I am a cute, petite girl who has been single for 6 years. Please help?

Linda asked:


Hi Guys,

I am 22 years old who just graduated from college. I am pretty, has a great personality, nice body (currently working out to get toned). During my college years, I had a very busy schedule and did not think about having a boyfriend much.
Now that I have graduated I would like to have a boyfriend. But during those 6 years that I was single, I was also trying to date. I’d say the entire 6 years 3 guys were interested in me. I think that’s a pretty pathetic number. One of my best friends always gets hit on left and right whenever we go out on weekends to clubs and bars. But then she wears very revealing clothes and gives every guy a chance.

I was wondering what is wrong for guys not to like me? I am thinking about online dating but I think it is a little embarrassing. I don’t know what else to do. This entire situation has made me a very self-conscious, low self-esteem girl. If you have the same situation that you overcame, please give me some advise. Thank you very much.

Some sites claim that she is 181cm tall, which I obviously doubt given her petite size. Did some searching but to no results …
So she is taller then Joe Jonas who is only 178cm???

Best workouts for women for general toning?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Saperina asked:


I’m a rather petite gal (115 lbs, 5′3, and wear a size 3) with a very low fat percentage. I was wondering if anyone knew of some rather basic workouts to help me out with toning my body. I am not interested in losing weight, nor looking to completely bulk up. Just something to add a little bit more definition and toning to the muscles I’ve already got. Thanks.

Are there any stores that cater to petite women anymore?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Lola asked:


Is anyone else out there frustrated with the move to cater to obesity and up-sizing? I haven’t changed my weight since I was 15 (now mid-20’s), and I can no longer fit into the smallest sizes in the stores that were once my favorite. How is it that a size 4 was fine when I was 15, but falls to the ground on me now, when I weighed the exact same over 10 years ago! This is society catering to the large and obese. What about those of us who are naturally slim, work to eat healthy, and stay fit? Are we not as worthy?

I would like to hear everyone’s perceptions on this. Clothiers cater to the market that brings them the most volume and income (the overweight and obese), which is why they increasingly modify their sizes to allow larger people to think they wear smaller sizes. Fine. Wonderful. But where does that leave us slim people? We’re stuck. Newflash: Kids’ clothes aren’t cute on an adult woman. Anorexic/bulimic? Afraid not. I would just LOVE some advice on a some stores that do not cater to the overweight population (or cash cow), should I say?

I have found Guess and Bebe to fit nicely…when they can keep small sizes in stock. Thank you for your input.
Extra info..I’m in my mid-twenties, but thanks to some interesting genetics, I have the body and curves of a 12-year old (with the exception of a decent sized chest). I need stores that sell adult-themed clothing to smaller women.

What should a skinny petite woman wear?

Thursday, February 11th, 2010
Dallas asked:


I’ve heard don’t wear horizontal stripes, but they don’t always look bad. I’ve heard to wear heels, never flats, but heels hurt! I have heard to wear slightly baggy tops (especially if you’re small busted, and I am) and skinny jeans. Avoid wearing clothes that swallow you. I so far, like the slightly larger top, skinny pants, and heels. Sometimes, if the neckline is right, I can get away with a tighter shirt but because I am so thin and small busted I can’t wear tight tees without looking seven years younger. I’m 22, and very very very very very tired of being questioned on my age. You look 15! Ouch. It’s not even my face that looks young, it’s my frame… how do I enhance it and make my body match my face?
Oh to give you a size. I’m 5′1, I weight 93lbs, my bust barely fills a 34B, my waist is a 24/25 and my hips are 30something small…
I did notice that wearing a slightly large top with a tighter waist that ended just below the button on my jeans made my waist look longer. Plus the jeans are skinny and wearing heels made me look taller. Skinnier yes, but taller definitely haha

Searching asked:


Ok, I am 18 and very petite- especially upper body. I am 5′2, 100lbs, and a 32-34 A. I know alot of guys do focus on ****** size, as well as alot of fashion designs. What are some fashions that will help accentuate, say, my flat stomach, instead of my small ****** size?

Runner loves a quarterback!3 asked:

petite ladies having ‘BIG’ babies?

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010
Nat asked:


Hie ladies! Hope you’re all well!

Okay, firstly: i’ve had 4 scans @ 12 weeks, 16 weeks, 20 weeks and 23 weeks. 1st Scan @ 12 weeks showed baby size was as expected, due date only moved 2 days early conpared to LMP due date. 16 weeks, baby was expected size as well. At 20 weeks scan, baby measured almost 2 weeks ahead of his ‘expected size’ (lol) and scan at 23 weeks till showed baby was bigger than his ‘age’…

Now, does this mean that baby is ‘big’ or that he’ll come earlier???

To add, im 1.54m (5.05 feet). I have wide hips (in my opinion). Doc hasnt said anything to me about it but i’ve heard all sorts about short/petite women and vaginal births not being easy… What is your opinion from experience or knowledge of someone you know?

Being told my baby is big, i’d rather it mean that his due date moves up…? lol And my mind is pretty set on having a normal vaginal delivery…

Thank you for reading and for your answers!
