I believe, and certainly others can correct me, but " Rubenesque" was the standard for attractive and mating long before the starving look became popular. In other words the idea that skinny is sexy is really an evolutionary new thing, and it may be a cultural white European thing as well. There are other cultures in the US that find "Fat is Phat". Just an observation.
