OK everybody, time out, and ask just one simple question:

Why....to the deepest depths of Why, as in just why is it that

We guys prefer: full bosom, tiny waist, long legs on a woman. Who ordained, who prescribed that this should be so?

Think carefully... the answer may not be as shallow as thou thinkest.

Over a century ago the ideal was a full figured woman neither too fat nor too thin. My mother, God bless her soul, was never thin but she was beautiful. I don't think a man today would date or marry her because of the fetish about where a woman's figure comes in. As I said, men have to widen their horizons. There are lots of pretty women around and not all of them have the anorexic twiggy look that's in fashion today.

Well, the answer seems to be "Society," since the ideals have changed with the times and conditions. In the past, women with large waists have been favored, for example. Sometimes it can indicate a woman who is better nourished and will yield healthier offspring.

The media ordained it. In renaissance times the more robust women were the idea of perfection (just check out the paintings) - not an anorexic, oversized boob chick to be found.
Think about THAT carefully!

Heck, everyone knows it is because I was imprinted with Barbie when my sisters had while we were kids....

My Gi-Joes used to hang Ken upside down by his ankles from the dresser.

Now I'm known as Dapper Dan, the lady killer man,
And those that I don't kill I wound a bit.
I run a fancy car, I call it the Mayflower,
On account of all the Puritans that've come across in it.
Now I took 20-year-old Pam up to the wood near Boulder Dam,
Stopped the car and thought that she'd know what to do.
I said, "Get in the back now, Pam," she said, "What the heck do you think I am?"
I wanna stay in the front seat here with you."

Oh, give me an older woman every time, every time,
Give me an older woman every time.
They don't yell, and they don't tell, and oh, they're grateful as hell,
So give me an older woman every time.

There is a certain waist-to-hip ratio which is a universal baseline for attractiveness, across all cultures. It appears to be wired in, presumably for reasons related to reproduction and survival. Breast size and other attributes seem to vary much more with cultures and fashions.

"We guys prefer: full bosom"

Because little girls don't have curves, long legs and full bosoms, so it is a defense against pedophilia?
