Curvy women may be a clever bet

We curvy girls are just blessed in every category!

A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, but a curve is the most heavenly.

Like the Golden Mean.

My wonderful bride of 23 yrs. is both beautiful and intelligent.

:p~ you have my complete attention grem

So what these "researchers" are saying is that women's brains are in their hips and ass? And here I thought it was on their chest! I have a real problem with this "research".

Fact - REAL studies done (Harvard?) demonstrated that men look FIRST at a woman's face, then a quick scan of the rest, then back to the face where they look longest! (Women OTOH look at a guy's crotch. Go figure!) These results held true whether the subjects in the pictures the viewers were looking at were clothed or naked.

And if good looking women are so smart, why do we see so many of them dating and marrying LOSERS and ignoring the nice guys who'd treat them like a valued partner?

Nofluer, on your last statement - good point. I don't understand it either, and I'm a woman. Well, maybe it is understood to some degree, and that reasoning is superficial and comes with a high price!

I can honestly say I've never stared at a guy's crotch before. Maybe I'm just weird but I look at their faces. You get more info from facial expressions and body language than a crotch examination.

lol good one maybe the dumb skinny girls are the only ones I attract then again I got them to look my way by wearing something shiny....

try getting a nice fat wallet, that will attract the skinny smart ones!

no thanks I'd prefer a woman be into me and not my wallet... besides most my money helps pay for more important things than a smart skinny woman... like high performance car parts.

just kidding. and you are correct, you will have no money left with a hobby like that. my son-in-law has drag racing cars and the amount of money rolling out the door for those is amazing. good thing my daughter thinks they are cool. and btw, my husband has a skinny wallet but a large heart. not to mention he is really a cutie.

yea 10,000 for just an engine block with pistons is a bit exorbitant what does your son in law run? and I have an anorexic wallet the car business just don't pay like it used to

i am not sure what that means since i don't really do the racing thing. he has an el camino that he races. he does have some friends that he got together with and they rent a shop and work on other peoples cars to offset some of their personal expenses. he is working on a really old cadillac to add to his collection.

kool I got a 74 Pontiac I'n trying to get built to race... and the block is the big thing that everything else bolts to on the engine and the pistons are the things that translates the combustion of the fuel to rotational forces via the crankshaft thus turnin the crank cam distributor oil pump and possibly the fuel pump as well as the transmission

i meant i wasn't sure what the question "what does he run" mean. i thought maybe it was like swimming. backstroke, breaststroke etc. . lol. i know about engine blocks since my daughter cracked the one in her suv. it was a real blessing when she married her husband and i didn't have to monitor her car care. lol. she is thin too, this article explains why she never checked her oil. lol.

ahh ok I just wanted to know what kind of car he ran... there are only two types of drags you can run 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile and times really don't matter to me as I'll probly never compete against his el camino

got it. i live in a really small town and we have a drag strip. my daughter lives in houston and they come out for all the races. they have a new 3 month old baby and boys 9 and 5. i may start being a race fan just to avoid the babysitting! lol.

mmm then I think they may just get to go to the track as well and you really do not want that 2 excited boys running arround looking at all the cool cars and one baby scared out of his flippin mind...

the boys love it and are always well behaved. the baby will need to get some ear protection and then will probably just eat, sleep and poop her way through it.

My skinny niece and I checked the oil in her car yesterday - maintenance not her forte - needed a quart. I was opening the bottle and she started to pull the dipstick out so I could put the oil in the car. We spent 1/2 an hour going over some basics. sigh.

lol. my daughter should have been born back when they had service station attendants!

me too I'm sick of doing all my own work cause some mechanics don't know how to tune or work on older cars with no computer

Is someone standing behind you at your computer with a gun to your head forcing you to read and comment on articles you have no interest in?

Neenie, that needs to be Newsvine's new motto! You are a genius!

I'm of the opinion that for both genders brains are sexy. Sure he's pretty to look at but when he opens his mouth!?!

I have never thought the waif look was attractive.

Some of the really skinny actresses that are considered "hot" look like androgynous undernourished teenage boys, you have to wonder about guys that find that hot

All three of you are right on the money, imo. I have to disagree with the article for intelligence, but that body image is supposed to be healthier. I don't understand the skinny look being attractive; does that mean every 12 year-old boy is "hot"?

When I see one of those poor scarecrows impersonating a human being, the first thing that pops into my mind is "My God, QUICK! Someone FEED that person!"

Lol, really!

I keep thinking that somewhere out there is a camp that starves these poor women... then I realize wait no there's no need for a camp just a lil mtv will degrade a girl's body image enough to drive her anorexic

Stone-

For all Hollywood keeps trying to pass those anorexic actresses off as 'hot', I don't know many actual people who agree with that.

I halfway have to agree with lilgremlin up the line there--a lot of society seems to expect a lot less brains in a skinny woman, whereas a curvy woman doesn't fit the 'ideal', so she'd better have something else to offer. (Gag.)

