This study compares romantic interest in obese and non-obese students. We surveyed 1217 college students on their demographic characteristics, self-perceptions (self-loathing and drive for thinness), and romantic selectivity. Obese people (especially women) showed strongly negative self-perceptions. Obese people and women were less likely to be selective about the physical traits of their potential partners than nonobese people and men. Obese women preferred overweight (but not obese) partners. Obese men preferred partners in the normal weight range. Results suggest that obesity is associated with predictable alterations in one's romantic attraction to others.
本研究比较了肥胖和非肥胖学生的浪漫兴趣。我们对1217名大学生进行了调查，了解他们的人口统计学特征、自我认知（自我厌恶和追求瘦的动力）以及浪漫选择。肥胖者（尤其是女性）表现出强烈的负面自我认知。与非肥胖者和男性相比，肥胖者和女性对潜在伴侣身体特征的选择可能性更小。肥胖女性更喜欢超重（但非肥胖）的伴侣。肥胖男性更喜欢体重正常范围的伴侣。结果表明，肥胖与一个人对他人浪漫吸引力的可预测变化有关。
