Do we personally find obesity unattractive or is it the society that shapes that negative view on obesity in us?

Question

I can't find her body mass in the body mass index below. So she is more obese than the extremely obese body. 👇🏻

It is both, but to speak for everyone is not possible considering everyone has their own preferences on what they like and don’t like and what they are attracted to and not attracted to. Me personally is not attracted to girls that size but I know some guys that are , so for each their own I guess, I just mind my own business when it comes to friends going for girls that I don’t find attractive , the way I look at it is , if they are happy that’s all that matters, I don’t judge people off of looks , just because I am not attracted to someone doesn’t mean that they are an asshole , now if I think they are assholes and have a shitty personality then yes I will tell my friend my thoughts on their personality, but looks, I don’t go there , unless they ask me what do I think , and I will be honest , they aren’t my type, but if you like her go for it , you’re the one sticking your dick in it not me lol I hate when people tell others that they can do better than that, based off of looks. Just because you don’t find someone attractive doesn’t mean someone else won’t , Shit I know attractive girl’s that I told my friends to stay away from cuz they were gold digger whores and sluts that aren’t loyal to anyone so yes I will stop my friend from going for that lol

Of course we discuss obesity only when it comes to FAT women who can't put the fork down. And how we are all supposed to accept them and fall in love with them. When a man is obese he's just a fat fuck who must "man up" and take care of himself.

I think obesity is extremely disgusting and unattractive. It should not be accepted as the norm. These are people who refuse to accept that they are literal fat asses who need to get the fuck up and go exercise and eat healthier foods besides birthday cake ice crean and McDonald's.

I saw this obese dude at Sam's Club one day get out of his car, and his stomach went all the way to his knees almost. He had like 5 kids and his slim-ish wife was rounding them all up and taking care of them. What SERIOUSLY made me mad, though. This dude was in one of those grocery cart things meant for people disabled individuals. And he was in one.

The fucking fat, lard ass was in one of them. I was with my mom and I was like, "Are you fucking serious? He's too much of a fat ass to get up and walk around, so he has to occupy this thing while someone who is REALLY disabled may need it?". That was so disrespectful to REAL disabled people. This obesity shit is getting out of hand and is really pissing me off. Accept that you people are fucking fat and lose some weight, Jesus Christ.

Obesity is unattractive because it's objectively ugly and unhealthy. Yuck, that is disgusting! People like that won't make it to 50.

melanieeeB · Answer

It is unattractive and unhealthy. This is a fact. Nobody likes death.

Oigit · Answer

I find it unattractive. The main reason being that I was raised by a mother that had serious medical issues. It very much played into being forced to grow up fast and several points growing up where I had to help my mother raise my younger brother. Also I do find it lazy. On several occasions my mother was going through cancer treatments and raising two kids on her own. Being lazy and not pushing forward regardless of how bad things where was not an option. If it was not for being raised in in that kind of environment there have been times where I would have laid down and probably prayed for death. It was never an option because I never allowed it to be. So I look at obesity as something people allow to be an option.

MCheetah · Answer

It's literally just looks. No one gives a flying f*ck about their "health" when looking at SSBBW females.

I get annoyed when people lie and act all disingenuous about it. You don't like super-fat women? That's a-okay. But don't lie about it and claim you care about their "health" when you f*cking don't (as if most of you have good health, anyway; most of you drink and smoke). That's the only thing that annoys me, since I'm overweight myself, but active, and people just assume I'm lazy gluttonous who sits on my ass all day. I do kickboxing, so I'm probably more active than half of you out there.

Personally, I wouldn't say no to any of these women, but they are a bit heavy, even for me.

AmandaYVR · Answer

Society is society. Our views shape how we feel about everything.
The fact is that being overweight might have been very useful in times of famine, etc., but it's the opposite now. We are in a perpetual state of virtual feast. And being severely overweight creates all sorts of related health problems. And poor health equals partners who may become a burden. They can't do as much active stuff, and they may die earlier, leaving the person without their partner.
So it's not a purely superficial metric of beauty, desire, and attractiveness.

Pleaznhim4me · Answer

Obesity is when someone is significantly overweight meaning extremely large. So they most likely are pre-diabetic with high cholesterol and they are putting extreme stress on their organs including heart, lungs, bones and fatty liver. The body and skin becomes lumpy, stretched and distorted. The skin also becomes infected easier has edema more often and fungal infections. This also means that food is more important to them then their health which would indicate that they have an addiction. So there really isn’t anything attractive about that situation or person at all.

