Why do rich men seem to heavily prefer very skinny women? Even over a beautiful face?

Whereas I think she looks really stunning now


And I guess I'm just curious as to why that is. No judgement in either direction

A lot of women on DCUM would not consider Taylor Swift super thin in any of her incarnations.

That's a horrifying thought. Ugh, I feel sorry for them if that's the case. Disordered eating truly messes with your mental health

Why would someone say a lot of women wouldn't find her thin? She's clearly thin in the first pic but not so much in the second. But she's also very young in the first one.

I'm the one you responded to and I fully agree. I think anyone in their right mind would call this woman very thin- in fact, it was widely said about Taylor Swift and one of the few things our culture seems able to agree with, lol. But honestly people struggling with disordered eating might have their opinions of things distorted and I believe that's what the PP was pointing out. It's really sad though, and they have my compassion.

There is also a difference between marrying a thin woman and having a woman who stays thin.

When I got married, I weighed around 110 pounds. I was very thin. 20 years and three kids later, I weigh 125 pounds. I’m certainly not fat. I work out. I eat healthy but I don’t eat salad all day.

Op, what age are you and what aged men and women are you observing?

I live in an affluent neighborhood with politicians, professional athletes, entrepreneurs, etc. yes, the wives are never fat but they are not as skinny as you are implying. There are many beautiful women in my neighborhood but they are fit and healthy looking, not anorexic.

This thread is basically a way for people to hate on thin people. Fat people can’t conceive of a world where thin women aren’t miserable. Where they are just naturally thin or do a good job taking care of themselves without some disorder. You can’t conceive that thin, happy women exist. They must be miserable! (Why? Oh right, because you are miserable.)

Jeff, if this were reversed and there were all this bigoted fat bashing, this thread would get shut down in a hot minute. Why don’t all you sad people go for a walk?

How is anyone "bashing" thin people? The OP just observed a phenomenon and asked a question about it. People have been sharing their opinions on either side, and it's pretty civil. Why does this question bother you?

"Maybe, but the older thin women seem exceptionally bitter and miserable. They don’t just hate fat. They hate everything."

"Sounds really awful to be a woman who has to have a major focus on body maintenance in their 40s and 50s or else face divorce/ being switched out for a newer model."

This one is especially a doozy:
"They are also, bar none, the collectively most miserable old people. Their anger and bitterness is overwhelming when you talk with them. They are absolutely disgusted by fat, but also by pretty much everything else in life."

"...their taste everything eat nothing, G&T diets."

"...she is not sure she’s ever met a genuinely happy thin older woman. ... She almost thinks it is physiological, like a lifetime spent watching food intake turns into permanent anhedonia and an inability to love."

Someone who is angry it's hard for herself to stay thin decides all thin women are miserable like she is. She also conflates "not having enough calories" with "being thin", as though people who aren't fat are automatically starving themselves.
"As someone who used to be extremely thin, I think it does make you miserable. When you dont have enough calories, your body starts literally taking fat from the brain. It's not to say anyone has to be overweight, but I think a normal weight might be healthier. Whatever you have to do to maintain such a low body fat, seems to make people kind of miserable."

Read the Minnesota starvation experiment. All of these things (finding normal size people disgusting, depression, apathy, etc) are normal psychological reactions to calorie restriction. It’s not surprising that people have observed them in themselves and others.

Also, you have to imagine that nearly every fat person has gone through week/months/years where they have calorie restricted. People are generalizing their own experiences.

It’s not an unreasonable conclusion. I am the PP who wrote about my friend. She works with the elderly. The highly sensitive thin angry PP isn’t going to like this, but my friend is worried about it specifically because she is thin, and she has observed that the elderly thin women she cares for seem miserable. They are just not as happy as their slightly fatter peers.

This goes hand in hand with studies that show a little extra weight on women as they age is correlated with longevity and better health. Not obesity, but a bit of extra weight seems to be very protective of post-menopausal women. Just the decrease in bone fractures alone is helpful.

Who knows. It’s just an observation from someone who spends a lot of time with elderly women. If you are confident that it’s wrong, you can ignore it.

How fascinating. But did you mean to respond to someone else, considering this has literally nothing to do with the PP's comment?

I am a thin woman and what I learned very early in HS is that fat girls hate thin girls. Whenever I asked a fat lady to do me a favor (move a car to allow for more parking space), sell a ticket 2 min before movie starts I always hear no. A normal or a thin attractive woman who is my equal in looks would always help.

This thread is also proof that heavier women hate athletic thin women.

PP, you dont even realize that you just played right into the previous poster's hands with your absolutely inane, borderline nonsensical response. After they SPECIFICALLY called you out! And you still took the bait 🤣

You're only confirming what she was saying about not eating enough effecting the brain and emotional regulation. Seriously, you've been at it for hours- why not push the chair back, shut down your laptop, and go for a walk around the block or something? Make yourself some tea, have a breadstick... literally anything so you stop squatting on this thread and posting hilariously crazy responses to everyone on here.... I promise, it's gonna be okay!

Wow. You are determined to have a horrifying victim complex. I’m fit by the way, and am writing this while I’m sitting relaxing after my 50-mile bike ride. I just don’t go through the world looking to be miserable like you are. You aren’t doing a lot to disprove the theory about how older thin wome are more likely to be unhappy, you know.

