Well I posted above that size 4 is perfect for me (between 110 and 115. I'm maxed out at 120p). I become extremely nervous at any signs of weight gain, though I wouldn't call myself neurotic I have been hard-wired in a society that frowns on meaty women, so for me being a size 6 only leaves me feeling uncomfortable. I have oftern wondered what it would be like to be endowed with an over-eccentuated hour-glass shape but that is a matter of genetics, which is why Trya Banks can gain 30 pounds after modelling and still look great. Believe me when I say if I gained 30 pounds I wouldn't look sexy.
Personally I have always liked my men either stocky or completely fit. Nothing bothers me more than a flabby man, he can be stocky but not flabby. Skinny men are out! Completely! I think mick jagger is a male toothpick. Generally I don't think women care about weight in a serious way, there are other visual cues that are much more enticing for a woman than the size of a man's pecs or how tight his ass is or whether he can fit into a teeny weeny pair of jeans.
Friends, I couldnt care less if my friends or colleagues eat themselves into a size 20, anorexics bother me though as they tend to be control freaks, not much fun.
I think though generally curvy women are much sexier than three dimensional flat boards. Twiggy and Kate Moss have unappealing body shapes, if I had to choose between Giselle's figure and Kim Kardashians I would pick Kim's. Curvy though is more difficult to maintain than stick figure. Curvy has to work at keeping everything tight and tend towards weight gain. Sticks remain sticks forever even if they do gain the odd few pounds.
What do you think about these women for example?

You see even though I think they are pretty or beautiful looking women as far as features go, I would hate to be in their bodies. Men on the other hand might think pretty, so what if she's not petite. At the end of the day I don't really think it matters, sexy is sexy no matter what, but we all have to feel comfortable in our bodies no matter the size.
Cutsiemarie: It doesn't matter if the designer only used up to size 7 models which is quite large in high fashion for catwalk, fact remains that to be CLASSIFIED as a plus size model you have to be at least size 12. Like those girls in the pics. Both are high fashion models for people like Jean Paul Gautier etc. and they are 12 or 14 which is a plus size. Its an industry and there is a set criteria.
