    Oh yes. Too thin looks awful. Speaking from the male end of the spectrum...

    Nope...

    There was a programme on once about anorexic women. Their bodies turned my stomach. Fat women have never done that.

    I think if people look in proportion it doesn't matter whether they are fat or thin. I have a friend who is a good size 18, she is 5' 8" and boys flock around her. she is confident has great hair, skin stc. she dresses well, has a few wobbly bits and two larger assets and no intention of losing weight. I don't remember ever seeing her conventionally slim, and i suppose BMI would class her as being obese, but there is nothing about her which would suggest so.her latest boyfirend is also a fitness instructer, they have been together for a while now and all his mates reckon he's a lucky chap.

    but anorexic is just the end of the scale... lets say a woman's ideal weight is x kilograms. If the woman is x-10k, you find her more attractive, than if she's x+10kg... not?

    Usually no. Because usually X-10Kg = |. .|
    whilst X+10Kg = (o) (o)
