Those thing are not mutually exclusive, anon. Modern research actually proves that women are attracted to money. Not as in utilitarian attraction, but sexual one. Cash literally gets their pussy wet.

Reminder that "fat" is a relative term. The whale in your pic straight out wouldn't exist before the industrial age.
Guys like pic related were circus attractions before the 19th century. So when you read "fat" in historical documents, mentally revise it into "quite chubby".

I kinda doubt it.
I can certainly see slightly more chubby women beeing the attractive norm, just look at ancient statues / pictures, but they're hardly ever outright fat.
I would argue that the human 'instinct' for attractivness can certainly be influenced, but only so far.

I know in several indigenous Polynesian cultures, large women were held as an ideal, as they represented those who came from families with wealth. This suggests that at least to a fair extent, beauty is a social construction. Even along the short timeline of American history, the ideal of feminine beauty has shifted in regards to "appropriate" size, and most people know that the pin-up girls of the '30s and '40s would generally be considered "plus-size" models in today's fashion industry. There is certainly no evidence to suggest a genetic component to what we find sexually attractive, or any universal guidelines to support a standard ideal of beauty.

I don't even know why I'm answering this question other than the sheer charity of giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you are just amazingly ignorant. Fat people fuck just like other people. I've been from 300 pounds down to 150 and back up to 225 (I'm 6 foot), and I can assure you that sex is completely enjoyable at every size. You should really google some fat people porn if you want to study the mechanics.

>This suggests that at least to a fair extent, beauty is a social construction
Not really. What does "large woman" mean for an older civilization? Fat people were nowhere near the obese people of today and a chubby woman is found attractive more often than not.
Also, plus size models in the fashion industry are the non-superskinny regular models, not the chubby women you see on ads

You didn't really understand what I said: there's a certain amount of fat that a woman can have on her and still be considered attractive by a fair number of men. In the past, when people were most likely thin/skinny, having said amount of bodyfat was enough for that person to be considered fat while nowadays the same amount of bodyfat isn't uncommon anymore and we use the word fat to describe people larger than that, so the beauty standard didn't change, just what we imagine when we hear of a fat person
>>
>>998058
Now that is interesting. Perhaps standards of beauty change on environmental factors? Perhaps there is some innate part of the brain which sort of "steers" a cultures standards of beauty to favor certain traits?

That's sort of what "social construction" means. We (often, probably detrimentally to the health of our society) use the word "fat" as synonymous with "unattractive" as a linguistic shortcut, but the physical traits we associate with that word change depending on the time period and average body type of the culture in question. It feels like you want to imagine there's some universal standard that doesn't actually exist, though, so I'm not sure you will accept the idea that you already accept the fact that standards of beauty are a social construction. It's not like you have to change who *you're* attracted to, it's just that you have to give up the idea that your attraction is in anyway more legitimate or rational that anyone else's attraction.

How, exactly, would you "prove" that beauty is a social construct?

Just think about it, and remember how it was when you were a kid and figuring out what made your giblets tingly: kids fucking *destroy* each other if they find out they "like" someone who's outside the "norm." It's literally groupthink in action. We develop the rules of to whom we are "allowed" to be attracted by seeing the relationships surrounding us in society and media. Through this analysis, we figure out who we're "supposed" to be attracted to, but we constantly find ourselves being attracted to people outside of this narrow band, and if we admit it, we are shamed by others. It's fucking *literally* constructed by society, and until we just openly declare that you're allowed to be attracted to whomever you want, it's just the status-quo confirmation bias loop over and over again. Your logic is circular, anon, and I just know that if you explore it enough, you'll see it. Beauty is not genetically predetermined - the burden of proof would be on anyone who claims that it is, *not* on those who say it's a social construction. That's how proof works.

Nobody told me to like the women I have no problems admitting who I like even though my taste is often non conventional, also nobody ever told me to like women at all, yet here I am being heterosexual.
Also, how do you explain the fact that people with symmetrical faces are (and were) invariably considered attractive?

It's terrible how much they're pushing the fat agenda, not only in their models, but the wording as well.

