When I met my husband I was a rather plump happy girl. He was skinny in the border of painfully skinny. And we fell in love!! when we were about to marry I decided to lose some weight, and I was fine. We are not the sporty tipe but tried to keep on shape. After our baby was born, I still did not get as fat as before but he has the cheek of reminding everytime I get a kg more or two! I am sure men like to 'see' skinny girls but to have a good cushion to embrace. Never sure about the logic...
