And just to clarify, I'm talking about physical attractiveness.
Nope. A skinny person is presumed to be less unattractive than if that same person was fat. Skinny does not equal attractive.

ok, was gonna stay out of the rest of this but this is just outright wrong.
BY DEFINITION: attractiveness is totally subjective, fat, skinny, black white, green....5 heads or a long scaley tail......please dont attempt to define attractiveness. YOU cannot do so for anyone but YOURSELF.

"A skinny person is presumed to be less unattractive than if that same person was fat. "
what an entirely over the top generalization that I have to say I resent. Please, dont speak for me on such a subject.

Oh Jack.. I dont think thats what he meant.

Take a deep breath and hang in there. I have never met Sz.. but I think I can say that in no way is that what he was trying to do.

You're absolutely right! I can't dictate you what you or any specific person feels. I can report on national averages, or even overwhelming majorities though. When speaking about matters of personal taste, it's inherent in the subject that individual tastes will vary. I sort of figured we were all hip to that and that it didn't need to be mentioned.

To put it a different way, I have never said that every single person in the country likes the taste of chocolate. Obviously some people don't like it, may be allergic to it, etcetera. But it's obvious to pretty much everyone, chocolate is very, very popular. So if I make an egregious generalization that people love chocolate, to me it's assumed that there are exceptions to the rule that are so obvious, they don't need to be stated.

By all means, resent it as much as you like. Your or my resentment of a generalization does not change the fact that the generalization may, in fact, be accurate.
