It seems cliche, but it just might be true. The more sexist a man is, the more likely he is to be into big boobs.

A recent study from the University of Westminster, published in February in the Archives of Sexual Behavior, showed that men’s attitudes toward women influence their attitudes about ideal breast size. The researchers interviewed 361 white, heterosexual men, ranging in age from 18 to 68. (Since ethnicity has been previously shown to impact how individuals perceive breast size, the researchers decided to pull participants from just one self-identified racial category.) Each man was shown five different 3-D models of women, each with a different breast size, and then asked to record which “woman” he found most physically attractive.

Afterward, the participants were given surveys which measured each man’s level of hostility toward women, his attitudes about relationships between men and women, benevolent sexism and how much he objectified women.

The researchers found that the largest percentage of participants (32.7 percent) rated medium-sized breasts as “most attractive,” followed by large (24.4 percent), very large (19.1 percent), small (15.5 percent) and very small (8.3 percent). However, a preference for large and very large breasts was significantly correlated with overt sexism, benevolent sexism, female objectification and hostile attitudes toward women.

Rules me out then. I not need a boob bigger than my hand.

What is “benevolent sexism”?

Being nicer to women than to men?

Good old fashioned gallantry I imagine.

i hate it when women objectify me – as they run their eyes admiringly over my torso

I think you’ll find that they are deciding how long your body would feed their pitbulls, and what to do with the leftovers.

“One of these things is not like the other….”

“One of these things is not like the other….”

true

if its true that humans objectify women, then that explains a lot of objectification of women doesn’t it?

note that I said humans objectify women as males and females both do it

and a lot of women and men complain about it

and that says to me that we still don’t know a lot about ourselves

Think of it like this: if our brains were so simple that we could understand them, we’d be too simple to understand our brains.

Buffy y’big boob

Er, that is to say….

Can’t say I’ve ever been able to be accused of having big boobs…..and I had to wait until I was into my thirties before I had anything of any sort of substance……

(I put on a bit of weight. I was never skinny, but a little bit extra gave me a bit more curvature)

:)

I read that title as “sexiest men prefer big boobs”.
