For some reason there is that urban myth among women that men like supermodels.
I am talking about the bones and skin size 0 type woman that looks like she needs a good schnitzel and daily feed for about a month before she can withstand a category-2 cyclone (we are talking a light breeze here). Let me set something straight.
Men like ass and tits.
Not only are women more attractive with curves, it is also genetically (and scientifically proven). It is basically engrained in our DNA – and most men select unconsciously not knowing why. If I may take you back a couple of million years to the first people (I am talking the upright walking kind) inhibiting planet earth. Life was rough back then. They didn’t have all the mod cons we are enjoying today. It was life or death, eat or be eaten, survival of the fittest. And therefore any man would look for a woman strong and healthy enough to survive the next winter. Or mammoth attack. Or both. A harsh winter could mean no food for weeks, and the people needed to have enough bodily reserves to endure that. Today’s supermodels would have never survived a harsh Neolithic winter!
Additionally, a healthy woman would mean she could survive childbirth. Childbirth back then wasn’t a walk in the park either. But essential for the survival of the tribe.
Men selected women who were healthy and strong enough to give them plenty of offspring.
Again, can you imagine a supermodel giving birth to 10 children? They’d be more worried about the stretch marks than adequately breast-feeding the kids. All of that has been engrained into the reptilian part of our brain (one of the oldest parts of the brain) and today still plays a subconscious part when selecting our mate.
And girls, just to break the news to you too – we select our partners based on the same values.
