People can really be attracted to self confidence though. I have a few friends who are really big women (300+ lbs). People are drawn to them because their personality rocks and they're both married to hot guys too. One of them, her hubby was previously involved with a slim pretty woman, but she didn't have that fire that his now wife has. I don't know, I guess I've found that as I get older, it's not about the looks for me. It's about chemistry and personality whether it's someone I'm friends with or someone I'm romantically involved with. If someone feels good about themselves, then that rocks no matter their size. But I do agree that going about and talking about your hotness is pretty damn tacky.
