I'm overweight and I think I'm very average if not ugly, but my love life has been really decent. I know this sounds cliche, but sometimes folks are attracted to the whole package- not just looks. But I tend to hang with very creative men that like books and make art because I'm an artist too. My 7 year relationship now is the best in my life. My partner adores me and we have a Damn good sex life. We're all flawed. I'm sure the folks calling people fatty have some serious personality flaws.

Why can't you just, like, not be attracted to the people you are not attracted to, and let it go? Why are you so invested in making them feel bad (well, trying to)?

Kim has a small waist and is a classic hourglass - no one considers that fat. Fat women are never a classic hourglass and have their "curves" in all the wrong places.

For example, Marilyn Monroe (35" bust/22" waist/35" hips) was a curvy woman because her waist was 13" smaller than her bust and hips. She was 5'5" and 120 lbs so not overweight or obese. She was statistically average for a woman of her height and build. She was only a size 12 by 1950 standards. By modern standards, she would be a size 4, maybe 6 at most.
There's no way she weighed only 120. Unless she was actually much shorter.
Her measurements are a matter of public record. Also, we have her clothes. The clothes that were too small for her/she had to be sewn into them would be a modern size 2. Based on that, she would comfortably fit a modern size 4.
In the late 50s, she did gain some weight (maybe as high as 140). But she weighed around 120 for most of her life.

As is this delusional idea that the men who are attracted to them must be closeted homosexuals or pedophiles. I am what some of you are describing as skinny - 5'6, around 117 pounds. I do not look like a prepubescent boy (or girl), I am not "flat and straight." I have small breasts (not "flat") but an hourglass shape (with the golden ratio mentioned earlier). I have a perky little bubble butt. I have thin legs and yes even a thigh gap, but my legs have shape and muscle definition. I do not starve myself in any way, and I have never lacked male attention. Yes, straight males. I am so tired of this absolute hate and vitriol toward naturally thin women and the guys who are attracted to them. I know there is a movement toward acceptance of all body types, shapes, and sizes, but while it is "body shaming" to imply someone is too large, it seems it's now perfectly acceptable to be hateful toward those who are thin.
