I don't know anything about the correlation between a big butt and fertility. But I do know that in times of famine men were attracted to women with a lot of fat on them because it meant she wouldn't need as much food and wasn't as apt to starve to death as a slender woman.


The idea that fat meant healthy persisted well into the 1900s. Many of the immigrants who came to America during that time found a fat baby to be desirable. It meant they were surviving well and would probably be able to survive childhood illnesses better.


But with increased prosperity through that century it was discovered that all those fat cells were waiting to be developed in sedentary later life only to cause health problems.

I've heard that. I don't believe it.

I think it's because that's something men don't have, and it's a prominent feature that distinguishes female fr male.

Sounds like someone is trying to have everyone on here answer their Psych 101 homework.

You cannot be serious with this question, right?

This post should be in the human biology section, not psychology.

Who are these "others" you speak of?

Beautiful women are proof of the existence of both God and the devil.
