Scientists Explain Why Men Love Big Butts

According to Mail Online, researchers have discovered that men are particularly attracted to women with a back that curves 45 degrees above the top of her bottom.

    Such an angle would have given a woman an advantage while pregnant in early hunter-gatherer societies and so has evolved as being seen as attractive around the world, they claim.

    The findings suggest one possible reason for why the curvy figures of celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez are seen as being so attractive.

   The scientists found that extra mass around the buttocks could often enhance the curvature of a woman’s spine.

    Dr. Lewis said that this trait would have become sexually attractive to men due to the evolutionary advantage it gave.

    Without such a curve, the pressure on a woman’s hips during pregnancy increases by nearly 800 per cent, rendering her largely immobile and increasing the risk of health problems.

    Analysis of the results also found that the preference for this level of spine curve was ‘unequivocally not a by-product of a preference for buttock mass’, they added. Men who think they like big bottoms may actually be more into spines, Dr Lewis said.

    He said: ‘Men may be directing their attention to the butt and obtaining information about women’s spines, even if they are unaware that that is what their minds are doing.
