Now now! Why so judgmental? Why, haven't you heard of the "body
positive" movement? It's dedicated to pointing out the beauty and
sexiness of what used to be considered extra weight! See

Don't try to lose weight! Have more potato chips! Dunlap's disease* is
trendy!

I'm not being judgmental. Have you ever seen a fat woman with her
clothes off :-?

Yes and one of the things I learnt early in life, it that different
people have different tastes.

and this turns you on?

It seems there's a long (pre)history of men being fascinated by obese
women: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Hohle_Fels

Not me, though. Tastes vary.

Ah, but it is generally understood that those pre-historic female
figures were fertility symbols... In fact, your reference describes
them as, possibly, "a hope for survival and longevity, within
well-nourished and reproductively successful communities".

Rather than the representation of "the girl I'd like to haul back to
the cave" :-)

So does John as he looks in the mirror.

Ah, Tommy, there you go, blathering on about something about which you
know absolutely nothing....

Which rather proves the old saw that, "Genius may have its

Do not do an image search for BBW. Some things should not be seen.

Interesting or not, doing random searches for "bicycle" leads to similar
results. It is hard to get past one of the four major uses of the
internet.

when starvation is a regular facit of life, obesity was seen as a sympton
of leading a successful and desireable life. Hence the early figurines
and laer such images as on the Uncle Toby's sauce bottle.

Obviously your cave is not in cold climes.

And we have a winner here. Much like pale skin was an indicator of feminine
beauty for millennia, because only women who were rich enough to not have
to go out and toil in the fields all day could avoid tanning. Only after
enough work shifted indoors could having enough spare time to lie outside
in the sun be deemed sexy.

It may also explain niche styles like Chinese foot binding, enormous
hairstyles in 18th century France, powdered wigs on men, etc.

But I'm not sure it works for extreme corsets on women, porkpie hats or
striped bell bottoms.

As I say, fashion is weird and powerful.

A light skin is still an indication of the upper class in countries
where people still work with their hands, out of doors.

Of course, in Western Europe and America things have come a full
circle and a brown skin, particularly in the midst of winter is now a
mark of those wealthy enough to take their vacation in the Caribbean
