Do All Men Prefer Skinny Women?

SAM SHARPE

God’s honest truth. Until I hit the ripe old age of 27 I didn’t realize that some men actually prefer skinny women. By skinny women I mean the walking coat hangers that girls like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Ritchie have become. But as I mentioned in Riding the Wave, everyone has a preference. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

I usually have some kind of angle on the topics discussed here at metanotherfrog.com, but in this case I don’t. Some men like their women thin. Some like them with a little extra cushion. That’s all there is to it. I know some segments of the media would suggest otherwise, but I would implore all women out there to remember that they live in the real world. Not on television. Not in the movies. Not in the pages of magazines. Not on some far-flung fashion runway.

I once was on a run of hookups with girls who would most accurately be described as slim. Some of my friends began to tease me, telling me I must have a thing for mawga girls. I started to develop a complex. Was I, Sam Sharpe, lover of all women, discriminating against those of healthier proportions?

As I thought about it, I realized the opposite was true. I had so worshipped women with the “thickness” for so long, I had actually discriminated against slimmer women. I hadn’t given them their due. I hadn’t recognized the beauty in them as well. In the end, after returning to my “normal” fare, and enjoying every minute of it, the truth of my attraction to the fairer sex finally hit home.

I love women. I do not discriminate. All shapes and sizes are welcome.

In preparation for this piece, I called several male friends of mine and without preface simply asked them what they would say to anyone who told them that men prefer skinny women. Here are some of the responses:

• What?!?
• According to whom?
• Really?
• Which men are they talking about?

.

Here’s something else to consider. Think about how many songs you’ve heard dedicated to women with curves, with meat on their bones. Girls with big butts, women shaped liked an hourglass, women with thick thighs and pretty brown eyes. Girls with that ‘Coca Cola Bottle Shape’. Now, think about how many you’ve heard dedicated to the joys of skinny women. I can’t think of any. Can you?

Anyway, just for fun, listen to this, or this (for the original dancehall crew!)
