Do stressed out men prefer heavier women? Apparently so, according to a study reported by Time magazine. The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, reports that "when men were placed in stressful situations, then asked to rate the attractiveness of women of varying body sizes, they tended to prefer beefier frames, compared with unstressed men whose tastes skewed thinner."
“This suggests that our body size preferences are not innate, but are flexible,” said study co-author Martin Tovée of Newcastle University in the U.K., in an email, noting that they may be influenced by our particular environment and resources.

This includes men.
Folks tend to confuse overweight with obese. Particularly Americans and their skewed idea of beauty and figure.
Fat girls are lower maintenance and they appreciate the attention.
Saying fat girls are low maintenance because of her weight is like saying a bald man is low maintenance because he doesn't have to spend time keeping his hair look nice......LOL
Um, no.
So funny to see all the fat girls upset.
BTW...HOW do you know "I: am fat?? I'm not only smart, beautiful, but I am tiny, by most standards. I'm 4'11 and wear a size 6 or 8. Not skinny, but for going on 59 this year I am far from fat....lol
Yes, about 26 years ago I was 150+, but I was pregnant. I love my body because I take care of it.
Lighten up Art. I apologize if you took my comment wrong when I was messing with ya. Won't joke with you anymore......okay?
