I've notice many white women with the wide waist/hip bone. Such as the beautiful woman above. I have seen this very waist on women half her size.
The woman in the Red shirt (possible on a game show) has a really nice frame. I suppose you could call this a latin body type. I look at this more Midwest american body type! Her frame would look good on a size 6 or 12.
Possibly I like the Cartoonish Hips/Thighs; I like them Beyound average but not Beyound the doorway.
Orangeapple, great post!
You know, just your stereotypical 30+ woman who eats. Sometimes I think they get the way I like all on accident. I grew into this look that makes me drool at an older age. I used to like Pamela Anderson type builds (which I still do) but realized I'm just dreaming. Women like these^^ are GOING TO HAPPEN.

Yes, anyone thinner than a size 12 must be starving themselves.
Honestly...I think this is one of the best body types to have. She has womanly features but is far from fat.
Far? She has a great body shape, absolutely, but she definitely is carrying extra fat. Not to say she isn't attractive (fat does not necessarily equal ugly), but I'd bet her body fat percentage puts her in the overweight category.

Maybe a little bottom-heavy, but not fat. Despite what body fat percentage might say, she looks good in her clothes. I'd call her 'curvy'...MAYBE slightly pudgy in the leg area...but not anything close to fat/overweight. That said, she's probably at a greater risk of gaining weight if she isn't careful.

No, you know what I mean. I can tell too. I'm not impressed when they waste 2/3rds of what I bought them. Eat up, I'm paying!

I like medium to "that/this" VVV. Everything in between is mighty fine too. By medium I mean Pamela Anderson, Carmen Electra etc.. I'd call you medium too... Nice!

I showed one of my friends that picture and he said 'too short, and waaaay too fat'. The other 3 guys I'm with agreed. I honestly think guys that like that type are in the minority and most want very slim/slender and petite.
Someone was talking about pressure men put on women... I agree that men have much more unrealistic standards than the fashion industry or the general media. The latter simply require thinness & being toned. Well hey, at least dieting & working out can bring many women somewhat closer to this. There are lots of healthy women who maintain a size 0-8 body without any extreme measures (and those larger than this are often accepted as within this ideal as long as they have a defined waist & aren't flabby).
Men, however, seem to want generally slender & petite/average height women with cartoonishly HUGE boobs & butts/hips (in proportion to the rest of their body). This is impossible for most women outside of surgery (witness Kim Kardasian, who looks like she was cooked up in a laboratory run by Maxim or FHM magazine). Most women don't have hourglass bodies (including those plumper, plus-sized & even obese ones who go around calling themselves curvy), and even the curvy-on-the-bottom pears & busty-on-top cones/apples are rarer than the banana/ruler shape (which, IMO, is often a very well-proportioned body type, just not exaggeratedly feminine).
You can generally control weight & muscle gain, but you can't really control how body fat is distributed, so that is why I find the male ideal much more unrealistic & narrow. I think Scarlett Johannseen (in her hey-day anyway), Salma Hayek, and Christina Hendricks (oft mentioned "ideal" women) are far from possessing common body types (although Hendricks is probably not so curvy without her girdle...and I'd argue that Salma & Scarlett probably have breast implants). To get those bodies, you either have to have won the genetic lottery in terms of fat distribution or have surgery.
While VS models are quite popular with many men, true, many also don't realize that these models are only busty when wearing the VS bras that have 5 inches of padding (AND worn with chicken cutlets). They also twist their bodies to exaggerate their hip/waist ratio & stick out their butts to look plumper in that area.
Curvy to these men tends to mean "relatively busty", especially with a defined waist, whether thin or not. I DO think these women look great in candid photos too (where they are significantly less busty), but then, there, they are more of the woman's ideal (long, lean, but with a feminine shape, albeit not a cartoonish one). For another example, Kate Upton is truly busty, but the rest of her body is rather straight & shapeless, yet I've seen most men call her "curvy", which further supports that curvy often just means big boobs on a slender frame.
Of course, this brings up the fact that male terminology for body types is dramatically different from the typical meanings women attach. It's also a matter of perception, involving the people's perception of themselves too. I've been called everything from beanpole & bony to slender & curvy, with the former coming from a tall, stocky guy & the latter coming from a short, slim guy. My ex once even said I had thick thighs (& many women would scoff at this if they saw they saw my size 2 thighs which do not touch), which are fightin' words to many a woman, but apparently a compliment from a man...
Being taller than average definitely will definitely get you attention (being out of the ordinary in anyway generally does)....whether that means those noticing want to date you is another story though. I'm only barely on the tall side in the US at 5'8, and I've always been pleased with my height (because clothes LOVE me), but I can't deny that it's likely been a turn-off to men when it comes to dating. I see the facial expressions change when they stand beside me & I'm at their eye level in heels, when a moment ago, across the room, I looked appealing. Although it too gets attention, being thinner than average is probably a turn-off as well. My body type is ideal or admirable to a lot of women though (because they have told me so), but probably not the male ideal if you listen to their descriptions. I'm far too thin & just slightly too tall for most, unless of course, their terminology really means that slim and curvy VS model "illusion" and not something closer to Salma Hayek or Scarlett Johanssen.
I absolutely agree with the bolded. and not for nothing, most of the women with those large breasts that are real, are not the best looking set of boobs like those celebs you mentioned who have theirs all perfect or whatever. rarely do those women with the largest boos have everything else in perfect proportion like the celebs ala kim kardashian, Scarlett. But apparently the men think they are creating cartoon characters out of real women. good luck with that.
Thin waist, nice little curves but not too much and a C cup. Bam, I'd be a happy camper.
