"They" (I dont remember who, Im sure I can dig it out of the internet if needed) did a study of international cultures, on which body sizes and types they prefered. Cultures varied on the weight that they prefered, but they always rated women with a 8/10 ratio of waist to hip as most attractive. From americanized societies to jungle societies, that was the main factor in attractiveness of body shape.

I also prefer women with curves. Then again, my top is a skinny size 2 women. But most of my girlfriends and lovers were larger sized.
