What a Girl Wants

A friend posted an article about what men and women find attractive on Facebook a while back.

An excerpt:

“Speaking of what women want, this is a very gray area and is said to change from woman to woman and even be inconsistent among a single individual.” (Bold mine.)

Alas, so true. I like a certain quality or feature in one man, but the same thing in another turns me off. Moreover, I think I like someone one minute, and the next it’s shut off, like a spigot.

“One study…even confirmed the fact that while men are largely in agreement about who they find to be attractive, women have no consensus with one another. While men would largely agree about how attractive a given image of a woman was, the scores from women would be all over the board.”

Also true. My girlfriends and I have this game we call “Gross Crush”. All of us have someone we think is attractive that the others gag about. Some examples: Michael Douglas (ick), Chazz Palminteri (ew), and—mine—Joaquin Phoenix (dreamy!). My first runner-up is Bill Clinton….

And regarding what men want:

“As for curvy women, it seems that men’s brains respond to hourglass figures like they are a drug…curvy women’s bodies activate parts of the male mind that are associated with rewards and parts of the brain that are activated by drugs and alcohol.”

Boo yah! I am dope. I am the motherfucking grand prize.

Of course, curvy and chubby are two different things.

Rats.
