I have seen some great looking people that would be considered overweight to a lot of people. Some of them can run circles around the smaller people. It depends on the person. I think that if a person tries to be neat and together then it makes all of the difference. Because of society, many people give up on their looks once they reach a certain size. Which is very sad. I am naturally small but if I gained some weight (pregnant now) I would still strut. Everyone should.

The media has nothing to do with the fact that most people don't find over-weight people attractive. Its unhealthy and not aesthetically pleasing.
There wasn't a guild of thin people who said, "from this day forward, fat people are seen as unattractive". It is what it is.

Cottage cheese, cellulite, wrinkles, folds, rolls, etc.
I guess some people think this is sexy but most people think it's disgusting. I think there could also be a species preservation thing going on. People want to breed with another person that looks and is healthy so their offspring are the same. Good genes are attractive.

It's become the cultural norm, therefore sa simple opinion. However most appearance opinions are based on ability, and fat people are less able than people who maintain the bod.

Too much of anything is not good.
I used to live in Hawaii and in their ancient culture, only the royalty was overweight.I am thin but two of my male cousins are over 340lbs.each. They are not physically healthy,I think that is the issue,it is not healthy.

I think that it depends on how obese a person is. I would think that most people associate extreme obesity with laziness and gluttony...which most people do not think fondly of. Some people are more judgemental than pthers and it is all about perception.

i dont know who but i know why at ne point people were considered obese were very attractive becuase to be obese uyou would need money to eat also sicklynes cause you to be thin people had a practical use for being bigger there for it was good now being bigger is a sign of not caring about your self people care about people who care about themself ( I am not saying biger people do not care jus tit is a sign)

Have you ever seen a fat person naked? It's not real sexy and people are always thinking about sex.
