do boys really find skinny girls unattractive

Cameron Diaz: no thanks. Nicole Kidman: pass me the sick bucket. Keira Knightley: stop texting me. Okay, I'm being silly, there are plenty of lovely skinny chicks around.

Some boys prefer slim figures, but that doesn't mean you should start sticking your fingers down your throat every time you eat a cheese sandwich. We like curvy girls too - and anything in between. What I'm saying is, we're not fussy.

Boys are miffed when girls obsess over their weight. You might slate lads for being immature and stuff, but boys think there's nothing more stupid than girls crying over fluctuations in their body mass.

It's stupid if you're doing it for boys because we don't even notice! It's like cooking a beef stew for a vegetarian, or writing a love letter to a spider. They just won't appreciate it.

Clearly, there's such a thing as too skinny. If boys picked an ideal weight for a girl, it wouldn't be size zero or anything resembling it. Boys prefer some shape - so the "as-thin-as-you-can-possibly-get" look is never going to be a wise one.

But ridiculous unnatural extremes are the only things a boy will find really unattractive, whether it's a bag of bones or a wobbly blob weighing over 6000000lbs.

If you're just naturally small, lucky you. And if you're naturally big, lucky you too. And if you're Keira Knightley: seriously, stop texting me.
