Its just fat and skin, why do people not like fat people for a partner? I could see a girl with a pretty face and immediately disqualify her because of her weight. Am I trained by society or do I actually not like her?
Basically. In Africa larger women are seen as attractive since to them that shows they're healthy since they associate skinny women with AIDS. In the US and western counties where we don't have the same AIDS epidemic obesity just shows poor health so it's not as attractive to us. Years ago being overweight meant you can afford to buy food so that was seen as attractive. It's less about biology and more environmental factors that determine what we find attractive. There was even a study where people from an African county who had found larger women more attractive while they lived there changed their views after they moved to a European county.
