He did a poor job defining heavy. Men have always been attracted to women with curves in the right places. Curvy and obese are obviously completely different.

We’re not. They want us to be lol. There is no way I’m spending 2+ hours a day in the gym just to date a Big Mac in a bikini.

The majority of men are not.

I honestly don't know a single man who is "suddenly" attracted to bigger women

To answer your question, no.

We're not

Im not

The bigger they are, the more invisible they become 😅 It's a woman's superpower 💪🏻

When 60%+ (and growing) of woman are fat, the choices are diminishing. Does not mean it's a new preference.

There's "bigger" as in nice and curvy and then there's just plain fat, The latter clearly says a person has no impulse control which is bad for a multitude of things nevermind just looking bad.

Just because there is a grocery store down the street doesn't justify being fat, there is probably a gym down the street too.

I feel like many people in the comments mistake "bigger women" with literally obese women. I don't think that's the extent of "bigger" he's talking about at all, rather he is talking about women that don't have those instagram model kinds of bodyfat percentages but those in the higher end of normal weight or maybe the very low end of overweight (measured by bmi). Women with those kinds of bodies can still be very healthy and fit and in my opinion also look very good.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense. Just saying.

General rule of thumb: if a feminist tries to make it a reality it's probably not true, on a fundamental level.

If I were taking shots every time this dude says "Right?" I'd be fucking hammered by the 2 minute mark.

Says who ? The answer is no

A few drunk guys knocked down some chubbies during a dry spell and now everyone is losing their minds, lol!

we're still not.

Please watch for 30 seconds before commenting 😂 first words I say are that in Western countries (and wealthy nations generally) men prefer lighter women.

I disagree with the statements implying this is a growing trend among first-world countries with a preference towards bigger women. I think there is a lot of reaching here. Maybe people are just more unhealthy and settle with what they can get, more so than this being what men prefer.

Absolutely not. Fat is gross. :(

Some men, like myself, most definitely like bigger chubbier women. You do you, no shame to whoever's likes whoever's, but many do. He is right about that

Funniest thing about this is that it explains the stereotype of black men being attracted to thicc women

As a guy who is attracted to bigger women. It's a huge advantage, because i had access to about 30% of the dating market that most men don't.

For me I've always found curvy women more attractive. My wife and I are polar opposites. I'm tall and slim, train every day, low body fat. She's short, heavier than me, doesn't train. Its personal preference for me, she's been like this as long as I've known her. I love the curves, what does it matter? Each to their own. I find skinny women unattractive. So what?

Umm, I don't think so. Health is important, especially at the age of 40+.

This Macken guy is cringe af.

A big reason (no pun intended) that guys prefer skinnier girls is because it means they're healthier, so no serious health issues in the near future, they can do things as a couple like hiking or tennis or whatnot, live longer together, and she can get pregnant without issues, too.

Fuck no

“women engage in tons of caloric acquisition” made me giggle like I never have before

I feel that modern day body positivity has made it impossible to discuss body types without any visual reference. I like somewhat curvy girls, but these days that's how obese women would describe themselves

Juggernaut law - the theory that the very most unattractive women receive a surprisingly large amount of attention from men, sometimes more attention than women of average attractiveness. There is a large contingent of incels whose approaches have largely consisted of juggernauting, as they feel they have no chance with women they find attractive.

Dude is projecting 3rd world desperation onto western countries. 😂😂😂 He never defines "heavier".

The WHALE ON HIS ARM got me 💀💀💀

As a former BGC (Big Girl Connoisseur), I can confirm it is a survival mechanism. Especially in college.

I gotta hand it to Chris he does a good job of getting people with the absolute worst take on things.

We are?

This guy is saying the African Zulu tribe has a lot of obese women? I doubt this.

The media is pushing that preference. Men haven't just changed preference. Strong women and beta males is the goal.

Define bigger, because as a latino I admire fit women and Curvy woman. I wouldn't consider the curvy woman to be obese but I do know that they obviously have more fat on them as compared to the other more fit women. And amongst latinos and black Americans we can see them same leaning towards Curvy women. But i will admit that fat/obese are off-putting to me.

The people in the comment section didn't listen to the guy. He's saying that poor societies like fatter women and wealthier societies like skinner women. This totally makes sense because Western societies hit their peak in the 2000s and now we're spiraling into poverty. His logic makes total sense.

