As far as humans preferring healthy mates, that is just a simple fact.  If their mate is healthy, they get to combine their genes (which nature drives then to pass on) with those of a healthy person's which makes their offspring more likely to be healthy and more likely to survive and hence, pass on their genes further.  A plump woman with ample body fat is much more able to carry a healthy baby than a skin and bones woman, which probably explains why many men prefer a plump, soft, larger woman over a very skinny one.  Women that are too skinny stop menstruating anyway, which obviously makes them unable to bear children.

what the hell is 0.7 ratio?

but i have to say i would rather be with a woman with a little "meat" on her rather than a really skinny person.
