The Skinny on Thin

by Paul Baranda

I, unlike some people believe that one can be too thin (rich is another matter). Hollywood and the fashion industry for years have set a standard for what people should look like that is truly unrealistic.

The average sized woman in the United States is a 10-12. This is not necessarily fat (depending on your height). Many women actually have breasts (imagine) that without them may fit into a 6.

I personally like to see a woman with a woman’s figure, not a 12 year old boy.

Within the same line of thought, I don’t like to see women that are overly muscular. There’s a difference between being fit and looking like an Olympian.

Most men like to hold onto someone who is soft and a little supple. Feeling bones is like being with a dead person and feeling muscle is like being with a man.

On the other side of the coin, muscle on men is perfectly acceptable.
