This trope is OlderThanDirt. While the [[http://www.judgmentofparis.com/pinacotheca/rubens.htm Baroque paintings]] of Peter Paul Rubens gave rise to the term "Rubensesque" (commonly misspelled and mispronounced Rubenesque; note the two S's), heavy-set women have been praised as sex symbols since ancient times. In a time where health and nutrition were the exception rather than the rule, girth was a sign of wealth, and if a large woman can provide so much for herself, logic dictated that she would also be able to provide for her children and bring healthy babies to term. Many an academic has theorized on when and why skeletal women became the standard of beauty in modern Western society, but in societies where women bear responsibility for bringing back food and in those where women are economically independent, heavier women are considered more attractive. (This was probably a gradual change that took decades, if not centuries, as the scarcity of food turned into a surplus. Hence, fat people got struck with the "couch potato" / "welfare queen" image, which implied that they'd care neither for their bodies nor anything else - like, their real or potential children or partners.) The anthropologist who [[http://www.newsweek.com/id/202789/page/2 reported this]] puts it like so: Which body type men prefer "should depend on the degree to which they want their mates to be strong, tough, economically successful and politically competitive."
