Even eatbeasts who identify as heterosexual women will be the first to say that they won't touch a fat guy because they have standards. And all the chicks I've met that said they didn't mind a bit of chub meant it more as "physical attraction doesn't matter here, but if you had a 6-pack I might be admiring it all day long" and sometimes it was "I like my guys way bigger than me but couldn't get a jacked dude so I went for the chubster" but I've never heard one explicitly say that she'd take fat over fit/slim if everything else was equal. Also, ever since I slimmed down I keep getting compliments about small changes in my appearance that I sometimes don't even notice myself but show them that I am more physically active. Never had anything close to that in the decade I had spent as an overweight guy, chicks just dig the fit look.
