First of all, I think it is necessary to re-examine the meaning of this idiom. To be broad-minded and fat, the last word is not pronounced pang, but pan, which means that a person has a broad mind and a peaceful appearance. It has nothing to do with whether a person is fat or not.

Back to your question, are fat people more suitable to be friends? That's not necessarily true. I do have fat friends around me. They are kind-hearted and easy to get close to. But not all fat people are good. I remember when I first started school, I met a fat man who seemed very docile, but after getting along with him, I found that he was a very ambitious person and always wanted to take a leadership position to deal with problems. This is what I dislike very much. Being domineering and meddlesome is really not an understandable way for friends to get along with each other. Therefore, I give a cross to the proposition that fat people are more suitable as friends.

If I understand your words differently, then people with an open mind are indeed more suitable to be friends. If you don't have to worry about something with him or have to deal with everything, how wonderful would your life be?

My father has a very good friend who is so good that they basically don’t care about anything. I often go shopping with my dad. When he sees something particularly good in the supermarket, when he buys one for himself, he doesn’t forget to bring one for his friends, even if it’s just a very fresh vegetable. They don't care about the cost and always scramble to pay when they go out. I asked my dad, wouldn’t it be a loss? But my dad told me that having a friend like this makes people happier than any amount of money. I didn't understand it at the time, but it wasn't until later that I had such a friend myself.

We often go out to play together, and naturally we don’t care about the cost. Although we all prefer the AA system, we don't care when it comes to paying for milk tea and drinks. Later, I thought about it, would we really lose money? In fact, it is not necessarily true, because we invited each other, so in general, there is almost no difference, and it is not a big amount in itself. At the same time, it also promotes the relationship between us, which is also excellent for our communication.

Furthermore, open-minded friends will easily forgive you for your faults. For example, if you do something that is sorry for them, or if you say something that is deep in your heart, they will not worry about it for too long. Even if you quarrel, you can make up immediately. Of course, you should also be a very generous person. Who wouldn't want such a friend?

So, my point of view is that fat people may not be suitable as friends, but fat people with a broad mind are definitely suitable as friends.
