Hypothetically speaking, what if you knew someone who weighed about 198 pounds, and you haven't seen them in a couple of months/years, unexpectedly you encounter them again; they have lost an increasingly amount of weight- let's say about 116 pounds. What would your reaction be?

Also, how come when a fat person has an attractive/nice face, majority of the time they're ignored.

Regarding you hypothetical question, it depends on the other things. 198 looks a LOT different if you are 5'1" or 6'3"....I personally could care less so long as that person gained/lost weight to become healthier (there are some cases where fat ppl are healthier than the skinny ones).

The majority of ppl here are ingrained to think that "skinny" as the ideal. Almost every clothing or beauty ad features some skinny person (even the plus size ads usually don't feature someone over a size 10 or so). Maybe it is because it is more cost effective to dress a size 0 than size 18. Perhaps it is easier for designers to manipulate their creations on models who don't feature a real woman's curves (the majority of it is artistic expression). I only mention reasons because they can vary drastically but end up with the same result.

Long story short, let other cultures' standard for beauty attest that there is no one size or type that is the ideal. Look at the bigger picture. Any guy who would blow off a nice girl for no other reason than her weight (while being devastatingly beautiful) is not worth the energy pursuing in the first place.
