Well? Define skinny. Does every skinny person have an eating disorder? Does everyone on NSG think that? Does every skinny person *appear* to have an eating disorder? Is skinny attractive, despite a completely retarded media telling us so?

Inspired by the "Fat People Are Ugly" thread.

Meh horses for courses!

I do know that ugly people are ugly.

Skinny women are certainly less sexy.

there is a wide range of skinny. I am skinny compared to the general public and yet I pale in comparison to the emo kids who have legs as big around as my wrists (and wear super tight clothes, eeew.)

Skinny People Are Ugly. What do you think?
I think that I must drink cyanide later.

Skinny people are ugly.

Hey, that hurts my feelings. I'm going to go eat a whole tub of ice cream!

There's a line between attractive skinny and ugly skinny. Attractive skinny has room for muscle, ugly skinny is just skin and bones, and whatever eyeballs are made out of.

I think that Peepelonia is wise.

I think we can all agree that fat people are simply unattractive (to normal people, not those fetish freaks...ewwwww :eek:)

:rolleyes: Skinny's okay, as long as it's not supermodel skinny.

I'm ugly and I'm skinny. I hate the way I can see all of the bones poking out and stuff, but I like that I feel skinny.

i think people with ugly faces and/or ugly minds are ugly. body shape doesn't really come into it except at the very extremes.

I think that hateful people are ugly, no matter what the outside looks like. If looks are all you use to judge a person -- sad.

Skinny can be attractive. If it's twiggish, or rib-showing, nah.

I hate the annorexic look, I hate the see all bones and have no figure look....
So yes, skinny is ugly to me :P

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Man, I'm the hottest chick there is and I'm probably what you'd describe as skinny.

So kiss my small, well-shaped ass.

:rolleyes: Skinny's okay, as long as it's not supermodel skinny.
Actually, aren't supermodels usually normal? Runway models are super skinny.

what ARE eyeballs made out of?

what ARE eyeballs made out of?
Water. Hyaluronic acid. Some collagen, glycosaminoglycans.

It's like your good ol' Jell-O.

I think that hateful people are ugly, no matter what the outside looks like. If looks are all you use to judge a person -- sad.

I agree, but I do get annoyed at the people who try to imply, "If you even consider looks at all when it comes to dating/whatever, you are a terrible, terrible person. You sick bastard."

Not that it's common, but I've come across people who seem to think that.

Clearly, very thin people are just as ugly as very fat people. On the whole I don't really care as long as they are not in the extremes.

I really despise the pro-anorexia groups that promote it like some kind of healthy lifestyle. Its just damaging and harmful to the people involved. Thin is good, but telling people to make themselves not eat or be sick after eating is just awful.

Words from an old song.

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.

Here's the problem:

But looks are what you use to judge whether someone is physically attractive or not, I thought.

Totally. I don't understand how people could do that to themselves.

My opinion? Anorexic is both unhealthy and ugly. Starving yourself as just plain stupid. But not every thin person is anorexic. Some of them just have fast metabolisms. In my youth, I was about 20 pounds underweight, and I guarantee I didn't have an "eating disorder" unless you call scarfing down food like a human buzzsaw a disorder. Too bad I didn't keep that metabolism into my older age. :(

Here's the problem: <snippety snip>

Well said.

That said, give me pear-shaped any day of the week. Starving yourself is not the way to get yourself a man. It's horrendous-looking.

So kiss my small, well-shaped ass.

Your language certainly is interesting.:rolleyes::p

What turns me off are obese women (such jiggling. Such horrible, horrible jiggling. :( The jiggling scares me) and women that are so skinny, they looked like they just survived the Holocaust in a concentration camp. I want a woman that isn't afraid to eat a burger. I also want a woman that won't eat the whole freak'n cow in one meal.

Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Alcohol makes ugly women look hot and hot women look even hotter. Sometimes, there's something extra in the beer that makes women look different. Sometimes, the mystery ingredient makes them look like little furry foxies. :p I like foxies. So cute and cuddly, like a teddy bear with rabies.

Define "skinny." Anorexic people are ugly yes, but that's just kind of the far extreme end of skinny. My friend is skinny (through no fault of her own, she's constantly trying to keep her weight up, but she just burns energy really fast I guess), but she's quite pretty.

