"I may be fat, but I beat my eating disorder"

[CapnAwesome]

We really shouldn't go down the road of what looks we're personally attracted to here, that's completely harmful and beside the point.

I note that I didn't bring it up, actually I think the original post brought it up. That fat is fine and attractive and whatever. My point is that no matter how many times someone says this or tries to redefine beauty it's never going to change my or countless other men's opinion on the subject. We are attracted to what we are attracted to. It's one thing to be okay with yourself and an entirely different thing to expect everybody else to be okay with it. Which is what society is increasingly pushing on people. Also I think that many overweight girls are huge hypocrites on the issue of body acceptance. If you take the original post, it's very easy to spin that idea that somehow there is something wrong with skinny girls. It's arguably more societally acceptable for someone to say they are only attracted to fat women. If someone says they are not attracted to fat women or only attracted to in shape women they get called a bigot or told they are being hurtful or some such. It's a total double standard and shouldn't be construed as hurtful anyway. Like I would be upset because not every girl in the world is attracted to me!

Also muscular women face at least an equal social stigma as fat women. People, and often times other women, are comfortable trashing on women for looking too much like a man just because she works out or might have a predisposition to gain muscle easily.
