When I was 16, I was really into a super hot girl that I hooked up once. Then she got really fat. So my brain shortcircuited and had to either stop liking her or like fat girls.
Interesting. It almost sounda like you were in love with that girl back then. But i could be wrong.
Your story reminds me of an article i read somehere online about a guy who said he didn't realize he liked fat women until his wife got fat...and he loved it! My hypothesis is that, sometimes, an individual isn't initially attracted to fat people , but cares about a second individual a great deal. Then that second person gets fat. And if the love/attraction/lust/ whatever you want to call it that the first individual has for the second person is too strong for their initial disenterest/disgust in fat people to overcome, the brain unconciously reconciles the contradiction by "deciding" that first person is attracted to fat people after all. Thus, cognitive disonance is resolved in the first individual.
But i could be wrong. Maybe that wasn't your experience at all.
