Whatever the accuracy of the study, it is merely an 'indicator'- a description perhaps of a bell-shaped curve. I'm sure that I, as a male, would not register very high on a strictly 'rated' view of male sexiness..*grin*...broad shoulders and muscles and...ummm..other things.

   Quite apart from what is 'sexy',(that is, what will win beauty contests), an analysis of what members of both sexes find attractive in members of the opposite sex is a quite complex matter.
   I have seen beauty contest winners that had 'ideal' measurements that I found dull and unpleasant in bearing and totally uninteresting as theoretical 'partners'. Yet, I have seen and met women both fat and thin who would never even get IN a beauty pageant that were glowing, attractive, happy, pleasant, desirable individuals.

(I'm sure all this should be obvious, but it seemed like it needed to be noted in this context.)
