Men prefer average sized women !!!!
Men prefer average sized women over fashion models and Playboy centrefolds such as Pamela Anderson, claim scientists
Researchers found that men preferred the shape of ordinary women, equivalent to dress size 14, than so-called super-attractive models, according to a study that compared the body shapes of ordinary women, Playboy centrefolds, models from the 1920s and 1990s and glamour girls.
Professor Rob Brooks at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and colleagues, asked 100 male students to judge the attractiveness of 201 line drawings of female torsos with different hip, waist and shoulder measurements.
"The orthodoxy says that you will be attractive with a certain waist-hip ratio no matter how the rest of your body varies," Prof Brooks told the New Scientist. "Our study shows this is not the case,".
When compared with groups of real women, including Playboy centrefolds, Australian escorts advertising on the internet and average Australian women between the ages of 25 and 44, the latter group most closely matched the preferred body shape.
That is equivalent to a size 14 dress, or 36-28-38 and 5ft 4in tall, the average size of women in both Australia and Britain.

Hmmm so you joined QL just to tell us your preference in men? So how long have you been single?
well, I prefer most men to be 6'2, no taller or shorter, with the inverted triangle waist, and around 180 pounds! Sucks for any guy that doesn't fit that range!
Seriously, body shapes come in all different shapes and sizes...some naturally thin and fit, some bigger and for every guy who likes one 'type' there will be another guy who likes another type. Plus how boring if everyone was the same height/same measurements. Variety is the spice of life.
The next generation of people are growing taller so the 5'4" stats aren't very common anymore, but with obesity on the rise, guys might prefer 'average' women, because the majority of people are bigger so they really have no choice. Also fit and active men, tend to like thinner, active women. Like attracts like.
But if men prefer 5'4" women who are 'average weight", why are the majority of men drooling over Sports illustrated women and Victoria Secret. That will always be the fantasy no matter what. They might have a 5'4" girlfriend because that's attainable and non-intimidating, yet they're fantasing about the model.
But who cares what guys 'prefer'...how about what the woman prefers!...She's the one who has to live in her body for the rest of her life.
When I met my husband I was a rather plump happy girl. He was skinny in the border of painfully skinny. And we fell in love!! when we were about to marry I decided to lose some weight, and I was fine. We are not the sporty tipe but tried to keep on shape. After our baby was born, I still did not get as fat as before but he has the cheek of reminding everytime I get a kg more or two! I am sure men like to 'see' skinny girls but to have a good cushion to embrace. Never sure about the logic...
Okie dokie.. read the rest of the thread. Good to know that there are some sensible men out there.
Baby elephants rule!
/Excuse me, drinking while on the job. Shhh!
How could someone say size 14 is fat ??? We r talking british size ? Well in all cases all the comments made above are above women who are 5'4" how about tall women,i am 5'8" so if i am size 14 british does that make me fat ??? Anyway i think it all depends on how tall and what the body shape is...no one can dare say salma hayek is not preety coz she is short or gizelle bundschen is skinny....beauty differs in every culture and once we see a beautiful woman we admit it regardless where she is from,how tall,how fat she is.Gordon sparks is drop dead gorgous ...even though some may call her fat...alicia keys.get my idea ? :)
hmmm im` not fit for that category,typically size for an asian like me w/c size is 32-24-32 height 5`2...
meg ryan and madeline stoe..........
you can't change it
Even with make up, she has a face like a bulldog licking pi$$ off a thistle.
She's minging.

I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
Guys love girls. Fat, skinny, tall, small, black, white, brown. I dont think this is something new or whatever.
I think these guys just spent money and time just to tell us that we like girls...
Senseless for me.
The Venezuelan Sensation!!!

in fact, the world know her !

However Good and Positive attitude gives a person look perfect.
Physical beauty is gifted by nature (Ash, Katrina; pretty look is adorable) and depends on an individual how one maintains it.
As nobody is perfect in this world.....Men or Women always prefers superman or superwoman (combination of several celebs)!
Come on.. Most of the "Models" are quite yucky once the makeup has been removed... Look at Kate Moss :(

Unless of course you were asking the average man!
FS...look at her fore arms here

Same also for Sandra Bullock.....Marisa Tommai

A 'perfect' woman is boooring.

Men prefer average sized women (36-28-38 & 5ft 4in tall)
a woman w/height 5ft tall like me - 36 28 38 is FAT :(
it's like a coca cola bottle (not the small one but the 1L bottle size)...

Well said
I actually got down to under a size 8 UK a couple of years ago and I looked bad -
I looked like a whippet, I started getting a flat bum and was losing the curves.....
Thats size 4 US so if I were size 0 I would look like dreadful.
scrawny is not lovely.....I know a couple of girls recently who have put on a few kilos....and they are looking a lot hotter with some nice curves going on.
mine size 10-12....but im seeing myself as a fat gurl..... and am 5ft 5in tall.
i hate this thread!.. i am no longer on the average size, i will stop wondering now.. :/
[img_assist|nid=12867|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.
Gypsy may be slim (or skinny I think she calls herself) but her size is in tune with her build,height etc.
The same for QS,Jauntie and all the ladies.All the QL ladies Ive met are beautiful in their own ways.
Maybe the silly chick magazines and Hollywood should stop portraying 'celeb' women as been skinny and just let them be theirselves.
We are what we are....
---------------------------------------------------------
I think you have me confused with someone who gives a sh1t.
and women prefer oversized men... ;P
oopppsss.... sorry for the hijack....
peace out!!!
But we all know, in the end of the day it’s not about the size.. you can have perfect measurements, and be ugliest creature in the world, and other way around..

no, we have never seen ANGELINA JOLIE.. and hey, i don't think she is 5'4" or even 5'6"... she is actually 5'8"…and hey she is about size 4, max 6... you definitely can NOT put her in a row with the "normal boded" girls.. it looks like you are the one who have never seen her.. :):)
and Salma is too short.. maybe like 5'0"

Angelina Jolie ................Swoooooooooooooooooooon :o)
You think Angelina Jolie is a normal sized woman??? Kate Winslet and Salma Hyek I'll give you, but not Angelina.
I'm not sure that the study actually reflects what the men prefer, but rather what the men have, and thus their altered desires to match their reality. The same way if you are dating a person with blonde hair, who you love very much, and then end up with a preference for blondes in general.
It's one of the internal defense mechanisms us humans have that protect us from feeling discontent or sadness. In accordance to that, it makes sense that the "typical" size for women, is also the most desired.
In following with my example, if almost all females were obese, I think you would find that most men would prefer obese women.
The best people to include in this survey, would be men that have no personal emotional investment in the answer. But the thing with psychology, is that no study can ever be completely controlled for influencing factors.
I always like/attracted to normal shaped body girls/ladies [not too thin/fat]. If you have seen KAJOL/RANI MUKHERJEE or ANGELINA JOLIE/KATE WINSLET/SALMA HYEK
We to focus more on being healthy, instead of looking at the tag size. :(

Smokey...Shhhhhhhhh...good that you didnt see me 5 yrs back..lol

Size 14 US is fat
Size 14 UK isn't so fat
I have a size 10 UK waist but take Size 14 top because I have broad shoulders like a rugby player
Size 14 5ft4 is pretty chunky
yeah, it looks like inches.. but then it's not size 14... it close to size 10 or so...
actually with these sizes, you never know.. in NA we have different sizes anyway..

The key word here is "Prefer".. So there's always a minority of men out there for you both :o)
I don't fit in that category either. Guess I'd better start eating...and shrinking.
sigh, i dont fit in that category. Don't have anything for asians like me?? hehe.
