Ask Shallon: Do Guys Only Like Skinny Girls?

Hey Shallon,

I’m in middle school and im not the skinniest girl, but I’m definitely not fat. How can I still get my crush to like me?

Dear Un-Emaciated Em,

Firstly, thank you for spelling “definitely” correctly. I appreciate that. Secondly: who told you guys only date the skinniest girls they can find?? Oh wait I know–the entire media told you that. But honestly, it’s not true. In fact, I don’t know a single guy–not one!–who has ever said he prefers super skinny girls. Never heard a dude say that. Need proof? How about…

Soooo NOT super thin

or

Held together by Spanx and hope!

or perhaps

O000, Katniss!

See where I’m going with this? The hottest girls aren’t always the twiggiest. That being said, one key way to make your crush like you is to be attractive–there’s no point in indulging in this Glee-esque bull shit that you can be whoever you want, no matter how weird or off putting and everyone WILL love you for it! A lot of times they won’t. People like attractive things. It’s science.

Just, like, ENOUGH ALREADY Glee.

So how do you look your best even if you don’t necessarily have the body of your dreams? You dress for your shape!

Women carry body weight in different ways. Five ways, to be exact. No one is more ideal than the others but each should be dressed differently. For more on this, click here!

Let’s explore, shall we?

I'm a Beyonce--what are you?

1) Apple Shape

Kristen Cavallari is a classic apple shape, carrying her fat in her midsection.  Steer clear of things that are tight through the middle or skirts that are too long. Short is best because it shows off your fit legs!

2) Pear Shape

Kim K and Lady Gaga fall into this category and should stick to things that are fitted at the waist–loose styles make you look pregnant and wide throughout!

3) Wedge Shape

Audrina Patridge is wedges. Flowy tops and tight pants are your ideal recipe since it hides fleshy arms and back fat while highlighting your thin thighs, making you look more balanced.

4.) Hour Glass Shape

That’s me, baby! And Beyonce but I’m cooler, right? Wrap dresses and skinny jeans make the most of our ass(ets).

5) Rectangle Shape

No hips, no boobs, no butt? You’re a rectangle! As are most models and petite actresses like Natalie Portman or Kate Hudson.

See? There’s no perfect type of body. And like I said, skin and bones isn’t a dude’s ideal. So work with what you have and rock it. Because the sexiest girls are the most confident.

BOOM

XOXO,

Shallon
