Discussion shouldnt fat people be more biologically attractive?

[HiddenUzer]

think of this, a fat person have more calories accumulated on his body therefore he needs less food in order to survive, in a competitive survival situation being fat is an indication that they are the top predator therefore the influx of food, shouldn't female be more attracted to fat man than skinny man?

 

[Incelius Savage]

Fat people run out of breath easily, have bad stamina, and have health conditions.

Fat people are fat because they don't burn as many calories. They are good at surviving famines but if skinny people are burning more calories then they must have more energy going to the important bits: lungs, heart, brain, etc.

The skinny people are the predators because they know they're going to have enough to eat so they can afford to burn more calories.

There is actually evidence to suggest that being fat was once an attractive trait. There are plenty of stone carvings from the Paleolithic depicting fat women. This suggests that in an era were life was harsh and starvation was common, high bodyfat might have been a characteristic associated with fertility.

Of course obesity is now associated with disease because we live in a time were food is plentiful. This is probably partially reinforced by culture.

Natural selection is more complicated than that, i.e no use evolving brain areas to find overweight people attractive if you never see them. They basically didn't exist for 95% of human history.
