Enas:
Im curious, why is the statistic higher for men? O.o

If it's just fat fetish and it counts both enjoying being fat and being attracted to fat partners, then the explanation is relatively easy.
Usually the fetish in men is being a FA, and the fetish in women is being a feedee. Of course there are exceptions, but this does indeed seem to be a general trend, we can even notice this by a casual glance on profiles and forums on this very site.
So the question might as well be why are there more FAs than feedees. I have many guesses for this, one of them is that it's easier to be attracted to someone who is very fat, than to actually take the health and mobility and social risks of becoming extremely fat.
I won't disagree with that, but that doesn't account for those who fantasize about gaining and don't.
I've also noticed this study doesn't really factor in mutual gainers.
All that said, best I can tell, this study seems to focus on the online aspect. And I get it. It's a lot easier to collect data this way. But it doesn't factor in offline feedists who are nearly impossible to survey.
I wish this was a more scientific study with a robust methodology break down and statistics. It would be easier to check for unintended variables that might influence the results.
