That women most envied size 4 bodies, while men tend to lust over bodies that have a little more T&A, hitting around the  size 10 mark. But what was most interesting to me is that the men decidedly preferred women whose bodies were very similar to their wives or girlfriends, with their decidedly average  size 10ish bodies. Which, I guess, makes total sense. After all, the guy is going after someone hes attracted to, right? It would absolutely follow that they wouldnt want you to change a thing and that they like you, much like Bridget Jones, just as you are. The question shouldnt be whether men expect women to have perfect bodies, but what the definition of perfect is.

Conversely, whats being ignored in the subsequent Yay for curves article is the ranking on what it would take for a guy to leave their partner. The choices are going up one, two, three or more dress sizes, with 67% of respondents stating that they would leave their partner if they went up more than three sizes. Im choosing to believe that at least some of the respondents were stymied by the lack of a choice I wouldnt leave my partner for stupid reasons like weight gain because I love her more than I love her current ass, and notice that no one is concerned about a mans feelings if their partner started dropping dress sizes. For this, I blame the pollsters, though, because thats just lazy survey skills.
