What guy looks at a girls arms--ARMS--and then decides if she's worthy of dating. I don't even think guys realize we have arms, unless there's hair on them

Well, since this thread has been resurrected, I doubt any guy is ever going to say- "That srjth is really hot, but her arms are just too dang skinny!"

I don't like skinny arms, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them a "turn off" (and I'd imagine most guys feel the same...I don't know any that feel that strongly about arms).

As for musculature; it's a common perception among women that if they pick up a dumbbell, they'll instantly turn into the Hulk. It takes a LOT of work to put on muscle...and you'd notice if you were getting too big long before you'd actually end up getting there. It's like a guy fearing that he'll drop to 10% body fat if he cuts out beer for a month...change just isn't that easy in either direction.

Luckily for you, even if you are considered on the thinner side, it's not likely to be a deal breaker to many guys at all. I'd say less than 10%, unless they tell you you are skeletal thin (which you definitely aren't based on your pic). I am near skeletal thin, but do have some muscles and mild definition in the abs, but I doubt it's enough to keep it from being a dealbreaker because so many women are traditional which means the men have to have the muscles.

No, not at all for me. I personally like small petite girls with skinny arms. My current girlfriend weighs 95 pounds.

It's a common myth among women that doing curls will get them huge muscles. Spending some time lifting weights is good and will put a little size to your arms. I assure you, you're not going to look like a body builder.

The only ways arms would be a turn-off to me are if they were so skinny that they looked gaunt, or if they're large and flabby (large and toned is perfectly fine, though).