I already know that title is clickbait

When he is talking about higher BMIs having more sexual value, he isn't talking about women from my 600lb life guys. Those women are incredible outliers in every part of the world. What he is talking about, I think, can be seen just recently in our culture, i remember in the mid to late 2000s that a huge thing for women was the thigh gap, being so skinny that your thighs dont touch each other while you are walking or you could see their ribcages. Girls were starving themselves on purpose to try and be what was seen as the most sexually attractive. These days, you dont see that as much, if at all. Models these days are much thicker and more curvatious than they were 15 - 20 years ago, and the economy has only gotten worse since then. I am not saying it's an incredibly tight-knit theory, as it has only been researched for 20 years, and these kinds of theories take ages to lock down, but I can say that I have seen evidence to support it just in my own lifetime.

I don't think men are. Men will always be more attracted to slimmer women in general the same way women are attracted to tall healthy somewhat muscular men. I think what's going on is because men aren't as shy about saying what they like versus women, the outliers of men that like bigger women became more vocal about it during that time where SI and other magazines were starting to put plus sized models on the cover of their magazines, so it made it seem like most men prefer bigger women to slimmer women which isn't the case.

Thanks for doing this. I'm on a health journey after a traumatic event and my BMI ballooned to over 52. With lots of support I hope to get down to a healthier BMI of 25-30. I needed to hear this even if it's just to encourage me. Really appreciate it🎉😊

The fact that at least 90% of male celebrities aren't dating or married to plus size women proves Murphy's theory. As a black man I know all too well about the stigma that we like bigger girls, but all the black entertainers I see are never around them.

A lot of you guys didn't pay attention to the dude. His answer to the question is that it depends on your environment and what you're going through (even e.g. his miniscule example of before vs. after a meal): it's not a simple "Yes." or "No." JFC.

That’s a hard no. Women didn’t accept or want me when I was just a little obese. I remedied that through diet and exercise. So why exactly should I accept an obese partner myself? What he is talking about Seems more like wishful thinking.

Being gay and coming from a family that hates fat people, I was shocked when I made straight friends in my neighborhood and found out they were all low key into big girls

Desperation is the answer.

I listened to the whole video, he said generally men pick bigger women out of scarcity. Men with options tend to go for women in shape. Thats 💯.

I think that it’s CONFIDENCE that’s attractive and the movement of women feeling BEAUTIFUL in their own bodies irrespective of what men think is what’s leading to men approaching bigger women these days. Cultures change. And so do preferences. Images of beauty have always been fluid. Long, thick hair, short, bobbed hair, large breasts, small breasts, etc, etc. Now, finally….women just don’t care anymore. We’re enjoying the body we were given. Period!

Gluttony, and other deadly sins, are making a comeback thanks to wokethink.

I love that the comments under this are all just " We're not".

I have lived in a communist country when food scarcity was a real problem (during communism and a few years aftewards). Almost no guy in my school/highschool was into fat girls. Also, I haven't changed my preferences after 5 days of full-fasting (only water). Just because you can concoct an evolutionary-based explanation doesn't make it correct.

Speak for yourself.

In the context of an abundance of resources, it makes sense that skinny women are sexy. It signals the ability to remain healthy in that environment of abundance

This is where it's useful to have a woman involved in the conversation. Sometimes men can't see the forest for the trees. When speaking of thick or heavy women, one must consider shape first. If a woman has a relatively smaller waist with wider hips and thighs, she's still desired by men. That's why Zulu men still want their women. They tend to be hourglass and pear shaped, even as they gain weight. This is NOT true for rectangle and apple shaped women-the women built like SpongeBob SquarePants. Those women are not the preference, even amongst men who like heavier women. Just look at a catalogue or online shop and you'll see what shape is heavily favored even in plus-sized clothing.

I don't believe it for a second. This guy thinks boobs were made for guys, you may like them chaps, but they're mammary glands not sexual organs. Smh.

All the men I know that has ever said they are attracted to bigger women are just coping. How do I know? Every time after they level up, gets in better shape and/or obtain higher status, their "attraction" to bigger women is suddenly gone. What a mystery huh? 😂

The problem with evolutionary psychology is that we are trying to explain the present via a past we know even less about.

