But why men should prefer smaller women is unclear, says Daniel Nettle of the Open University, who led the research

I can't believe she doesn't know this one....it has nothing to do with fertility reasons..hahahah....and she did the research!
I THINK.....The reason men pick smaller women is because they look bigger...they can manage her more easily they consider her cute (important to show off to friends), they think she won't eat much, she's considered petite(they like that)....and overall it just makes the man feel powerful.

...and you forgot that if they have a flat head, it makes a perfect beer rest.

No, nothing like that at all.It just so much easier to stuff them in a suitcase this way, for a long road trip ;-)

Have you tried the other POV? That maybe its easier to feel protective when they are smaller?? It's a common thing that a man is very protective to his woman.Imagine that, can you?
