Skinny ectomorph men are largely undesirable. They are viewed as weak, effeminate to most women. Which means many of them will not procreate.
This trait however is favorable on women. If underweight, they can gain some weight and still remain gracefully slim. If they become skinny fat, a little cardio is all that is needed to tone up. Naturally slim women age like fine wine. After marriage and childbirth they do not get fat like their counterparts (medium and large framed women). As they get older and metabolism slows, they will gain some weight on their hips and can have lovely curves that were once unattainable in their youth. Perfect example would be celebrities like Elizabeth Hurley.
Since most women aren’t attracted to skinny men, this reduces the frequency of the ectomorph gene being passed on. Large majority of the burden rests on the slim ectomorph women to pass on this trait to their potential daughters.
As obesity rate rises in developed countries and the undesirability of thin men, will this genetic trait eventually go extinct?