For the fat ladies these words were used: plump, full-bodied, ample bosom , desirably plump, curvy.

While for the skinny ones: Boyish figure, adolescent phyisque, androgynous.

It's basically saying that and if you like the skinnier ones then you are a pederast.
>>
>>998250
Um, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but that means your attraction is pre-pubescent, and thus you later attached sexual significance to it when you reached adolescence, but it likely is associated with the desire to be taken care of and nurtured. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you, I'm just saying that it's either not support of a biological origin of attraction, or in fact support that sexual attraction is unrelated to hormones, which is probably far more controversial (but an interesting idea and worth exploring).
>>
>>997940
>I know in several indigenous Polynesian cultures, large women were held as an ideal, as they represented those who came from families with wealth. This suggests that at least to a fair extent, beauty is a social construction.
being the ideal match doesnt mean they would be considered beautiful. Just that they would be a better marriage match. Just like in medieval europe, someone with noble blood would always be preferable over any pretty peasant girl.

There's a big difference between a little boy and a woman, even if she is thin.

Let me try to explain - nobody's saying that anything's wrong with you for being straight and attracted to whomever you are. It's okay. You're fine. The issue is that people who are seem to want to believe that they are more entitled to their attraction because it's "normal," and this leads to folks making people who aren't attracted to the same people feel shame for what *they* are "naturally" attracted to. Nobody's threatening you. You are perfectly safe here. Just accept the fact that *nobody* knows why people are attracted to the people they are attracted to, and our *best guess* is that it is some combination of nature and nurture, which a certain degree of is socially constructed. Also, that symmetry thing is backwards: people tend to be off-put by perfectly symmetrical faces, research shows.

how's your skin, did you lose/win weight gradually or abruptly?
because if you took less than 2~3 years to lose that weight i'm guessing you'll need surgery to fix the stretch marks
>>
If they could afford to, how did people do portion control before the discovery of calories?
>>
So, be perfectly honest: are we even always attracted to the same people reliably? I find myself being attracted to some people some days, and then the next day that same person won't really do anything for me, but another will who didn't the day before. Are we perhaps fudging a little on being honest about how stable our standard of beauty is even individually, much less societally?

tl;dr: be honest, people - don't you sometimes want to fuck a fat chick even though you don't always?
>>
>>998375
I guess, if I gave a fuck about stretch marks and thought them anything to be ashamed of.

>>
>>998386
>how did people do portion control before the discovery of calories
you eat til you are full, and if you're getting fat you eat less. People understood that eating a lot made you gain weight long before they knew what a calorie was.
>>
>>998361
You keep reading things in my words that just aren't there. I don't really care whether or not people find what I like normal and I don't feel "threatened" by this conversation, but what you are saying is debatable to say the least: you are saying that since a minority of people differ from the norm when it comes to define beauty then beauty is a social construct. We have some ideas as to why some people are considered attractive but that doesn't even matter because the point here is that the OP asked if fat people were considered attractive in the past and the answer is, as far as we know, no and they're not considered (by the majority of people) attractive today. Nobody's saying you can't find fat people attractive or that it's wrong.
Also, I implied high, not perfect symmetry
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_symmetry
>>
>>998386
They didn't. Calories were "discovered" in 1896, and the nutritional framework was developed in the early 1900s. Before that, people treated weight and body size as much less out of people's control... which I'm beginning to think was actually better for society.

But your answer is disingenuous, and implies that there is a consistent way to define "fat" regardless of the society and time period in which you are trying to define it. There is no simple answer to OPs question, and your attempt to do so is exposing the implicit assumptions. You're just stating that "fat people weren't found attractive in the past" like its some objective fact that we've answered definitively, and it's bullshit to do that.

It's like people just *can't* accept the idea that there *is* no "standard human being" template. Is it really that hard to get?

