Why do fat people reject beauty standards, but at the same time desire partners who fit them? I'm not sure if it's been discussed before, or to what extent, so I figured we could get a discussion going on this topic.  The obvious answer is ''HIPPOcrisy'', but what else could be driving obeasts to seek out partners who are conventionally attractive?  There is of course, social status. Fat people want to feel desirable, and landing a hot partner would probably give off the illusion that they are, and that they have something to offer their better-looking counterpart.  There's also the fact that even obeasts recognize what's truly attractive, they just want to be spared the trouble of having to work towards that goal.  That's all I can think of for now. I stumbled on that fat pig's (dankiidoll or something) video about dating for fat women, and it inspired this post. So what do you guys think?
