<p>I think it is pretty obvious just from observing that supermodels are born one in a few million while fat girls are very numerous: biologically they are superior wrt supermodels. What I do not understand is why modern guys would go for the most evolutionary disadvantaged female. Except that this female is rare, so lest other males have her. I think it is mostly a media hype plus with a tint of pedophilia. I personally have no idea why else would someone like very skinny girls with little female defining features.</p>
<p>Apple green, I'm not sure that wide-hip genes always go along with fat-genes as most girls with normal weight have wide enough hips for childbirth without any complications. One doesn't have to be overweight for it. But fat girls may have an advantage feeding their children in times when food is limited. And at least they've got some mamary glands compared to thinner and more flat-chested girls.</p>
<p>"what about the increased risks of other diseases when you're fat? heart attacks? and whatever else has been linked to obesity."</p>
<p>All this other stuff comes when you're over 40-50 y.o. which few people lived to until recently. Fatness and obesity gave women an evolutionary advantage exactly when it was needed most: during their prime reproductive age, which is before a woman turns 40 and starts getting heart disease and such. I think this also refers most to people who are obese, i.e. 80 pounds over their normal weight. A girl who weights extra 20 pounds might have only a slight susceptibility.</p>
<p>liveforindie, it's ridiculous sometimes when I hear girls ***** about how fat they're getting. I've had friends stop eating thinking they would trim down like that (this doesn't exactly help). Others have gone to the gym because they think their fat (not because they want to stay healthy) and want to slim down.</p>
<p>Well it depends how tall they are. Height and weight go hand in hand. The taller you are, the more you weight, the more natural it looks. The shorter you are, the less you way, the more natural it looks.</p>

I guess I was using the word "fat" too liberally. I really meant that larger bone structure is more advantageous, and girls of this type tend to be labeled "fat" more readily. Personally, I've known several slender or petite women who have endured difficult pregnancies due to their less robust bone structure.</p>
<p>Because if you don't eat anything at all and only drink you'll last ~month. If you don't drink anything - about 3 days. If you don't eat anything with any calories (aka the "NK diet" or simply grass), you can still supply yourself with some other essential components of your diet, but not calories, and survive >month. </p>
<p>So imagine you're part of some tribe and you haven't seen any animals to kill and eat close to a month now. You and you fellow tribe members are rummaging around, walking, climbing. The hunger is so horrible that you chew on plants, leather clothing, old bones, make mud pies, do anything to quiet it down. Person with more fat will last longer in these conditions. They will have enough energy to keep on moving while they can also ingest minerals and vitamins from other sources in the environment that provide close to no calories.</p>
<p>And assuming that woman can move, she'll last way longer than you in these conditions.</p>
<p>lol. this thread's takien a thoroughly interesting turn. Personally, being skinny myself, I don't know if I'm alone in feeling this way, but in all the hype to not make fat ppl feel bad, ppl make it seem like its a horrible thing to be skinny. Seriously, you get ppl telling u how u should eat more and yada yada when you know, in fact, that their starving themselves to look like you.
I don't mean to sound full of myself or something. But I'm naturally really skinny and I do get fed up of ppl making it seem like its a sin.</p>
<p>Come on ladies...what do we care what high school boys' or college-age boys' that have not grown up preferences over women are. The ones asking for super model types are just little shallow boys looking to be disappointed if they want a true relationship at all :) Granted there are naturally skinny people as the girl above so readily stated she was :)...it's kind of bogus to dismiss all girls that arent a size negative 5.
Where are the real men these days...lol honestly</p>
<p>Who said it is a sin to be naturally skinny? It is a sin to be overweight and have woe is me attitude all the time. It is also a sin to make people feel bad because they carry extra pounds. Imagine what the fat girls must be feeling when they read this entire thread, where guys reject them left and right. It is one thing to have people tell you what to eat, but then you suspect that they secretly want to look like you which increases your self-confidence. It is another thing to have and overwhelming proportion of male population bash your looks left and right and reject you because of it even before meeting you. Sometimes it seems that in our day and age the prime criterion roughly half of guys uses to pick out future girlfriends is their weight. Excessive weight is also sometimes equaled in our society to laziness, lack of willpower, being sick otherwise, and lack of intellect. Skinny people just don't have all of this going for them. Although I bet it is unnerving for people to come up and ask you exactly which diet gave you such good results or start implying that you're nearly anorexic and should eat more.</p>
<p>Idea: Screw what guys think...Im a size 12 yes i said a size 12!! I like my womanly look anyway...and since im not usually attracted to guys my age...and they are the majority of the ones that look for this unrealistic type of girl...i have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>"Skinny people just don't have all of this going for them."</p>
<p>as a male, im skinny and have girly-looking wrists. Girls don't really dig that (except one aneroxic girls who told me my wrists were sexy), it kinda sucks.</p>
