If women are so insecure about their bodies, why are fat & unattractive women so confident talking to men?

Indicator traits are those that signal good overall quality of the individual. Traits that are perceived as attractive must reliably indicate broad genetic quality in order for selection to favor them and for preference to evolve. The good genes hypothesis states that the choosy sex will mate with individuals who possess traits that signify overall genetic quality.

In doing so, they gain an evolutionary advantage for their offspring through indirect benefit.

Pmaxu is right. It is cultural. In areas of the world where people are starving, a fat woman is considered healthier to bred with.

There are mothers who still fatten up their daughters in third world countries, if they can. If they can, it is a sign of health and wealth to them. So not all men see fat women as ugly.

In westernized countries it is seen as unhealthy, as in clogged arteries and such. We know more about being overweight and are more educated about it. Men do not like super skinny women either.

It is a sign of bad health too. A lot of men like some meat on a woman, but not an excessive amount. He does not want a woman who is too skinny or too fat, as both are unhealthy.

In modern society a man sees a fat wife as a burden to feed and thinks she can not do as much as a thinner woman. She will not be as helpful and magazines make a fat woman out to be highly unattractive to western men. Not so in a country where people are starving.

It is cultural and you can not say that it is all men everywhere.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
