Stressed-Out Men Prefer Chubby Women

(London, England) According to a survey performed by researchers at the University of Westminster, when men are stressed, they prefer chubbier women.

The study, lead by Viren Swami, rounded up 81 young men whose ages ranged from 18 to 42 and raised the stress levels of 41 of the men by having them do some tough math and to participate in a simulated job interview — a situation that has been proven to significantly increase tension and anxiety, while the rest of the group got to relax in a quiet room.

Afterwards, all of the participants were shown 10 photos of women whose weight ranged from emaciated to obese and were then asked to rate the attractiveness of the women on a scale of 1 to 10.

The men found the overweight women to be more attractive.
