Hell, I'll use myself an as example. I'm fat. I don't think it's shallow at all if someone finds me less attractive because of it. It's not their fault they see me the way they do. It's because I've been too lazy to exercise and too weak-willed to diet, and if I ever really want people to see me another way, I'll get off my ass and do something about it.

I don't even know if I'm disposed to being attracted to heavier girls because of the baggage I've taken on from a couple of crazy ones. More than once I've dated a girl whose heavier 'good friend' decided out of the blue that my girlfriend was not worthy of me as they were in fact my one true love, and set about making both [my and my GF's] our lives a living hell.
