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.

That reminds me: who do you think was the best Bond girl?

Can be no doubt. Was beautiful and charming Major Rosa Klebb:

I confess I don't really like the thought of this Web site being a place for conservatives to go, for soft porn.

That's a downward curve.

Even more important...I'd like to see some pictures of you guys ......

C'mom...you can't fool me...that's not you. It's John Kerry.

Don't worry. The thread has been moved to the backroom. No one will see it.

Now back to the 50,000 Trent Lott threads and every freeper's Lord of the Rings Movie Review Vanity.

Is it just me, or are a lot of the guys here misinterpreting "curvy" as "just having huge fake t***"?

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Huge bags of chemicals placed under the skin are just gross.

I think it depends on the age group.

Now, me being a middle-aged man and one who has fond memories of his adolesence in the sixties, I lean towards the Elke Sommers, Claudia Cardinales, Romy Schneiders and Ursula Andresses. You know, the one who grew their own without artificial enhancement.

Believe it or not, several have mentioned a resemblence.
