Zaftig chicks rule!

Because guys who date fat chicks are just as ugly and less likely to get another woman to sleep with them??

/didn't rtfa

that's cos the bigger ones fark better, and cook better, and take better care of their men!

they're afraid of being eaten

Because guys who love fat women are more likely to be looking below the surface to begin with and are more likely to committed to their mates?

Oh hell, I dunno.

Where are said lovers of fat women....take me to your leader.

I think you about nailed it. It's probably not quite that simple (not all guys who date large women are ugly, and that's where missmez has a good point). But in most cases I think you're right, and this survey totally ignored that huge confounding variable.

"It's not your looks that keep me here ... it's mine. I don't think I can do any better."

Men prefer a waist to hip ratio of 0.7. The most appealing women, both 100 years ago and today, have close that ratio, regardless of their overall weight.

Skinny women: not hot. Why do you think so many people in boobies threads want the owners of the boobies to eat a sandwich?

I gotta say, my first girl was the curviest (not fat by any means, but certainly curvy) of all the girls I've been with, and she was by far the best. Stayed with her for five and a half years, and five years and several skinny girls later, I'm still looking for another that measures up to the standard she set.

Your lack of experience disturbs me.

Maybe it's because the men who are with these fattys can't get anyone else? Usually a man with a woman who is a size 16+ is just as unattractive as she is.

What? You guys think fat, ugly people don't cheat on each other? There are plenty of other fat, ugly people out there to have hot, yeasty, fatty, cheating, sweaty love with.

Curvy does not equal Fat. Get a life, people.

Men with testicles more likely to cheat - shock survey result.

"Seven in 10 of those with slim partners also said their lovers were too worried about appearance to enjoy sex."

"Eight out of 10 of those dating cuddlier companions said their love lives were "fantastic and uninhibited".

Larger women - NOT girls - have gotten over that image thing..worrying about what others think. We know what we've got and we know the fella at home loves it

(and I don't CARE what kind of funny faces we make 'cause we're havin a great time)

I'd much rather be with Kate Winslet or Renee Zellweger (with Bridget Jones padding) than your average bony model. If that makes me a fat-chick-lover, then so be it.
Also, from my experience with girls the ones who are fit or a little bigger than average are way, way cooler than the unnaturally skinny ones who panic about eating more than lettuce at each meal.

FL8ME you forgot "chafing"

Yeah, but that doesn't mean you might not be great together.

/awf. I need sleep.

sheesh. What is with all the threads regarding fat folks lately?

Lesson for skinny chicks: Fat women have no problem with the giving of blow jobs.

Lesson 2 for skinny chicks: I don't count it as cheating when I get said BJ.

"their lovers were too worried about appearance to enjoy sex."


Hmm, interesting point. I've seen some high maintenance pain in the arse, shop til you drop, weekly manicure and pedicure, at the gym 24 x 7 types given the heave-ho for a more (what you fussy supermodel dating farkers would term) 'homely' girl who was at least a bit of craic, and not afraid to have fun, unlike her misery guts, insecure 'tell me i'm beautiful' rivals.

Used to work for a big multinational and this was a reoccuring trend....the guys with their expensive trophy dolls got sick of it eventually when they realise you are, in fact, supposed to like your partner and enjoy shiate together, not just for showing off in her six 6 frock of an evening.

That's cuz any chap who can only bed down some farm animal is going to not risk the only action he's ever gotten is star trek watching life.

/Thank you, thank you

Some of these women of thin sizes are so shallow that I can't see anyone having a relationship with them for anything other than sex - certainly some of these people can't always be fun to live around what with the constant worrying over appearances. I've known girls that fussed so much over their looks that I can't see where the "relationship time" would fit in. Trips to the bathroom every fifteen minutes because there's some chance that somehow, their already perfect makeup and outfit is roughed up. And then the constant concern that if they gain an ounce of fat they might just lose all status among the male crowd. It must get old after a while. It gets old just watching them do it, so I can only imagine what it must be like trying to date someone like that, male or female.Sure, they might look great, but even looks fade over time - then what's left to enjoy if that's all that mattered in the first place. ;)

It's so much nicer to be with someone who enjoys being with you but does not place such a high value on looks. Remember also, chances are when you date someone that has great focus on that concern, eventually they may be looking at you with the same criticism as they may use when they look at themselves.Not particularly charming.

I think charmed1782 and smile hit the nail on the head, the guys who go out with big 'uns are less likely to have had the pick of the crop in the first place and are probably grateful for whatever manner of female they can get their hands on & so are less likely to *upgrade*

now stop farking around and get back to work

/HURLING RULES!!!

Punctuate Cormac! Punctuate!

Since when does curvy meaning fat? Never ceases to amaze how shallow and ignorant most male Farkers are to something bigger than a straw. Asshats indeed.

Thank you for having a brain.