There is a vicious cycle that promotes the idea that beauty is thin, blonde, busty, emaciated, whatever. It is perpetuated in magazines, in music, television, fashion, celebrity- in our culture. Girls as young as 8 are developing eating disorders. I've heard fashion designers say that they use ultra-thin models because that's what their clothes look best on. ? Sorry, if your clothes only look good on a size 0, you must be selling to a pretty limited market. The average size of the American woman is a 14.

As a society men and women need to stop apologizing for not fitting into some kind of mold and learn to celebrate who they are and not what they look like.

Either that or at the least point out the obvious. The people who look best are nearly always the people that are the healthiest. It's no accident. Healthy is not thin, nor fat. I don't think it's possible to starve oneself into health, nor likely is it possible to work out enough to be healthy if you have a poor diet. The key to so much in life is moderation, decent diet and decent level of activity and viola you look good. Some people try too hard.

neenie, that was the image of the original Barbie Doll. The image has changed (tattoes and body piercing - lol) to a more average look. The less than 30 somethings do seem to have a different attitude, also. Time changes things.

CL1,

I agree, it seems like many of the younger generation (I can't believe I just wrote that) are moving toward a different mindset. I think they are more accepting of different...everything. From shapes and sizes to cultures to ideas. Just seem more open and less judgmental. I hope so.

Why am I getting images of all of these strange creatures in a bar out of a Star Wars movie ....

LOL!

Ok I've gotta admit that I am small enough to swap clothes with my teenage nephews, but they are a little tight through the hips. It's a trait that comes in handy at those family gatherings where spontaneous hydro-projectiles have been known to break out. I don't want to drive home in wet clothes and there's just such a CONVENIENCE to being able to "steal" their clothes for a couple hours. That doesn't make me less able to hold an intelligent conversation, just very lucky. :)

hey grem we can swap clothes anytime just let me know ;-) anyway I love girls with a few tattoos and piercings I have a couple piercings you wanna know where ask but till then we won't go over that...

be careful james, you may be wearing a pink tank top!

texan it wouldn't be the worst thing I ever wore just go here and you'll see I've worn alot worse...http://leathernlacekitten.newsvine.com/_news/2009/11/10/3484673-more-proof-that-our-country-doesnt-let-kids-be-kids

ps it doesn't mention the neon green one with a viking helmet (you know furry with horns shaped like a bullet) and furry boots

No pink tank tops, but I've got some plaid pants he'd probably like!

shweet I could make em into a new kilt I've always wanted a new kilt my old one is gettin a lil tattered

Real women have curves. If a guy is attracted to women who have the figure of a teenage boy, what does that tell you about him?

I don't know, Dave, I'm naturally pretty curve-less and I still got married XD. You have a point, though; just about every guy I know does prefer a woman with curves to one without (and none of them find the emaciated models/actresses even remotely attractive). When my husband was in college, he had some sociology professor try to say that all men were closet homosexuals because of all the women on magazine covers who looked like boys. (She was a little nuts.) He pointed out that all the magazines they're on are geared at WOMEN; the women you see on men's magazines definitely don't look like that. (If anything, some of them go too far in the other direction, and look just as unnatural, no pun intended.)

I have heard the suggestion that the problem with haute couture is that most of the designers are gay. I mean, seriously, who is 5'10" and 110 lbs? A young adolescent boy whose height has shot up but he hasn't filled out yet. No wonder the designers loved Princess Di. She was 6 feet and bulimic.

There was an article on here a couple weeks ago about a 5'10", size-four model who Calvin Klein fired for being TOO FAT. Any woman who's 5'10" and a size four is severely underweight; I think she actually weighed 120 or so, but still, that's ridiculous. Apparently looking like a human being isn't allowed if you're in the fashion industry. This girl was pretty but definitely too thin already; having lost any more weight would have made her look absolutely awful.

I have heard the suggestion that the problem with haute couture is that most of the designers are gay.

That would explain why they like models that look like undernourished prepubescent teenage boys.

Postpubescent, actually. That's when their height shoots up but they're still rail-thin.

Sadly, of those three it seems Ms Rabbit is the only one with a brain. Or maybe she's just drawn that way.

Given the physical pain and bone damage caused by Massive Mammaries, I consider any woman carrying around too much freight on top as either really poor, or stupid. They certainly aren't attractive to me!

common-sense, some women are born that way.

No way are heavy girls defective! Most of the truly nice, wonderful, sweet'N'sassy women I know have a little extra meat on their bones and I wouldn't trade them for the world! Reese's Peanut Butter Cup maybe.....nope, not for the world!

neenie, you are just too funny and on the money! (#13)

Smart man. One of the ways I have managed to stay married for 25 years is knowing which questions to duck.

i didn't marry a fool! he has a hearing problem and i always say he has selective hearing! lol.
