Conditioned. Trust me if you change every single model in the world to a fat chick, we won't see some massive shifting of preferences or strip clubs full of fat women.
It boils down to attraction. Some men don't find bigger women attractive. Some do. Some like in between. If someone doesn't like your body type either find someone who does or do something about it (if nothing else to improve your health).

Hey, congrats and great job. Every 10 pounds you lose is a victory... they say you reduce your chances of diabetes, heart attack, cancer, stroke, dementia, etc with every 10 pounds. And every pound you lose is the equivalent of 4 pounds less stress on joints like the knee. You have taken 240 pounds of strain off you joints with the weight you lost! Keep up the good work!
its just how you brain is wired. some guys like obese women, some heavy women, some skinny women and some even like men. There really is no way to explain why. personally I like skinny women without a big butt and any sized breasts will due as long as they are not fake. being an onbese man it might seem shallow that im not into big women but it is what it is. I got lucky enough to marry a woman that meets my standards and obviously my wife has been asked why such a small woman would be with such a fat person. there is no explaining attraction.
I want to know why women are pushing this bigger/overweight agenda as being better. Let's face it being overweight isn't healthy plain and simple. I'll take 5-15 lbs overweight but not much more. It's just unattractive.
Not all men like big breasts or butts. Preferences vary. A lot of men prefer thin, athletic or average build, and that's okay. There are indeed women with these physiques who are also endowed in multiple areas.
Just a matter of preference. Just like I have a preference for chiseled features and facial symmetry.
This is 100% cultural, so it's not appropriate to state that this is "a lot of men."
White men typically like their women very thin.
Black men typically like their women not thin, but also with larger bottoms.
Hispanic men typically like their women not thin as well...and with larger bottoms and breasts.
And of course, these general patterns may differ depending on what state you are referring to.
I'm a feminist and I don't fight this stuff. In fact, I don't agree with most of what the "fat acceptance" movement puts forth, namely that one can be "fit and fat" at the same time, because that is pure, unadulterated b.s. While there is a broad range of pounds in the healthy range for any given height, and while being 10 or 15 pounds over or under isn't going to do too much to someone who is at least of average height, obesity, as clinically defined, in both men and women costs the U.S. more than terrorism, substance abuse, war, accidents, and crime combined, never mind the misery and suffering it ultimately causes people and their families.
What I fight is shaming people, and what I fight is the notion that someone's competence, talent, and worth as a human being are determined by her weight and how she looks.
There is a difference, and it is unfortunate that so many people on either side of the debate cannot see that. Human physiology doesn't particularly care if you get butt-hurt that your doctor tells you that you need to lose 50 pounds. You're still going to get diabetes. You're still going to die a premature death. So doctors should not be pressured into lying to you about your fitness and health just to avoid hurting your feelings or pride. But people don't need to be rude and obnoxious to you if you do need to lose 50 pounds, either, nor is anyone's body public property to pass comments on. Way too many people pass nasty comments to overweight people in restaurants and things like that. Those people are douchebags. Thing is, an overweight person can lose weight. Douchebags need to do a whole lot more than that to make themselves appealing to anyone who is not also a douchebag.

I don't think it is a matter of being better. I think it's a matter of dealing with fact. 70% of the US is overweight or obese. The majority of people are not skinny.
I personally love big women, but the issue I run into is that most of them don't like big guys. I'd love to say that is hypocritical but I can't deny anyone the right to their preferences and prejudices when they decide who they are going to get into a dating situation with.

My large girlfriend, who I think is incredibly beautiful, is engaged to a very large man. Don't lose hope. Heavy or not, there is a woman you will find attractive who will also find you attractive!!
