Is being skinny really that important to people?

So many fat women i know have had long term partners and are still in those relationships. And they're happy.

Its one of those the clothes don't make the man type situations. Those women's sizes has absolutely nothing to do with them having a relationship or even maintaining the relationship because they have to put in the work in order to sustain it. What i find sad is that society makes people believe that it matters. People have all sorts of reasons for the way that they look from genetics to unhealthy lifestyles to medical conditions. But the underlying reason matters not to society because everyone wants to keep up with the Jones'. Why cant we just accept how we look and age gracefully? And if we aren't satisfied with how we look we eat healthy, exercise, live healthier lives to change it and if nothing works we just accept it as who we are.