There ain't a single person in this thread who wouldn't tap either Jennifer Lopez or Angelina Jolie... and they've got curves up the ying yang.

This needs to be posted again.. for emphasis.

Curvy does not = fat.

Get a brain, morans.

vizui0, I don't know what you consider curvy, but to me Angelina Jolie is a very beautiful, thin woman. She has bigger breasts than usual for a skinny woman but she is in no way what the 'curvy women' in the article would look like. Unless they were eight feet tall.

I've read that Marilyn Monroe was a size 16 at the peak of her career. If that's fat, gimme some fat chicks.

Seriously though. Really attractive people never bother developing character and personality, because they get by fine without it. If you're attractive, that's a tool that will get you far on its own, so most people don't bother developing other tools. If you're ugly though, you damn well better be funny or charming or smart as hell.

I understand that curvy does not necessarily mean fat. I have seen a lot of curvy women who would certainly not be described as fat. Some curvy women are very beautiful.

However, in this case, curvy does mean fat. They are using curvy as the antonym for slim. Curvy is merely a euphamism for fat, big boned, tubby, etc in this context.


The article is also biased in an attempt to show that skinnyness somehow causes infidelity in a mate, when that is not necessarily the case. The survey could have also been interpreted as "Men hot enough to get slim girls are more likely to be able to cheat".

It could be that fat women magically release endorphins that make men more faithful or that only men who want to be faithful look towards fat women.
It could also be that it takes a certain amount of looks to be able to cheat, and that men who are already dating amazing hot women happen to have these looks.

Someday, maybe someday we'll have a fat thread in which no one quips that uber-interesting Marilyn Monroe fact.

Ah I think we need some Snopes for this one;

http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/mmdress.htm

A woman of Marilyn's height, at the extreme of Marilyn's weight range (140 lbs), would probably wear a size 12 dress today (which is the same dress size listed for Marilyn in the book The Unabridged Marilyn). Perhaps at one time she did wear dresses that might have been considered size 16 (or even 18) back in the 1950s, but she almost certainly did not wear dresses equivalent to today's size 16. This is borne out by citings such as the following (which might also be a source of some confusion, as a British size 16 would be the equivalent of an American size 12):

Me lubs dem curves...
Anorexic lovers... you can have the Olsen twins. Everybody else changed their mind...

I doubt Marilyn Monroe would be a size 16 in today's sizes. Stores have really inflated the actual sizes to make increasingly "curvy" Americans feel better. A 1950s size 16 is probably the equivalent of a size 10 today.

UnFark

Youre right, but have you ever tried to tell that to a hot dumb chick? You cant, so they never end up learning that they need to develope more 'tools'.

This is off topic, but I don't understand why you Fark guys are so critical of someone who isn't within the narrow parameters of what you consider attractive. I love most skinny guys and big guys, as long as they have nice eyes and a good sense of humour. It seems on here that anyone who's a few pounds over what you think is perfect is a freak.

Just imagine in another 50 years.

Eating healthy (or lack thereof), no exercise, fast food, and atkins will cause even more inflation. I can just see it now...

"Oh yeah, well Brittany Spears was fat too, she wore a size 4!"
"I'm going to have to call you on that, back in 2000, that was the equivilent of today's size -48"

Maybe nobody paid attention to my earlier post because of my choice of language, but I'm going to say it again. It doesn't matter if you're fat and ugly and want to cheat on your mate. Sure you're not going to bang a supermodel but there are plenty of other people just as unattractive as your big horny ass out there that want to get there freak on. The whole "They don't cheat because they can't" argument is garbage. As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet fatasses get more ricky chow just because so many damn people in America are pushing serious tonnage.

or Australia, or New Zealand, or wherever...

You know it doesn't matter what size she was. From looks alone it's obvious she would be considered to be chubby these days. No WAY she would have made it in Hollywood with that figure. That's pretty sad if you ask me... she's gorgeous and ultra-feminine.

/that sort of sounds like a personal hygiene product. Now with wings!

Surely there are other choices besides skinny and fat? Is it now skinny, curvy, fat? Or skinny, medium, curvy, fat? What about curvy people who are not fat, and people who are not fat but not curvy either? Don't they deserve any consideration? Jesus Christ, people! Don't be such cruel bastards! Let the non-extremely weighted women of the world into your heart!

I am skinny, fat, curvy, medium and morbidly obese. I am curvy but not fat. I am not fat but curvy. I am morbidly curvy. I need a sammich. I need to put the cake away and walk down the farking block. I am everything and have a wonderful plan for your life.

Just give me a farking beer.

Rillion:

In fact, I've found those in-between-fat-and-skinny stages to be the CURVIEST: if girls are too skinny, they lose their hips and bust, if they are too fat, they lose the waist that goes along with larger hips and busts. Either way, their body is a straight line instead of an hourglass. Thus, I've found myself generally attracted to medium sized women.
