
Like, lets just say it's not all clear though, it's cool. One less stop on the way home. No need to grab the KY jelly. I can just use some of the puss in the general area. Like how you were telling me that one time ;) I'm all worked up now.
I went there... Gross I know.

I am a curvy girl and I have never had issues with men not being attracted to me. In fact I have had many men tell me that they like my curves. Not every man is going to be attracted to ever woman. I am not attracted to men with long hair or facial hair that is my preference and I don't think it makes me a bad person. To each their own.

What about short, fat, bald guys? I'm not fussy when it comes to sizes though the anorexic type don't really turn me on.
