Conversely people who are fit and in shape display traits of health, it’s not only weight looks at people who tan. People with white pale skin (me unfortunately) display traits of unhealthiness, because the body knows when your sick you start too loose your color. Conversely people who tan look healthy and vibrant. So some who is ugly is someone who looks unhealthy.

Aint buying this.
maybe in the "western" world this may hold true as we have been conditioned to believe that "thin" is in.
look at a whole bunch of other places around the world....and the standards are completely different.
What is considered "unhealthy" here....is considered quite attractive in other cultures.
It just isnt that simple.....as "fat" is also a subjective term. Some are obvious and some are not....meaning exactly what I might consider fat....you may find well within your desireable range. Everyone is different and as such have very different standards as to what they are attracted too.
