Why should it be acceptable for men to look like this?

Who gave unhealthy obese men the right to justify their own failures in maintaining a decent lifestyle?

Biology student here- I'm pretty sure women naturally are supposed to have more fat than men (to protect fetuses) and after being pregnant are more likely to be overweight because some women's metabolisms slow down after they have kids (not sure why this is, but this was was case with my grandma).

And biologically, curvy women = greater fertility = should be more attractive to men for reproductive purposes. Curvy isn't equivalent to obese, though. The two are different things entirely. So the "curvy" argument doesn't work for guys (even though that's just a mocking picture).

You can't really shame either gender for weight, though, because people can have metabolic issues etc. that can affect their weight. I know OP is responding to an earlier thread but it needs to be said.

Could you explain the science behind this please, I'm interested:smile:

This review paper gives lots of into: http://faculty.bennington.edu/~sherman/sex/whr-singh2002.pdf

There is even the suggestion that fat stored around the buttocks and thighs acts as a reservoir of fatty acids for foetal brain developement, although I think this is pretty speculative: http://www.anth.ucsb.edu/sites/secure.lsit.ucsb.edu.anth.d7/files/sitefiles/people/gaulin/WHRcog%20as%20published.pdf
