Drain Bead: Actually, what that proved was that men liked a certain waist-hip ratio. Men were inevitably drawn to women whose waists measured 70 percent of the size of their hips, regardless of their actual overall physical size. In fact, many of the men selected the larger-size women who had that waist-to-hip ratio over the skinny, boyish-looking body type so popular on the runways these days.
Konrad: That’s the one. And, of course, very fat women don’t have that kind of ratio.
The BBW I’m married to has that kind of ratio; she’s got a very nice waist, thanks.
Seriously, what thread set off all the fireworks?
