Well Dark Ghost, maybe you would enjoy reading women's magazines, as they tell it, apparently everything is the woman's fault.

I love the premise of this study. I do think it's interesting the differences in what different people find attractive. One of my close friends always liked really confident men, but I find them very unattractively arrogant. And I've noticed with other women that we all seem to have very different tastes (maybe with a few exceptions.)

I think it's ironic though, that fertility is so hardwired into our brains. When most people are taking a lot of precautions against procreating.

I actually have read Women's Magazines (sometimes there is nothing else to read in the house). The thing is, who writes Women's Magazines and encourages women to focus on such garbage? Women. Who are the ones saying "this is how you get a man's attention...", "this is what men look for in women..."? Women. You will find that women in general are far more judgemental of other women than men are of women.

You know how I feel when I see women emphasising that "Hourglass" look? I find it very unattractive. I think it's silly women put so much effort into dressing like that because they think it makes them look sexy. Women who dress in stylish clothes that fit them and complement their body shape (whatever that may be) are the really attractive ones. I use public transport quite regularly and I see women of all shapes and sizes.

It's funny you should mention Marilyn Monroe. Back in the mid '80's I was in a music store and a couple of girls were next to me flipping through the poster rack. They got to a picture of Marilyn Monroe in a bathing suit and one of them said, "She's fat!" The other girl nodded in agreement. I just shook my head.

The whole "thin is in" thing started back in the late '60's with models like Twiggy. Of course, back then they only had lighting, makeup and clothes to disguise those unwanted pounds. Now, with computers, they can create models who look like alien refugees from a low gravity planet. I never really got "anorexic chic". It's like hugging a pencil. Occasionally my wife will get a clothing catalog in the mail with plus size models (by today's standards). Some of those women are truly stunning. The hourglass shape works for me.
