New Study - Hungry men prefer heavier women

[Merika]

A man's taste in women depends on how hungry he is, according to research cited in British newspapers.

According to The Times, research published in the British Journal of Psychology showed a man on an empty stomach is more likely to be attracted to a heavier woman.

The connection is believed to stem from an evolutionary trait that links body size with health, the newspaper reported.

The survey was carried out by researchers at Liverpool University and Newcastle University, surveying 60 university students, half of whom had just eaten, and the other half of whom had skipped a meal.

The students were shown images of women with their faces blocked off, and were asked to judge them on a scale of one to nine.

"Hungry men are much more tolerant and rate obese women more positively than men who have eaten," Viren Swami, one of the two psychologists who carried out the study, was quoted as saying in the Daily Star newspaper.
