For women seeking sperm, thin men are hot and square jaws are not

Brutes with square jaws, broad shoulders and big guts are totally not trending with the ladies. According to new research, women are less interested in the features that denote high testosterone levels and are falling for slim-hipped dudes less likely to drop dead before the kids are out of college. The choices of ovulating women asked to rate men of various sizes and face shapes suggested weight was a far greater factor in their preferences than masculine features. The women favored thinness "because of its strong association with health and immunity," said research scientist Vinet Coetzee, of South Africa's University of Pretoria.
