I hope I’m not getting annoying with my constant posts but I really love this blog… 

I just read that ignorant post about how males are wired to think that thinner is better… that’s simply not true. In fact, almost every culture has thought that fat people are the ideal at one time or another, and some still do. Everyone from vikings, to Indians, to Polynesians, to Africans, etc, literally EVERY culture viewed fat as attractive at one point in time.

The only thing that’s truly wired into our minds is to find mates who are healthy and sexually developed. Besides that, beauty is entirely subjective. I’ve always liked larger bodies. I know thin guys who strictly date fat girls because that’s all they really find attractive.

Just because you hear “Fat is unhealthy, fat is disgusting” every day of your life, does not make it true. It just means you’ve been brought up this way. I respect it if you prefer thin people, but just because YOU do doesn’t mean that we all should or do. The reason you find thin people attractive is because you’ve been told to your whole life, that’s all there really is to it.

And the whole argument of people finding thin people attractive because it’s “healthier” is just wrong… firstly, if it was healthier, then being fat wouldn’t have health benefits that thin people do not have. And thin people aren’t always healthy either… I’ve known people whose diet consists of big macs, soda, and junk food, yet they’re still small. Do you REALLY think they’re healthier because of their weight? That’s not how it works.

Some people like fat, some people like thin, some people like tall, short, blonde, brunette, etc., and if you don’t find me, or anyone, attractive solely because of their weight, you should know that not all 7 billion human beings on this planet are trying to impress you. 

I’m not being rude at all, just realistic.
