My first thought as well. . .

If they measure the 'ugly' factor; perhaps the percentage here goes up even more(!) Then measure 'great personalities. . .and watch the numbers change again. . .

How many tax dollars went into this study. . .a stat I would like to see included as a footnote on every one of these scientific revelations, we are gifted with all too often.

Portia de Rossi and Jodie Foster would beg to differ with you.

Tell me tell me.... about 50lbs and plaid shirt....

ROTFL!!

I’d guess that FAT & UGLY is more recruitable than women who attract men more easily.....pragmatism, y’know.

Fugly is 2 strikes of three that persona can rarely overcome....

So where’s Rosie O’Donuts? Median or outlier?

[SoldierDad]

Yes, the absorption rate is vastly slowed in these cases.

6.9 times more likely to drive a Subaru.

There isn't any doubt, this is tied for the stupedest study ever conceived behind ivy covered walls. It must have been funded with some guvmint grant.

The only thing it rally proves...empirically...is that some guys like sleek lasses while others like the more curvaceous.

The survey takers like well rounded lasses, and Ulrike Boehmer has a fat lesbian fetish.

This reminds me of the SNL skit when a college kid is granted one wish and he wishes to see to women fooling around. The vision is granted - two portly, middle-aged women in flannel walk into the room and grasp each other. He starts screaming: "I meant two hot women! I meant two hot women!"

Great lol memory. . .

Some morons are completely stumped by the whole cause/effect relationship.

Yeah, some researchers need to get out a little more often and just look around.

CORRECTION: Obese women, twice as likely to be lesbians

I was thinking the same thing.

[SteveMcKing]

I have long believed that most gays and lesbians are simply people who can’t attract the opposite sex if they wanted to (regardless of whether they do or don’t actually “want to”).

That goes just as much for self-loving/self-loathing metrosexuals as it does for unattractive lesbians.

Translation: Not all women are lesbians by choice!

Their lesbians. They just don’t care. That is where the positive body image comes in. Not so much positive as it is apathetic, though.

[Lady Jag]

When gay men are generally considered to be attractive and a disappointment to hertero women, why are gays usually hunks and lesbos usually fat?

Hetero cartoon . . .

[miss marmelstein]

Any obese lesbian that I have every met has either had to deal with child sexual abuse or marital abuse. The unattractive weight - as you say - keeps men at a distance. Even Rosie O’Donnell admits to some kind of sexual abuse as a child.

Then there are the lipstick lesbians - young, attractive women (not unlike the flirtatious Greta Garbo and Louise Brooks and Marlene Dietrich) who like to gender bend. These kind of women seem to drive both men and women crazy.
