NEVER date a GIRL FATTER than you

Skinny men should not date women who are heavier than they are, but should instead seek partners with matching body types, as couples with mismatched body sizes face social stigma.

Seeing an average-built man with a much larger woman on a beach prompted immediate negative appraisals of the man's confidence, self-esteem, potential trauma, and fear of rejection.

Shared personality or compatibility belongs in friendships rather than romance when physical attraction is lacking, as both appearance and personality are necessary in romantic partnerships.

Overweight body sizes should not be normalized, and judging overweight people is considered acceptable due to associated health burdens, resource consumption, financial costs, and wider economic and environmental harms.

Perceptions and social stigma directed at couples where the woman is considerably larger than the man.