I prefer women that look like women, rather than like 12-year-old boys. But that's just me, I'm wierd like that.

I don't use someone's weight as the sole determiner of their attractiveness. I have seen ugly skinny people, I have seen ugly average people, and ugly fat people. I have even seen really horrendously ugly athletes.

Indeed. It's not all about body... one's face determines a lot more than the thinking behind this thread and the "fat people are ugly" thread would lead one to believe.

QFT.

I felt that my body was ugly when I was overly skinny and I had no definition to my muscles. Now that I am older and have a little gut (which I am whittling away at) but good definition from exercise, I feel better about my body. I dunno what to do about my face though. :p


I certainly am not physically attracted to anyone who is too skinny or too fat but I am lenient with a wide range of body types. It's really a persons insides that count though. A potential partner must have a functioning heart and lungs.

What about 12-year old boys that look like women? >_> *still remembers what he looks like when he was twelve*

I'm skinny and incredibly good-looking. Your hypothesis is wrong!

Sans Amour's Opinion:

I love it when a well planned thread inspired by another comes together.

I think as long as it is healthy, no it's not ugly. If you mean someone who is naturally 5'8" and in her twenties trying to fit into a girl's size thirteen, yes it is very nasty to me. When I see that, here is what I find myself thinking until I break my stare:

For crying out, get a burger, a twelve inch sandwich, no... A WHOLE PIZZA and put some weight on your body! There are adult sizes after all...

I don't use someone's weight as the sole determiner of their attractiveness. I have seen ugly skinny people, I have seen ugly average people, and ugly fat people. I have even seen really horrendously ugly athletes.

i've got to say i can't think of a single attractive athlete. unless tieri henri counts as an athlete? he doesn't do athletics (professionally) so i don't reckon he does.

My thinness is only one facet of my unattractiveness. I don't mind it, though, but other people seem to.

No, that's just weird. ;)

ROTFLMFAO!

I think men are ugly.

I'm ugly and I'm skinny.

LIES!!!

Actually for me the number one thing is a good smile. A woman can raise her looks by at least 4 points if she has a great smile. Way back when, that was the one thing I insisted on.

skinny people, fat people, ...

anything that doesn't have fur, pointy ears and a tail, is at least a little bit ugly, unless it has feathers or scales.

er, anything alive that is, and of course the remains of life forms, although a nice chunck of something to eat usually looks pretty good.

=^^=

There's still quite a degree of fitness in football, and yes, he is attractive. Take someone like the tennis player Maurismo, now she is ugly.

Im skinny and ugly...
Im also about 1m 90 so I guess that helps... no one likes looking up at me all the time :rolleyes:

Skinny people are good looking.

It all depends.
But, there are more attractive skinny women than attractive fat women.
And, many skinny women are skinny because they are usually the tall ones.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
...right next to the death ray.

Hooray for being skinny.

Or, you know, not. It's shit.

This is Rotovia's fiance, who's account continually gets neglected and deleted...


There was a "Fat People are Ugly" thread? PC has totally gone out the metaphorical window!

Okay... "Define 'skinny'"... "Beauty's on the inside..." "Beauty is subjective..." Etc... But personally I think:

An unhealthily skinny person isn't attractive. Unhealthy isn't attractive, full-stop. Everyone probably knows where I stand on the "skinny debate", but as a young and admittedly "curvy" woman (who once suffered from a serious eating disorder), I am morally against the current media's apparent obsession with near-skeletal figures.

I don't think it's fair to call anyone "ugly", but, I do admit that I find "skinny" figures on men very unappealling. Rib bones aren't exactly my idea of sexy. I also find "skinny" women unattractive. Sexy women have hips, tits and ass.

there is a wide range of skinny. I am skinny compared to the general public and yet I pale in comparison to the emo kids who have legs as big around as my wrists (and wear super tight clothes, eeew.)

Fuck you. I'm 6' 4", I weigh 11 stone, and I'm more attractive than you could ever be.

I like skinny.

But I like people that are happy with themselves, more.

Ok. At this point I'm not sure if I'm ugly or not.

What? She's cute.

I like the way you think ;)

I think thin people are attractive. But the way I understand the word "skinny", that is to say "only skin on the bones", then yeah, I agree skinny is unattractive.

