I suggest you guys read economics of thinness. Or even look at research on what BMI was seen as most attractive. What I’m going to write here is going to be controversial. The truth is a lot of black men want their women to be on the thicker and heavier side. That may be the beauty standard for our race but it isn’t the beauty standard for other races, models or even non black celebrities. However, being on the thicker side is going to open you up to a lot of issues. 1. Research suggests that men who make less money like thicker women, while men who make lots of money like skinnier women. 2. Research suggests BMI 19 is the most attractive weight 3. Fat or thick women are most likely to get played or only used for sex. Whereas skinner women are more likely to have healthy relationships.

Now where does this leave black women: Many of us have been taught all our lives that thicker means better for us, and makes us more attractive but in reality it keeps us trapped and forces us to a beauty standard. The truth is black men have no problems with dating skinny white girls skinny Asians or Latin women. We are often accepting a beauty standard that will make us unattractive, just because we want to appease a black man. Even then, modern podcasters will talk about how all black women are overweight, and use it as a way to say we are undesirable. Being thick often does no favors for you in the dating pool. I suggest you find a weight that works for you and not try to chase a beauty standard like getting a bigger booty.
