REAL LIFE NEWS: HUNGRY MEN AND VOLUPTUOUS WOMEN
by Hazed
If you’re hungry when you go shopping in the supermarket you are likely to fill your trolley up with much more than you intended. Your empty stomach affects your decisions about what to buy.
Now scientists have discovered that the same principle is in play when you are looking for love, because if you are feeling hungry you’re going to be more attracted to larger partners. This affects both men and women. Men will choose more voluptuous women if they are hungry, while women will pick larger and more heavier set men.
The researchers from Westminster University in London showed a series of cartoons of women to 266 men and asked them to rate their attractiveness. The men who had missed a meal selected women who were larger and had bigger breasts. This matches previous studies which have shown that when women haven’t eaten they will be drawn to larger men.
The suggestion is that when we are hungry we are looking for people who can supply us with sustenance. A larger man or woman suggests somebody who is successful at finding food and who will therefore be able to feed us.
Of course, the problem is that once we have been fed we may not find the larger body so attractive any more!
