Do stressed out men prefer heavier women? Apparently so, according to a study reported by Time magazine. The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, reports that "when men were placed in stressful situations, then asked to rate the attractiveness of women of varying body sizes, they tended to prefer beefier frames, compared with unstressed men whose tastes skewed thinner."
“This suggests that our body size preferences are not innate, but are flexible,” said study co-author Martin Tovée of Newcastle University in the U.K., in an email, noting that they may be influenced by our particular environment and resources.

Most men prefer leggy and lean women, Gisele Bündchen lookalikes, right? Not necessarily. In fact, the body type that a man finds attractive can change depending on his environment and circumstances, a new study finds: when under stress, for instance, men prefer heavier women.

I just wanted a place to post at this stage in the topic. I don't know how many are aware that there are basic body types people are born with, despite added weight or added muscle.
And men's body types -
real men like good solid women, not the 350lb really fat out of shapegals and definately not the skinny 98lb boy look alikes!!!
.give me a 150lb ,160 lb gal in shape, with some breast and sume butt to grabany day (or night)!!
Where are these stressed out men, have any phone numbers?
"The Bigger the Cushion, the Better the Pushin"
Don't like hard-tail bikes either, hard on the 'roids ☺
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, you got to make an ugly woman your wife.
...ummmmm.... the burger that is.
if she is fat it would be like a lorry riding over a cycle
then only life is enjoyable
I always thought every man likes a woman with a big butt that he can whip with a car antenna. I know I do...
What a stupid comment.
Plus I know guys who're never stressed that prefer thicker women.
OH! Who're. Oops. My bad..... JK...lol
