We all know how popular unhealthily thin women are. But what I want to know is why. People who are quick to accuse any women who aren't walking sticks of being fat never explain why they love those impossibly thin women. At least, I never heard them say why.

In the case of men who love them, it has to be a macho thing. Insecure men who need to feel like they could snap a woman in half with only their pinkies.

I also wonder if the attraction towards them doesn't merely come from conditioning. People are told to love them, so they love them. Just throwing out two possible explanations as to why beyond-anorexic women are so revered.

Lol I didn't even think super thin women were still a thing people liked like that anymore except for like in modeling. Anyway I sure as hell don't find women like that very attractive, I like women who got some ass.

I'm not even sure it's really all that popular, in the sense that most of the world actually likes it. I think there's a few thousand powerful people who are just super into it and that's why all the models have to stick to that standard. Which is absurd, because most models look totally gross.

I think that this is only a modeling thing.

There has been a shift big asses in recent years, you can thank J-lo, Kim K, Iggy Azalea and the like. I like athletic women myself, always have.

I never really cared for exteamly thin women overall. I don't think anyone has (think Kiera Knightly in Domino). I do like girls that have pretty faces, so yeah, sometimes that does mean thin girls, not to an exteame. The same goes for thick woman well.

I guess I like women that are a healthy weight.

Let's put this into perspective. MODERN WESTERN SOCIETY has an unhealthy attachment to promoting an impossibly skinny size through THE MEDIA as beautiful and desirable. Sadly, the focus is not just on women either. Numbers of men who are anorexic or constantly exercising or just plain unhappy with their size are rising fast. They feel the pressure to look good and strong as per all those airbrushed models. This clearly is unrealistic, not to mention dangerous.

On the flipside, conversely, we have the US. The main offender for portraying these 'impossible dreams' is also the most obese nation in the world. Anyone able to tell me how this dichotomy arose gets a gold star, because i can't work that one out.
