One can say that increasing obesity in the population favors women, because for them things like height, money and status is in general more important than their partner's BMI, Body Mass Index. While for guys BMI is perhaps the most important feature.
Countries with best "number of women per 100 men" ratio in the 20-29 age group according to United Nations 2012 World Population Prospects estimates for 2015:
122 Nepal
121 Curacao
111 Mayotte
110 Niger
110 Lebanon
110 Antigua and Barbuda
...
96 USA
91 China
When including only the share of women with an estimated BMI in the range 18-25 (WHO suggests 18.5 - 25 as the healthy range), but men of all BMIs we get the following number of women per 100 men in the 20-29 age group:
91 Nepal
80 Niger
79 Burundi
75 Madagaskar
75 Bangladesh
...
64 China
36 USA

Am I reading this right? There are 36 not-fat girls in the US for every 100 men? That's not even "cute" girls, that's girls who meet the bare minimum requirement to look good?
That's the most horrifying statistic I've ever heard.
