I don't know about you, but I have seen people put on weight, and the beauty is still there. I saw an episode of "Fat Chef" with an obese man from Long Island, and just by looking at him, I still saw him as attractive. Sure enough, he showed an older picture of himself, and with less weight he looked even better. Jennifer Hudson was considered attractive even before she lost weight. Pierce Brosnan's wife, Keely Shaye Smith, put on a considerable amount of weight in the past ten years, but you can see she was/and still is attractive. Maybe I can see through these things, but real beauty can't be hidden.
The opposite can happen. When people lose weight,their skin get saggy and some actually become unattractive in the face because of the loss of fat in the face.
Other people lose their curves and shape when they lose weight.
I hear all the time how Jennifer Hudson became unattractive in the face with the weight loss.
Same with that plus sized model,Crystal Renn.

Usually a good body makes up for a bad face. But I just saw a commercial yesterday - I don't remember for what product - where the woman obviously was very well built. But her face (nasty teeth! ) was so unattractive that I immediately marveled at how ugly she looked.

Just look at Hillary Swank, Jamie Lee Curtis, or Sarah Jessica Parker.
To me Swank has an average face and nice body; Curtis above-average face and nice body; Parker, below-average face and nice body.

Conversely, beautiful faces on women who have more curves such as Queen Latifah, or the woman who plays Supernanny, Jo Frost are more attractive in my opinion.
Queen is fine, Frost is OK.

I personally know two women who are, at least facially, the hottest women I have ever seen. They are quite overweight but have very beautiful faces. They spend lots of time and effort on clothes, hair, makeup, etc. and one is even into cycling. I think they're both gorgeous.

She could be 5 9, have a big bone structure, killer curves and DDD breasts. The crocodile will get in bed with her in a heart, pancreas and liverbeat, and work his way up. <sniff sniff>

No way. No friggin' way. Not buying it. B.S. Well, YOU could find a 75 pound overweight woman attractive, but not me.

With all other things being equal (personality, niceness, etc.) would you choose the 75 pound overweight mastadon, or this dainty, delicate butterfly angel in this commercial?

Queen is fine, Frost is OK.

There's something about Swank's face which I'd say makes her not conventionally attractive...but I admire her for her acting ability more than her looks. She's good at pulling off tough looks.

JLC has a very average face...not ugly but far from beautiful. Which is a surprise consider her mother was in my opinion one of the most beautiful actresses in history.

SJP? The less said about her the better. Her annoying character on SATC didn't help lol. I can see why Matt cheated on her, just joking .
