Both sexes are biologically programmed to look for certain characteristics in mates. Many will say they ignore them, but 99% of them are damned liers.
Also, with the chubby girls, they may get dates, but A LOT of them get used and tossed aside.

Not all of the characteristics we're "programmed to look for" are physical, though. And some attractors are determined by our experiences (in those cases what's pre-programmed is the way in which certain traits become attractive or unattractive to us, rather than what those traits are). Some things also vary from person to person -- in some cases we look for traits complementary to our own, rather than everyone looking for exactly the same thing. Plus, the physical attraction matters more for the initial infatuation (which is gradually replaced by an emotional bond) than it does in the later phases of a relationship.
And on top of all of that, the whole system is imperfect... it's been refined through evolution, but evolution doesn't always select perfection. "Survival of the fittest" is a myth; it's more like "survival of the adequate". The inadequate doesn't survive, but "good enough" is, well, good enough. (Meaning we may be "programmed" to look for traits that are actually completely irrelevant and arbitrary sometimes, just because that attraction didn't kill us off in the past)

Lol!
Well..okay.
But be aware that you all are just talking to each other.
What the second poster asked is so basic to the subject that I was eager to see his response- was wishing everyone else would back off until he gave an answer.
But not only did he never responded to that - he never responded to anyone ever in the four pages!

He's probably off somewhere with a girl....

Get yourself a power suit, practice confident walking and put on an alpha male persona. It won't matter how short or ugly you are then

LOL! My first thought was mechanized combat armour, THEN something with a bright red or yellow tie.
