Chubby girls are nicer people

[Gilly]

Right, agreed.

Cyclops, are you chubby? Maybe this is why chubby girls are nicer to you?

There's scientific proof of this actually. At least for rats.

A history of caloric restriction induces neurochemical and behavioral changes in rats consistent with models of depression

This study fails to account for other possibilities for their depression: being stuck in lab, not being able to join a raid on WoW, forgetting to TiVo The Rescuers, and more importantly, the ever pervasive frustration of "not getting any," though scientists are likely misinterpreting what rats meant by this response.

Right, agreed.

I like you

[Gilly]

I like you

Because I agree with you?

Yup lol That and I can assume that since you agree with me you also understood me. Truth be told I came back into this thread ready to prove my point in about 3 different ways, the fact that I didn't have to was what prompted my original "I like you"

Hah!

Well, I do try...

Well, a girl that doesn't hold herself back excessively with food is less likely to be bitchy because of low blood sugar, excessive self-control, etc.

Basically, what I've found is: if a girl is naturally a bit chubby, but becomes skinny due to hard dieting, she will be kind of bitchy. In this case, the chubby girl that embraces her natural body type will be a generally better person, less inhibited, etc.

However, if a skinny girl is naturally skinny (fast metabolism, etc) - that doesn't lower her chances of being nice w.r.t to the second girl described above.

Now, how does this may tie into Cyclops observation? By adding the fact that girls, on average, tend to be more on the chubby side rather than on the skinny side. So, in a population with equal percentages of chubby and skinny, most of the chubby-s will be naturally so, thus less stressed, anxious and inhibited, while part of the population of the skinny ones would have been naturally chubby. If we add that this part is also likely the most concerned about appearance, and thus most likely to be "out there", the Cyclops observation seems to hold true, even if perhaps the root of the problem is less simple.
