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.'

So, we are spending this much on studying the effect of the woman’s form on men. How about spending money figuring out why men are attracted to other men, or worse, children?

The women in posts number [11, 17, 23, 24, 26, 34, 40, and 41] are all acceptably curvy to me. Especially #23.