Try to be happy some day and not go through the world trying to be a bitter victim. I wish you luck.

I'm the PP that quoted all the thin hate. I haven't been back. You are talking to more than one person and trying to say we're all insane because you refuse to see how hateful and misogynistic you are being.

Someone who is angry it's hard for herself to stay thin decides all thin women are miserable like she is. She also conflates "not having enough calories" with "being thin", as though people who aren't fat are automatically starving themselves.
"As someone who used to be extremely thin, I think it does make you miserable. When you dont have enough calories, your body starts literally taking fat from the brain. It's not to say anyone has to be overweight, but I think a normal weight might be healthier. Whatever you have to do to maintain such a low body fat, seems to make people kind of miserable."

Read the Minnesota starvation experiment. All of these things (finding normal size people disgusting, depression, apathy, etc) are normal psychological reactions to calorie restriction. It’s not surprising that people have observed them in themselves and others.

Also, you have to imagine that nearly every fat person has gone through week/months/years where they have calorie restricted. People are generalizing their own experiences.

It’s not an unreasonable conclusion. I am the PP who wrote about my friend. She works with the elderly. The highly sensitive thin angry PP isn’t going to like this, but my friend is worried about it specifically because she is thin, and she has observed that the elderly thin women she cares for seem miserable. They are just not as happy as their slightly fatter peers.

This goes hand in hand with studies that show a little extra weight on women as they age is correlated with longevity and better health. Not obesity, but a bit of extra weight seems to be very protective of post-menopausal women. Just the decrease in bone fractures alone is helpful.

Who knows. It’s just an observation from someone who spends a lot of time with elderly women. If you are confident that it’s wrong, you can ignore it.

Unless there is an actual study saying that thinner grannies are less happy and more angry than fat ones, this example of your friend is irrelevant. I've seen plenty of studies where fat in older age is associated with multiple deceases and depression.

I am a thin woman and what I learned very early in HS is that fat girls hate thin girls. Whenever I asked a fat lady to do me a favor (move a car to allow for more parking space), sell a ticket 2 min before movie starts I always hear no. A normal or a thin attractive woman who is my equal in looks would always help.

This thread is also proof that heavier women hate athletic thin women.

PP, you dont even realize that you just played right into the previous poster's hands with your absolutely inane, borderline nonsensical response. After they SPECIFICALLY called you out! And you still took the bait 🤣

You're only confirming what she was saying about not eating enough effecting the brain and emotional regulation. Seriously, you've been at it for hours- why not push the chair back, shut down your laptop, and go for a walk around the block or something? Make yourself some tea, have a breadstick... literally anything so you stop squatting on this thread and posting hilariously crazy responses to everyone on here.... I promise, it's gonna be okay!

That PP is seriously crazy.

I'm the PP that quoted all the thin hate. I haven't been back. You are talking to more than one person and trying to say we're all insane because you refuse to see how hateful and misogynistic you are being.

And FWIW, I'm a very happy person, but you believe what you have to to get by.

This thread is basically a way for people to hate on thin people. Fat people can’t conceive of a world where thin women aren’t miserable. Where they are just naturally thin or do a good job taking care of themselves without some disorder. You can’t conceive that thin, happy women exist. They must be miserable! (Why? Oh right, because you are miserable.)

Jeff, if this were reversed and there were all this bigoted fat bashing, this thread would get shut down in a hot minute. Why don’t all you sad people go for a walk?

How is anyone "bashing" thin people? The OP just observed a phenomenon and asked a question about it. People have been sharing their opinions on either side, and it's pretty civil. Why does this question bother you?

"Maybe, but the older thin women seem exceptionally bitter and miserable. They don’t just hate fat. They hate everything."

"Sounds really awful to be a woman who has to have a major focus on body maintenance in their 40s and 50s or else face divorce/ being switched out for a newer model."

This one is especially a doozy:
"They are also, bar none, the collectively most miserable old people. Their anger and bitterness is overwhelming when you talk with them. They are absolutely disgusted by fat, but also by pretty much everything else in life."

"...their taste everything eat nothing, G&T diets."

"...she is not sure she’s ever met a genuinely happy thin older woman. ... She almost thinks it is physiological, like a lifetime spent watching food intake turns into permanent anhedonia and an inability to love."

Yep. I keep hoping at some point they'll get bored and leave. Maybe someone will call them or something and distract them for like a half hour so someone can post on this thread without being harangued by them. It's truly annoying and very obvious from their tone that it's the same person. I really hope they can heal from whatever psychological mechanism is causing them to act this way

I am totally fine, just came back from a nice exhibit and concert. You are hateful towards thinner women and try to justify your weight gain by telling yourself "oh, at least I am kind and nice". No, you are not. Again, your studies about thin weight correlation with poor mood is welcome in the studio! I am not talking about unhealthy thin women, but those within normal BMI.

Maybe you're in the wrong thread then, because OP was specifically talking about women that would probably not be in the "normal" BMI range, but would almost certainly be classed as underweight. For example, someone said that Taylor Swift wouldn't have ever been considered "thin" by women on DCUM, when she would almost certainly have an under BMI 20% in the old photo of her.

And just a heads up, literally no one following this thread believes you were at "a nice exhibit and concert". You have a very distinctive posting style (that's a kind way for me to put it) and it's very obvious you've been posting incessantly for hours.
