Or rather; when did society decide that fat chicks weren't attractive?

 I find it funny that society has decided for us what was deemed attractive and unattractive and most of us pretty much agree. 

I wonder how much of someone's attractiveness is based on 

1) our personal preferences and

2)  how that someone measures up to society's standards of beauty

I don't think its 50% - 50%. In fact, I would probably say its more like 10 % of our personal preferences and 90 % society's standards.

Or is it even something completely different alltogether? Is it sociological? Biological? Evolution? I don't know.

I wont go out with a "fat" or overweight girl because:

they eat a lot (most of the times its true)

sex is hard from what I can imagine,

risk of suffocating if you attempt to get laid

their boobs arnt that nice same goes for their ass

and its just to damn akward!

I wouldn't just call it society's standards...there's definitely something more attractive about someone who's fit than someone who's fat.

Everybody's beautiful on the inside, but that doesn't mean you should let yourself go...that's being lazy and not healthy for you. I'm overweight, not huge, but a little pudgy, and I know it. I would look better if I was thinner and there's not much more to it. I can be comfortable with myself as I am, but I can also work at it and get in shape, and there's obviously something more attractive about a girl that does that too.

I think our society has considered obesity a disease, when (a large majority of the time) it's laziness and not sticking to diet and exercise. Nowadays mentioning obesity is like mentioning cancer, and while the obese are growing in numbers, it's almost completely curable...eat right and exercise people!

no fat chicks.

this thread needs "fat attack"

Edit**** gif was broken

Obesity is generally unhealthy, and health is the predominant standard upon which any physical attraction is going to occur.

Another factor is also money. Way back in the dark ages and such, it was considered beautiful to be fat. Why? Because being fat meant you had the money to afford to eat, whereas just about everyone else survived from meal to meal, no real chance to get fat at all.
In modern times, the reverse is actually true. Fast food is the cheapest thing around, it's health food that costs you an arm and a leg. So people who are fat now are subconsciously equated to being poor.

Another factor, which is my personal preference is that it help hint at how well you take care of yourself. I can't really bring myself to invest a personal connection to someone who doesn't take care of themselves properly, thus not just fat, but anorexia, drug use, heavy drinking, and to a certain extent, promiscuity, also fall under things are not attractive to me.

Na man big gyalz dont look to healthy i mean do you really want to hold someones hane walking down the street whilst they are breaving like godzilla in your ear, i dont think so.

They usualy have blotchy skin.

they wobble all over the place.

They eat lots of food which will cost me to much to feed them lol

How do they have a bath or shower proverly when their arms are to fat for them to clean their back

Plus how can they wipe their bottom properly if they can not even reach it u feel me.

i am sorry but being really fat not only looks horrible but is un-healthy and unhygienic. i mean come on imagine how much swet is in all of those folds and creases on a hot summers day

EDIT: The reasons why I do not find overweight women attractive:
1. Obviously they do not have self control
2. The chances of meeting health problems in the future is high
3. From my experience overweight women are especially emotional, and annoying
4. The physical attractiveness is not there

The only way I would date a overweight person is if they were extremely nice and caring, and only slightly overweight.

 What i was gonna say.

It is nature. When we are attracted to someone we are looking to reproduce so we look for the mate that will produce the best possible offspring. The reason large breasts are attractive is because they are a sign that the female is fertile and is capable of feeding multiple offspring and large hips mean there will be less difficulty in child birth. Large people don't look healthy so we dismiss them.
