Have any of you heard of this? There was a study that found most guys in Britain liked their woman to be an American size 10 so they conducted a survey in the US to see what American guys would say. They had 8 woman standing their undergarments and had the men pick which body size they liked the most. Model 1 was a size 0 and in NY 78% of men picked her and in LA 55% picked her and 30% picked Model 2 which would be like a size 1 or 2. I think this really says a lot about the world we live in. Did you know that the average size of an American woman is 14? I think things like this survey promotes eating disorders and woman to be unhappy with the body that they have. I'm not a size 0 and reading this just makes me want to work out and improve my body, but I think that's totally wrong. I should want to improve my body to be healthier, not to make some guys want me.

I understand that most guys like healthy looking women.  But it's completely untrue that the only beautiful women are size zero.  I have a brother and I often seek his opinion about which girls look good and what makes girls attractive.  It all depends on each girl, if she's shape according to her body size.  I have a good friend who is absolutely beautiful and she's a size four.  Even when she was underweight after being sick, she was a size two.  She was broad hips and will probably never be a size zero.  It's just not the way her body is made.  However, a lot of guys love her curvy figure!  She has great legs and a great body in general, but she's not a size zero, nor does she want to be, and that's great!

I think a size zero is waaay too small I dont think it looks good at all. Its like a little kids body, shes not going to have a butt or any hips or anything. I like the way my body is, I'm a size 1 or 3 and I'm skinny but no one can say my body is like a childs!
