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.

What's this about Eva? I see a curve or two.

It's cause fashion has been dictated by gay men for the past 40 years. Next question.

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. I don't believe a word of that. Just because the media is trying hard to market anorexic women, that doesn't mean that men are preferring them. You have to hit what's pitched. If the media offers 99.999% stick women and two or three token fat women like Rosie O'Donut and that Manheim skiff, what do you expect to happen?

If you ever get an opportunity, watch this movie. It is full of gorgeous women!
To: LibWhacker
Really, what is wrong with Eva? She can float plenty of boats with her looks. I do also see curves.
In the past, what was the preferance? Did some have to walk around with wide-load on their backside or is this study just whacked?

giga-dittoes!!!! Look out for curves.

One day, FNC was showing some footage of a fashion show (not the Victoria's Secret show), and I couldn't believe the weirdos that were passing for models! They looked like pale, strung-out, sticks. I remember when models looked hot. Sure, they were on the thin side as well, but they did look like women.
