Indeed. Considering that I'm attracted to chubby girls as opposed to the skinny media stereotype, the quiz does look highly biased and stupid, declaring being overweight as ugly and undesirable. Oh well, nothing that can be done about it. Seriously, people aspire to be skeletal?
I think it can be just NT "sheep instinct" to follow the media's orders. But evolutionaly, it's understandable. In nowadays more developed societies, it's not necessary anymore to fight for food, because almost everyone has plenty. At least starvation is no longer a problem to us. But that gives birth to another problem: natural selection. It seems that instead of well-nutrified and physically strong people are obsolete, and people need otherwise successful ideals. Like those who have the enormous amount of self-control to torture their bodies by underfeeding it (and even exercise it). Am I right?
It's a media cult, and a stupid one at that. Rather than girls having a healthy appetite and a well nourished figure, with a healthy portion of self control being the commonly accepted idea, media commonly goes for an altogether stupid idea, that a skinny, bony figure is a sign of self control, a perverse one at that.
