I think you underestimate your cultural bias. Being physically capable may seem like an objective basis for attraction, but at various times and places in history larger people have been considered more attractive than skinnier ones, perhaps because a richer diet signifies affluence. Remember that, relatively recently, having a suntan changed its connotation away from "farmer" and toward "world traveler".
