Are you kidding, men prefer skinny and ugly over pretty and larger anyday! If you have ever seen that move with Ashley Judd and the NEW COW syndrome, well, it's really SKINNY COW syndrome!

I have also been a yo-yo dieter and been small and been bigger and now I'm battling to get back and working hard to stay there, but I have never had issues finding men or had dating problems. My last two boyfriends were very athletic and had great bodies but had no issue with me smaller or larger and it wasn't my personallity that caught their attention!

I have no idea why men are so wrapped up into skinny/thin women. Yes they are pretty just as much as larger women.SOME Men have some issues, and I guess are scared that their buddies would make fun of them for dating a big girl....awards given out and such at parties.... I cannot imagine why anyone feels that they can go off and just say anything, that is beyond rude! And yes we all have different tastes in potential partners, but as much as SOME men dislike women over 149lbs, I dislike men with IQ's of a grilled cheese sandwhich that feel OK about spouting off at the mouth about the weight of the average member in someone's chapter! A little tact goes a long way!

(UF Pike, I am sure you are a nice guy and the comment wasn't meant to be hurtful, but it really wasn't nice...)

My real sister is short and thin...120lbs and size 6, we both are polished and cute! I think all size women are great, I don't care if you are a 2 or a 22, be as healthy as you can be, just wear clothes that suit you and please forget the size and wear what looks good!

PM Mamma: good for you to start this thread! I love it when men say ridiculous comments like that, it makes me realize how wonderful the men in my life really are!