Making up the completely bullshit statistic that "99% of cultures around the world and throughout history have standards that are mostly the same" doesn't make it true. Do you *really* believe that even? Think about all the factors and complexities that go into what makes someone "beautiful" (physically). Then think about all the various cultures and people that comprise human history for the last hundred thousand years or so. Really think about it. If there were *really* a biological preference for a narrow band of phenotypal variation, then wouldn't humans have looked more and more alike over time and gotten closer to this biological ideal? It just doesn't really make sense... unless maybe you are mistaking your own narrow experience with the standards of beauty presented to you by the media you consume as some measure of what beauty standards have always been. But that's not possible. No, you surely have studied every human culture throughout all known history and taken careful statistical data. Absolutely. I stand corrected.

I never said the band was particularly narrow, but it certainly seems to be in regards to fat, since fat fucks like you or OP's pic are outliers and not even remotely close to the norm. And in our more globalized world most people tend to like certain attributes (why do you think males of practically all ethnicities like European women for example?). It can be compared to language in a way. A thousand languages will pop up and grow because there are a thousand different groups, but only a few will be widely used to unite those different groups. With the difference that languages change constantly, while the human body stays largely the same.
The bullshit statistic is related to what was said in the thread, because I've never seen fat people like that represented as something beautiful up until Tumblr showed up.
But of course you're a free thinker while my mind is polluted by the media (though if that were true I would think like you do, since that fat positivity bullshit is what they've been pushing for the last years).

I guess the thing is this: if *you* have an ideal self in mind, then by all means, do whatever it takes to get there.

For example. This is the type of fat bitch I'm talking about.
>>
>>998457
No it's not. The OP asked wether or not fat people as we intend them today were found to be attractive in the past. Now, from what we can infere from artistic depictions and literature, fat people (and by fat here I mean people who TODAY we consider to be fat) were never considered an ideal of beauty. That's it.
Also, your claim that we can't define at what point people become fat is idiotic: we have clear and reasonable medical standards that define wether or not a person has too much (or too little) bodyfat and the fact that people in some places got used to see unhealthily fat people doesn't change that.

You really don't get it, do you? The picture OP posted is not about trying to make you sexually attracted to her. That's not why she's standing in a bathing suit on a bus with the word "beautiful" written on her. She's doing that because she *feels* beautiful, and she doesn't fucking care if you agree with her or not, and she's tacitly promoting the idea that *everyone* is beautiful, and that's a *good* thing. The fact that you don't get that is really discouraging.

There were cultures where men were thin but women were obese. Such was the case in the ancient kingdom of Ankole, for example:

"Women are also as corpulent as the men are thin and spare in flesh"

No, the post was actually telling other people to not respond for no other reason than they thought I looked like the man in that picture, and they thought I was saying that I was beautiful. As if that was such a distasteful idea that I should be ostracized for it. That is exactly the kind of public shaming and norming practice that happens on the schoolyard and shapes people's expectations of what's acceptable as a body type (which one poster earlier claimed to "never see"). Get it now?

No, there isn't. Stop buying into the fat acceptance bullshit because the difference between people is negligible and everyone can lose weight simply by controlling their food intake

To me that's moronic and unattractive (also body odor).

You seem to love claiming that you aren't understood, but I feel that you cannot understand what we represent. There is no problem with ugliness or being unattractive, there is a problem with being overweight. The mentality that you represent is, in my opinion, repugnant. We do not inherently deserve love and respect, it is something to be earned. A fat person is a a symbol of laziness because you get Fay through a calorie surplus which is mostly easily controlled. If we accept your nauseating mediocre philosophy all would be satisfied. The extreme conclusion is a society entirely without excellence. You can't be excellent? Try harder or join the herd of complainers. I do not dislike fat people, but I loathe apologists such as yourself. Back to tumblr with you.

Wow - that took me a minute. Maybe throw some parenthesis around that expression. I'm really not baiting you. I really, legitimately believe that every human being has the right to do whatever they want with their own body, even if other people don't want to look at it. I also believe that everybody is beautiful in some way, and that a great many body types are attractive, and that we all deserve love and respect because we're all human. The fact that any of these statements are controversial in the least is symptomatic of a society where people have been taught to run at each other like wounded dogs in order to appease a cruel and greedy master, and would we all recognize our commonalities and team up along our shared needs, we'd take down the sickness and share the wealth, and end the hunger and the hate. I even think there are a lot more who also think this who don't want to speak because they will meet the kind of harsh treatment one does, and I hope when the time comes they just remember that there are more people like them than they think.

