Why men like skinny women (the cold hard truth)
Sep 30, 2008 by Karen · Leave a Comment
Ever wonder why the best looking guys out there always
seem to date the skinny “hot chicks” ?
What makes guys jump to attention and break their necks
when a skinny hot chick walks into the room?
Here are just a few reasons for you take into consideration.
This post is not intended to make anyone feel bad, but rather
shed some light on some of the (stupid?) reasons as to why
most guys are only really attracted to skinny women.
<caveat> This article doesn’t apply to all guys. There
are plenty of guys out there that find “not so skinny” girls
perfectly attractive. It’s just harder to find them.
1. Society
Take a look at any magazine cover or t.v. show
and you will see nothing but size 2 and under women.
Hollywood and the media perpetuate skinny women
as being “hot”. Back in the 1600′s, this was not the case.
Women that were “pleasantly plump” (even downright obese)
were seen as beautiful because their size suggested that they
would be good child bearers and mothers. Skinny chicks back in
those days were looked upon as poor and malnourished.
I think any guy that is having a problem getting a skinny chick
in this day and age should devote his efforts to building a time
machine back to the 1600′s. Jackpot, baby.
2. Porn
A good portion of the guys out there watch insane amounts of
porn. Almost all of these porn models have perfect asses,
skinny legs and arms and big breasts. To a guy, porn is like
a sacrament. It is how most guys learn about sex and what
a girl looks like with her clothes off. I would go as far as
saying that porn for most guys is like having a second girlfriend.
She doesn’t care how hung or buff you are, she is always there
whenever you need her and in those times when a real woman is
hard to find…..She will be only a few mouse-clicks away.
With all that being said, is it any wonder why guys tend to
think that chicks in real life with “banging bodies” are hot?
3. Sex
Guys don’t like to see arm fat and belly fat and insane amounts
of leg fat on a girl they are having sex with. Most guys would
say that this is a complete turn-off. When a guy sees a girl
in real life, he sometimes pictures what she would look like
having sex with him. If all he can see is a big belly, he might
get a bit (read: totally) turned off.
A skinny girl can also do things in bed that a “bigger” girl
would have a hard time with. The word “spinner” comes
to mind….
4. Bragging rights
Most guys like to show off their skinny trophy girlfriends to
their friends and the public in general. It gives them a sense
of pride and ownership of such a “valuable asset” and some
might even go as far as to revel in the fact that they are
making other men jealous. Guys are also keenly aware
that if they are dating a “fat chick”, their friends would
have a ton of material (no pun intended) to make fun
of them with.
5. Low self esteem
This one goes hand in hand with the #4 reason. Guys that
tend to like to show off their girlfriends usually have low self
esteem. By having other guys (including their friends) look
at their girlfriend and in some cases act jealous, it reaffirms
their self worth on a daily basis.
6. The protector
Some guys want to feel like they are the sole
protector of their girlfriend. As such, a skinny girl
would fit snugly inside his arms and he could hold her
and feel that she is his little angel. He could curl
up with her on the sofa when watching a movie and
she would fit right into the couch.
7. A sense of accomplishment
Generally speaking, skinny “hot” chicks have a ton
of self confidence, and as such, are a bit harder to
get a date with (because a wider dating pool is open
to them than to girls that are “bigger”). Guys that can successfully
score a date (or more) with a skinny girl tend to feel
that they have actually put in work and were rewarded
greatly for their efforts. Don’t believe me? Take any
normal looking guy out to a bar and set him off on
a mission to get phone numbers. Chances are that
the majority of the phone numbers he will get are from
girls that aren’t secure with the way their bodies look.
Girls that are willing to take anything that is thrown their way.
Chances are if he is very lucky, he might get that
skinny chick at the bar to give him her number. More likely
than not, she won’t because almost all the guys in the
bar are vying for her attention. This potential denial
in and of itself makes a guy want a skinny chick just
that much more. You always want what you can’t have.
And the final reason (and most likely) why some guys
are really and truly only attracted to skinny women:
8. Guy that only date skinny girls are shallow
assholes that will one day wind up being 40, single,
and balding with a huge beer belly, going to community college
classes at night with the sole intention of trying to pick
up some 18 year old piece of ass.
Not that there is anything wrong with that….because if you
are a guy that is 40 years old, fat, balding and taking community
college courses at night for the sole intention of getting a younger
female (and you are successful), my hat is off you.
Rock on brother !!
….
My advice to you? Don’t worry about your weight, unless
it is for health concerns only. If you do choose to embark
on a diet plan or want to start exercising to lose weight,
do it for yourself. Don’t do it because “one day I will be
skinny and hot”. You are only setting yourself up for failure
that way.

