Almost every now and then, we see reports of "a certain Korean male god gaining weight, a truly horrible sight," with netizens clamoring "Give us back our male god!" (although these male gods are almost always just playing around with being fat). In our subconscious, it seems that a male god must have long legs and six-pack abs, but in real life, such "male gods" are truly rare.
Moreover, not all women like men with "good physiques". Survey data shows that about 30% of women like fat men, while 40% hold a neutral attitude. This also shows that a large number of women are not actually averse to fat men.
Why do so many women like overweight men? According to our analysis, the reasons might be as follows:
1. Feeling safe
Women are inherently insecure, and for a man to demonstrate his worth, he must step forward and act as a bodyguard when encountering bad people. In this situation, a heavier man clearly has an advantage; with his size, who can bully the woman he loves?
On the other hand, with him on a crowded bus, the driver doesn't have to worry about sudden braking.
2. To accentuate one's own figure
Even if you're not very thin, you won't feel fat when you're with him, which is something you'll never experience when you're with a skinny boyfriend.
3. Used as a pillow when sleeping.
Chubby men often have a soft, round belly, which can serve as a comfortable pillow for you when you're sleeping or watching a movie.
4. A broad-minded and plump person
Overweight people are often perceived as honest and kind, and they tend to be approachable. They also generally have a better mindset than thin people; this is the meaning behind the saying "a broad mind leads to a plump body."
5. Enjoy more delicious food
Being overweight is definitely associated with eating, so being with an overweight person naturally means eating a lot. Imagine having an endless supply of snacks at home on the weekend – wouldn't that be wonderful?
Surveys show that over 60% of women have dated overweight men in the past, indicating that overweight men are still in high demand.
