"cigar shaped...?"...

BTW..FWIW..J LO ain't no big deal..face is so-so..no chest, and a backside so big you can rappel off of it....that ain't my idea of a fine woman..

The Meredith professor noted that other research on the subject indicates that men are not usually the ones driving women to be thinner.

Not heterosexual men, anyway. Whose ideal of sexual attractiveness is a woman who looks like a 12-year old boy, as do too many of these supposedly "attractive" models?

One theory is that the predominantly gay fashion mavens promote models with "boyish" figures. So magazines and TV wind up full of boyish "Twiggys" and fewer models with womanly figures. Then the culture follows along with what they see in magazines and on TV.

I didn't say I like bony girls. Just not pear-shaped chicks with cans that will look like windsocks by the time they are 40, and butts bigger than mine.

Actually, I think that should go:

Women, can't live with them, can't shoot them.

In Tom Wolfe's "A Man in Full," he described the current ideal woman's body as "boys with breasts." Maybe it has something to do with gay chic.

I agree with the professor. Most men prefer a woman with substance. However, women are the ones who are catty and perpetually not happy with themselves.

If you look at a woman like Paris Hilton - YUCK!!!!!!!!

Hale Berry & Beyonce - now there is some good stuff!

Not the first time this has happened - it goes back and forth. ClearCase_guy pointed out the rail-thin flappers (ah, the stories I got from my Grandmother). Anyone here remember Twiggy? Borderline 60's pedophilia there, but once she had a couple of kids she started looking a lot more normal...

I just don't get what's hot about her.

Look up "callipygous" in your Funk & Wagnalls.

I think the biggest reason hollywood, fashion, movies, magazines, pageants, etc. think the ideal woman is a 12 year old boy with fake boobs is because they have been taken over by a bunch of people that think the ideal woman *is* a 12 year old boy with fake boobs.

"I like big butts
And I cannot lie.
You other brothers can't deny.
When a girl walks in
with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung..."

There's a difference between out-and-out fat chicks and curvaceous, sexy women with some prime meat on her.

Absolutely. I have to wonder about guys who like their women to look like boys.

Real women are supposed to be soft and curvaceous, not straight as a yardstick and hard bodied. When they try to look like an adolescent boy they lose their feminine appeal IMHO.

Of course there is a line between just right and too much of a good thing. One visit to a Walmart on a Saturday afternoon is enough to illustrate that point.
