There has been research showing things like:
-High levels of estrogen generally result in larger hip-to-waist ratios.
-A fairly large hip-to-waist ratio is positively correlated with health and fertility.
-The cognitive performance of children is positively correlated with larger hip-to-waist ratios of their mothers.
Many of our sexual attractions are indeed based on things that are correlated with health and fertility, directly or indirectly. There does seem to be significant diversity, though.
Seems like a rather insensitive way to phrase the question, when we're talking about physical aspects that people cannot really control, beyond some degree of maintaining a healthy weight.
I don't really care about the butts of other women. Personally, my build is very lean and scrawny and I have what you would describe as the second option there. I don't really mind.
I wonder if women like my butt...
I was once told that I had butt cheek overhang, when I finally started getting a reasonable bodyfat ratio. Apparently that wasn't my best look. The cachexia has taken care of that though. Always look on the bright side.
Anyway, back to the topic of womens butts. Aaah, the comfort zone.
I like women if they're round, tall, short or skinny, bbw voluptuous or lean. Or somewhere in between. As long as ... there is something going on ! Even if it is just me, and I've had some extra phenethylamine before I go to the supermarket
I'm not looking at women as breeding units - especially at my age - which is probably old enough to be your father LOL.
Women are attractive because of their qualities. The brain is the most highly developed erogenous zone. Phenethylamine is at its highest natural serum level during orgasm. I've gone beyond beer goggles ! LMAO
