In the nude! what do you think?

[Andybill]

I like women. Simple as that. My wife is probably IFBB quality as far as fitness goes and her body type. She is FIT! And a fitness fanatic. But she does pageants too. I like a woman who is comfortable with herself and is confident but not conceited. Confidence is sexy. But the important part is that a lady takes care of herself. I dont like a woman who cakes her face in make up. Every woman should only go light on the make up as too much is not attractive! While I do like em fit I also like some curves and I like em natural. Fake girls are a total turnoff.

Well.. I will give you my honest to to God answer..... It is the same thing I tell both of my pre-teen daughters and pound it into their heads.....

Beauty is not what you look like, but what is inside. I have dated women in my life that run as wide a variance as 6ft tall and 115 lbs, and 5ft tall and 160...... Was one more beautiful than the other.... Not really, they were both beautiful people with amazing personalities.

I understand that this thread is more meaning to discuss phsyical attraction and visual stimuli. That being said I just cant force my self to be attracted one of the "hot model types" if they have crappy attitudes and are just not nice people.

Take it for what you will, I learned a lesson early in life, I dated I probably should have married when I was younger, but my ego screwed that relationship up..... She was a biger girl, close to 6ft and not thin, but not heavy, very attactive. But I didnt stay with her because I thought I could find someone better looking... I have regretted that the rest of my life. We had something special we truly cared about one another and were best friends....That is what is truly beautiful

Haha! Yeah I tell her that when I need a vacation I go swimming in her eyes! They are like tropical waters man! Kinda cheesy, I know, but it works well for me

But on more of the topic she was not so fit when I got with her 6 years ago. But she was still smokin hot! Curvy with some meat on her. But when we both joined the Marines she became a fitness fanatic.

I really like how this devolved quite quickly into guys saying what they like appearance wise in a woman. Very good way to make women who don't meet the general "like" of curvy, feel insecure about themselves.

As a 40 something wife and mother and woman I will try and enter this conversation.

I despise general media and their portrayal of women in general. According to them, only skinny blonde, blue eyed women with giant fake breasts and pouty lips that have nasty attitudes and chase after old rich men are acceptable. It's disgusting. All day long you are bombarded with so-called reality shows filled with fake women who scream obscenities and throw things at one another. With women who lie, cheat, steal and sleep with anything that has boy parts. And people watch this garbage. They must or there wouldn't be so many of them on. Young girls are taught that you must be mean, selfish, rude and dress like a slut to be acceptable. I fight it with my own daughter every day.

I find most men, most real-life men anyway, are not attracted to this type of girl at all. Now I am not attractive, not by a long shot. I've never thought of myself as pretty. I've been rather heavy most of my life, and now I am fat. I don't deny it. I never understood what my husband saw in me when we met. But, I must have something going for me because I still get a flirt now and then. Makes me feel good. And I will tell you a secret. On the day of my wedding, I was getting ready to leave. I had my dress on, my hair fixed, a little bit of makeup, and when I looked in the mirror I saw something incredible. I was beautiful. I don't mean pretty, I mean beautiful. I couldn't believe it, but on that one day the ugly duckling became a swan.

I find it sad that so many pretty girls don't think they are worthwhile because they don't live up to the unrealistic things they see on TV and in magazines, billboards and in movies. It's a sad comment on the state of our lives when our children feel worthless if they are polite, respectful and dress tactfully.

Maybe I don't expose myself to enough social media to get all fired up about what they are showing celebs doing etc...I'm sorry, I just don't give 2 poops about what celebs are doing, or wearing, or saying... I make my own decisions on what to wear, how to act, where to eat and how I like my hair.

I agree with every comment you stated haha. Everything I was thinking, but was incapable of wording it in a way that makes sense, is in your reply . I'm just going to add to the quoted section simply to add to it. The shows on TV are getting worse and worse.. I remember when I would watch TV, if you wanted to watch and laugh at stupid people, you would watch shows like Jerry Springer, and the "my 14 year old daughter had sex with 60 men!" Maury specials.. Nowadays, these shows have been replaced with shows like the jersey shore, the hills, or that show about the Kardashians...

They used to ridicule the idiots, and now they pay them so they can record them doing stupid things... There's nobody there to say "THESE PEOPLE ARE IDIOTS.." instead, they end the episodes with "happy endings" where snooki goes back to the club and finally succeeds in bringing a big buff guy to their house...

TV is just going downhill.. People are getting dumber every year in the US.. Kids are STILL extremely impressionable.. I'm not a parent, so I'm not qualified to give advice, but in my opinion, parents need to educate their kids about the media, and how the people who dish out the garbage make their money... My dad gave me the talk about adult content when I was 13 haha. He explained how people on TV or in videos are actors. He made it a point to give me national geographic magazines and DVDs.. He lectured me quite often about the jungles of Peru, the importance of the advancements in medicine, and how unfathomable the size of the universe is.. He convinced me that aliens existed, and that they were probably more super intelligent than humans when I was 9 or 10.. I liked his approach.. Rather than telling me not to do something, he educated me on the consequences...

