It might be just an exception, but I've seen a striking example involving one of my acquaintances.
When she was around 30 years old, just barely a little chubby, she started to get wrinkles, and she looked somewhat older than her age.
Now she is 35 years old, and gained a lot of weight during the last few years. Her hips got significantly wider, her belly button turned into a deep crease, making her belly start to hang, but at the same time it pokes out farther forward than her quite sizeable breasts. Her face is rounder now, but without her chin getting too big to distort it, and her wrinkles disappeared.
What is interesting, is that she looks much younger now. I bet she could hang around with twenty-somethings and not stand out. If she told you that she's 25, you would probably believe her without a second thought.
I know that it's not because of my biases as a FA, because I know people who don't have similar preferences at all, but they still say how young she looks now. She is much more confident now and is happier with her life (unrelated to her weight), this might also have some effect.
Did anyone else have similar experiences? I guess it heavily depends on how one's weight is distributed. Some people might be luckier than others.
