Media has a lot to do with how women and men are influenced to have certain preferences towards their 'ideal' partner, 'drummed into submission' so we believe we might like a slim/fit guy but that isn't necessarily our true beliefs. Some years ago i was trapped into believing that a handsome fit guy was the being all and end all i needed and it turns out that i met the most interesting, caring honest guy who yes was overish weight but what did that matter he was such a beautiful person i surpassed all those doubts and cliches about 'fat people'.
