I'm very picky when it comes to hot women and their weight level. I have high standards.
There are plenty of attractive women of an ideal weight here in MO. I could name a ton of places to find them but I think there is a limit to how many characters you can put in a post here on C-D.

Just an FYI, not being able to attract one is not necessarily 100% their fault. Stating that they are "fat hoosiers" and being "very picky" is a definite turn-off for most women as they are very likely to think you are a massive jerk. Besides, looks aren't the end-all be-all. You have to be able to live with her too, unless all you want to do is be a playboy and have a bunch of short-term relationships. That only works until you get old and then you're just that nasty creepy old guy hitting on younger chicks. We've all seen "that guy" and we'd laugh at him if it weren't so disgusting.

I'd be cautious about casting too wide a net about the southern states as well. It is well known that they have some of the most beautiful women in the country in SEC country.

I think it is a couple of very distinct groups that drive those types of statistics and they are not very meaningful to make generalizations across whole regions of the country or even whole states.

You'll also notice that Indiana and Michigan are of the same obesity ratings as Missouri. That does not make them Southern either. I think you're just using this to try and make Missouri Southern, like you always do. You're going to have to explain away Indiana and Michigan before you can really strongly support your case.

I think you have me confused with someone else. I'm on record saying St. Louis is solidly midwestern and the south doesn't start until somewhere between Cape and Sikeston.

I'm just saying (i) Missouri has a lot of great looking women who are not fat; and (ii) so does the south (including Mississippi (think Ole Miss), Alabama, etc). Obesity rates are a poor indicator of the overall attractiveness and thinness of the general female population.

The flaw in the chart is its using total population, men and women...
Look at Cali, us fat guys all have hot chicks, they're all hot....

Agreed there is little development outside of metro areas in Illinois. But, Illinois is the #2 corn producer after Iowa, and the #1 soybean producer, in the nation. There is only one large MSA between Chicago and St Louis, and at 500,000 it's not that large anyway. It is what it is. Missouri is kind of in the same boat. There is not many large communities between KC and St. Louis. It's been a number of years since I've been in MN, but I don't remember many large cities north of Minneapolis. Most states are not dominated by one super metro. California can't be used as a comparison with 38M population, two Alpha cities (LA and SF), plus San Jose, and San Diego in the south. LA is 1/10 the population. Chicago and Cook County (second largest in nation) combined has 2/3 of the state population. It is a big imbalance.

NY might be a better comparison to California. Might.

I think Texas is a better comparison. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin. Texas is the 2nd most populated state. New york is 4th, and doesn't have much outside of NYC.

Lordy, guys. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! All states have both fat women and thin women. Flow charts and demographics are as baseless and useless as the "top ten" state lists on Yahoo or MSN. Fat people become thin in a year's time. Thin women become fat in even less time. Either way the conversation is ridiculous. Move on, folks...Move on.

Yes. I did have you confused with someone else. Sorry
