I may possibly get yelled at by a bunch of guys for saying this but I have a theory on the 'status' thing in terms of men flocking to skinnier women. I think sometimes it really is a load of bs. I went to high school in NYC, one of the most judgmental cities in America, and I got very little attention from the males in my class (I am 5'5, 150 lbs). All of them would flirt with/date the size zeros in my class and sort of snub me...until the school bell rang. I can't count the number of times OUTSIDE of the classroom setting that these very same guys would be all over me...providing their friends weren't around. I had at least three guys from my class proposition me outside of school and actually asked me to 'come over and have sex'. I'm NOT kidding. One of them, when we were hanging out alone one night told me I was the sexiest girl in class. Two of them continued to pursue me after high school ended. But, God forbid I ever try to 'flirt' with them in class, then they put me down and talked about me behind my back.
Now, some people may say they tried it on outside of school because I'm a chubbier girl and therefore 'easy', but EVERY SINGLE ONE of these boys got turned down by me, repeatedly. I have more self-respect than to see a man who would be too ashamed to introduce me to his friends because I'm a size eight not a zero. But yes, I don't think it's all men, but there are definitely some that I think prefer curvier women but hide that in order to date more 'conventional' girls.
And Trisk - size eight (I'm assuming US?) is NOT fat! Not at all! Don't let those bastards worry you, because none of them is worth it.
