C'mon. Give me it straight!
Finely toned perfection is not on offer.

Of course, then I *do* take them home and feed them loads of hot meals, and then they're not so skinny any more, which kind of defeats the point.
I would, however, rather have a round man than one of those muscle-bound horrors. Muscles and the whole "I can't put my arms down cause my neck is the size of a bull's" look really disgust me. I like unhealthy looking men.

Though in fact I've only ever met one woman who's expressed a preference for 'roundish' men. Luckily for me I'm going out with her.

I had a friend who said she liked men whose hip bones fit in between hers i.e. skinny men. I cannot get this skinny man thing. I mean if I go out with a skinny man a) I might break him and b) when we are together he will make me look fatter. And c) when we are, ahem, at it, his boney bones will stick in me and it will hurt in a bad way.
But I'm not really into fat men either. Maybe this great pickiness explains my singleness.

But anyway... I used to be very round, and now I'm very skinny. I used to get abuse for being very round, and now I get abuse for being very skinny. My secretary today, seeing my coughing and wheezing and trying to make my trousers fit me properly immediately declared I need to eat red meat and chips. Hmmmm.
So there's no ideal! I would point out, though, that if you become too skinny you have problems with hipbones and bruising. I'm not saying anymore...!
Curiously, I often wear clothes to emphasise the fact that I'm skinny. Anyone who's seen me in tight flares and skinny fit shirts will know what I mean.

So three cheers for the "roundish" man!

Once dated someone as skinny as I. We were like two beanpoles. And sex just resulted in bones banging together, bruises, and so on.

Of course, I totally understand the comments about 1) skinny guys appearing a little fragile and 2) big girls (and by implication, boys) assuming that no one could ever find them attractive.
― J-Lu, Thursday, 19 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)
Oh, and the two skinny people was me and a girl... the hip-clashing probably wouldn't be as much of an issue if it was me and a boy. Or me and a more sexually adventurous girl... Or a girl and a more sexually adventurous me. Hmmmm...!
OK, that was more than ANY of you wanted to know...

Skinny-framed family, currently the heaviest of the lot, though not horribly so (I hope!). One of those things I can beat into shape if I diet right, as I've done it before, but I like food too much. Whenever I worry about my waist, I consider some of the folks I see around the campus here and stop fretting. I also sing the utterly brilliant song by Ashtray Boy "Paunch" to myself, as should you all. ;-)
Anyway, *I* hold myself well, Jane also frets a bit on her end but *she* holds herself very well indeed, so screw everyone else, we're happy. ;-)

As a side issue, I like the idea of all these so-called skinnyboy-lovers averting their eyes and blubbing 'No - that's TOO SKINNY'. Pete, perhaps you hadn't noticed you had a tube train stuck to your arse?

I have never in my life said that any boy was too skinny. (I mean, Posh Spice? Yes, too skinny. But boys? No.) Oh wait, no, maybe once, it was a quite early picture of Vini Rielly (sp?) from Durutti Column and I could actually see the veins in his arms he was so thin. That was a bit disturbing.
