Why do women chat with or compliment bigger guys if they prefer skinny men?

Why do women talk or send comments to heavy men when they prefer skinny men?

Unless the woman has explicitly stated that she prefers skinny men then I wouldn’t just outright make that assumption. Plenty of us don’t mind, and care most about fundamental things, like compatibility, consistency, etc. It’s usually men who are more shallow, because they’re more into the physical while women are more emotional and usually make connections with men based off what we feel not what we see.

Everyone has a type. Some may prefer a larger guy.

Women may see a fat guy as a decent fun smart guy to talk to or hang out with even if they're not lusting after him between the sheets. That's the way I am with chunky women. I'm never gonna date them but that doesn't mean they aren't good friend material.

They generally prefer fit men, not skinny men.
