mens alleged stereotypical preferences for women

common belief 1.
Men like big breasted women.

Actually, this is biologically supported since breast size is usually a measure of fertility. Not exactly the size, but rather, since the olden ages, in many civilizations, cultures and beliefs, both mythical and real, large breasts have always been a symbol of fertility. Take freya the goddess of fertility for the Norse gods. Her breasts are sizeable assets. And anyway it can be logically deduced that a woman with larger breasts is likely to be more fertile since larger breast size usually = more breast milk = more milk for baby. Actually after all this im only finding reasons to substantiate such preferences men have for women. Whether they really do have such preferences has yet to be tested. And whether the first place a man rests his eyes on when speaking to a woman is her assets is a point for much argument.
Im not a guy, HOW WOULD I KNOW????


Common belief 2.
Men like women with big butts.

This preference is also not unfounded. Since the primitive ages, wider hips have been linked with high levels of fetility. Since the human instinct is to have sex [to reproduce, not for pleasure purposes! Nature made it pleasurable to encourage man to do so, but it is not the primary reason.] to have offspring with their genes to continue the generation, of course it is likely that men prefer women with larger hips and buttocks. And rather reliable sources [aunties. Yes, they are highly reliable despite the occasional hoo ha] link larger buttocks with smoother and easier childbirth. Im not sure, correct me if im wrong, but I think its either a hainanese or Cantonese tradition for the mother-in-law to whack the butt of her daughter-in-law to see if it is large and urm, taut enough. Because large and urm, tensile butts are supposed to signify that the woman can carry many children. So if the mother-in-law gives her stamp of approval, it’s a bonus I suppose. Going back to the central heart of the issue, again I have given reasons to support mens likes, but whether they really do like. Personally I UTTERLY DISLIKE LARGE BUTTS THEY ARE SO REVOLTING. No, it is not because I am jealous of big butted women I have a rather large one myself. But personally I dislike large butts, personal preference so I cannot understand why men like them. Urgh.
Someone say something. I need stats to prove myself. Men DO like big butts.

Common belief 3.
Men like women with a gentle disposition [aka large doe eyes, long soft hair, gentle demeanor.]

This is total NONSENSE! Im pushing away this stereotype because it is so overrated and so behind times already. Actually the new stereotype im proposing is guys want the perfect girlfriend who can act cute a little, act lian a little, be bitchy sometimes, but be gentle caring and submissive to him and only him. This is more like it. But this girlfriend is unlikely to exist in real life. Anyway, some hunks [such as cleo bachelor of this year, some mix blooded hottie [personally I don’t find him attractive but my view is unimportant] says he likes the bronzed sporty looking babe type. Thats what he says anyway. And with the rising popularity of movies like my sassy gal, guys are starting to like girls who prove to be a good fight. Or slap. In any case. [okay, the actress in that movie has long soft hair for the guy to toy with and is rather doe eyed but in this case this is not important]. The good old submissive gentle doe eyed bride stereotype should be shoved to one dusty corner, left to rot.

Common belief 4.
[women think] men like skinny women.

Actually I believed so myself until a rather significant amount of guys I know told me that they prefer curvy, slightly plump women to the skinny type. I was flabbergasted. Of course, this is a rather good thing, because I think with all the slimming ads and all the media influences seeping into womens minds brainwashing them, we need men to tell us that they like us plump, and not have to slim down via unhealthy methods or dangerous ones. So this stereotype doesnt even exist in the first place. Actually I suppose its a lifelong obsession women have with the medias perception of beauty. Im still waiting for it to be fashionable to be plump and full again like the ancient times in India and china. The best example is yang gui fei. When she will make a comeback, im not quite sure.

Common belief 5.
Men like women shorter and smaller sized.

The main idea is that men like smaller sized women so that they fulfill their hero desire when they get to protect their girlfriend. It makes them feel big and boosts their ego. Im not sure if this is true. However I think its interesting to obersve that very tall guys seem to have significantly shorted other halves, whilst moderately tall and sized guys have moderately sized girlfriends. Cant prove this without statistics. And this requires a larger sample size.

Common belief 6.
Men like women who are stupider than them. [or are likely to not like women who are smarter than them]

This can be linked with point 5. the whole idea of men having stupider girlfriends is so that he can show off his knowledge and brute strength [brains and brawn] and his not-so-clever girlfriend can fawn over him and go,
WAAAAA, so macho, so man, or WAAAAAA, you re so knowledgable

T_T this is too extreme. Of course im just playing around. In actual fact I believe this is true to a small extent. Because women who are smarter or more capable pose a challenge to men. It deflates their ego. So depending on what type of man you are, unless you re the type who thrives on challenges and will rise to the occasion, you d prefer a less smart girlfriend. My guess is that the furthest a man will go would be a girlfriend that is of the same caliber or same capability as him. Because even after you step out into society, differences in capability, especially should it be that the woman is more capable than the man [is the breadwinner of family etc], it will be frowned upon because this does not conform to societys norms. Society simply cannot take it take for some cases women may be stronger than men. Heck, even some women cannot accept it and speak ill of such cases. So you can blame it on societys influence that forces the man to choose so.




After all this, im tired. If I think of more points, I ll continue sometime soon.
Any views or suggestions, want to rebute, agree, tag me or email. I d be happy to listen.
if im longwinded, sorry. ranting today.
