Apparently, men who marry plus-size women are happier.

I'm guessing because choosing a mate largely based on looks as a factor is done by shallow people and shallow people are seldom happier. Plus, peoples weight can fluctuate a great deal throughout life, and if you don't care, if it doesn't offend you personally, you're probably more likely to be happier.
The article doesn't link the research paper, give a single statistic or give the metrics evaluated....
Wouldn't all those things screw up the story, more than likely written by someone plus size who needs a man?
Skinny women are too high maintenance.
Not true. Some women are high maintenance some aren't. Probably the same with men.
@Sticks48 Yes. We're all equal.
@Wildflower Some are more equal than others.
I have a friend who is slim and athletic. He is a big hiker and even walked the whole Appalachian trail. His wife is + size, has diabetes and drives a block to the library. She is a big time bridge player (and he not). They seem very happy together.
Maybe it's because there's no pressure to answer questions like "does this dress make my butt look big?"
A lot of men are into energy efficiency. Makes them happy.
