King of Queens was an entire show about this. Plenty of women were outraged at the concept of this beautiful women being with a fat man like it's just totally normal. People just don't want to see fat women doing normal things. It's a dumb double standard in our culture.

From an evolutionary standpoint the argument for why we see more fat man/skinny woman combos might be:

fat tall man = strong, more intimidating

I guess if we see the man in the role as the protector,in the relationship then being overweight can be benificial.
