They Like Big Butts, and They Can Not Lie: Survey Finds Men Prefer Bigger Body Sizes

Drop that rice cake. I said drop it! For years, okay centuries, women have tortured, teased and starved themselves in the hope of reaching that idea body size. One would assume this was all for the men. If that’s the case, someone should have asked them, because ladies have been doing it wrong all along.
According to a body survey in the UK mag Fabulous, women claim their ideal body size is a 8. When asked, the men said they though the ideal female body size should be a 12. See the pic for a comparison.*
Which begs the question, who have women been starving themselves for? When you ask your guy, “Do you like skinny girls?” and he says “no,” instead of reflexively calling him liar and hitting him, maybe you should listen. He’s been telling the truth all along. So maybe it’s time to cut out the unending parade of diets and accept the fact men like women the way they look, maybe even more so with a few more kilos. And maybe before you ladies lose all the baby weight, take a second look at how thin you really need to be. The first round of fettuccini is on me.
I say both the 8 AND the 12 look good. I would say somewhere in-between is my ideal shape for a woman. btw, the models you see with absolutely no curves are a no-go.
With my size 14 body, men adore me, my fiance can’t get enough of me, so who cares about the body ideals out there!
