Actually, throughout human history, being obese was considered attractive and helped you survive famine, so that argument doesnt really hold. I think if that was ever the case (which I doubt it was) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/28/history-of-obesity_n_6017176.html One specific period of paleolithic pre-history is not what I would call "Throughout human history". In fact, if the Venus Statues were legitimately beauty/fertillity idols during those periods (Which is far from a certainty), it is because being obese legitimately and uniquely was healthier than being fit in that specific period of humanity. That would be prior to settled agricultural societies, prior to common food preservation knowledge, and during a glacial period of general starvation. After the Ice Age and during most of recorded history, beauty depictions most commonly were of unobese women--Sometimes thicker, sometimes thinner, but uncommonly "obese". So as it turns out, yes, fat attraction does seem to correlate with perceived healthiness. --- // BEAUTY IS NOT LOVE - LOVE IS NOT MUSIC - MUSIC IS THE BEST - WISDOM IS THE DOMAIN OF THE WIZ--WHICH IS EXTINCT // http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:884194800] in Do straigh...