I think it's one thing to say that there can be variation between (and within) societies about what's considered attractive and ideal, but it's absurd to think that there aren't some concrete biological realities to deal with that puts limits on what can be considered "beautiful".


The left has an obsession with saying that everything is a "social construct", meaning (to them) artificial and contrived, and therefore subject to change in pursuit whatever goals they have.

There's a pretty big correlation between things that help ensure survival/fitness-in-the-wild and what's considered to be beautiful and attractive.

One can only wonder why.

Using venus figurines to say that beauty standards are different nowadays is perhaps overly simplistic. We have plenty more illustrative examples than a bunch of figurines that have neither feet nor faces. Unless you meant that because venus figurines have features that don't 100% reflect reality that they shouldn't be taken at face value. In that case, you're just proving your earlier point wrong.

Throughout most of history having a physical sign of wealth was an attraction, so yes.

Social Darwinism has never helped things. Again, you're the one trying to instantiate universal standards of beauty that cannot be proven. It's a dream, anon. Sorry, but it's true.

People get fat through eating too much and doing too little. Acceptance of fat people would only mean an acceptance of such practices. I am perfectly aware that fat people may exhibit great qualities; you seem to lack the depth of spirit required to comprehend the point I am making. The society which holds certain standards of excellence will outshine that which places the happy fat consumer as it's model. The fat person will always be a symbol of weakness because you cannot get fat unless you eat too much food, which demonstrates shallow taste, lack of discipline and lack of concern for your health.

I'm being descriptive, not proscriptive, not that it matters, because something can be objectively true and factual regardless of whether it "helps" or not.

> Again, you're the one trying to instantiate universal standards of beauty that cannot be proven

I never said I believed in an absolute, universal standard, merely that people tend to find certain things to be attractive, and others to be repulsive. I never said that there couldn't be variation between societies and between different individuals, but to pretend there aren't any commonalities is absurd.

Again, this is the /his/ board. In theory, people who post here have studied at least to a cursory degree the vast and multifarious tapestry of human perception and actions throughout time. What I don't understand is how people can fail to see that contemporary trends in physical beauty are, like so much of history, dependent on the social values and mores of the culture in which they are measured. It's not rocket science. If anyone should understand perspective and relativism of righteousness, it's a student of history - and what I'm seeing is an obsession to connect posters' personal preferences with some kind of self-righteous judgment on what a human is supposed to look like. It's wildly incongruous. But I guess that's my fault for having expectations.

I'd fuck all of them in the vid and I assume I'm not the only one. Which makes me think the majority of men in the eras preceding would be the same. No fixed ideal that was the de facto body

To tell what a societal ideal is a difficult thing without clear documentation

I feel this vid was made for fat and flat as a board chicks to feel a bit better about themselves. Which is fine

But really the male ideal body hasn't really ever changed and they should realise that the female body is the same. It's about who's hot enough and available when it boils down to it

>"You get fat by eating too much."
- Some people have a very high metabolism, and they can eat a lot without gaining weight. Some people have a slow metabolism, and will gain weight without having to eat a lot. Again, not that simple.
- Who determines how much is "too much?" If a person wants to eat more than another person, who has the right to step in and tell them they can't? If we accept that people own their own bodies (not that everybody does, but it seems like something most would consider rational), then as long as they're not taking food away from others, then they can eat however much they want.
- "Fat acceptance" is just the notion that fat people, however you define that term, have the right to be themselves. Assume for a moment that you are right, and they eat "too much" and get fat, and it's solely their choice. Why is this different than people doing body-mod by wearing earrings, getting tattoos, or getting cosmetic surgery? (Pro-tip: It's not.)

Sure. But they have to accept that people will be disgusted by them and not see them as desirable. There many men and women who dislike tattoos, body mods, and piercings. Should these people be forced consider what they consider repulsive as beautiful? No. Fat people can accept themselves all they want, just don't think other people will.

