Is a size 14/16 unattractive?

Post Reply New Topic

Thrift stores are filled with plenty of small clothes for women. People buy them hoping their diets will work.
But, it is more fun to shop the discount racks at department stores. Sometimes cheaper, too, if you sign up for special discounts.

I think that attraction is an individual thing. It doesn't matter what size you are if you're healthy and happy with yourself.

Curves are beautiful.

If you are curvy you should avoid the odd sizes, which are Junior's sizes, meant for young women who have a slimmer bust and hips.

Some people have a strong preference for that size. Others have strong preferences for other sizes. Or both. Some people have no preferences at all, and rate attractiveness based on other factors entirely. It's honestly really subjective. There's not even a single social/cultural 'standard' - what's fashionable one decade is outdated the next.

Generally, and assuming we're talking about people whose preferences managed to not get screwed up by mass media and marketing telling them what they should say, visible physical health - for want of a better term - is a better indication of attraction than a given clothing size.

And that's without getting into all the differences between what's considered generically Hollywood attractive vs actual-real-person attractive, and things like an attractive artificial appearance (makeup artistry etc) vs attractive despite having just been caught in a storm, or statuesque vs cuddly, or physically attractive vs intellectually or emotionally attractive. The person who looks amazing on a catwalk may not be one you want to drag off to bed or one you want a long-term relationship with.

With all the factors and subtleties, saying "size 16" - or any other size - doesn't really say anything about who a person is going to appeal to. Even only visually.

I don't really know what a size 16 looks like but after reading a little it seems to be a bit on the larger side?
I have been attracted to the more voluptuous ladies usually

Plenty of size 24 women are married

I was at a restaurant recently with two families with young kids. I'd estimate that one lady weighed over 200 lbs and the other 250 lbs, well above normal weight.

“I believe I’m the first size-14 on Victoria’s Secret,” Tate-Cutler wrote on Instagram. “Regardless I’m pretty stoked to work with a brand I idolized when I was a teen. Great step in the right direction for bodies.”

There are way more other factors that come higher in the list than clothing size to determine who is attractive

I find size 14-16 very attractive. Good luck on the weight loss.