Just like I can find some people with a slight amount of fat attractive, but morbidly obese people turn me off.

I guess I find healthy looking people attractive, no matter that their natural state is thin or a bit heavyset. If you're a bit fleshy naturally, or if you stay thin despite eating to your heart's content, it's all good. If you drink 20 liters of soft drinks a day or make yourself puke after every salad in fear the dressing might make you fat, then you likely won't be attractive to me.

But yeah, usually more partial to thin people, being thin myself, but like I said I've found quite a few chubby persons to be quite the lookers.

Skinny women are certainly less sexy.

how about skinny women with nice T&A?

It depends how skinny. If some is really skinny where you can see thier bones, then yes it's unattractive. But if someones morbidly obese, then it's also unattractive. A nice healthy figure is attractive. You can be heathly on the heavy side and be attrative, or you can be healthy ib the kinny side and be attractive.

I think I'm skinny on the healthy side, and thats not bad.

I prefer women that look like women, rather than like 12-year-old boys. But that's just me, I'm wierd like that.

Actually, aren't supermodels usually normal? Runway models are super skinny.
The "supermodels", ie: Elle, Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss...aren't "normal". They are still thinner than the average women is today, and thinner than the average woman was when the supermodel phenomenon began. That being said, the most famous runway models (Gemma Ward, Adriana Lima, Jessica Stam, Chanel Iman and more) are skinnier than the "supermodels". That doesn't make Kate Moss "normal"!

Totally. I don't understand how people could do that to themselves.
It's absolute hell.

-Amor Pulchritudo (rotovia's fiance)

Both fat and extremely skinny people are unattractive.

However, the skinny ones take a lot less space and are a lot less noticeable, which makes them total win.

From the practical standpoint, I'm all for skinny people. Isn't it great when the same person consumes less resources, needs a smaller car, et cetera?

Twiggy isn't ugly.

http://www.fiftiesweb.com/fashion/twiggy-b.jpg

I remember when Twiggy first hit the scene. All but those who followed "high Fashion" were totally turned off by her. Who wants a woman with nothing to fill out a dress? In later years she gained weight and became more attractive. Unfortunately, that also cost her the career in "high fashion". She did do some acting later.

I really don't know anyone that thinks "high fashion" designs are important or appealing. Of course, I'm a country boy and only real women appeal to me. No plastic skin or personality.

Told ya. Although my body type isn't at all like the woman in the picture you just posted...

Perhaps not, but I'd still hit it. One doesn't have to have a certain body type to be hawt.

Here's the problem:

Right. What I wonder, though: Isn't that picture supposed to be telling us "Look at the anorexic barely human-shaped woman on the left, and then try to understand that part of her eating disorder is that she'll see herself as overweight, i.e. like what we see in the mirror reflexion"?
Well, if so, then I have to admit that I don't consider what I see in the mirror reflexion to be "overweight". I mean, it's not in the lower part of the normal-weight scale, but do people really think this is overweight? That'd be interesting to know, especially in the light of the Fat=Ugly? thread.

I don't consider that overweight.

And I'd do her.

I'm with you on this one, a little something to grab onto always puts a smile on my face. Weird, nah I don't think so. There is just so many of us who subscribe to whatever we're told that we think everyone needs to be beautiful, when in fact very few of us are.

Perhaps not, but I'd still hit it. One doesn't have to have a certain body type to be hawt.
Then don't rag on girls who "look like 12 year old boys".

See, I don't get why it is that in order to be like "fat chicks are ok" everyone has to go about putting down skinny girls at the same time. It's like this one site I found where this short woman wrote an essay that just went on and on about how it must suck to be tall and how being short automatically made you cute.

Yeah that's lame. The whole idea of blanket attraction for any "type" is silly to me. I'm not a manslut, but "my type" isn't this-and-this-and-this, it's mainly any girl I'm attracted to and interested in pursuing.

Tall chicks, short chicks, skinny chicks, fat chicks. I'm not particular when it comes to generalities.

Depends on what you consider skinny. I'm sure some people think what I see as skinny is chubby. However I do think that the whole anorexic thing is ugly. I know I'm skinny, but there's nothing I can do about it. It's not like I don't eat. In fact i eat quite a lot.
