Of course a larger woman will have men 'lining up for her'...because men like to get laid and they tend not to be very discriminatory towards who they have sex with. Would they want a relationship or be seen in public with her? Maybe not. But they'll sure as hell send her a drunk text at 1am asking if she wants to 'hang out'.

A man willing to sleep with you is NOT the same as a man wanting to actually be in a relationship with you, which is a point many men on this forum can't seem to grasp.

As for entitlements, I've met FAR more men who feel they deserve a model than women who feel they deserve a rich guy. It's anecdotal of course, but I hear way more men complaining about 'fatties' and 'uggos' than I've ever heard women complain about poor guys.

Yes, I'll give you that. It's because it's less common for women to just want sex for a man. Some people can't see things from the other POV.

My question is, would you say the opposite is untrue or true? Give reasons. From what I've read/heard.etc it seems the opposite doesn't seem true. Like I said in a previous post, few women these days seem like big fans of the male gender as a whole, just a select few. The average male body is not seen as sexy, whereas a woman who just doesn't eat much can be sexy. Women fawn over men with exceptional physiques yet many say average men just having boring bodies. They tend to woo them through non-physical means. How often are men with average or thinner or slightly chubbier body types held up as being sexy innately, and not as some corny representation of domination/power?

This, of course, is ignoring the elephant in the room which is the idea that women supposedly care less about looks than men. If this is the case, then an average male body should be acceptable as long as he fits her other criteria - confidence, strength.etc. It gets complicated when the appearance of strength is a physical attribute.
Trimac..your my boy...but these last few threads have my scratching my head, what you are saying is simply not true, or at the very least an over-generalization. If women only went for men with 'exceptional' physiques, then most of them would be single, most men do NOT have exceptional physiques, probably 5% of the male population do (if that), so who are they dating?

skinny is not considered average as the average man is not skinny, I don't know what you look like but if you look 'too' skinny then that could be considered a turn off for some women

You make it sound so sketchy...

I dated guys of all shapes and sizes - and I was attracted to all of them. And most of them are married now - so it's not like I was the only woman to ever find them attractive.

I love men in general. I have a preference for men that are thin. Like 5'10-6' 160-175lbs.
