While cultures tend to have different standards of attractiveness, weight is most definitely, objectively related to health. If you care about having a healthy partner, you should probably care about their weight.
- tclancy 3mo agoThe same is true of long hair supposedly (hair displays a record of illness). Does someone's attractiveness inherently change after a crew cut?
- nchmy 3mo agoIf you cant recognize the difference between weight and hair length as a reflection of health, I dont think we need to continue further

- mathgeek 3mo agoI’d venture that attractiveness does change after a haircut, with the degree of change being subjective. Does anyone truly think your hairstyle and length is not tied to your appearance?
- Teever 3mo agoYes but that means different things in different contexts. In some contexts a healthy weight is stocky with extra body fat that can carry a person through a cold winter or a famine. In other contexts a healthy weight is leaner with less body fat to better handle a hot climate or chase down an animal.
