Men lusting for less curves

The Age ^ | 12/20/2002

[ArcLight]

Men's taste in women has changed dramatically over the past half-century, shifting away from girls with curves and big breasts towards the androgynous and the skinny.

The assertion comes from two psychoanalysts who pored over every Playboy from December 1953 and calculated the body mass index of every centrefold. Over 577 issues, the models became taller and their waist increased, while their hips became narrower and their bust became smaller. If Playboy is any guide, the needle on the male sexual compass has switched from Marilyn Monroe to Eva Herzigova, the scientists say.

First, Right-click the picture. Click "Properties". Highlight the URL of the picture, then right-click again and click "copy".

When posting, use the HTML tags thus : < IMG SRC=" and paste the URL for the pic here ">.

Not to spoil anybody's fun, but is this the current ideal according to these scientists?

[Revolting cat!]

Well, I'll choose these curves any day!

B.S. I like the feel of a womans curve next to me. The kind that I can wrap a hand around. This is total crap !!

It could go on forever!

And every post of a BW (beautiful woman) disproves the original article!

Do you remember Sophia in 'Houseboat'?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Brought up on pasta and beans, Sophia Loren, considered to be one of the great beauties of her time, was the bane of designers who considered her body "lumpy."

Now that you know how, why not give it a try!

Post a photo of a BW.

Actually, no. A little before my time, unfortunately. To be honest, my first exposure to Ms. Loren in a movie was in Grumpier Old Men, whence she starred (at age 60!) opposite the late (and lucky) Walter Matthau. I recall her red-dressed walk into the local watering hole in that movie well. I looked at Mrs. Cut and said, "Goood Bless 'Er!"

[unixfox]

I'm with ya man, nuthin like a curve next to ya.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

If you want to see Loren in her sexiest, rent 'Boy on a Dolphin ' and 'Houseboat'.

You can serve me that "lumpy oatmeal" any time!
