Skinny Boys: What is Too Skinny?
I will start off by saying I like my body and work my curves, but I have never been super skinny. This is of no issue to me, except for when I have dated boys who are skinnier than me.
For whatever reason I have found myself attracted to many very thin guys, and always have to stop and reflect that yes, my guy is a lot smaller than me. I wonder, is this an issue?
I cannot help but wonder if there a point where a skinny boy is too skinny? Is it dependent upon my size and shape, or is there a universal size that is simply too thin for even the smallest girl to stand up next to?
Having given this topic some thought, I strongly feel that I should not feel persuaded to date a guy that is proportionate in size to me; in short, I should be able to date skinny boys. I am attracted to them and if they are attracted to me, why should I care that he's the thin one?
Although I have formed my opinion, I am still curious what other girls think about skinny guys; is there a point that is too skinny? Would you date a skinny boy?

Yeah, they're too skinny if they're emaciated or bony. I would feel really self conscious around a guy that was skinnier than me.
It's a turn off when he's skinnier than me.
@steph@datingish - Haha, exactly.
I feel self conscious around my boyfriend because he is pretty thin, but I don't think there is a such thing as too thin... except for the extreme of course..
it works for some people.. i know a girl who's 95 pounds but doesn't look it. she doesn't look sick either. it depends. idk.
Skinny boys are fine, as long as they're healthy. As a matter of personal preference though, I like it more when the boy is a bit bigger than me. Or at least, I want to feel comfortable tackling him without feeling like he'll snap in half!
I like them to be normal not super skinny, but not like a big fat fatty. Just a little muscular! Baha.
i wouldn't want to date a guy skinnier than me.
i know some guys in hongkong actually diet to look that skinny.. =/
i like skinny boys, but theyre usually 'bigger' than me (for example, my bf is 6'4 and 150ish but with a bmi of about 18.3) just due to their height and such. i have dated a guy shorter than me who actually weighed less than me. it was a little odd and i kinda felt like i crushed him a lot...
I think I'd prefer the guy to NOT be skinnier than me... I'd be self conscious, as if dating isn't hard enough... But I generally prefer my guys to be "athletic" - meaning, have some meat, have some muscle... I don't mind "trim" guys... but toothpick thin is pushing it. I'm skinny - but I'm not a skeleton, and I'd prefer not to date one, thanks. Still... anorexia in men is being more and more recognized... and should continue to be so. Interesting blog idea...
I never wanted a guy who could wear my pants, or worse, smaller.
I would not date a skinny boy. I want a man (and I have one) who is bigger and stronger than me. (:
It would pretty much shoot down my self-esteem if a boy I was dating was skinner/weight less than I do.
As long as I'm not way bigger than my guy, it's not too skinny.
I don't really like emaciated-skinny boys... ya know?
Like the whole lanky skater-skinny look is... ick.
No offense to anyone =/ Just not my preference.
I like thin guys with a healthy build.
I looooove skinny nerd boys.
If they have just a speck of arm muscles though, that's a turn on too. Not too much though, just enough to hold me, I guess, haha. I'm not really into ripped guys, it's gross.
I've dated some pretty skinny guys, but I think I prefer them muscular/skinny rather than just skin and bones. Really skinny guys seem a little fragile to me and i like strong men.
if he fits into my skinny jeans. worse, if my skinny jeans are too big for him. -.-
I love skinny guys! I actually have a thing for a really tall really skinny guy right now! He's easily 6'4 or more and can't weigh more than 160. He's itty bitty! But he likes me at my comfortably curvy 5'4 height and 130 lb weight. I see no problem with dating skinny guys, Although, I will admit to sometimes being afraid I'll break them. = )
I wouldn't date a guy without muscle- abs, biceps, nice firm ass LOL all that good stuff. Dating a guy who wears a smaller size than I do would just bring me downnn ><. Some guys are born skinny (so lucky!) so you never really know. I think it's harder to see eating/health problems in guys than in girls.
my boyfriend is really fast metabolism.
he's 6'2 and weighs about 135.
it makes me feel like fat, even though i'm 5'3 and 100 pounds.
oh well. some people are blessed.
*has
LOL
typo
Who I date is irregardless of size, height. I would be a little weirded out if he was skinnier than me though :P
if he is so skinny that he can fit into my clothes, no, I wouldn't date him. tall and skinny is different though. I prefer slim and proportionate weight to height.
All of the guys I have went out with have weighed less than me, and I'm not obese, they are just not big. I don't really care because they are just who I am attracted to. I like skinny guys.
as long as they aren't anorexic.
Maybe not "skinny," but "thin" or "slim." The connotation of the word "skinny" throws me off a little. I think it's fine for them to be thin, as long as they're healthy.
