How to use "Slender" in context?
When referring to someone as "slender," it's typically meant as a compliment. People who are slender tend to have smaller frames and are often considered to be more attractive. This may be because slender people typically have less muscle mass and are more likely to have less body fat. This means they often look more slim and toned than people who have more body fat. Additionally, people who are slender often have smaller bones which makes them look more delicate. People who are not slender, but are considered to have an "average" body type, might also be called "slender.
