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.

That is a very cool picture of Mae West!

She and Jean Harlow sort of established the 20th Century hotness scale.

scrawny, waiflike women have advantages in fashion. they end up being more uniform in size, curvy women vary an awful lot, and scrawny ones much less likely to flucuate in size.
also you can use significantly less fabric on a tiny girl.

personally, i just like women. scrawny, curvy, athletic, soft... whatever. outer beauty is only a reason to say hi, inner beauty is a reason to say “i do.”

i never said what it takes to say “lets go back to your place”.. about all that takes is correct anatomy and inversely proportionate amounts of alcohol.