But they don't. Obesity is the most preventable disease that costs society the most. Period.

They have an imperative to become not-obese, or take full responsibility for their inevitable healthcare costs. Otherwise they're just burdening other people on their insurance and fellow taxpayers because they won't go jogging for 1 hour every morning.

-Very high metabolisms manifest as minor difference and most of the time is due to perception.
- If you can't perform easy tasks without getting out of puff, then you are too fat and are at risk of several severe health problems.
- The difference is that bodymod doesn't cause heart problems.

I am going to bed but I will conclude that your vision is a world without a reason to live. Humans strive and love to achieve, if you look down at your fat body and do not feel the need to change it just to experience health, then you are a lost cause. Your woo-woo utopia will, thankfully, never come to fruition. Hatred, contempt and improvement are part of any human society. You are not a humanist, you seek to model ourselves after beasts simply chasing easy pleasure. I hate you with every fibre of my being and derive much pleasure from the though of you upset in your fat body. I originally wished you would cease this path of destruction, but the more you reveal your weakness and mediocrity, the more I hope you suffer a severely painful and fatal heart attack. I care little that I am providing you with ammunition as I am only concerned with the opinions of human beings who possess a sense of shame.

You know that statistically speaking, the choices *you* have made with your body (whatever it looks like) will be disapproved of and found repulsive by someone, right? And I'll bet you don't go around expecting other people to find you attractive, right? That's good - so, like, guess what? Fat people are *the same as you that way* and just don't want to be constantly told how repulsive they are... which in contemporary society seems to be okay to do, if this board is any measure, which I really hope it's not.

Just to drive that point in:

>In addition to its serious health consequences, obesity has real economic costs that affect all of us. The estimated annual health care costs of obesity-related illness are a staggering $190.2 billion or nearly 21% of annual medical spending in the United States.1 Childhood obesity alone is responsible for $14 billion in direct medical costs. Obesity-related medical costs in general are expected to rise significantly, especially because today’s obese children are likely to become tomorrow’s obese adults.2,3 If obesity rates were to remain at 2010 levels, the projected savings for medical expenditures would be $549.5 billion over the next two decades.4

>The direct and additional hidden costs of obesity are stifling businesses and organizations that stimulate jobs and growth in U.S. cities. In the 10 cities with the highest obesity rates, the direct costs connected with obesity and obesity-related diseases are roughly $50 million per 100,000 residents. If these 10 cities cut their obesity rates down to the national average, the combined savings to their communities would be $500 million in health care costs each year.5

>In addition to growing health care costs attributed to obesity, the nation will incur higher costs for disability and unemployment benefits. Businesses are suffering due to obesity-related job absenteeism ($4.3 billion annually). These costs also will continue to rise.6

>>999465
I've personally made very good decisions with my body(was collegiate level mid distance runner) and other people respond quite positively to that.
Sure, being called subhuman because you are fat is mean. But a doctor telling you that your obesity is a health problem or a date turning you down because you're too fat isn't oppression. Basically fat people don't inherently deserve to be looked at the same way in terms of beauty and health standards because they physically aren't.
>>
>>999464
... Um. I'm legitimately impressed. You just told me you literally hate me and want me to die painfully and that hatred is just fine and a normal part of society. And then you say that *my* vision is a world without a reason to live. Maybe you do need to sleep, anon. I hope you dream of happiness, and that you wake up and find it. No, really. Like, if your reason to live is to achieve, then you won, man. I don't even know how to address where you are, but I still think you deserve love and respect. I still love and respect you, to be perfectly honest. Being human is really hard, and you have a lot of stress to deal with. Good luck, anon. I'm like not being sarcastic, either; I don't know if anyone will believe that, but you sort of broke my heart with that post.

