  • You need to realize that many celebrities and models are at unhealthy weights. I've read several magazine articles in which the reporter interviewed men about their body preferences, and most men actually prefer heavier women than the average model: "Thin may be in for many women, but when men appraise a woman's figure, the guiding principle may be "waist not, want not." Men consider a relatively thin waist set against full hips to be a cardinal sign of female attractiveness, regardless of changing cultural conventions about bust size, body weight, or other physical features, contends Devendra Singh, a psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin. Several million years of evolution may have primed men to perk up at the sight of a curvaceous waist because this aspect of female shape serves as a cue to fertility and health, Singh holds. For instance, evidence now suggests that women whose waists are significantly narrower than their hips (a low waist-to-hip ratio) get pregnant more easily and tend to give birth to their first child at a younger age than women whose waists are closer in size to their hips (a high waist-to-hip ratio)." http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1200/is_n8_v144/ai_14364971
