But I...and most every other guy I know tall or short, require women to be slim, or at least not obese...when us short guys who know damn well what it's like to be ignored for such a superficial reason keep physical requirements for our mates, it's hypocrisy. Obesity doesn't stop women from wanting taller guys, and that's hypocrisy, too. But with the thrust of several eons of natural selection behind it, who can stop it? Humans are animals and we've got no one to blame but ourselves.
