Just here....have all my upvotes! Throws more upvotes around for this post

I've been growing my nails out since February and finally doubled the nail bed. Joy! Nicely done manicures delight me. Ugly manicures on fat, stubby, sausage fingers are endlessly irritating. Why do they even bother? It looks so fucked up to see a nail growing out of fat fingers.

I believe I know why this is. The body tends to store fat only over muscle. If you think about a normal human being, they will have fat on their upper arms, chest, abdomen, butt, and thighs mostly. These are where all the biggest muscles are. The body very rarely stores fat over bones. You don't see thin people with fat elbows, hands, knees, or feet (or foreheads). Fat will only be stored there when the body has simply exhausted every other place and no longer has a choice. It is a very unnatural thing and it therefore triggers a disease antipathy in us. Seeing fatty bony areas is a sign of very physically manifested poor health. It's just the same as seeing grossly discoloured skin ... which fats also tend to have. I believe it is extremely normal and logical to be unusually revolted by fat hands beyond the normal revulsion for a pot belly, for example.
