Somewhat-Brutal Honesty Hour #5

Give us the skinny!

I'll probably get smacked around hardcore for this one, but man, in this lady's humble opinion, there is simply nothing like a nice, skinny guy. (Yes, I *am* waiting for the other ladies out there to start screaming "WHAT THE HELL?!")

Yeah, believe it or not, I actually prefer my men kind of skinny. Big, burly, muscly guys just don't quite do it for me the way a naturally thin guy does. People *were* born with necks, after all, so why hide them? ^_-

Now, I should probably quantify what I'm talking about here. A good lot of the guys I know would qualify as "skinny" in my mind, even though they might not to other people. This is skinny. This is skinny. This is skinny. (For those depicted, trust me, it's *not* an insult to be referred to as skinny! Apologies if you take it as such.)

Basically, any guy that isn't particularly fleshy-looking, be it from excessive muscle or fat, is super-yummy. So, to those who work out in order to improve their stock with the chicks, let it be known that it doesn't work with *this* chick. ^_-

(Amendment to entry: I think I have a better way to quantify "skinny" now... b/c anybody who *isn't* bulky, pudgy, fat, etc. qualifies as skinny, at least in my mind. So if you're not a fat ass or a total musclehead, you're probably among the ranks of People Whom I Consider Skinny. Have a nice day.)

feh!

Fat guys rule. And I'm not just saying that because my stomach's friggin' huge either ::grins like an idiot::

LOL! Yeah, there is a certain charm to squishier men too... they're generally much nicer to cuddle with. Sharp bones and ribs do not make good pillows! :p

Oh yeah! I saw him at the party... yeah, he *would* qualify as "skinny". ^_-

I get a lot of flack for liking chubby guys. I mean, if a guy wears a size 38-40 pants, wah hoo! My mom says when I finally get off my medication and lose weight it'll change, but I don't think so. So if you like the skinny guys, then I like the fat ones and we've pretty much got the population covered :P But I wouldn't say anything bad about you liking skinny guys, it just means you're not competition :)

LOL! Sounds fair to me. ^_^ And your mom is nuts, because I don't generally go for bigger guys, but I'm actually quite heavyset.

I tend to like "skinny" guys too....they seem more cuddly ;)

That's interesting to hear... I always thought that if you're a bigtime cuddler, it would be prudent to find a guy with a little extra padding.

Only if you're using him as a pillow ;) Guys that are skinny with a bit of muscle (for a toned look) oh and 6' or so..are perfect cuddlers...they're big enough for the teddy bear effect without being squishy.

I hate 'buff' guys. Then again, I don't like macho men in general. I like girly men. Hee hee. My ex is super skinny -- 6 ft tall and 135 lbs soaking wet. Not an ounce of muscle or fat on him. Too bad he's such an asshole. LOL

EXACTLY. I think I've outweighed probably 3 out of the 4 boyfriends I've had. Muscles are *very* overrated, especially the huge, bulky kind.

Ooohhh...

Me too. Skinny guys are yummy. But then, there is something about a skinny man with built arms and a six pack that is nice as well...

*ROTFLMAO* What a thoughtful post.

[identity profile] skeets.livejournal.com 2001-02-19 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
YES! That's totally what I go fore... somebody with a nice toned look going on, but who isn't actively trying to be super-buff.

This is why God invented the Double Standard. ^_-
