Men lusting for less curves

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.

Right on. Two women that I really like on TV are: Megyn Price (Claudia Finnerty on Grounded for Life) and Patricia Richardson from Home Improvement. These are two women who have the terrible nerve to actually have hips and a bra size above 'A' cup.
As for Callista Flockhart (the woman who passed out an the TV set more than once because she "forgot to eat"), forget about it. If she came over to my house, I wouldn't try to get her in the sack. I'd be trying to feed her a decent meal. "Here hon, you better take some extra butter. And don't be shy about drinking that milkshake."

What sport exactly involves scantily-clad beautiful women standing at attention in the rain?
I want to know so I can get a league going in my area.

Women in their late 30's thru early 50's who take care of themselves and dress tastefully are knockouts. That's the bracket of women who've got it, in my opinion. Ditto that! A curvy woman in that age bracket; professionally dressed in a well-tailored business suit (tie included) is one of the...is it me, or is it getting warm in here?
To: ArcLight
These threads always amuse me. I seem to detect a sense of competition, maybe even animosity, between the "skinny" side and the "curvy" side, or the "asian" side vs the "redhead" side, etc.
Why not accept the fact that some people like one type of woman, and some like another, and some such as I like them all? No need to describe what some men like as "anorexic" or "cows".

Although I don't like the show, the best looking gal on Friends is Lisa Kudrow. Courtney Cox and the hair-do girl are just too bony.

Two women that I really like on TV are: Megyn Price (Claudia Finnerty on Grounded for Life) and Patricia Richardson from Home Improvement. I have always found those two to be damn sexy. And Grounded For Life is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. I am surprised thats not a big hit show. Ever see the one where the daughter found MJ in her dads closet? I was dying the whole show.
I love older women. And I dont care who makes fun of me, I find Martha Stewart to be very sexy. Especially for a women in her 60s!
Ever watch Good Eats on Food Network? Give it a view and check out "W".
To: Little Bill
Jane Russell has rounder hips than I do. The rest is pretty much a dead heat.
To: who knows what evil?
See my above post. I am 29 and absolutely love women in their 40's and 50's. My wife is 30 and it drives her nuts. But then she realizes that when shes in ther 40's and 50's...

Curves and Boobies. I'll take them every time.
How about this then?

As for Callista Flockhart (the woman who passed out an the TV set more than once because she "forgot to eat"), forget about it.They had to slap a micro miniskirt on Calista to distract from the scrawny body and fish lips.

Well I wish you guys would make up your minds already. I'd like to know if I could eat another cookie! Eat two and move to Maine, where women are judged on the "warmth in the winter and shade in the summer" standard.
