Men Like Meat On Bones

Men like curves.

Don't nothing like a bone but a dog.

You've likely heard a few sayings about men and their preference for a woman's body.

Despite this perspective, women work out like maniacs in search of the perfect physique.

And hey there's nothing wrong with staying in shape and staying active, but I do believe that there is a bit of truth to having a little bit of meat on your bones.

I have a personal test that determines if there is a need to lose poundage.

I call it the Pillsbury Girl test. It's when I take a photo and I look extra puffy, like I've just come out the oven.

And then there's the Toilet Test. When you sit on the toilet and this is really private time and your stomach grosses YOU out. It's time to make some changes.

I've lost about 15 pounds in the past three months and I feel like a new woman. I'm wearing clothes I haven't worn in some time and heck I just look foxy fabulous, if I must say so myself.

Any who.

One of my co-workers constantly reminds me that I should not want to lose too much and begin to look like a man. No curves, no nothing, he says.

I respect his opinion and it's not any flirtation involved in the comment. He's just being honest about how he thinks some women get carried away.

On the other end of the spectrum, are women who believe that fat is foxy. It is not, at least in my opinion.

I absolutely hate to see pockets of fat on legs and booties through white pants -- uggg. I absolutely hate to see women with big ole bellies wearing tight T-shirts giving the illusion that they are 5 months pregnant. I absolutely hate to see women with thighs that are really the size of a small child.

Nah, every body isn't meant to be a size 6 or 8. In fact, the average woman is a size 12 or 14.

I'm definitely not a 12, but I did peak there at my highest weight. I really didn't like weighing .....

I have always said that I want to be a perfect size 6. I've been a perfect 6. I wear a size 6 shoe and I'm teetering on size 6 and 8 these days.

It feels absolutely wonderful to be able to put on a size 6. I love it.

Some of my clothes are still a bit snug so once I lose just a few more pounds my blue Raulph Lauren suit and my favorite pair of Levis will fit just right.

After all, men like a lil meat on the bones. And I think with my 5'1 frame, a size 6 will be great.

What prompts you to want to lose weight? What is your perfect size and why? Fellas, what do you think is the perfect size? Give height and weight? Or does size matter?
