Men’s love affair with lengthy ladies just a myth
December 10th, 2009 - 1:58 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )Melbourne, Dec 10 (ANI): You can now stop envying women with lengthy ladies, for a new study claims that men prefer girls a little less leggy.
In the search to find the most attractive legs, UK researchers asked more than 1000 men and women to rate a series of images of female bodies, reports The Courier Mail.
In each image the legs had been made shorter or longer, to alter the ‘leg-to-body ratio’, but the overall height remained the same.
The men interviewed were asked which pictures they liked the most while the women were asked to predict the men’s thoughts.
While most women surveyed thought men lusted after longer legs, the University of Westminster research found men preferred women of average height - where their legs accounted for half of their overall height. (ANI)
