About time these folks figured this out:

Men like curvaceous woman. No news there, right?

.But there's a little more to it, according to a Gwinnett County professor. Women with curvy hips and smaller waists are to men as beer is to an alcoholic, according to Steven Platek of Georgia Gwinnett College.

"The Caucasian, westernized female has somehow been duped into thinking men like very skinny, waify, Kate Moss-type girls," Platek told the AJC on Tuesday.

But it's not true, according to Platek's research, published in an online science journal. Curvy women really do affect men's brains, Platek said. The amount of body fat may not even matter.

That's just not true. We all know almost all men like chicks with a small waist and bigger hips and boobs. That doesn't mean he likes a fatter women because curvy can still mean thin, just with that old favorite 36-24-36 ratio type body.

I disagree, some women are, but most are not doing that. Statistically most "westernized women" are overweight.

I keep reading this title as: Crazy women like a drug to men's brains

It's good to know research money is being spent wisely.


sometimes "I don't want attention" means "please give me attention"
sometimes no means yes
and "Stop, you're hurting me" means "I love you"

Curvy,muscular, skinny, dark, fair....'
Everyone has different taste and everything ain't for everybody. There is no one special body type that all men find irresistible.

A girl just right for me might be too thick for another man and the woman he drools over might be to gangly or not have enough bottom for me. People have a wide range of taste.
I'm brutish and overly muscular for most women but my lady likes me just fine

SCNDLS said:

Did u enjoy the show?

what's this about curvy women liking men's brain drugs?

well curves = woman ripe for breeding. Isn't that the bottom line when it comes to the primitive brain? Same reason why women tend to like tall well built men with big **cough** packages. All about who is ripe for the knocking up.

This title is confusing. Isn't the title supposed to read:

Curvy women are like a drug to some men

or better

Studies show men are more attractive to curvier women

Either way, it's no secret.It's been that way for centuries.

This is like the study that I read that showed that men view women in bikinis as "objects."

http://www.cnn.com/2009/H...index.html

They need to have a study for this?

But for the record, this caucasian thinks Kate Moss is really hot. It doesn't have to be huge curves for me, personally. A woman's skeleton is shaped differently. I'm not saying I like anorexic, and big curves are great too, but thin women are very sexy to me. No study will convince me that they are not.
