Do you think a bony chest (ribs showing above breast) is attractive on a woman?

[The Edge]

I think women are attractive with or without the bony chest. I honestly get attracted by a women's eyes.

I'm average weight and relatively healthy, but my chest bones show, especially when I raise my arms a little bit.

I wear turtlenecks, a lot.

Maybe I should stop trying to lick my elbows!

ROFL!!!

Im in the same boat. Im definitely not stick skinny like that picture in a previous post and I consider myself to be somewhat healthy. However my chest bones do show. Id rather have them show than to be overweight and have them covered up by unhealthy fat.
And since Kelley Ripa's name has come up a few times in this thread I just wanted to comment that I think she looks great. To me she doesnt look sickly or underweight at all. She does have some meat on her bones in other places, it just doesnt show up there. A few months ago, wasnt there was a thread going around here where people thought she looked pregnant one day? The poor girl cant win!

No, and certainly not if it's on purpose.

Hey crcormier, noticed you were in Wilson World in '86. That wasn't you I was kissing in the pool there that year, was it?

NO!

Nice comment.

No I don't think so. A couple of the "Desperate Housewives" (Teri Hatcher and Nicolette Sheridan) have that and I don't think it looks good.

No, for either gender, and ick.

eta: okay, I think I misunderstood...I was picturing being able to see someone's rib cage...a few years ago I saw a girl who was wearing a bikini top and you could clearly count all her ribs from a considerable distance. It was awful. The bones at the top of the chest, however, are fine.

Well, I guess I'm icky. I am not well endowed and have a bony chest. I am a dancer and I work out five times a day, so perhaps that has something to do with it. I'm certainly not emaciated but I do have a fairly low body fat percentage (for a woman).

No. Bones showing is generally a sign of illness. Not very attractive. People, both men and women, were not meant to be so skinny that bones show.

Miss Jasmine - I am certainly not poking fun at anyone. In cases where women (esp.) are so thin that they have bones showing, my first concern would be their health. I'd probably feel the same way for an extremely overweight person...not so much concerned about their looks but concerned about their well being.

Er, I'm not ill at all. I have never had an eating disorder. I make sure to eat enough calories for my activity level. There really is nothing I can do about my chest bones showing other than stop dancing and working out, sit on the couch and stuff my face...which I'm not going to do. I prefer to remain thin and healthy than obese and unhealthy.

Perhaps we should start a thread...Do you think cellulite on thighs is attractive on a woman and watch the responses.

By the way, I do have some cellulite on my thighs thanks to having a bubble butt. No matter how much I work out, there it still is.

But really when did it become acceptable to get on thin people and to sit here and say, yeah that's unattractive.

I am a woman with a bony chest and cellulite on my thighs. I guess I can't win!

I don't think I had kissed my first girl yet, but it could have been... That waterfall was pretty romantic...
