Uhh, I don't wanna be the "it's because of porn!!" guy, but do you watch porn or consume other erotic material? I'm not going to tell you to quit or whatever, but I do think it can influence your perspective and it wouldn't hurt to be aware.

Just curious-- what in the OP's post made you think she watches porn? I don't think you have to watch porn to be influenced by societal ideas about weight gain, if that's what you're implying.

Also-- you're a guy..? Sorry, I am a little confused.

It didn't, that's why I asked.

Based on my personal experiences, I find that it can narrow the type of women I'm attracted to significantly when I over do it. (i.e. it can turn a preference into almost a deal-breaker). But you're right in that SFW media does have a similar effect. It's one thing if OP is naturally turned off by larger women, but since she's asking for alternatives, it doesn't hurt to check if she's being influenced in other ways.

Also-- you're a guy..?

No, I'm using the term neutrally. I'm biologically female.
