Curvy women are cleverer!

[Gromit]

"A study, to be published this week, shows that men who admire women with hourglass figures do so because they are more intelligent and therefore produce more intelligent children than waif-like women or those of "apple-shaped" proportions."

I normally treat these half-baked scientific research stories with the disdain they deserve, but I think there might be something in this one.

Is there anything in it do you think?

What a load of old tosh lol

[Pippa68]

I used to be hourglass. Now I am apple shaped..so I guess it is true you get more stupid as you get older.

[Reverandfunk]

But are you golden delicious or an old cooker lol

[daffy654]

What a load of b*ll*cks!!! Size is irrelevant to intelligence and you can't generalise in this way. I know lots of intelligent slim people and lots of thick larger people,and vice versa.

[Pippa68]

I dunno Rev..probably a Cox's orange Pippin.

[LoftyLottie]

LOL at Pippa!! Snap.

[Reverandfunk]

Like I know what one of them is lol

[Pippa68]

All the ones I have seen are small and shrivelled, Rev.

Not good news, is it? lol

[Reverandfunk]

Whats my life come to lol...

Talking to strangers about apples....

[China Doll]

When you say 'curvy'...re these the sort of women with small or average sized heads?

[netibiza]

so very true!!!

[legend758duo]

hopw do you like themm apples ??

[kwicky]

The problem is the size of the brain does not change and we all know is lighter and smaller than the man's brain.

I dont really have anything to say on the subject because it sounds like a load of bollox to me. However, I have just noticed saying the word cleverer doesn't make me sound intelligent at all, I don't think my west country accent can cope with all the Rs in such close proximity.

[Pippa68]

Nice one Goodie.

'More Clever' is the term us women would use...hourglass shaped or not :o)

[rabbitygirl]

Absolutely true. I am hourglass (ish) and I have the most intelligent children in the world. End of. But 'men who admire women with hourglass figures do so because they are more intelligent ......' give me a break. It has been established in the past tho that men used to select women with 'child bearing hips' because the chances of these women surviving childbirth and producing live children was higher.

[Goodsoulette]

I still sound a bit bumpkinny when I say more clever but its definitely "betterer" than cleverer!

[ruby27]

Grammar isn't my strongest point, but haven't you said that men are more intelligent for admiring hourglass figures? Rather than hourglass figures are more intelligent than apples and waifs? So by implication are you are suggesting that my partner and D Beckham are numpty's?

[Lady Muck]

Do you not have a small head then rubes?

(It's me)

LM
I always had a anxiety that I had a small head, to the extent that I developed small headimic. I used to apply a bicycle pump to my head in private until my head was completely overinflated. All my family and friends told me my head was ok, maybe a tad small but I would grow out of this as I got older. However, my worries became increased to the point in my early 20's sometimes I would not go out because I though my head was so small.

Now over 20 years later this anxiety makes me laugh in a way, my head is at least 4 stone smaller than when I was 20 but I don't worry now, I think well there are plenty of small headed women, as long as my friends and family can still love me, I can still find hats to wear without having to go to specialist shops, why should I worry

Except I do, my New Year resolution will be to diet and get a bigger head.
