“Fat Studies? Lol, you can’t make this stuff up!”

It’s a heavy course load. Actually, I’m waiting for the Trans-Fat studies to be offered.
Give it time.

LOL, what is that old saying about demand in one hand, crap in the other, and see which one fills up first?

If they can ever get a normal guy (one who isn’t disposed for some odd reason to overweight women) to pick an obese girl with a nice face over a shapely one with a nice face...I’ll eat my hat!

Just thumbing through the Hillsdale College course catalog. NO Fat Studies! My kid is getting ripped off there!

meh.. In fat Studies' place there is a pretty intense reading list to get through the "Great Books" graduation requirement.

Hillsdale Great Books 2016

When a woman at 5’ 5” and 210 pounds starts wearing the same swimming suits one would expect to see on a 5’ 5”,115 pound woman that woman shouldn’t be surprised if people stare,laugh and vomit.

“When oh Lord, when, will college professors stop making asses of themselves? “

When they are forced to get real jobs and no longer have the “luxury” of sitting around day after day, contemplating their navels. And the longer we allow, in the name of free speech, to fund these turds, the more trouble they will cause for society as a whole.

People like this nitwit feminist can tell us men all they want that fat is attractive

The "Get her a cheeseburger" crowd on FR would be among that crowd, they do not find athletic women attractive.

Like bill burr said. You are your way in, you can walk your way out. It’s not complicated.

I know just what you refer to, and to a degree, I understand that...however, when I think “athletic” woman, I am visualizing a woman who is a swimmer or an ice skater and such, which is fine to me, and I find them attractive, that is, they retain feminine contours to some degree, more or less.

They are, in general a bit less angular and wiry than some women who weight train extensively or engage in sports that mandate extremely low body fat. (Medically speaking, women in that class are often (but not always) going against the biological grain which is that women normally and naturally have a bit more body fat and a bit less muscle mass than men do.)

I can’t help it, but I am generally not attracted to wiry women who have arms and legs that look like guys, such as marathon runners or sprinters. I know that is a bit unfair, because how can one excel at those things without being somewhat stringy and lean? I find the concept of high-level female body builders to be very unattractive to me at a fundamental level, doesn’t make them bad people or less female, but...I admit to given a choice between a heavier-set Kate Upton, or a nice looking woman with developed biceps with sinews or a distinct six-pack, I would go with a Kate Upton type.

OTOH, I am also not attracted to the models either who you sometimes see with their pelvic crests sticking out...that looks very unhealthy and unnatural to me.

Sigh. I am visually oriented and can’t get past that, I guess.

Re your post #31: My tastes in feminine curvitude pretty much parallel yours. But nobody cares anymore, LOL.

Heh, WE care, so...it counts to US!

You know, I generally don’t get on people about their weight, because so many people just can’t get a handle on it.

But I DO have an issue where they are getting on MY case for not accepting it as an attractive body type. That bothers me. I am willing to live and let live, but like so many things liberals are involved in, they can’t let it go at that.

They want to force you to THINK like they do, which is far more revolting to me in ways than a roll of body fat never could be.

Every nan has the Ideal woman imprinted on their mind, based on God knows what at puberty, each is different.

In the minds of most men is that a cow is a cow it implies a lack of self control and self indulgence.

If someone finds a woman like that attractive, I have no beef with that, that is their business.

I can safely say human norms across most cultures don’t idealize an extremely obese woman such as the one pictured, though there are some that do.