Wow sorry for the rant.. I just think the power of the media is crazy. That must be why some families don't allow TVs.. Educate your children ... Intelligence boosts confidence.. Women are beautiful creatures. All of you are. Big or small, short or tall..

Haha I think this is what Sissysnakes felt like when she erased her posts .

I like women. I prefer some attributes more than others, but I don't judge much by looks alone.

I often wonder if women wonder why they worry so much about what some people who only want to separate them from their money, tell them about how they look now, how they should look and what they need to buy to look that way.

It's all predicated on sales. Sell a woman makeup so she'll be attractive enough to ....have worth? Because of some paint?

Sell her some dental floss and a couple of postage stamps so she'll be...sexy? Because some clown somewhere says so?

Sell her weightloss programs, food, drugs so she will be able to fit into the dental floss and postage stamps that no woman could ever catch a worthwhile man without...

Hammer her with images, some of which have no basis in reality, none of which are actual live women, slam her with advice from made up foundations and batter her with advice from people who have no business having an opinion much less cramming it down the throats of so many who are so insecure because, and only because, of what they've been told they need to look like by a bunch of rich old men who make money every time an insecure woman buys something she needs to enable her to be the woman a real man wants, not some, to quote one of my favorites, 'some syntho in the hay.'

Ladies, there are men out there who realize that what you see in the media is much akin to what you see on your shoe when you leave the dogpark. Sadly, there are also a great many weeny waggers who have no clue, mostly due to age, stupidity and inexperience, along with simply being male, who have not yet realized that a woman who needs an hour and a half to paint her face and another hour to figure out what she's going to wear just to go out, is probably pretty high maintenance and may be pretty shallow as well. But, what you, ladies, think of yourselves is what's really important. No matter what you look like, if you like yourself, you're attractive to other people.

What we're told, by people whose advice I would never take for any reason, is that A and B and C are the best ways to be and if you're E or F or, heaven forfend, G or I or Q, you'll grow old alone, childless and the laughing stalk of all the beautiful people who wear three pounds of war paint any time they go out in public and dress only in celebrity approved wrappings that no sane person would be caught dead in. These face corporate suckers of cash and souls alike, and indiscriminately, care nothing for you, ladies, but have a great care for how you think. How you think of yourself and how you think of what they sell that they go to great lengths to convince you you need to be happy. It's a bloody shell game.

Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but it starts with the confidence of the beheld. Confidence. If you've got that, you don't really need anything else because you realize that you have within what can't be bought or applied with a putty knife or achieved with seven thousand shades of brown you're constantly told you need to cover up the grey that comes naturally, that actually, usually, brings a beauty along with it. Not being young is OK. No matter what you do or what you buy or how many surgeries you have, you WILL age, you will change. It's going to happen.

I've been pondering this subject for quite a while and will probably address it further sometime in the near future. Back to the point, I like women. Some shapes and sizes I favor more than others, but the inside is always more important than the outside.

[youbeyouibei]

I like women in terms of attraction, regardless of the packaging; attitude is everything and the rest is just bonus.

The media...ha! Where to start with that one?! I think the media is the single greatest threat to children in terms of nearly everything. When a child is inundated with images of scantily clad women with implants from top to bottom along with commercials extolling the virtues of the latest and greatest:_________________ (clothing line/brand, makeup, sports drink, cereal, car, social media site/device, etc.), when do they have time to form their own opinions or to learn what really matters in life? The media is a joke as far as I'm concerned and the parents that buy into that crap and want to be their kids' friend instead of their parent(s) are equally responsible for raising a generation of self-absorbed narcissists who expect an Ipod at 10, a cell phone at 12 and a new car of their choosing at 16, along with any and every possible name-brand item that is the current rage at the time. I'd rather take my kids fishing or help them with a 4-H project or just hang out with them and teach them what it means to be a person rather than plop them down in front of a computer or T.V. and have the media at large raise my child for me.

As to women's empowerment: I'm all for it. I fully support women doing any and every job they're capable of doing and for a fair and competitive salary/wage. If a woman can do the job how it needs to be done, then where's the issue? I can't (and have no desire to!) carry a child. My wife can't write her name in the snow. Biology is what it is but as far as jobs go: so long as the work is getting done in an acceptable manner and to the same level of accuracy that's expected of anyone, the pay should be the same regardless of the plumbing of the person performing the work.

I was watching family guy just now, and Peter went on this little route at the end of the episode:

"Peter Griffin: If you're watching a TV show, and you decide to take your values from that, you're an idiot. Maybe you should take responsibility for what values your kids are getting. Maybe you shouldn't be letting your kids watch certain shows in the first place if you have such a big problem with them, instead of blaming the shows themselves. "

Thought it was a pretty funny coincidence .
