About 16% in men have a fat fetish compared to <1% of women. Also about 36% of women prefer a partner heavier than them. Also, 97% want a man who’s taller than them while about 2 % of women want a man smaller than them.
Of all the people currently alive, about 7% are women aged 25-35. of those 1% like fat men, of those 2% want the man to be smaller. So you have 0.0014% of any given population who is female 25-35 and likes small fat men. About half of them are single, you you have 0.0007% of any population who will find you attractive.
In a city of 400,000 people that’s 3

I don’t get the reason for posting all these magic numbers with no source, especially since it is about preference of something that is considered a “taboo” and many will refuse to properly state them. So even if there is a source for these, especially if online, they are very unreliable.
Not to deny the minority that are people that highly prefer a fat person/partner, especially since I am both one and prefer one. I am not here to conquer every single person that sees me even if I was the complete opposite and be jacked, because that is simply unrealistic.
I am myself, with my personality and a body I feel comfortable in.

Me neither, it implies that dating is just basic stats. Which no, because dating preferences aren’t independent variables. If you score low with a potential partner on a particular quality that doesn’t mean they’ve rejected you, unless that quality is a deal breaker. They are variable’s that are dependent to and from other variables, how are you with pets, are you pursuing a life goal you have set out for yourself, how are your relationships with others, ect.

Wait what? Men are naturally bigger with more muscle. Is the study implying most women prefer skinny marathon runners instead of bodybuilders?

Comment OP provided zero sources. This could be an online form where people can lie and say they are the other gender to feel better about themselves. Removing the chance of lying who got questioned could have also interpreted “heavier” as “fatter”, not generally “bulkier”.

This does assume that these are independent variables, which may not necessarily be the case.

Height was not stated. Also, if she doesn’t care about his marital status she probably doesn’t care about her own. Also also, it is stated that she is 25. Not going to do the math, so I will assume we are up to 1%
