I can totally relate...I'm 5'5, 125 pounds, and I have a distinctly curvy and very female body--little waist, big hips, big bust. I'm hourglass, which was considered to be the ideal shape many years ago
But I have yet to find a guy who finds my shape attractive. Every guy I've liked has encouraged me to lose weight...and several have suggested I get plastic surgery! I don't see what's wrong with being a curvy--not heavy--girl...but everyone seems to think that having an hourglass shape is "unhealthy" or something that needs to be "fixed".
Sigh.
Me too!
I have an hourglass figure
and perfectly hourglass proportions. Yet I still feel like my shape is unattractive. I mean, girls have told me that they are jealous of my (supposed) 'assets', but guys just don't seem interested at all.
If I became a size 2, I would not look natural at all. I just don't think my body can do that heathily. But it seems like guys prefer girls who are skinny with little to no curves to girls with feminine proportions.
Why is curvy now considered large??
It seems like, whatever size you are, you cant win. Id kill for hips and the hourglass shape, but I'm naturally skinny, I do overly well in the chest department (lol), but it just isnt good enough because i need more mass in my hips and legs as some people think. :/ Right now it seems like everyone likes curvy girls to me. If you were to lose your figure, all of a sudden youd notice how many guys love curvy women. Society is strange.