Subarugirl · Answer

Attractiveness is heavily influenced by society.
During the Middle Ages an open, expansive face was partly achieved by scraping back the hair and hiding it under a hood or veil-which also conformed with the church’s moral policy. However, a high hairline was required to give a lady’s face maximum exposure. Not every woman had a naturally high forehead. So, to raise their beauty rating, Medieval ladies raised their hairlines artificially

Do we personally find obesity unattractive or is it the society that shapes that negative view on obesity in us?

Foot binding was a started during the Tang Dynasty

In ancient Greece Ideal beauty standards for women were those who were plump and full bodied.

During the Italian renascence an ample bosom, rounded stomach and full hips were the standard of beauty.

In Victorian England, Women were expected to be pleasantly plump, full figured, with a waist synched with a corset.

Lori11 · Answer

Any adult can do what they want with their body.
I totally disagree with the "fat acceptance" self love bs, some body types are thinner, others thicker, but almost everybody can have healthy weigh (I know some people have hormonal issues that complicate this, but that's other topic). Obesity is wrong, it's incredible how many people are saying it's ok and to accept their obese bodies as they are. Those people are not healthy, that's just as wrong as anorexia. They're hurting themselves, they have a problem with food and, in this crazy days, instead of getting help, they're told they are perfect, beautiful and healthy.

shaysh87 · Answer

Not all "overweight" is unattractive. I've personally met a lot of guys throughout my life who do like thick girls, but not necessarily obese women. Then there are guys who do like obese women. Lets not judge each other for our own personal preferences. Not everyone is attracted to the same thing.

Same for women. Some women do not like muscular guys but skinny guys. Then there are women who are only attracted to muscular guys. You can't just generalize what is attractive for the entire world. There is no rule.

Киттйлинк · Answer

it's unattractive by nature because the fatter you are the more health problems you "may" have and the more health problems you have the more difficult it 'may' be to reproduce and men in general are attracted to women who can bare children which is why they are attracted in general to some with small waist big hips not so much giant.

yet people now perfect the body to a T and then also photoshop alongside surgeries which makes us see the average attractive body that is NOT fat, not be so attractive because we compare it to 'perfection' but in general with or without all the perfected version, humans are NOT attracted to fat no shape bodies by nature.

RealMarek · Answer

The instinct to find obesity unattractive is a product of human evolution, not a social construct. When it comes to female attractiveness specifically, the preference for skinnier or more voluptuous women is a style that shifts with economic and social circumstances, but in all cases the majority of men (there are always exceptions and individuals that pursue evolutionary dead-ends) prefer a waist-to-hip ratio of about 0.7 and a lack of excessive body fat because this signals health and fertility. Keep in mind that men don’t consciously think “oh, she looks healthy and fertile.” They just know the woman is attractive. No amount of feminist indoctrination will change this reality.

DamnSam · Answer

It's clearly made by society, like tons of other stuff which doesn't fit on the mainstream line... like feminine men or masculine women...

Also the culture and how rich a country is counts into that... history shows that pretty clear

Poor countries tend to worship fat bodies bc simply it's a sign to be rich bc everybody is poor... in rich countries its the other way arround bc everyone could get fat easily...

You can look that up for Europe or USA when they where poor, like from ww1 until ~70'

It's funny to me that I usual fall for chick's like on the last pic, fall hard... 😆

Guess what, society sees me mostly as creep bc it's seen as gross... but I give a fck

HighValue · Answer

Aren't those pictures just average Americans? lol  I have always found it to be gross when someone is huge like that. I don't even want them hugging me if they are a relative.

VikingWarLord · Answer

Obesity shows you're a gawdam LAZY Fat Land-Hippo who doesn't even care about your own gawdam health! Walking around with all that extra fat also puts you at risk for innumerable diseases (mainly of the heart) and destroys your joints and tendons (especially knees) . Fat is unattractive because it says a lot about a person who allows themselves to get so damn big.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Its biological. When i was younger i always thought i wanted a thick girl due to media. Not like above but like rap video girls. But then when i actually got with a thin girl (and i didn't even want her really) i got so much harder and turned on than ever before. Now I've fucked tons of women and I've found i have an attraction for thin, feminine, young women. Shit just happens to be the same stuff the patriarchy always said men like. I just didn't think it until i tried it and believed the popular media i was exposed to.

