So fat chicks rule? Really?

A friend of mine in the UK sent me a link to this article. Herewith an excerpt:

According to this week's New Scientist, 100 men taking part in an Australian study were asked to rate the attractiveness of 200 drawings of female torsos of different sizes.

The researchers then compared the favourite torsos with the vital statistics of eight groups of women, ranging from Playboy centrefolds and models to normal women.

The results were thrilling. (Well, they certainly were for those of us who are in danger of holding on to our baby weight until the baby concerned starts university.)

What the Aussies discovered was that a normal woman most closely matched the men's ideal female shape, with the best fit being a British size 14. God bless the average bloke.
