Looking At Curvy Women 'Gives Men The Same High As Alcohol or Drugs'

FIONA MACRAE 25th February 2010

For millions of women fretting about their weight the news will be a huge relief, men prefer a curvier figure. Not only that, the effect on the male brain of a shapely woman is, apparently, comparable with that of beer and brandy. According to research, figures such as Beyonce's also light up the male brain in the same way as illegal drugs.

Singers Beyonce Knowles and Christina Hendricks are both known for their curves. A new study has revealed why men find their shapes so attractive Acknowledging that the findings were not groundbreaking, Dr Steven Platek reckoned: 'Hugh Hefner could have told us that by showing us how many zeroes are in his bank account.

'But there is more to it than buying Playboy, Maxim or FHM. 'The caucasian, westernised female has somehow been duped into thinking men like very skinny, waify, Kate Moss-type girls. Curviness is the trump card. It's worth it's reproductive weight in gold.

Original pin-up: Marilyn Monroe was one of the first on the silver screen to champion the hour-glass figure 'This research explains things like sexual harassment and whistling at the hot girl in the street. 'These findings could help further our understanding of pornography addiction and related disorders and lend to the scientific inquiry about infidelity.' Researchers in Georgia, in the U.S., scanned the brains of 14 young men as they looked at before and after pictures of nude women who had plastic surgery to give them more shapely hips and bottoms.

As if you needed a study...

Hay what the heck, useless liberal 'studiers' need something to do in order to justify their government grant money and existence as viable human beings, so they come up with this sorta obvious nonsense ...

Hell, I would've come up with the same conclusion if asked, and done it for free and in about 1/2 a second ... I don't need to *study* the situation ... /laughs

They needed to conduct research to figure this out? I realized this back in grade school lol. All you have to do is visit any college, any office, any bar, anywhere men and women get together to realize the effect beautiful women have on men.

And good call on Beyonce - I wasn't that big a fan of her looks earlier in her career, but she's incredible these days.

Uh, yeah. They didn't have women before 1953.

I would rather have the curvy woman first, and then share a bottle of champagne or two with her.

my hypothesis is that all the scrawny, waif-like female models who look like pre-pubescent boys have been foisted upon us by the “gay mafia” of fashion designers, photographers, journalists, magazine staffers, etc.

What healthy heterosexual male fantasizes about Kate Moss and her ilk??????

no, it is the fasion biz that has pushed that stuff upon us all
