I like curves but not excessively overweight women. The girl in the article photo on the right is way to big and needs to lose about 50lbs before I'm going to want to see her modeling anything. The other three are fairly attractive.

That's not true. That's just your opinion. It also doesn't make any sense logically. If most women are overweight then it would follow that most women aren't sexy. Yet how are they getting married and having babies? Are they all single and lonely? Are all the men that are with them doing it out of pity and aren't sexually attracted to them?

Nope.

Most men are overweight? Hello, it's not just women. And one doesn't have to be sexy to get maid or apparently married.

There are physically ugly people in the world who do get married. Not everyone is beautiful, so that doesn't make any sense.

Overweight being common doesn't mean it's any more acceptable or attractive. If it was more attractive would this thread have been made? Would SI have out Chrissy Teigen and whoever else on the cover, or would they have put some sloppy average chick?

Those chicks are still considered better looking. The rest of the world has no problem putting the fork down but women & men in America lack self control and expect the standard of beauty to change for them.

I guess people online like to fight against reality, huh

I had posted a video for Destination XL in my earlier post, but, I don't see it in that post, not sure if it was cut or something I did wrong when I posted it.

Two fat ugly people can find each other sexy. You and a small group of people who share your opinion don't get to determine what the rest of the world views. Nor do you have the monopoly of the use of certain terms.

Of course they can find each other sexy. But the reality is most people do not perceive overweight people as attractive.

Aside from those with fetishes, most men do not actively seek overweight women. Some might settle (big guys aren't settling though, they're no better), but few actively seek.

That's like saying pretty faces aren't preferred over ugly faces.
You can deny that, but it doesn't change reality.

Actually there are some men out there who prefer big women. It's silly to think that with the billions of men in the world, none of the, would prefer and seek out big women. Is it the norm? Probably not....but chubby chasers do exist.

But most people are overweight according to the fashion and modeling world. So in reality, most people DO perceive overweight people as attractive.

That was my point. I even acknowledged that they do exist. But like you said, it's not the norm and they're not in the majority.
Heck, in some cultures a bigger woman means wealth because it means the man can provide $ to feed his family.
