She looks like Barbie: petite, busty&#8230; petite. The ideal pair, then, is a big, strong man and his teeny, frail little lady.

And the ideal woman? She looks like Barbie: petite, busty&#8230; petite. The ideal pair, then, is a big, strong man and his teeny, frail little lady. Because of this unrealistic ideal that we have all been socialized to expect and strive for, women want to feel small and cute in comparison to their men.</p>
<p>Yes, we want to weigh less than our men.</p>
<p>It makes sense, right?</p>
<p>I know it is stereotypical to say, but I like strong men who are bigger than I am. I think girls feel this way for many reasons, one being the constant feeling of insecurity and body image. I know I would feel insecure about myself and have the constant feeling that I needed to lose weight if I was dating a man who weighed less than me. I also think, politically correct or not, I&#8217;d like to be with someone who could protect me. I&#8217;m not saying that I can&#8217;t stand up for myself, but I like the feeling of security that a nice big pair of arms provides me.</p>
<p>And, let&#8217;s be honest here, it is hard to feel feminine and ladylike when you are bigger than your boyfriend.</p>
<p>So as much as I would like to say I would date a guy who weighs less than me, the reality is that I probably wouldn’t. But I&#8217;d like to know: am I alone?</p>
<p>Would you date someone smaller than you?</p>

<p>Just like we are always wondering what <a href="http://www.collegecandy.com/sex/13673">guys are thinking</a> (which is usually sex, boobs, or sex), guys want to know what’s on our minds. What do we want? What do we like? What the hell do we mean when we curtly say “it’s fine” after we catch them chatting with <strike>a whore</strike> another girl at the party?Contrary to popular belief, <a href="http://www.collegecandy.com/other-stories/13313">they care what we think</a>. Not only because they want to please us, but because they want to woo us, lure us…and get us into their beds.</p>
<p>So, we at CollegeCandy decided it was time to let guys know exactly what we like/hate/and dream about at night. So, vote, comment and pass this on to those boys in your life. And remember: unlike sex with most college men, this is all for you in the end.</p>
<p>Which do you prefer: the skinny boy, or the dude with a little extra meat on his bones?</p>