This article made me laugh!
I’m over 40, no hair on my head, single (divorced), but I don’t have a belly and I don’t have any desire to date women under 30. I’ve pulled a lot of women, in a wide variety of ages, shapes, sizes, and heights, and still continue to pull them. With all the options available to me, I am attracted to tall, thin women like a magnet. It has very little to do with societal value, and almost everything to do with sex – easy physical access to the goods down below, as well as ease of maneuverability. Plus, if she breaks a heel and sprains her ankle, well, I can just pick her up and carry her.

I’m with the guy who posted above me….I’m a guy in my mid 30′s and at this point in the game, it’s all about the sex. I was never a “looker” when I was in my younger years, so rapidly making up for lost time with all the 30 year old women who are desperate to land a boyfriend so they won’t be alone for the rest of their lives.
When hot young 20 year olds become hot not-so-young 40 year olds, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. As long as you got line on your fishing pole, you’re sure to land yourself a keeper.

reese you are fricken pathetic quit whinning that shitty guys don’t like you calling skinny petite girls ugly is not going to make you any prettier because you probally ugly and just plain annoying and just jealous because they are prettier than you.i bet your one of those ugly people who thinks thier hot but their not i’m slim 5’4 127pounds and people tell me i look good and i have a healthy bmi 21.8. and plus normal in this county is actually a bit chubby so how much do you weigh?

Great article. I agree with most of the points and as a guy I do find it harder to land skinny chicks. I’m dating a fattie right now and it’s depressing me on multiple levels, but ironically not because of sex. I think women are losing incentive to keep fit because with the obesity epidemic 1 in 4 women are obese in America so guys are stuck with it.
January 17th, 2010 at 1:04 pm
i totally agree with this article…it is a little ridiculous though. i don’t understand where any guy gets of thinking he has the right to have a “hot chick”
if you don’t have the body of an abercrombie model….then why should i have to?
as for RAF: that is the most disgusting thing i have ever heard. how dare you ever call your girlfriend a fattie. you deserve to get slapped by every person in the world right now for being an absolute pig.
January 17th, 2010 at 9:05 pm
I am 40 and single, I am not going bald and I don’t have a beer belly. The reason I like thin women is because they kick as and fat chicks gross me out.
try again with your logic the only thing you got right is I am 40 and single. I will die single before I hang with a fat pig. The biggest reason I am single is because women think it is ok to be a fat pig. Most guys think with there dick and over look it, I wont.

Some guys find skinny girls nauseating. (anorexic) a little weight wont hurt a girl. But alot is as nauseating as anorexic girls.
February 1st, 2010 at 11:55 pm
well all guys have different taste just like women do. some guys like big women others like them skinny.I personally think women need to get in shape to be HEALTHY, to have confidence , to give them more options…(like how not to settle with men like tim, our 40yr old douchebag up a couple of comments above me)LOL i mean your old and most likely jeffrey dahmer disgusting look alike. I work out alot to a point were i have reached a very toned body and i am good looking and i love turning done guys like tim

Well, most of the things posted in the article have truth to them. Who doesn’t want a woman who resembles a model or a pornstar? And most woman wouldn’t mind a guy who looks like Brad Pit or George Clooney.
Realistically though, we should mostly concentrate on whether we find our partner attractive. I have been with heavier women and I have to say that I was attracted to them in many ways. Not just because they were heavy or slim. Attraction depends on many factors, you have to take all of them into account, not just the person’s weight.
Also, look at yourself closely before demanding that your girl/guy look a certain way. The fish is most times only as good as the bait.

