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

[Anonymous]

Question for OP: Are the men in good shape? Are they fat?

I agree with this but I'm not really talking about a body that's a wreck. Like I totally and fully understand why men OR women want to be with someone who is, say, obese or severely overweight. I'm just saying I see many wealthy men married to very thin women who are otherwise not very attractive facially. Like... no offense to her but, say, Mackenzie Bezos. I guess I just dont really understand it.

Maybe they aren't as shallow as you presume they are and like the person. Just a thought.

Hmmm... I'd say a lot of them are average sized/out of shape/chubby I guess. Some thin ones though

Because these women are NORMAL, not thin.

Sigh.

And the people all happen to be very thin and have the same body type? In a country where being overweight is the norm? Not sure if I'm buying that...

You don't need to buy or understand why two people who have nothing to do with you are attracted to each other.

Who knows, some interesting speculation here.

The beauty standard is changing as we see in ads for stores. You used to be able to find size 14, 16 only at plus size stores like Lane Bryant. But now that is everywhere in retail stores with mannequins, models in ads.

Even SI swimsuit has larger , attractive models like Ashley Graham and also much bigger ladies.

My Gen X DH has not changed however, I am still slim for a healthy weight. He himself is over 30 bmi though.

Wow! This is so fascinating to me.

I agree with you that I think things will change. Anyway, I guess as long as you're both happy...

If you have a thin, petite blonde mother who golfs, drinks her dinner and sneers at the full-figured, chances are good you’ll look for something similar in a spouse. Of course, there are always outliers…

It’s white guys over 30 and it’s a total status thing. I read a study (will look for it) that essentially said that while white men prefer to date and marry thin women, the porn they look at is typically of more voluptuous (not fat) women. But thin is a symbol of status in moneyed white society.

The media has been trying to push for inclusion with fat and overweight women. It hasn't worked and thin is in especially now that Kim K has gotten off the thick fad.
She looks way better now thin.
Being thin take work and a healthy lifestyle, being fat doesn't so women are losing their minds again now that effort is needed to look attractive

OP here. I think that might be part of it... a psychological association of fatness with laziness and thinness with discipline. I wonder if there is a generational factor as well but I definitely think that might be a big factor

OP, I think it’s partly this and partly that in American culture, being skinny is positively associated with status (probably in part because it’s assumed that skinny women aren’t lazy). You can never be too rich or too thin, blah blah.