Elise888888 · Answer

Obesity is extremely bad for your health first and foremost. If you are obese you should work with a medical doctor or psychologist to make a plan to become healthier. Obesity can lead to serious serious health problems. Plus, it feels great to be in shape. That doesn't mean skinny, it just means that it feels great to be in shape.

Anonymous · Answer

Just imagine this lady getting the miss universe with her current body, being obese is her choice but people liking her because she's obese is not something she can impose on. Just imagine a lady if she had a choice to go for a healthy guy or pig ass fat guy who would she choose. You getting my point right you can't impose someone to like you, it's their choice and their opinion on what they like or not.

notwoke · Answer

people are instinctively looking for a partner who is healthy enough to raise children, protect them, help them etc. and for someone who has great genetic potential to share their dna with. Lack of mobility, high blood pressure diabetes, emotional problems and an early death are not sexy!

Apulu_3 · Answer

It is unattractive and extremely unhealthy too. It also says that the person is careless and lazy. It is both. It is unattractive and also very negative. No complaints if due to some medical conditions though.

Lolaaa53553373333 · Answer

It is unhealthy and unattractive because that's what it is, so yes I personally find it this way and feel like most people would agree regardless of media and whatever

PapaDad · Answer

Evolutionarily speaking men and women are attracted to healthy people. A lot of people have a weird idea that underweight is more attractive, but most people I know have a range of shapes and sizes they like. It rarely goes into the obese range, and probably practically never goes into extremely obese.

Fortunately, there ARE other things people find attractive in each other, and I know happy obese married couples.

TheMajesticKing777 · Answer

Nope they are unattractive cause it's just simply not appealing to the eyes, compared to a girl that slimmer or whatnot, this is of course speaking of obesity, when a girl is a bit thicker or a bit chunkier and even chubby is still attractive to the eyes well to some more than others, now don't get me wrong there's people out there that have a thing for huge people but I'm speaking for the most part.

AviatorTom · Answer

Extreme obesity is unattractive because of an inbred instinctive response. Instinctively, we select mates based on their health to provide for healthy offspring and extreme obesity looks unhealthy and unable to do that.

Moderate obesity (aka slightly overweight) is unattractive because society says so.

Staximus · Answer

Because it's unhealthy. That woman could drop dead from a heart attack any time after 45. Not to mention that her legs look like a pile of chewed bubble gum instead of normal legs. I don't think most people mind a few extra pounds, but that's not just a few.

pleasestopthis · Answer

It's both. It's physically unattractive and it also has negative social connotations because it's as bad (or worse) as it looks. Obese people are often perceived as lazy, neglectful people, with no self control, which are unattractive qualities. They can't work when they reach a certain point and they become a burden to their families and to the system.

Anonymous · Answer

Obesity isn't to be considered a defining characteristic, like freckles or a missing limb. It is a preventable disease. Those who are obese are sick, and those who try to paint it positively in society are enablers.
The same goes for any other preventable and unhealthy state of being. Most of society is only doing what's right, unless there is an upcoming famine in which people will need to survive on their own fat stores.

TheBigGuy9 · Answer

We find it unattractive. You like lifting a man’s guy up to see his cock? If he has too small of a dick, he might not be able to have sex with you because his gut is hitting you. Then there is the health factors. Nothing good comes from being fat.

Anonymous · Answer

Society has made us believe that fat people are fat because they don't eat healthy and that they're so lazy to do exercise (and that is unattractive). Which is totally false and many factors can come up to their difficulty of losing weight. politistic ovaries for example, or muscular mass.

LauraFalls83 · Answer

Obesity means high intake of calories and lack of movement. It may also be perceived as a synonym of decent income/power (in the past only rich/powerful people would put on weight = eat big amounts of food while not having to work the land)

Nowadays, it’s perceived as an unhealthy consequence of modern society in the western world.

Throwdownxxx · Answer

I think it’s hard for most folks to be attracted to someone who is so obviously unhealthy, unless they themselves follow the same unhealthy lifestyle.

However, I know people can be attracted to those types of people who are trying to turn their lives around and show almost impossible dedication and fight to change.

Personally, I’m attracted to fit and healthy. Physically and mentally.

Jintendo18 · Answer

We’re typically attracted to indicators of good health, and obesity is far from healthy.

It’s instinctual. We are attracted to people that appear fertile and healthy. People tend to gain weight as they age, so obesity is also a sign of aging and lost vitality.
