So the other day I was on facebook and I came across this picture from a magazine that said "78% of men would rather date a confident plus size woman than an insecure super-model" I then went and put on my instagram (@thickgrlscloset) and my tumblr. The feedback started out on a positive note, but lately I've been seeing some of the comments and opinions of both men and women alike and I'm a little bothered. Please don't get me wrong your opinion is your opinion and I'm not here to change that. But this is how I feel.
I believe the purpose of what was said was not say "ok its cool for you to be fat" but rather, a reminder that a man is not looking at just your body, but the way in which you carry yourself. Like why can't folks just take it for what it is? I mean lets be real I can't stand an insecure female, especially a curvy women that's insecure. It just bothers me. And I know that if I can't stand that type of female, no man can. No dude wants to talk to, date, sleep with, or deal with woman that has no confidence in herself regardless of her body size. Even the worse male chauvinist would get fed up with her insecurities.
I think too many people are looking at the negative side. I can't tell you how many girls say men don't like thick/curvy/plus size women. But when we hear that there are men out there who actually care, we get bent out of shape. I'm not saying that we have live and die but this random statistic but when I read it for the first time I had to flip my hair one good time and hit my Tyra Banks walk cause I felt like "hell yea" lol( OK maybe that's just me)
The point of what was said...is simple. Men want a confident woman. To them that is sexier that whether or not she can shop in the main line at Forever 21. Maybe you have a different POV let me know

YES!! Your last point summed it all up for me. AND, to those people out there who THINK that men don't prefer a plus sized woman, I need them to take a second and think again. WE are out here… married, in committed relationships, single & mingling and HAPPY!!
ReplyDeleteWhat I get from the title is that 1) Men like confidence & 2) men like a bit of meat on the bones. What I think the point of the title was that confidence is key especially when it says men always want to keep the lights on. Regardless men are men. They like what they like. It is what it is.
ReplyDeleteI am plus size and my fiance is skinny. He never dated many plus size women before me but he was drawn to my confidence and style. No matter what a man is "typically" attracted to the right woman can make him change his preference.
ReplyDeletewhat the girls were saying prior, men like confidence,its not about how you look but how you carry yourself! if you believe you're beautiful so will a man. men go for girls that ALREADY know their the bomb, not some self conscious over zealous female whether she's skinny or plus size. I think its the same for guys too, BIG GUYS who have all the self confidence in the world are charmers lol! its all how you look at yourself from the inside out.
