On Fit Men & Fat Women

I'm a fat woman. I'm very open about it. No catfishing. I may not post a lot of body pics (because I hate my body), but I never portray myself as anything I am not.

But I'm gonna be honest....the majority of men who make passes at me are fit men. Like, I'm talking muscular, spend-every-spare-moment-at-the-gym types. Even my own bf is a very fit guy who regularly works out and runs long distance.

This has always confused me. 😕 Society has drilled it into the minds of women that they have to look like one of these 3 body types or they're hideous and undesirable:

So naturally I'm baffled af when a fit dude is into me. What is this about?? What is the appeal for these dudes who spend their lives trying to be shredded, to want to be with women who have the physical measurements of the Stay Puft marshmallow man? 🤔

There doesn't seem to be much rhyme nor reason as to why certain people get together. Now in the case of those body types you showed, I think a lot of men just figure that most of those women are either taken or would not be interested so they go for someone who's more of a normal build because they figure they would stand a better chance. They know if they are dating some model like those body types you showed, they would be in constant Jeopardy of losing those women to another man. This is just kind of speculation but like I said there's not much logic as to who gets with who