I am confused by this article. One minute it sounds like its against plus size women and in another paragraph it sounds like they are cheering them on to be who they are. SO which is it? I agree with some people here who say ” you like what you like.” I don’t feel its right to judge people based on appearance, what gives you the right to call some one a pig? or a fattie? whatever you throw out to the universe you get back 10 fold. Imagine what others maybe saying about you. You don’t know what struggles people may be going through, and everyone has their demons that cause them to be who they are. Skinny or Fat, Tall or Short difference is what makes this world unique. We need individuality to make this soceity work. Skinny may be in this Century, it could be OUT the next. Skinny does not automatically make you hot, there are plenty of “HOT” people that dont have personality, skills, and education. You need those things to survive in life. Vanity can only get you so far. I feel sorry for those of you who are narrow minded and can’t see beyond body parts and sex. It really shows your maturity level. Living life with an open heart and an open mind could be bring you so much more in life and You never know what your missing, so don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.

Well I am a bigger lady and I have no problem getting dates with successful, good looking mature men. Opening doors for me, taking me out, holding my hand and kissing me in public, taking me to hang out with their friends, taking me shopping. Being proposed to 3 times by such men. I believe a woman can be good looking, no matter what her size, as long as she has confidence in herself and I believe men are attracted to this.
March 21st, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Yes guys can be shallow pigs, but women are just as shallow. Girls will refuse to date a guy if he shorter than her when she is wearing high heals, has lost hair, dosn’t make atleast x amount of dollars, etc.
It’s easier for you women to get inshape than for me to grow taller.
April 1st, 2010 at 3:14 am
You men who commented on this totally gross me out! No wonder most of you are 40 and still single… you have no respect for women! Men like to eat am I right? Well so do women, so what gives you the right to call women fatties and pigs… can we say superbowl parties…. Women like to eat just as much as men… sad thing is that women have to starve themselves just for you stupid men! Life is not all about sex! And let me say this… if you get a skinny girl pregnant… well she aint gonna be so skinny anymore!!!!!!!!!!

Larger women may be normal but normal is not good. Two thirds US population is over weight by medical standards. One third is obese. This shortens life and causes many medical problems and increases risk for many diseases. Not to mention low self esteem. Our children are becoming obese because they mimick their parents habits. Stop the denial people and get in shape. I would not date a large women (not talking about a few extra pounds), a smoker, drug user, or an alcoholic – all are choices.

I have to agree with Mike. In fact, there is a lady in New Jersey who weighs 600lbs and she is attempting to put on another 400lbs in 2 years.
Her reason: She wants to be the worlds fattest female.
Her name is Donna Simpson. Google “600lb lady” if you want to read more about her.

reese fat ugly w****s like you dervseve to die your worthless and pathtic so go **** yourslef people say i’m pretty but your not men are so ugly
(edited for language – K)

this is why America won’t change. I hope more Americans like me are still waiting for ppl to understand that obesity is not a good thing and deserves to be frowned upon. Healthy skinny girls are beautiful even without any help from media or porn. They simply don’t have to see the doctor as much and actually looks good to the eye.

I have to say that men who just look at women for there bodies are disgusting! When I met my husband, I was a size 2 and I am 5’10′ and a former model. However, I have PCOS and Thyroid disease which have both put weight on me(now a size 12) and make it nearly impossible to lose weight. My husband is still very much in love with me and my body! I am fortunate to have found somebody who is going to love me no matter what my body looks like because it would suck to have to try to find love in a world where men demand for women to look a certain way instead of accepting who they are and falling in love with their personalities.

asian women is GODS answer for what american women have become

im 20 artical is true but it gets deeper than that simply put any relationship starts with attraction then moves on to attitude and personality. and i told my fiancee to gain weight.
May 29th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Who wrote this crap? I hope you don’t write more. You really suck. Also, I’m a man….but your writeup is sad. Like an obese virgin with no sense…

As a tall, thin, FIT woman I am completely disgusted by this article (and most of the lame comments). Obviously the author relates to number 8 on this ridiculous list… 40 something, balding, probably a little thick around the middle and trying to pick up on girls that could be his daughters. Pathetic. As a 20 something woman, trust me, those thin younger women DON’T want you to hit on them at the club and try to grind on their leg. They probably think it’s funny that you’re even trying.
June 21st, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Obese people is a major modern problem. This list is good, but leaves a lot out as well. Consider the psychological impact of fat girls teasing the thin guys, ignoring them, and so forth. Also, it’s a lot of work to gain muscle, while most women are putting forth zero effort to stay slim. If you are in your ideal weight range, then it shows that you at least care. Now, there’s nothing shallow about what the psyche desires. If a skinny girl is what it’s going to take to get me to orgasm…..why in the fuck would I go after a fat woman? That would be insanity, and any professional in the psychological realm would deem that as unhealthy.