Assume, just for a moment, that the shape and size of our bodies was as much in our control as our apparent race was. Now, pick a group and replace the word "fat" with that group in your post. What would that sound like? Now recognize that having the choice to "eat healthy" is a mark of economic privilege and that a lot of people really don't get to choose what they eat, and thus don't have nearly as much control over their appearance as you. Are you starting to see the point here? Is it too much of a stretch for you? It's just a thought experiment, so don't get too bent out of shape (no pun intended).
>>

>a lot of people really don't get to choose what they eat, and thus don't have nearly as much control over their appearance.

Not that anon, but it comes down to calories in and calories expended. If you have shitty high fat and sugar food that reaches your recommended daily calories (figure out what works for yourself), then just eat less.

I will leave you with one last reply. Your love means nothing, it is unwanted and unfelt. You prove to me again and again that you lack the ability to comprehend what it is I say. I am perfectly content with what I have achieved and am thankful I never had to suffer relations with morbid drains such as you. A good life is one where you feel that you have made a difference and spent it with people worth loving and listening to. You degrade love and respect and make it common. You see why I hate you? You are the enemy of love, the enemy of life and the enemy of true beauty (I'll allow you to completely misunderstand the latter as you inevitably will. The strong and healthy will feel two natural responses to the weak: a desire to make them strong or contempt at their inability to do so. You would seek to foster affliction, you kneel before the altar of sickness.

>race and fatness are the same thing
But they aren't. Biology only affects body type so far(aside from thyroid conditions that affect 1% of the population). Modern obesity is the result of mass production of high calorie food for cheap. So no, your analogy is invalid.

>You don't even see how this kind of thinking leads to people basically spending their entire lives trying to live up to some ideal that, if they even reach, will never be as fulfilling as they thought it would, do you?

Trying to reach an ideal isn't something bad, is it? It can become self destructive, but so can the opposite.
>>
>>999540
Poor people can achieve any body type.

Perfectly healthy, balanced 3 dollar meals exist, they're just less tasty than a healthy 15 dollar meal, or a $3 cheeseburger.

I honestly don't get this "it was depicted, so it was considered attractive" meme. Like I legit don't understand the fucking logic. If an archeologist finds a Lenin statue 2000 years from now, will he think bald semi-mongoloids with goofy facial hair were the pinnacle of beauty?

I could say the Venus statues were depicting ugly women and I'd be no less right than the fat worshippers.

I think that the fat venus statues might have been showing an appreciation of being fat, in terms of wealth in a way. But the main difference would be that in ice-age Europe it required an immense amount of effort to be successful enough and obtain enough food to actually become fat. where as nowadays it requires no effort to become fat at all.

Eh, 40,000 years from now people will be asking similar questions about the Budai statues littered around the world.

It would be difficult for them to guess that he's fat because he's a wandering monk who goes around giving candy to children, and not because he's a symbol of male wealth and fertility.

I'm OK with them. As a former fatass, I like to call bullshit on the body positivity nonsense because it makes a virtue of vice. It's the attempt to shame others into buying into their self serving HAES delusion which is the most obnoxious thing.

You want to eat yourself into an early grave? Fine. Don't then tell me that I'm a bigot or sheep because my pride in what I achieved cuts through your layers of self delusion and makes you defensive. Especially don't invite comment and then moan and groan when those comments aren't universally positive.

I've found (through porn) that what I'm sexually attracted to is a much broader category than I previously thought.

Anything that isn't straight up homosex can be sexually stimulating to me.

Even my disliking homosex is probably due to years of Abrahamic teachings and societal pressures. I mean, people used to enjoy fucking men more than they did women, so it's clear that a large part of our sexuality is influenced by society.

No but they weren't beautiful.
Never were they physically attractive.
You're jumping categories and conflating them.
For one to be socially attractive is not the same as being physically attractive.
Universal guidelines to show beauty is just subjective opinion...
>>
I know lots of societies fetishized chubby girls but I don't think fat chicks were ever regarded as the epitome of beauty. There was that ancient totem that we believe to be a fertility goddess depiction, but that doesn't mean she was a standard of beauty, but merely a symbol of fertility. Supposedly, it's all guesses. For all we know it could have been an ancient joke. Haha, look how fat this chick is Og.
