Actually, historically, it was always the fat people that were looked to, to guide people, as they were obviously the ones who knew how to survive through the winter. In fact, far from not taking care of themselves, they appear to be taking very, very good care of themselves, making sure they are happy and well-fed. But, that's only history and why should we let historical perspective and the truth of human nature get in the way of a good rant.
I would prefer a Master who is fat, which means he is either enjoying himself immensely or has a a serious medical condition that is not his fault, to one who is obviously so weak-willed that he is kowtowing to the ideals of the masses.
And, most creditable Mistresses are normal-sized, which, unfortunately, in this day and age, means that they are fat, because, what is normal for an adult human female, versus what is considered normal by insurance charts, magazine covers, etc. is not at all the same. Normal is in the size 12 -18 range, not the 2-10 range!
Oh, there are exceptions. My daughter is a size 2, and, she is one of the only size 2 women I have ever seen who is naturally a size 2. She does not starve herself or deny herself the pleasures of a tasty meal, or a good mixed cocktail, to stay that size, nor does she exercise an abnormal amount to try to conform.
She, in fact, exercises significantly less than I do, and, eats significantly more, on most days.
I am the weight I am, she is the weight she is. They are both the natural states of our bodies. Some of the reason I weight more is very specifically medical problems, but, even without them, I am absolutely a bigger person than her and I was made fun of for being "overweight" all my life, even when I was wearing size zero shorts in Jr. High, or size 5 later on in life, because, I naturally have giant bones. I have shoulders a football player would envy, which I know, because, they always did in school. I have always, then, been technically heavier than other people of the same size, due to actual bone and muscle mass, and, always been curvier for the same reasons.
It was not unhealthy, though.
Currently, I have a higher body fat percentage than I would like, but, it is lower than anyone else in my family's, including both of my daughters and all their little stick friends.
Being perceived as being overweight, or thin, or the right weight, does not mean the perception is always correct; nor, does it mean, even if the perception is correct, that the reasons assumed are correct.
It's like this: You see a guy who never gets off his ass and helps with work, so, you assume he is lazy. However, that's making the assumption, without knowing what he does when you are not looking, because, maybe he's been working 16 hours a day, and, you see him the 8 hours he is using to rest up. And, that's without knowing his medical history, because, maybe his spine's been snapped, and, he can't stand. And, maybe he's still doing 16 hours of work a day, but, never standing up.
You don't know, until you actually get to know the person. And, even then, you have to accept the fact that they are human. If a Master you are talking to is overweight, ask him why he is overweight and find out what his viewpoint on that is. You might find that he is taking care of his ailing grandmother, plus working all day, and, has no time to exercise or prepare healthy meals and that's part of what he wants an s-type for, is to correct those areas of his life, which are out of his control, not based on his inability to take care of himself, but, based on his responsibilities to care for another.
Anything other than coming to know the person and finding out their circumstances, is gross and prejudicial, hate-filled assumption. Which tells me that I don't want to know you, based on the facts of the situation, not based on what I think you might be like when I look at your photo.
