In these countries, men are ready to carry overweight women in their arms (8 photos)

Despite the spread of fashion for body positivity in the 21st century, almost every woman still worries, and sometimes even gets very complex, about her figure. In most countries, women are usually worried about the appearance of extra pounds. But there are a number of countries in the world where, on the contrary, overweight representatives of the fair sex are considered the standard of beauty. It's all about mentality and ideas about beauty standards





Brazil

Our list opens with bright and sunny Brazil. And it is known that the vast majority of Brazilian women are the owners of luxurious forms. They attract the gaze of men with their voluminous buttocks and rounded wide hips. It is worth noting that not only Brazilian men find them attractive, but also men from other countries. According to some researchers, the obesity of Brazilian women has historical roots. Since the 15th century, the slave trade flourished in Brazil. This country was the largest importer of African slaves. Several generations of Brazilians lived in this era, and only well-fed people had a chance to survive at that time.

Mauritania

Mauritania is also included in our list, because it is believed that a woman’s weight is related to her beauty, and the more a woman weighs, the more beautiful she is, and, therefore, has greater success with the opposite sex and a high chance of marriage. In Mauritania, there are still customs and traditions associated with forced weight gain. Following the tradition of this country, girls begin to be specially fattened from an early age. From an early age, their diet contains large amounts of butter, full-fat milk, peanuts and other high-calorie foods. Many mothers take the responsibility of force-feeding their daughters quite seriously, forcing them to drink 2 liters of fatty milk at least 4 times a day.



It is believed that by the age of 13, a girl’s weight should reach 90 kilograms or her chances of marriage will be very small. Since many villages in Mauritania simply do not have schools, mothers thus invest in the beauty of their daughters in the hope of providing them with a good future. Of course, this tradition brings a lot of harm and problems, not only physical, but also psychological, and it is good that it is slowly becoming a thing of the past.

Kuwait

Women's plumpness is also considered beautiful in Kuwait. Women and girls here have no right to education. Local women devote all their time to housework and raising children. It is worth noting that fast food chains are quite well developed here. And Kuwaiti residents willingly prefer fast food over home-cooked food. It is therefore not surprising that Kuwait has long been on the list of countries with the highest rates of obesity among its population. Here it affects about 52% of women over 15 years of age. But no one thinks about this, because, in their opinion, obesity and physical massiveness are a sign of excellent health and good reproductive function.



Jamaica

Jamaica is also on our list of countries where female plumpness is considered attractive. More often, men have affairs with well-fed ladies. They find them relaxed and cheerful. They proudly walk next to their magnificent lady, because she symbolizes the generosity and wealth of a man. Slender ladies in Jamaica are associated with poverty and poor health. It turns out that there is an entire industry here focused on helping women gain weight. Pharmacies are actively selling special food additives that stimulate appetite. Large amounts of oil and sugars are deliberately added to food. This has resulted in 60% of Jamaican women now weighing twice the medical standard.



Mexico

Mexico was not left out of our interesting list. The beauty of the magnificent forms here is also due to the historical factor, because Mexico has never been a rich state. And ladies with an impressive figure symbolized prosperity and prosperity. Recently, the problem of overweight and obesity has become increasingly relevant in Mexico. And contrary to tradition, those who can afford a gym membership and eat healthy food are now considered wealthy.



Gretion

The Greeks have long been admirers of a calm and measured lifestyle, which contributed to excess weight gain. Greek men have always preferred curvy women and have always been favorable to them. Antique statues are proof of this. Slight obesity in women in Greece is a canon of beauty and is considered an indicator of good health. This state of affairs does not bother the women of Greece at all and they do not fight for a slim figure.

Tahiti

The cult of curvaceous figures has not bypassed Tahiti either. The fashion for being overweight has remained here to this day. Turning to the history and local customs of this country, we can learn about an interesting custom, according to which young girls had to be fattened before being married off.

An interesting fact is that the well-fed girl had to be shown to the leader, who would pronounce a verdict on whether she was suitable for marriage or not. It was believed that only a plump woman could bear and give birth to healthy children. The owner of extra pounds was considered the embodiment of femininity and sexual energy. Of course, today in Tahiti no one follows this tradition, but men still prefer curvy ladies.



Fiji

Overweight women will definitely feel comfortable in Fiji. Large waist sizes here will definitely not bother anyone, because food here has always been considered a symbol of success and prosperity. It is believed that those with impressive figures have good health and are able to raise a large number of children. And although plumpness in Fiji is considered the standard of female beauty, recently local authorities have increasingly begun to talk about changing their lifestyle. It has long been a proven fact that excessive obesity leads to the development of diseases, so local residents should long ago reconsider their views on the standard of the female figure.
