I don’t take it the way everyone else is. Some people are skinny as skeletons when their younger, then BOOM, they finally get some meat on their bones – all over, -not just in select places.
I did not realize how lucky I was to marry a skinny girl because there have been a lot more years with her “filled out” than skinny.
In contrast, my brother married one who was already “filled out” like the proverbial brick house but divorced her after five years. When he saw her 18 years later at the wedding of their daughter (required that he travel a distance) his only comment was “well, I lucked out and dodged that bullet”. Translation: She was huge and not in a good way.
Too bad for the skinny gals, if there are any left in the US, that young guys are unable to think out the long term consequences of their decisions.
Let’s admit it, there is NEVER any answer to ANY question or comment from your wife. Every answer, no matter what, will be wrong. This is the voice of experience here.
I was fat. Husband was fat. Just before we starting dating we had both lost a lot of weight. We started dating – Friendlys was a common end to the night. We both got fat again. Then we both lost weight again – together this time. Then we both got fat again.
Just over 20 years ago he was diagnosed Type 2 Diabetic. – We both started losing weight again. I lost some and then kept it off. Then I was diagnosed same about 10 years ago and lost more weight. Since then twice again I have lost weight. He is just about what he was after he lost weight after being diagnosed. I was holding after the last weight loss at what I weighed in high school – now I am even less than that.
But up and down and up down – and with health problems – one thing has always been true – we love each other and what we weigh does not affect our attraction to each other.

Yes, Janis filled out nicely. And her cups runneth over. Well if she wore the same top that’s in the picture she would.

I think many men want meat on their women. Jimbo in Rose is Rose, for example. While we women lament the days when we had abs… :D

I was skinny in college too… but then I spent most of my food allowance on music and walked everywhere

Arlo just tried to reassure Janis that he still appreciates her looks. So many women take it the wrong way.

Like the auto parts store ad says, “All the right parts in all the right places.”

I’m with Arlo. I like a woman with curves. Especially, with a little rounded tummy…very sexy!

I remember I had skinny boy looking arms when I was a teenager. Couldn’t wait for them to fill out. Now they look like bat wings. ( Sigh!)

Arlo gave Janis a compliment, but it ignores what Janis misses—-her flat tummy.

Arlo, it is worth whatever the pain will be. Well stated.

Isn’t this just the way it always is? Women spend our entire lives trying to be skinny and the men want curves!

A little over fifty years ago when my Italian grandmother first met my future bride she exclaimed “You’re so thin, we fatten you up”
