The traditional theory of beauty says that for every man who chases the voluptuous type, such as Jordan or Marilyn Monroe, there is another who prefers to woo a waif such as Twiggy or Kate Moss.

But this and the idea that beauty is subjective and ever-changing has been overturned by Prof Devendra Singh and his daughter Adrian Singh.

The psychologists from the University of Texas today publish research showing that lovestruck men have only one thing on their minds: a woman's WHR - waist-hip ratio, calculated by dividing waist circumference by that of the hips.

Jordan and Twiggy have something in common: both have waists that are noticeably narrower than their hips and Prof Singh has found evidence this "belle curve" is ingrained in the male brain in his studies of Playboy centrefolds, the ancient Egyptians and tests on men from Africa to the Azores.

C'mon, who WOULDN'T take a curvy gal over a stick-thin boy-woman any day?  This is just common sense

[achtung]

hips = win

[Sesquipedalian]

Scientific proof that my wife is dead sexy.

Maybe they're just fat and wanted to come up with some sciency-sounding justification for it. "Damn, I can't fit in to my jeans any more - I'm dead sexxay!"

[Ulala]

Wrong way of the hourglass I think.

[Nuke]

and they did research on something that most men already know. yet another waste of scientiffic resources.

QFT.

Now, if they'd do research on what women want...

Now, if they'd do research on what women want...

You wouldn't live long enough to see that research come into conclusion

[karajorma]

Unless you hired only female researchers. In which case you'd get an instant answer but it would be wrong.

[Wobble73]

So this research means if two fat birds stood next to each other, I'd fancy the space in between 'em??

Wow. This guy got paid to pore over Playboy centrefolds all day long?

If it was Real Proper Science, he'd also have to pore over a control group of Fat & Flabby Housewives.

Here's a hint.  What they say they want often has little to do with what they actually want.  Observe what they do, not what they say.

See...thats the research we want to see.  Observe the women...try and figure out what makes them tick.  That'd be useful!

Round hips sink ships!

If you ACTUALLY come up with some solid conclusions from that, I will build a 20 ft high gold statue in your honor.

[Janos]

Wasn't this proven like decades ago?

[Descenterace]

Yes, but it wasn't proved with SCIENCE.

[DeepSpace9er]

Total BS.. its all about cup size.
