Some of you who run might want to read: "Once A Runner" by John L. Parker Jr. It is thought of as the definative book on distance running. When I ran in college and took Track and Field Method for credit we wer told that you never paracticed at the distance you were going to race. You ran short for speed and long for endurance. My Osteopath told me I should have quit running at 40.

At 40? Hmmm. I started running at 70, and I love it. Used to hate it. Thanks to COVID, I’ve lost weight and greatly improved my fitness. I live in Northern Europe, so I can’t always count on sunny weather, but when the sun shines, it’s bliss. I wish I could run naked more often. I can only do this on some secluded tracks.

My little Sister Dancing Doll very close to right on the mark. Healthy weight for your body frame is sexy. We all know that DD could never be passed on the street without every man noticing her and many of us girls. I am not as slim as she is and have larger hips and larger breasts and yes I am more than 10 years older. But this I promise you this even at this age I get plenty of attention. Our Mom is 64 and still get hit on!!!

Maybe it is more in attitude and the packaging of what God gave each of us.

I've noticed on Lush, Qs like this tend to label women as either skinny or curvy. The word 'skinny' tends to suggest a bone-thin couture runway model physicality... which, I think most men (and women) don't find as particularly sexy. There is a difference between 'skinny' and slender, IMO. For example, what kind of body types do men consider a Victoria Secret model or a Playboy model have? Do people consider that body type as 'skinny' and therefore unattractive? I think the masses would disagree based on the raging success of those magazines and catalogues.

Women take note of the female bodies that men seem to drool over the most and try to approximate them in whatever way possible. If you go for a Hollywood ideal, is Megan Fox considered too 'skinny'? I don't think most women are thinking men want women smaller than that size... just my opinion though. There are some hyper body conscious women that will take it too far because of body dysmorphia or related issues etc.

But first, I think we need a better definition of what is considered 'skinny'.

I've always been against women attaining an ideal they can't maintain in the long term. I will always believe that 'healthy' is what makes a woman 'sexy'.
