The mode of expanded girth is not the issue, it is a fact that has befallen our society over the past few decades. Whether it's a lack of exercise or the alighnment of the planets is not important. People are fatter and thus women are fatter.
My theory of preemptive selection of a slender mate remains a good explanation for the observed selection trend among men and at the very least represents my selection strategy.
No, there's not. A woman with the right musclo-skeletal structure can be extremely voluptuous, and yet very lean.
I still believe that even an extremely voluptuous woman with right musclo-skeletal structure is more susceptible to becoming fat than a genetically thin woman and I would bet dollars to donuts that any data would bare that out.
True, and sad.

I didn't have that option. For me, the curves of the hips are the make-or-break issue for me. I just can't get turned on by skinny, hipless women who look like boys from the back.

Perhaps. But the voluptuous woman has a considerable tolerance for weight gain, before she loses her appeal -- whereas a genetically hipless woman who gains any weight at all, ends up looking like a potbellied man.
If voluptuous woman with nice "breeder hips", does put on a little weight, it mostly goes right TO the hips, enhancing rather than detracting from her luscious "pear" proportions. Whereas I've seen plenty of hipless wonders who quickly lost what little trace of feminine proportions they did have, because they gain weight in the waist ("apples") and end up with a "male" waist-hip ratio.
