Why is everybody either skinny or "slightly fat"?

Because we aren't obese.

Because we aren't obese.

Or maybe the people who are obese are just too self conscious to share.

Let's face it. 90% of the people playing DF are 'nerds'. 90% of nerds have weight issues (call it either ecto- or endomorphic if you like) due to them rather spending time on their favorite, not-so-healthy hobby than on working out, etc. Unhealthy lifestyle + reduced interpersonal contact (also known as nerd reclusiveness) can lead to 'psychological problems' and vice versa. The ones that do have problems find it easier to admit these by detaching and projecting their faults onto another personality (here: a dwarf) while most people will even then try to stay within the society norms, downplaying the severity of their problems; which is why you will see mostly 'skinny' or 'slightly fat' as opposed to 'thin as a stick' or 'the moon' and the amount of depressive people.
90% of the people on this forum already know that - either consciously or subconsciously -, they just don't want to or cant be bothered to say it out loud. So I can't really understand as to why this comes as such a suprise - in any case, now that this is out of the way, can we proceed on using this thread in the way it was intended? I find the idea of expressing yourself as a dwarven personality amusing.

90% is of course not accurate, replace it with a nice, imprecise "a lot" if you want statistical ... accuracy.

Stop being such grumpyfaces and have some fun. At the end of the day, all your actions on the internet, your daily movements and your economic transactions are recorded, mapped and distributed in several chains to countless marketing and government agencies. Whoever you are, whatever you like and by whatever concious or subconcious patterns you act - they know.

Worrying about exposing yourself to the evil forces of the global market by dwarfing yourself seems a bit overly paranoid.
