Let’s be honest; comfort, presence, and personality are all reasons why most men love curvy women beyond appearance.
As a petite girl, I am often surprised when the guys I crush on go for my more fleshy friends.
Don’t get me wrong—I love my friends to the moon—but I often get intrigued when I see a guy choose a curvy girl among many slim ladies.
One day, a male friend told me men generally are attracted to curvier women because they have more ‘meat’ on their flesh.
In his exact words, ‘I don’t want to hug skin and bones.’
This piqued my curiosity even more and led to me researching why most men love curvy women.
Turns out the attraction to curvy women has deeper psychological and biological reasons, which have been backed by science.

8 Reasons Most Men Are Attracted To Curvy Women
1. It’s a Natural Phenomenon
Attraction goes deeper than having a spec. For the longest time, curves have been associated with fertility.
Women who have curves are perceived to be able to bear stronger and healthier children. Dr. Devendra Singh came up with the Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) as one of the strongest fertility indicators.
According to him and other studies, men find a WHR of around 0.7 -where the waist is significantly smaller than the hips- most attractive.
This region even suggests that a curvy woman can conceive more quickly and is less likely to experience chronic illnesses.
In short, the curvier a woman is, the more capable she is to bear healthy children.
While a lot of things have changed in modern times, the choice of a partner is still being influenced by these biological factors.
