I am a woman who does not consider herself a whale, but I'm no tiny little thing either. I wear nice clothes, do my hair, wear occasional makeup, and I think I am a nice looking woman, not model gorgeous, but pretty. I want to know if women who have curves are attractive or not because I am one.

But patties agrees.
I've seen many women of all shapes and sizes, attractive and unattractive.
They are either single, or with someone who tries to control them because they are overweight. I've seen a fair amount of seemingly satisfying relationships between men and "bigger women" as well. However, I see way more of the before mentioned scenarios than the nicer ones. I just wonder if it's the truth.
Men like that have no one to blame but themselves. Pathetic that they try to make their insecurities someone else's. There is a nice amount of men like that. Honestly, I despise human beings with those traits. They are the ones that give good men bad names.
Now don't get me wrong, it ie not like I go out and see this everyday. I've just seen it happen over the course of a few years.
But hey , my best friend loved bigger girls , he loved them fat too they just turned him on. Yet he was only pretty short, muscular but short.
But, some people like fat (as in obese) people, for some strange reason, and they are definetly the minority of males.
What I find funny is that I have a feeling males will be honest here, showing that appearance matters, but if there was a poll saying "Be honest, gals, do bigger men turn you on?", you would get so much "Aslong as he's nice, aslong as he's funny, etc, which is just plain annoying. I can't be bothered typing out more on the subject.
There has to be some attractiveness too him. I can't date a guy just because he is nice or funny.
But I just normally don't go for the muscular men that most girls do; it's ridiculous. As long as he has a nice face and isn't too big as in obese.
But of course there has to be a good personality.
