Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat

Xemu writes "Having fat friends makes you fat, researchers from Harvard Medical School and the University of California says after after examining 12,067 individuals and 38,611 of their relatives and friends. In same-sex friendships, people were 71 per cent more likely to put on weight if a friend of theirs became obese. "It's not that obese or non-obese people simply find other similar people to hang out with. Rather, there is a direct, causal relationship," says Harvard professor Nicholas Christakis."

Theory: closeted gay guys like skinny chicks

[spun]

Real men like women that look like women, not prepubescent boys. If you are turned on by a flat chest, flat ass, and straight hips, you might actually prefer men. Go on, give it a try. There's nothing wrong with liking the shape of a man's body. Just don't try to turn all women into your fantasy guy, okay closet cases?

Genetically speaking, it seems intuitive that men would want a fat curvy girl with big hips. Better for making babies, yes? Living closer to nature, being fat would be a sure sign of genetic superiority. But men also want a woman that other men find attractive. When asked to pick out the silhouette of a woman they would like to have with them if marooned on a desert island, most men picked a larger, curvier shape than expected. So guys are pretending to like a body type they don't actually prefer because they think other men prefer it!

Humans are sick little monkeys.
