I am getting more and more concerned because I am seeing women I know - women in their 30s - with so little weight on their frames that their legs are as scrawny as a young teenager's. Too skinny as in Lara Flynn Boyle too skinny.

What's worse is that I hear other too-thin women around them going on about how "great" this looks. These women will often have entire conversations comparing women's butts, and apparently, the smaller the better. (Only, I have news for you...I get more compliments now on my bigger 30-something butt than my smaller 20-something butt of years past.)

When I was at my thinnest, in my 20s, I had a guy decide he did not want to date me because I was too thin and it scared him. (I was never anorexic, just had a high metabolism.) Men definitely like me better a little "filled out." If anything I would say they would rather a woman had slightly more padding than not enough.
