Are underweight people just as unattractive as overweight people? I've been anorexic for several years, so I always thought an underweight body (as long as it's not completely skeletal) was just as attractive or more attractive than a healthy weight. Recently, my mom and brother both agreed that "being underweight is just as unattractive as being overweight". That didn't make any sense to me. My brother went on to say that our mom looks better than me. I'm a few pounds underweight and our mom looks kinda chubby but most likely isn't overweight.  Opinions? Do you think underweight people are unattractive?
