Single ladies: Indiana is
the perfect place to find your soul-mate
It is well known that Indiana is
one of the fattest states in the Union—which makes it the perfect place for a
single woman in search of love and companionship. The following excerpt from
Ladies Home Journal written by sociologist Wallace Sayyah explains why.
Average-sized men should go ahead and
admit it. When they are walking down the street or driving around their
neighborhoods and see a fat guy holding hands with a well-built, good looking
lady, they think to themselves, “What is she thinking?”
This is especially true if the average
Joe is someone who has had little success themselves finding that special
someone to share their life with. How is it that some fatties are more
successful than their thinner counterparts with the opposite sex?
Charisma.
Successful fat men have learned all
the tricks of the trade when it comes to communicating and dealing with people.
This is true in all aspects of their lives, whether it is at work or in
relationships. They know that they have to overcome the prejudice that comes
with their physiques in order to thrive, so they use the tools they do have to
their advantage—their glowing personalities allow them to succeed where others
fail.
For fat guys, in no place is this more
evident than in their interactions with the opposite sex. It doesn’t seem
conceivable that a very fit and beautiful woman would want to date or marry a
huge, fat slob of a man, but it happens all the time. This is because most fat
guys have better personalities and treat women better than thin guys.
The main reason for this is fat guys,
many of whom have fought weight problems their entire lives, are socialized
differently from the time they are children. People are generally nicer to
heavy-set children because their round, cherubic faces make them look happy.
Part of this also has to do with the myth that fat people are typically more
jolly than skinny people, therefore people tend to want to give more attention
to the chubby kid who stands out among all his peers. Skinny kids miss out on
these important interactions.
The differences in socialization are
even more extreme once that chunky child reaches puberty and goes into high
school. While the fit, athletic teenage boys get all the attention from the
girls just for being fit and athletic, fat teens need something more if they are
going to get that date to the dance. This is the period in their lives that
they develop their charisma. Cracking jokes, pulling pranks, and telling tall
tales to make everyone laugh are sure ways for them to be the life of the party,
even if they have a body that makes them reluctant to play basketball in gym
class in fear of being picked for the “skins” team.
Adulthood is when chunkies come into
bloom and excel at getting women who might have seemed out of their league years
before to give them a chance at a relationship. Many women, tired of being in
relationships that were going nowhere with shallow, robot-like lightweights who
are only out for one thing, decide to give the fat guy in their office or bar,
the one with the great personality, a second look. Fat guys use this to their
advantage and woo these ladies with their warm smiles and friendly demeanors.
It doesn’t take long for these attention-starved females to fall head over heels
for the man whose belt size and height are nearly equal.
And once the fat man is in a
relationship, it is likely to be a lasting one. He makes his lady feel special
by giving her the attention she craves. Fat guys are far more likely to ask her
how her day went, give her a back rub, send her flowers, and listen to her
problems than the self-centered men she had dated in the past.
This is why obese men are many times
lucky in love.
