Haha, let me introduce you to the bear community. TBH, I can't say for sure, but at least in this area, the gay community is very diverse in weight and bears / chubs are very popular. Going on a gay dating app as a chub you get mobbed like a skinny blond woman does on a straight app.

I think you're mixing up the fact of outlier (subgroups) with the location of the mean in a normal distribution. Looking at the pictures in question it does seem to me that GP has a point, i.e. BMI could be a simple proxy for what the NN is detecting as sexual preference.
