Women have long complained that their faces are often the last thing men look at – and now a scientific study has proved them right.
Researchers found that virtually half – 47 per cent – of men first glance at a woman’s chest. A third of the so-called ‘first fixations’ are on the waist and hips, while fewer than 20 per cent look at the face.
Not only are breasts often the first thing men look at, they also glance at them for longer than any other body part, the experts discovered.
It’s thought that the reason might be evolutionary, as women with larger chests and slim waists – such as opera singer Katherine Jenkins – have higher levels of the female hormone oestrogen, indicating greater fertility.
But the researchers conceded that there could be a more prosaic explanation. ‘Men may be looking more often at the breasts because they are simply aesthetically pleasing, regardless of the size,’ they said.
The scientists recorded which areas men looked at first, the number of times they looked, and how long their gaze lasted, using cameras and mirrors to measure tiny eye movements.
It also found that men began to gaze at the ‘components of the hourglass figure’ within 0.2 seconds.

I’m not up to speed on my celebrities...is she famous ?
LMAO
Don't ask me, I've never heard of her. But then again, I still think Raquel Welch, Ann Margret, and Barbara Eden are still hot. So what do I know?
Gravitating back to the title subject, I recall a Peter Sellers line from the hospital comedy, "Where Does it Hurt?". When his wife disparaged the attractions of his favorite nurse by saying, "without that brassiere they would sag to the floor", he responded, "On the contrary, it's the only thing preventing them from floating right up to the ceiling." ( Quote approximate. )
Well, I like all the parts, but it’s tough to look at them all at the same time.
One just like that .....says,

She is now!
In a mate, men are hard wired to look at women's breast and hips and women are hard wired look at a man's strengh, wealth and station ...it just the way it is
How do I get one of these grants? I have all kinds of ideas for research along these lines. I just need the funding. Woohoo.
A quick Google image search revealed pictures of her that I like better...
Buried somewhere in “My Picutres” file on my computer’s hard drive...
is a similar picture from a young 5-7 year old male at an event at
a Hooters Restaurant.
The few times I’ve run across the young gent’s fixation on the chest
of the Hooters lady...just tells me how silly the politically-correct
crowd is.
