Hungry men prefer heavier women
Men who are full are more attracted to skinny women; hungry men prefer heavier women.
They asked the men to rate how hungry they were on a scale of one to seven. Using these responses, the researchers selected 30 hungry and 31 satiated men to take part in the study.The men were then asked to rate the attractiveness of 50 women of varying weights, all within a healthy range, who had been photographed wearing tight grey leotards and leggings.
The hungry men rated more of the heavier women as attractive than the men who were full up.
I found this study interesting. It’s so odd how the human brain works. It never ceases to amaze me. Full story after the jump.

Do you think it was set up to make the men answer the way they did? I mean, they asked them if they were hungry first. Wouldn’t you think that that would make them answer differently……I wonder.
Maybe they asked the guys if they were hungry for big women.
Maybe the women were made of gummie bears…
I think Bon Jonesy’s hypothesis is CLEARLY correct.
In a country where Big Smith Overalls are deemed in enough demand to mass produce, I think the ladies are doomed! All I have to say is “hide all the food” (except don’t hide it from me, because I will be eating it all in order to tempt hungry men to date me).
If you think Big Smith Overalls have us doomed, check out http://www.greatjohn.com. Look at the picture of the happy couple in the “why buy a GJ.” They look so happy.

Oh my. This topic made an appearance at our get-together Saturday night. Thank you, Bon Jonesy, for educating us all.