Why do people only talk about extremes anymore?
Is it so hard to NOT focus on either the waif whose only thing that goes into her body is diet pepsi (because the ‘fatty’ soda is not acceptable) and cigarette smoke, with all of her rib-cage-showing-behind-her-none-existant-cleavage grossness, or some disgusting, fat, pale, lifeless blob, with jowls hanging off of every limb, and a lost piece of fried chicken somewhere between the east and southeast wing of her stomach?
God forbid that someone be IN BETWEEN?
That someone just be a healthy weight, and have a healthy relationship with food?
You are part of the cancer that is killing society.
I hope you choke on something

I like skinny/petite women because there very feminine and vulnerable looking, and it feels good to be there man and protecter.

well yes… men do look for the young fertile women to bear their children… cause the main function of a man is to fuck everything, you have to. in the past half of your kids die before adulthood. and women look for a man who can provide (ie good job, organization skills, whatever you think you need to raise your kids etc….), and of course has to be good looking.. she doesnt want fugly children. and viceversa a man doesnt want an ugly girl for the same reason right?
btw, what kind of fat we talking about? the only fat i can say is unacceptable is the 400 pound-wears clothes that dont fit-dines at kfc-rides a scooter everywhere. of course thats just my opinion though, if a person (woman or man, dont forget there are obese men too) looks like that, well fat and ugly pretty much come hand in hand (unless you are blessed with cute features or pull off using alot of makeup) then why does he/she deserve a hot spouse? you dont see and obese man walking around with a babe for a wife, do you? i think more often than not, the women is larger, sometimes ALOT larger than her husband! ive seen it!
dont come on here all pouty because you refuse to date a fat chick… theres plenty of fish in the sea, instead of flaming about fat chicks you could be going out.. it doesnt take much to get a date unless you are a real douchebag, and thats a pretty big fail in life. you could go speed dating, find girls on the internet for gods sake (father is 46 and has had 3 rl girlfriends that he met on the internet).. or hell go to church LOL. women who are that faithful are usually virgins until marriage, and dont care about this sort of stuff. well, at least in my religious experience (LOL).
if you dont give a shit about your appearance or attitude, and you end up looking like hell, then you dont deserve someone who does care about themselves. it takes work to find the right one, and dont cry when you just dont want to work for it.

Try living in the south. Almost everyone has a belly hanging over their pants. News flash. All men are shallow. If we can’t see ourselves having sex with a woman then we are not interested no matter the personality. It’s in our DNA the same way women go after ‘providers.’ Just because someone is single over 40 doesn’t mean there’s some major problem. Contract marriage is just a tradition based (supposedly) on Bronze Age myths anyway. Besides. most married people settle anyway. I know lots of married guys and almost all of them would cheat in a heartbeat. Yeah, we men are dogs.

What this article leaves out is a HUGE in between. People aren’t only skinny or fat.
I myself am twenty four, 5’8 and 145 pounds, perfectly healthy. I don’t consider myself fat OR skinny, but I’m fine. I have dated guys who have been with skinny girls and say that (in the sex department) a little more can bet better. Why not? Ever seen Christina Hendricks on Mad Men? It may just be the 1960′s, but that’s what men loved, and many still do. Men may not be automatically attracted to “fat” girls or “skinny” girls, or maybe they are. But overall, it’s thin, curvy, beautiful, and smart that win the most.
And for those forty something bald guys in this thread who just hunt for sex, GROW UP. Try meeting a girl for her personality, getting into a real relationship, and be nice to her. You’ll have better sex with somebody you love then some stranger anyday, and you’ll be happier too.
