She's a beautiful woman. But her tiny waist scares me. Yet I realize that historically, a smaller waist is generally considered attractive. No, I don't have sources to back up that claim, well except for <i>Gone With the Wind.</i><br><br>
(This is a picture that Martin originally posted in the Random Thoughts thread)

I find her curves to be attractive.

natural curves = attractive<br>
freakishly small waists = freakish = not attractive

HH!!!<br><br>
A co-worker showed me Cathie Jung's pictures recently. I didn't know she was in her seventies.<br><br>
Wow, huh?

I couldn't have said it better myself <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Sophia Loren's waist is at least as big as <i>two</i> mayonnaise jars!

 

[RichMac]

Yes, I like small waists, in comparison to the hips

 

[altoids]

Who compares a woman's waist to a mayonnaise jar?

 

[HighHeat]

women who worry that their waist is as massive as a coffee pot?...<br><br><br><br><br><i><span style="font-size:xx-small;"><br>
disclaimer: the author in no way endorses coffee pot-sized waists, and feels that coffee pot-sized waists are also freakishly small. do not attempt this at home.</span></i>

I am not even going to try to find the food container that my waist compares to! <img alt="surprised.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/surprised.gif">

 

[QuixoticNotions]

Hmm.... I can guess for my waist....<br><br><i>the refrigerator.</i> <img alt="surprised.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/surprised.gif"><br><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

this is hysterical. Wasn't it Janet Jackson who had her lower ribs removed to have a smaller waist? I think it is a fairly common procedure, unfortunately.<br><br>
As far as the original picture, she looks hawt with those curves. I'd rather see women with a figure than women that look like prepubescent boys. <img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

I agree that Sophia Loren had a beautiful figure.<br><br>
I was looking at the pictures that Martin posted in the Random Thoughts thread last night, and was thinking "They used to know how to make <i>women</i>!"

A small waist can be lovely. Sophia Loren = Lovely.

Dude! Tom Wolfe calls them "boys with breasts" in "A Man in Full"

 

[ferrellk]

I think women with tiny waists and bigger hips can be attractive.<br><br>
I think women with curves can be attractive.<br><br>
I think women with extra meat on all parts of their body can be attractive.<br><br>
I think women who are built like "pre pubescent boys" can be attractive.<br><br>
I go straight down, without removing some ribs I would never have an hourglass figure. I think I'm ok with this.<br><br>
Sophia was hot. That other lady was weird.<br><br>
But if she's happy and her hubby is happy, more power to her.

 

[Buxtehude]

I might qualify as a "boy with breasts."<br><br>
I'm reprazenting for my fellow sisters!

I guess that's just one word.
