      Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... but, for me, only if I can hold 'er.

      Athletic does it for me!

        It's not the package the present comes in that makes the present special.

        Sexy is a term that basically is used to say that one is attrative to someone else and is usually a combination of more than one quality. I myself put intelligence,humor,confidence and the ability to get along with others ahead of beauty or other physical attributes.

          Why did people neg you for that comment? I've always thought that as long as a woman has distractingly big boobs, a few extra pounds go unnoticed. Have you heard the old saying about a woman with a few extra pounds, "I won't hold it against her if she'll hold it against me."

            Big women can be beautiful and sexy, fat women cannot. Once you get yourself 2 pairs of love handles and your belly sticks out further than your boobs, you cannot be beautiful and sexy. I don't consider skinny as being beautiful or sexy either. My kind of beautiful woman is more like Catherine Zeta-Jones. She is neither skinny nor fat.

              Oprah is one of those types who looks great at any size. Maybe that's why she never stays the same?

                I am a thick "WOMAN" and I believe that i am sexy in my own way. In todays' world if you are over 160 pounds you are considers big or over weight and in a mans eye it may be thickness and they actually like it. I believe its the way you carry yourself. If you are not wearing clothes that are 2 sizes too small for you and your stomach is not hanging over your pants in clear view for every one to see you may be a "sexy big girl". If you present yourself properly than you can be VERY SEXY...Coming from a thick woman, I know

                  Welll according to me, being beautiful and sexy does not depend on a single factor like being big or small. It depends on lot of other factors like how you carry yourself, how you speak, how you exhibit your emotions, the way you dress, the inner quality in you etc etc.

                    Heh...I'm all for curves and healthy bodies and what not, but all this talk about "big is sexy" is more often than not an attempt to help fat people feel ok about themselves. If you're fat you should not feel good about yourself. If you're naturally thick and curvy then I'm fine with it. But if you're thick or overweight because ya never exercise or restrain yourself in the presence of food, then I have no sympathy! Bigger is better if bigger doesn't equal fat, lazy, and gluttonous. That sounded kinda harsh. I don't care.

                      Sure, BBWs are sexy, too... generally speaking.

                      Beauty, in terms of physique, is almost universally determined in one part by BMI, and in body ratios, notable waist to hip and chest ratios.

                      Biological psychology has shown us that women are sexy at a hips-waist-chest ratio roughly identical to the ratio displayed by all Playboy centerfolds - but definitely not according to weight. A woman could be up to around a BMI of about 35 and still be called sexy, if she had this same body ratio. Around the BMI cut off for clinically obese was where large women lose any notion of sexy.

                      These studies also proved that men don't want the skinniest... they want the most average. That's the best social insurance of nobody stealing their mate.

                      While the attractiveness of women is indeed universal, different cultures have different values on weight. Western societies have ready and easy access to healthy food, and don't need to binge to store food bodily, like other cultures do.

                          Often times sexy is more an attitude than just a look. There are however, some limitations on this.

                              "Size doesn't matter"

                              you can be curvy and still be sexy as long you have your curves in the right places. but you have to have good self-esteem and of course the ability to get along with everybody. nobody likes the skinny bittch with her bittchy attitude.

                                Surely, every woman can be attractive in her way. It very much a question of self-confidence. But in reality, we seem to live in a size-zero-world. Eating with fun or even passion seems to be the greatest "sin" one could confess. Look at all these thin business women and you will learn, women with curves still have to look for their place (and sometimes fight for it)!

                                  that is how the media wants you to believe sexy looks, size zero and zero zero, Marilyn Monroe was curvy in today's standards.

                                    I am sorry but fat is disgusting!! You can smooth it all you want and be in total denial about it and your still a fat ass. real people respect themselves and live a healthy life of not being fat. Your a menace to real society and donut shops everywhere. Get your fat ass out and workout! I am tired of hearing all these "genetics and diseases" associated with being fat... yeah its called hand to mouth disease!!!

                                    quit eating all that junk food, fast food and soda!!

                                        Lets be honest here, what does north America know about sexy female bodies? Our women are programed to eat to cheer themselves up or exercise to that hard body that gets ride of every sign of femininity so that the need to go get chest and butt implants and then look like a total fool. Note to women most men don't find hard muscles or bread dough sexy, implants look and feel as fake as the are. Be yourselves and we will love you and desire you for yourself. Within a month of marrying my wife of twenty years I met her seventy year old great aunt Grace, an rather direct English lady whom I had never met before. Her pearls of wisdom for the young man who married her niece were simple but very true. Even though I had just married a young beauty after some years and a few kids her breasts would drop and hang down and she would have roles where no woman should, she would look tired and have grey hair and wrinkly skin I should never stop loving her. cont
