The unhealthy thin fashion is a girl thing in my opinion. Just like MANY other things. What I mean is they don't do it to attract men, they do it for other women!!! It's the other women who judge them and make them feel insecure

Although I don't fit the anorexic unhealthy thin body type girl, I'm very petite. It is NOT done on purpose, and most certainly not done to attract other girls! I simply can't gain weight. As for other women judging, yes they do, they make snide remarks and give looks that could kill when you're smaller than them. FOF.
To each their own. I prefer a smaller body type for a man. Most women prefer the bulky muscled guys. Why are smaller men not picked on to this degree So you're right, it's a girl thing.
Healthy is attractive.
A curvy girl is curvy because she naturally has a body like that, so she could be thin but still curvy.
That's why natalie portman is attractive. She's NOT too skinny. That's her natural body type! if she got skinny, you would notice the difference don't you think?
So basically what I'm saying is, a thin girl looks good if she has the natural body for being thin. That's WHY when women who do not have the natural petite body shape try to get thinner and thinner, they look like crap!! Because their body type cannot get naturally thin like people who are. So they become very unhealthy looking instead.
Healthy is attractive.

Then that means your perfectly fine the way you are. I know quite a few naturally thin petite women(petite is cute), and they tell me other women, especially fatter women make rude remarks about how thin they are a LOT.
So I feel you, and there is NOTHING wrong with you.
By the way I did not mean "attract" women, haha, I meant to impress or to fit in with their standards etc.
Anyway please read my previous post.
They are just jealous of you.
I love women all shapes and sizes, every woman has unique beauty. I don't know why some women feel the need to judge other women, it must be self conscious reasons.

Anyone think men have a fascination, somehow, with staring at women who try to avoid being stared at???
I just never understood what it is that makes 'em stare.

I think we women stare too.
2nd line ... we're just better at hiding it!

. Should have read it first.
What's strange is when I was a teenager or early 20's it seemed old men found me attractive. Now it's switched, younger guys give compliments and men my age don't seem to. Not that I'm complaining., it's just rotten timing!
Personality is half of the attraction to anyone.

Yes women are good at hiding the fact they are staring at a guy, unless of course they want the guy to notice.
It's funny, I know some women can tell when a man is looking at her. When I see a man stare at a girl, I sometimes laugh in my head, because I know she knows he's staring even thou he doesn't realise it.
But about women..... When an attractive woman walks on the bus for example, I sometimes see another woman STARE at her, stare her down looking up and down at her body more than any man on the bus, like she wants her real bad!
Can someone explain that to me? Is she intimidated by her, attracted? looking at her fashion? lol....hmmm

It could also be jealousy or intimidation, or just thinks she has a nice figure or she "could want her badly". But I'd go with what you said about the fashion. If I've stared at any girl, that's probably why I did it. Or girls will actually be looking like they're staring at the entire package, but really just admiring one thing, like shoes or a hand-bag! Guys don't look at another guy and say "i love your jeans" or "OMG I just love your hair". But this is what they do, not me personally (I'm not vocal about it) to a stranger.
