From studies I have read, size invariably matters more to men than to women, who are more forgiving of size, big or small, in favour of spiritual or attitudinal characteristics.
I think, too, that women understand better how little a shape matters, when they take on so many shapes in their lifetime, including pregnancy, which distorts the figure completely, and where the aftermath of pregnancy often leaves skin stretched beyond repair, no matter how much exercise they do.
A woman's experience of shape is wider than a man's in many ways, since she knows that she is capable of loving all shapes and sizes of people, from babies to geriatrics just for whom they are, and not for their ever changing sizes.
