Many foids seem to believe that getting as lean as possible will increase their sex appeal. While this may be true for men, this sentiment does not translate to foids.
Some foids may idealize the skinny/model body type, see image:
However, due to evolution, the human mind is able to inherently identify indicators of parental fitness/fertility. Since the above model appears less fertile, men will find her less attractive. But, because females find lower body fat attractive, they extrapolate that to themselves.
Some fertility/fitness indicators for men include:
Conversely, Female fertility indicators are generally more focused on the foids ability to incubate and give birth. They include:
Evolutionarily, you would expect males to be able to recognize this, which they can. In this study (ignore the horrible website-- lots of flawed research on the topic) on 1,072 men, they rated the body that roughly corresponds with 25% (arguably more) body fat. For reference, most runway models, like the one pictured above, are roughly 15-17% body fat.
Therefore, by cutting to significantly under this number foids are shooting themselves in the foot in terms of attractiveness.
Additionally, having some body fat is essential to maintain hormone production. Estrogen is also responsible for skin quality, so reduced estrogen production would compound the effects of being overly skinny on your smv.
TLDR/Conclusion: Starvemaxxing to below 25% as a foid is stupid and will drop your smv as well as giving you REDS and nuking your fertility indicators.

Some fertility/fitness indicators for men include:
- Muscle mass (indicates ability to defend family)
- Skin quality (indicates health)
- Height (indicates proper nutrition and environmental adaptation)
Conversely, Female fertility indicators are generally more focused on the foids ability to incubate and give birth. They include:
- Wide hips (indicates a birth canal wide enough for a child to come out)
- Large breasts (indicates adequate milk production to support a child)
- Skin quality (same as above)
- Moderate body fat (indicates ability to find food and produce adequate hormones for pregnancy)
