Study Proves Men Prefer Curvy Women …
The media obsession with skinny women might just be a whole load of junk afterall. This recently conducted study proves that men actually prefer curvy women with shapely hips as opposed to the media promoted waif like appearance. *silently celebrates*
Researchers had 14 men rate how attractive they found pictures of the naked behinds of seven women before and after cosmetic surgery that gave them more shapely hips. Now remember, that these operations did not reduce weight but merely redistributed it. The result? Brain scans of the men showed that seeing the post-surgery pictures activated parts of the brain linked with rewards similar to when alcohol or drugs are consumed. It was also noted that changes in a woman’s BMI, commonly used to measure body fat only affected brain areas linked to simple visual evaluations of size and shape. In other words, the parameters of female beauty on the basis of body fat are defined more by society as opposed to a man’s natural brain wiring. Bad society!
She says: I am curvy myself but honestly, I think the study by itself was flawed considering the men were shown before and after cosmetic surgery pictures. Of course, they’d prefer the perfect, after-surgery derriers. Does that necessarily prove that men prefer curvy women? I don’t think so. Maybe Yusuf can shed some more light on this.
He says: I do not claim to speak for all men here, but yes I do agree with the results of the research (not so much on how it was conducted). A curvy and natural body is definitely more my type than a thin matchstick frame!
Sometimes, I think we give way too much importance to what men think. Who cares if they like women skinny or curvy. We’re better off being grateful for what we have and staying healthy. Don’t you agree?

Yeah I know what you mean. We are trying to make navigation between the segments easier though. And thanks for checking it out :) You’re a doll! Btw, is that Fb request you?
That would be me back in Texas. That was the year I put on a LOT of weight!
Yes we are best buddies, been so for 8 years now! But no, we are not a couple. We were in college together and we did our piloting together so yeah, he is ... See more my best friend. He still writes for our celeb website: http://celebs.allwomenstalk.com/. You can check out his stuff there! :)
I’ve seen your pictures on your blog and I think you have a fantastic body hun! :)
for the repulsive comment: i agree if the girl looks way sick, aside that, be carefull how you express yourself.
two of our mates (both girls) were talking about their weights, which got us thinking that skinny girls are actually repulsive. people ... See more are in the mindset that any fat is bad fat, but theres good fat too! fat only become bad when either major rolls start to form, of when someones body get out of proportion. this means you can have a great deal of fat on you, if you’re in proportion :D so stop obsessing ;)
As much as I wanna scream and shout and say yippee, I also think it’s sorta mean to call skinny girls repulsive. Guess it comes down to individual likes and tastes.
Thanks for ... See more reading and commenting! :)
Sorry about that :(
Like I said though, the study seemed flawed to me. So no need to feel terrible. :)
Thanks a ton for those sweet words hun. Glad you enjoyed the post and yes… skinny or otherwise, it is all in the attitude at the end of the day :)
There have been many studies that have proven men are more attracted to women with a waist-to-hip ratio of .7 to .9 range (divide waist measurements by hip measurements). As my doctor likes to say, those are some “good birthing hips.”
Woot! I’m exactly at 0.7 :D
I don’t know if my hips are going to be used for birthing anytime soon, but I’m more than happy with them :)
