Guys find ultra-skinny chicks less attractive
Bad news for all the ladies who chomped on carrots and chicken broth for dinner: new research out of England reveals that young men prefer “normal” sized women. Not that any woman should ever make their dietary decisions based on what arouses college-aged dudes, but there’s a slight comfort in knowing you have a leg up on the Size 00s of the world.
Researchers asked male students at St. Andrews University to rate the attractiveness and health of female faces and found that women with an average weight rated as the most attractive and healthy. The project’s supervisor, Professor David Perrett, commented on the findings, saying, “In our study, people in the normal weight range were judged healthier and more attractive than under or overweight individuals. This sends a strong message to all the girls out there who believe you have to be underweight to be attractive.”
Healthy is hot!
All the health news you can use.

Or, is the author implying that carrot sticks and chicken broth or the diet of the "normal" weight and healthy? Are the size 00s eating, what then ... air?
Makes no sense.
Or maybe they were keeping that part of the study for dessert.
Personally, I have to wonder about a male who *wants* a scrawny pre-pubescent-looking female. Sounds like latent pedophelia to me, with overtones of control issues. Strong women who can take care of themselves, who are intelligent and healthy, should NOT need to fall under the spell of these horrid fashion schemes. But if we don't speak up, the "media" -- whomever THAT is -- continue to shove it violently in our faces.
OK, rant over... ;-D
@web20empire: Try some weight training. That'll put some weight on (muscle).
As for the title, I have never personally found skinny girls physically attractive; I like to see a girl look like a girl, with curves.