Without defining “Bigger Women” the question is meaningless. Personally I don’t find skinny women attractive. Touching them is even worse. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with skinny girls and plenty of guys love that but it’s not my thing. That’s doesn’t mean I’m attracted to obesity though. My girl is far from obese but she has bigger thighs, butt, and hips than she’d prefer. I absolutely love it. I find that extra cushion very feminine and it just feels good. I’m not a big jacked body builder type dude but people give me compliments on my physique. I don’t know about bf% but nothing is soft and I have a 6 pack. A hard body pressing or bouncing against a hard body isn’t my thing. She loves how solid and masculine I feel and I love how soft and feminine she feels. There’s a lid for every pot I guess.

lol - no men with options are "into bigger women"

We’re not. Bigger women just approach us guys. The reason we won’t approach women is out of fear of being accused of something or of rejection. It depends on the dude, but most of the time these are contributing factors

We should differentiate when we say "bigger." A woman with a bit of body fat who is otherwise in decent shape, that's sexy. A woman who looks like Gorlock the Destroyer...that's utterly disgusting (though I'm sure there are a few dudes out there who prefer women at that size). So I think the hypothesis generally holds up, but fails hard toward the extremes. A woman with a BMI of 38 is what I would consider morbidly obese--at least at or near average height levels (BMI skews heavily against taller folks). At that level, one's body is having to compensate for its extra weight, and on a long enough time line will begin to suffer chronic health issues.

We are NOT attracted to large women. Some men might settle since so many women are large. (Did not watch, just responding to the title. Not worth my time)

Bigger as in well developed round large glutes, yes. Bigger as in it looks like someone poured pantyhose full of cottage cheese, hell no. Bigger as in still a mesomorph, yes. Bigger as in either pear or apple endomorph, he’ll no.

"It's not my style to comment on specific women's bodies" three seconds after giving a judgement on the attractiveness of a woman's body. Smooth.

Nope! Since when is being overweight and out of shape sexy?

Anytime someone brings up "evolution" I tune out .

those men are just desperate most of the time, no attraction there

Nah...

I am. Death by Snu Snu. EDIT: Oh wait, he said body fat? Meaning fat? What is this guy on about? Lol.

"Fatty boom boom" Is a celebration of big women. It's a reggae song. Jamaica is a resource poor country. The hypothesis is spot on.

The ratio of likes vs dislikes speak for itself

They’re not. Some “men” are just easily influenced & have are easily influenced & conditioned to do as they’re told.

Not to mention low body fat wrecks a woman's estrogen and ability to concieve.

Where do I find that thing used on the walls for isolating sound echo? What is it called?

Just looked at the BMI chart and my preference in women's body types confirms that I have caveman brain

Fit, feminine, petite women are what I find attractive.

‪From Americas, Rome, Saxony, Poland, to the Scandinavias, arabic, and Proto-Slavic countries, as well as Asia, this was NOT the case. I have thousands of historical resources depicting the opposite of what he’s suggesting.‬ In addition, obese women have significantly higher risks during pregnancy. There are plenty of studies on this, and most prospective parents learn about this when they have their first kid. ‪Maybe in some African hunter-gatherer societies it’s corollary, but I’m not convinced it’s a general rule.

No. 99.9% are not. If you give the mic to the 0.01%, they'd make you believe that all men are attracted to bigger women.

i must have missed this update..

Nope, i prefer a fitter woman as do most.

Uh, we're not.

He’s talking BS.

Am wrong in assuming that what I need in a time of scarcity vs what I value in a partner are different? Yes I may need food in times of scarcity but I shouldn’t over eat it when it isn’t scarce. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

The devil is a liar.

I think there is a huge argument for what's attractive verses what's accepted for or settled for

Maybe some guys can see their altered, photoshopped pictures online and think they look good.. but i guarantee you, face to face, they will not be attracted to them

Yeah this Macken Murphy guy is really unlikeable. From his opinions to general demeanour, this was one of the few episodes I couldn't get through. Please don't have him again

Short answer: We aren't.

Define bigger, no one wants to date a stick but at the same time no one wants to date the base of the tree either.

Answer: Supply and Demand.

Speak for yourself bud. Wild take

It's probably that the majority of men in the West date the women that are present, and those women tend to have higher BMIs today. Meanwhile, men with the means to leave the West don't take that "bigger is better" beauty standard with them.

" I really wanna take 1 for the team !"said no man EVER !...

I wish there was some pictures of the women in the video or a link leading to the pictures in the description.
