In my humble opinion, I would just say that thinner, shorter women look good with small breasts; and heavy set or tall women look nice with large breasts.

I like short women with huge breasts. :biggrin:

Someone like Milena Velba, for example, has very beautiful bosoms; but she doesn't necessarily have as nice a hips as my boss does (and yes my boss is very lovely, I think, with her wide hips).

Wow, someone here knows about her! Milena Velba is absolutely beautiful, in my oppinion! And in addition to all, she's german, so she is sexy when she speaks, too! :!) :cool:

I personally have a hard time separating the concept of physical beauty with that of personal beauty. That is to say, if I find someone to be a horrible person, I can't find them attractive.

So what ? Still not an excuse to be fat. Never blame it on hormones and wider bones. Blame it on the insanely huge quantities of food they eat.

So, basically, what I'm getting here is, you're a chubby chaser. It's ok man. To each his own.

It will be a cold day in hell when you'll see me with a fat woman. I am doing my best to maintain my body, so they can at least do the same. It's self respect.

I second that.

Never felt this. I can't find anything attractive in a lot of women. Wonderful eyes, as you say, on a sub par face won't do anything for attraction.
Ahhh...you say that...but then one day you fall in love with a woman you had absolutely no attraction to beforehand--it happens, believe me--and then you start noticing everything.

Real, sincere happiness makes a person beautiful. Hostile individuals tend to take less care with their appearance also.

Well, that is in keeping with my theory: straight guys are attracted to distinctions; and a lady such as this would be distinct in two fashions then.

Now that you mention it: accents are very charming as well; and German accents in particular (not sure why, considering German is not considered a "romance" language by itself). I love a Swiss German accent in particular. I also think Amish women are cute (yeah, I know I'm a weirdo).

Well, certainly if someone has done something awful to you, in can be hard to see the good in them, in any respect. But sometimes in movie and on television, the villains are quiet attractive.

Have you seen Jewel DeNyle in "Amish daughters" ?

No. And I'm guessing I probably shouldn't either. I don't like anything fake.

Heavy but well proportioned. I hate women that can pack on the pounds yet still remain proportional. Any weight I gain goes straight to the waistline, no where else.

Sorry. :redface: If it's any consolation, it makes it really hard to buy clothes. Clothing manufacturers seem to assume that everyone gains weight in the middle, so when I shop for pants, I end up finding a lot that fit through the hips and butt, but are huge in the waist.

My preferences are for the short, slightly stocky guys. I've been attracted to a few taller guys too, but they also were fairly muscular all over. No chicken legs for me, and thin isn't at all attractive to me physically. As others said early in the thread, if there are other things attractive about a person, you begin to overlook the physical appearances if they aren't quite what normally attracts you. I've dated a couple skinny guys, and did grow to find them more physically attractive with time, but can definitely say it wasn't their looks that attracted me to them.
