Actually, most of the guys I know hate to see bones! I'm finally getting comfortable with my curves after my guy friends talking about liking women to have some meat on their bones, and also seeing it on talk shows. Heck, I even find women more attractive who look like they have a donut every now and then. Sure, society likes to plaster the unhealthy looking skinny ones all over the place, but they are making changes.....kicking out models who are too skinny. There's actually two "plus size" models on America's Next Top Model right now. And Tyra Banks has let herself gain about 20 pounds.

It also goes back to natural selection. Women with curves have an easier time with childbirth. So natural selection has them get "picked" by males for childbirth. I have the perfect body for babies, I just don't plan on having any lol.

I guess my point is this -- we shouldn't try to live up to the standards of the media. The media is not the deciding factor in what men and women want. Sex sells, thats why all the women, and men on tv and magazines and super skinny.

I'm getting off topic here.....I know for me, I find curvy women more attractive. And I like my men to have a little bit of a teddy bear feel when I hug them, so it doesn't feel like I'm hugging the skeleton hanging in biology class, lol.
