Men lusting for less curves

The Age ^ | 12/20/2002

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.

I've always tended to find lraner women more attractive. Marylyn Monroe impressed me as being a sloppy cow. Grace Kelly was thinner and raised my blood pressure 15 points.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Curves and Boobies. I'll take them every time.

Also, Loren Bacall was lean hen she was young, but could buckle my knees.

Given their results, one would have to believe they only read the articles.

Just whistle. You know how to whistle don't you, Steve? Just put you lips together and....blow.

weirdos that were passing for models! They looked like pale, strung-out, sticks

,,, the escaped from rehab look doesn't do it for me either.

[rmlew]

No, for the last 50 years, we have had gay men and drugged out perverts defining beuty.
Is it any suprise tah the ideal for these are 12 year old boys and girls?

Loren Bacall was lean when she was young..

She was boney and had an unpleasent accent, the first of the scrawny broads, as the were known in the NE, all brain no Butt.

[Polybius]

Nobody asked ME...me like curves. Lots of curves.

Oh, ArcLight! That's all it took for me to switch back the other way. Come right over. I have curves. Lots of curves!

Love,
Rosie

[A CA Guy]

Wow, quite a sight, but I wonder how long this will last on a family site?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Here's a couple of sloppy cows for you.

[Paul Atreides]

The grunge movement ruined the way girls look.

[keats5]

Well I wish you guys would make up your minds already. I'd like to know if I could eat another cookie!

[Little Bill]
