That could and WILL change with time, though. Remember when flat butts were in and now all of a sudden women are hittin' the Squat rack trying to look like Kim K?

Which is funny because back in the days of Jordache, big butts would be considered fat.

No I don't. I'm relatively old, but I don't remember that. When were flat butts ever "in"?

Having a butt was not a good thing until recently. It wasn't even on the radar as an attribute in mainstream (white) America till the mid to late 1990s.

I remember in the late 90s (my high school years) girls worried if an outfit made their butts look too big.

The OP's point of why some men prefer larger women might have occurred because in that male's early years, his mother or someone he looked up to or loved was large/obese and he's seeking that comfort level out in women he dates as an adult. Lots of foundations of later behavior are set in our early years.

On the topic, I remember reading something from a standpoint of genetics and how the human being is wired to want to create healthy offspring and talked about mate selection. The aricle made the the point that most people are turned off by obese people because we are supposedly wired to seek out mates that are healthy and will produce healthy offspring.

I'm sure there are many who do. There are lots of ignorant people in this world.

Society does for certain, me personally, I could care less. Society is built on a competitive nature, who has the best this? who has the best that? etc. etc. People are intrinsically competing with other people for absolutely no reason other than society (and the market) telling them to do so. If you don't have the latest clothes then you must be poor, if you date a fat woman you must be ugly or fat yourself, etc. etc.

I'm not sure what country you've been living in, my friend. If you want to say having a larger butt was not fashionable until then, I could agree with you. To suggest that flat butts were ever "in" though is just not true. I can't think of a single female sex symbol over the last century who I would say had a flat butt. If you can, she would be an exception.
