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

Of course thousands counterexamples so no need to spit out your donut and tell your IQ score, but as a broad generality.

Probably has more to do with ACE scores in childhood that a(e)ffect intelligence/testing and schooling than anything else since they only establish correlation not causation.

Probably a lot of hot women come by it naturally in their 20s, and then being rich allows them to stay focused on body maintenance for the next few decades.

Maybe true. 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.

Being thin in this environment requires making “the healthy” choice when there are lots of tasty temptations. It’s hard and does require discipline. It’s absolutely ridiculous to say people “cannot afford” to be thin. You don’t have to eat organic/fresh foods to be thin. I’m pretty sure overweight people aren’t getting fat on baked potatoes (cheap), frozen veggies, eggs, beans. I think of fast food for lunch/dinner, Doritos etc. is expensive and completely wasted money. Definitely societal pressure to be thin especially in higher socioeconomic groups

They are lazy compared with people who have to hold down 2 jobs to make a living.

Yup they also have crap values. If making money to drive a fancy car/house/clothes/ thin wife is what hold dear, you my friend are not in fact intelligent, smart or even probably happy. You ARE someone who wholeheartedly buys into capitalism and the idea that things make you better than others.

What are you talking about. Do you live in a shack, wear Goodwill clothes, and are you underemployed and morbidly obese? Are those your values? Doesn't say much about you either.

What do you mean? It seems you understand that if you think fancy things are important, you have fallen for the concept that fancy things mean you are better. There are degrees to everything. If I won the lottery, I would never think having a Porsche, buying Armani a fancy watch or whatever is important. I just don’t care. If you do, you think having fancy things is important then you believe much more in the dream that capitalism is trying to sell: That fancy things mean you are better.
We all have survive in this world and a base income of about 75,000 give people in our society basic happiness. But rich people have fallen for this idea hook line and sinker.

Who says they think these things are important? Fact is they have the money and can afford them. You don't have the money and can only fantasize about the spartan life you would lead if you did. You have no insight based on what people totally unlike you think other than just wild assumptions.

Some of us enjoy exercise and don’t want to eat garbage. Few of our grandparents were fat so it’s not like it’s some major accomplishment.

Seriously. What’s sad is that being skinny is an achievement.

I enjoy exercise and love eating garbage. I would not want to have “a major focus on body maintenance” as a 45 year old woman. I exercise by walking/jogging and doing yoga/Pilates, but I do it because I want to feel good, not so that I maintain my “figure” to “keep” my rich husband. That would make my skin crawl if that were an expectation for my marriage. If you are comfortable with that arrangement, great and enjoy!

I don’t think most women consciously think about being thin to keep their rich husbands (which doesn’t always work, this board is filled with reports of husbands that “affair down”) it is more deeply entrenched than that- it is a combination of genetics and an almost OCD fixation on being thin. Talk to older women that are thin and you will get an earful about their absolute disgust and revulsion of body fat.

Living a healthy lifestyle should not be that difficult, especially for those well off. It's not "body maintenance" but just living healthy.

The “doing this to keep a husband” is something you invented. I’m just explaining why I’m thin. This whole thread is people mind reading why others are thin or are married to thin people. If you are comfortable with that, great and enjoy!

You exercise for the right reasons, but those other women do it for the wrong ones. You can tell.

What a fcking narcissist you are.

This thread is nuts! Did it ever occur to you that some women are just thin? I'm in my fifties, married to a "rich, white guy" and I am very thin.

No I'm not an exercise junkie, and I've never been on a diet in my life. I think one of the things my DH really likes about me is how little time I spend talking/thinking/obsessing about my body.

It almost seems like posters are saying ALL thin women are obsessed with body maintenance and have low key ED.

And that all men marry then for status but secretly yearn for heavier women.

I think the men marry beautiful women, then the woman takes it from there: she may be perfectionistic and afraid of losing the beauty that has defined her life; she may love designer clothing and wants to look the best in them; in any case, she's got the money/time/resources to prioritize being thin and in shape that she would not have if she hadn't married rich. She stays thin.
