So there are a lot of interesting portrayals in the media about men who prefer the chubby healthy mama type of woman. I always thought that was really awesome. But is that the case in real life? Movies also mostly show thin women getting the star of the show. What kinds of conceptions do men have about size when choosing their female partners? Is there a difference between what size female they choose for short and long term? My friend said that evolutionarily men are attracted to women with wider hips because that means an easier childbirth. Is that even true? If yes, does that mean that men look for wives who are a healthier size that their short-term girlfriends? Does our body size even matter? I guess so, but does it matter from the perspective of the man or does it matter how the size of a woman impact her self-confidence and thus impacts her attractiveness to men?

So many questions….I just know that sometimes when I go to a party the way I feel about my size impacts my self-confidence. I wish this was not the case, but it is. I find that men are more likely to talk to me when I feel less fat. But that’s the tricky part. Is it that I am less fat or that I FEEL less fat that makes me more attractive?
