Do women actually believe we find skeletons attractive? Chunky isn’t attractive either, but there is healthy (and feminine) in the middle of skeletal and obese.
The problem is that the current ideal treads a thin line (no pun intended) towards the skeletal side rather than the curvy side.
For example, if you look at my photo on my FR page, most modeling agencies, etc would consider me a plus size model even though I can’t fit into plus size clothes.
