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.

Thanks for bringing an element of class to this thread with examples of great ladies.Beats the hell of of the soft and hardcore porn pinup girls some admire so much.And expect women to emulate.Sure, unless they like whores ;-)

I have a female friend who is perfectly lovely and shapely, and all she worries about are the size of her boobs and butt.

The former are too small and the latter is too big, according to her.

When I ask her why men look at her when she walks down the avenue, she replies "I don't know".

Otherwise, she's a very intelligent person - not prone to commercial brainwashing.

I always thought that Playboy had too many blondes. Particularly since I prefer women with darker hair.

You have it wrong - I was talking about a really attractive woman - who's way more cute and would never date Michael Douglas.

Hell if you are only doing test drives, who cares... they should be gone by the time I wake up anyway in that case.

Bridget Bardot did age quickly; after 35 she didn't look nearly as good as she did a few years before. During the period when she had her long light-blonde hair that was sort of poofed up on top (I think early 60s?) was when she was at her prettiest. She looked better then than in some of her very early pictures.

By the way, Jane Russell was on Larry King the other night with some other old stars talking about Marilyn Monroe. She looked very good for her age. She struck me as a strong woman, while Mamie Van Doren who was also on seemed very sweet. It was an interesting show.

I was wondering whether Cori Nadine is a porn actress.

[DBtoo]

You have very good proportions and are very pretty!!

[DBtoo]

Many women feel they are not pretty enough. Oddly enough mostly it's the pretty ones that feel that way.

A study was done a few years ago that concluded that women tend to under-estimate themselves, whereas men tend to over-estimate themselves. From personal observation I believe that is true in many cases.
