As a rather large man myself, I've dated women who, while rather fit themselves, just preferred the "big boys" as it was often put. Often an attribute they were fond of was the feeling of being protected, where a smaller guy they claimed nearly unanimously they felt like they would have to defend him, not the other way around.

I suppose people with other fetishes such as feet, or something would potentially be more of a "case by case" basis or something. I had a friend who actually dated a girl due to her having pretty feet (apparently she wore sandals their first date).
