      I don’t get the reason for posting all these magic numbers with no source, especially since it is about preference of something that is considered a “taboo” and many will refuse to properly state them, under a completely unrelevant post. So even if there is a source for these, both if the poll is in person or online, they are very unreliable.

      Not to deny the minority that are people that highly prefer a fat person/partner, especially since I am both one and prefer one. I am not here to conquer every single person that sees me even if I was the complete opposite and be jacked, because that is simply unrealistic.

      I am myself, with my personality and a body I feel comfortable in.

        Me neither, it implies that dating is just basic stats. Which no, because dating preferences aren’t independent variables. If you score low with a potential partner on a particular quality that doesn’t mean they’ve rejected you, unless that quality is a deal breaker. They are variable’s that are dependent to and from other variables, how are you with pets, are you pursuing a life goal you have set out for yourself, how are your relationships with others, ect.

      Wait what? Men are naturally bigger with more muscle. Is the study implying most women prefer skinny marathon runners instead of bodybuilders?

      Physical attractiveness isnt the only kind. Lots of dummy guys get got chicks by being funny or kind.
