Why don’t you enlighten me? Which culture likes 350-lb men or women? Not talking muscular athletes, but those with folds of fat that get crumbs stuck in them. I had a paramedic friend say he and his colleagues labeled one patient “human couch” for all the random coins and crumbs and detritus stuck in the folds of his skin. Required 3 people to move him too. |

Actually, traveling is another way to learn that a cultural preference for a healthy weight is more universal than not. Maybe you’re the one who should get out more. |

| Absolutely no one is arguing morbidly obese is attractive or healthy. But yes, some (perhaps most?) men - if that is the demographic we are concerned about for this particular thread - find normal to slightly overweight women preferable and attractive. I’m sorry that is triggering to you. |

Read back through this thread again and take note of how many of the self proclaimed skinny posters are lashing out with name calling and then report back on who is most bothered. You sound mentally unwell and obsessed with others' bodies. I doubt anyone gives you a second look let alone takes the time to comment. |

Nope. I'm well travelled which is how I know you're full of it. |

Where did you travel to that proves your point? |

But this thread is not about morbidly obese women. It’s about normal weight (which, I’ll admit, is not “average American”. The average American is indeed overweight.) women. Normal as in healthy, not just at the edge of underweight, BMI of 19 kind of body. I am the poster a few pages back who has three brothers. I’ll reiterate my point. Men tend to not like obese women, but they do not think about weight nearly as much as you think they do. They don’t nickel and dime you over 120, 130, 140, 150 lbs. Not because of woke body positivity. Not because they read medical journals either. But become men are Not. That. Complicated. Do you have a nice face? Do you have a vagina? Do you like to use it? Do you have boobs? Are you not a “human couch”? Then there you go. That’s it. The rest is sexual chemistry, compatibility, etc. |

^^^ Because, not become.
Men are not complicated. They like a nice face and nice boobs. |

Its weird to think you can speak for all men just because you have men in your family.
Get your fainting couches ready... Some men even like morbidly obese women! Ask yourself why are you so triggered by that? |

| Im betting a lot of you are ugly as hell and are grasping on to being skinny because it's all you've got. No way would you actually be bothered or give any mental energy to comparing yourself with anyone else if you were getting validation of your beauty from men. |

*groan* You don’t know squat about me or where I’ve been. And you’re so “well travelled”, yet you failed to notice how much leaner many other countries’ inhabitants are, compared to our own. No matter the country or continent I’ve visited, the people on the streets, actors, models, TV personalities, etc are all almost universally slender. I mean, the “fat American” stereotype is a stereotype for a reason! |

Guess what? Some of us eat whatever we want whenever we want and are still really thin. We never even have to think about diets and portion sizes and gaining weight. Did I just blow your mind? |

+1 I don’t deny that there are angry, perpetually hungry, skinny women out there. But some of us just have normal eating habits and maintain a healthy weight without all the angst. I understand this likely enrages the more overweight contingent, but oh well! |

Guess what else? Some of us are normal weight and are tired of people assuming that only fat and skinny exist and nothing in between. |
