Women who are slim indeed been shown to be more successful in their careers. Women who have a body "very slim" be earning nearly U.S. $ 22,000, surpassing the women who chose an average weight. This according to a study in the Journal of Applied Psychology.

But if the slimming obsession can be potentially beneficial in terms of finance for women, whether this also applies equally to their relationship with men? After this article was released, most men just do not feel the same. Here's an explanation of why men are biologically programmed to inflame women healthy, fit and exciting version of Askmen.com, Wednesday (4 / 1).

1. Waist to calculate the ratio of hip
Measuring waist circumference by hip circumference will provide waist-hip ratio, it is very important to determine the level of attractiveness of a woman. In Western culture, waist-hip ratio of 0.7 seems to be one of the most attractive men, and studies have found it is associated with optimal levels of female reproductive hormones and a lower likelihood of contracting various diseases.

Other studies also suggest that in Asia, women with a ratio close to 0.6 is considered most attractive. While in Africa and Latin America, the ratio was near 0.8 are preferred men. Surprisingly, a wide range of these measurements it produces waist-hip ratio is getting lower.

For example, Marilyn Monroe has a waist-hip ratio is less than Gisele Bundchen. In essence, the body plump, like a classic hourglass, make men drool and women who are very thin body shape tend to have difficulty.

2. Fat Equivalent to Fertility
Given the woman's body is designed to contain a baby during pregnancy period is relatively longer compared with other species, women are naturally store fat. When our ancestors lived in caves and food scarce, a woman with excess weight were more likely to be a baby. Apparently, it is important that the majority of fat women are located in the body.

Specifically, the fat around the hips of a woman can serve as an indication of how much fat is available to convert food into energy for the fetus. In fact, researchers have suspected that long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids contained in hip fat is actually essential for fetal brain development. With a certain level of healthy fats, it can send a signal to the men to choose a woman as his running mate.

3. Normal size of BMI Could Very Attractive
After the waist-hip ratio of women has long been touted as a measure of physical attractiveness to men, recent research suggests that body mass index (BMI) can be a powerful predictor of a woman's level of attractiveness. This interesting case is obtained by dividing weight by height women. Clearly, the size of the BMI that falls into the normal range being the most desired by men, and these measures are also closely linked to women's overall health, and reproductive potential.

A woman with a BMI above 25 is considered overweight, while BMI below 18 is indicative of underweight. Within the normal range, women should have a BMI around 19, which has a lower mortality rate and more fertile than women who are very thin. Low BMI was also associated with poor health, eating disorders and reduced fertility due to amenorrhea.

4. Men Always Like Breasts (and buttocks)
In one of the most surprising discoveries of the 21st century, there was a biological reason why men like breasts. In 2004, a study published in Biological Sciences found that large breasts, especially when combined with small waist, was associated with higher levels of estradiol and progesterone cycles in women.

Basically, this hormone has a higher level around ovulation means that a woman with breasts is likely to get pregnant faster. A woman with excess fat in the body seems more attractive to men in the perspective of mating. Except with the implant, it is uncommon for women who are thin have big breasts. And unfortunately, when women lose weight, one of the first body parts joined to shrink is their breast.

Healthy Without Having to Thin

Although it is clear that men want women who are healthy, including a woman who has a big butt, the reality is that about 50% of U.S. women are overweight, and the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized obesity as a global epidemic. Men find women most attractive when a woman can take care of themselves and maintain muscle balance and healthy fats.

So if you are a woman, you should stop dieting to get thin and start eating a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Then, you could be the women who attract the hearts of men.
