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.

HEALTHLAND.TIME.COM reports:
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'm calling BS on this one.Some men prefer heavier women and some don't.Would that then mean once his life became easier he would dump her for a thinner woman? I know I hold true to type I like TDH men with weight proportionate that doesn't vary ,never has.As to Giselle Bundchen legs I'm a heterosexual woman and will readily admit the woman has thighs to die for and they're not skinny they're gorgeous.

    Ilike her and the blonde at the top. tall & leggy, short & chunky as long as they're good in bed is all that matters.

    Well also that they are somewhat intelligent if you are going to spend more than a couple nights with them.

    Absolutely!v I never could stand dumb broads especially smart women that acted dumb.If a woman is educated and intelligent I find that to be a real turn on.

    Speaking for myself, I always preferred the slim type. Though when I got right down to it, it was all about how comfortable the woman seemed to be in her own skin.

    You should have wrapped those long legs around his neck and then asked him if he still thought they were to long.

    You look fine to me. Some people just aren't happy unless in a fight or arguement. They invent things to complain about, plus it takes the focus off their own shortcomings.

    A woman who looks like that would never drink beer. Way too fattening.

    Not true. In college dated many that looked like. Always had a beer or two with them as well. We worked out in the college gym together. We would go to the "beer" room to drink a beer before working out. It was our "protein" drink.
