Why
Guys Love Round Butts
Baby got
back: Women with curvy behinds made better nomadic
child-bearers—which is why guys love round butts today, argues a
new study from the University of Texas.
You’ve
probably never thought about “lumbar curvature” or “vertebral
wedging.” But the study authors have. And their research shows men
tend to go gaga over a woman with the type of spine curvature that
makes her butt seem to pop out or protrude.
If you’re
like the average man, you’re especially attracted to a woman with a
spine that curves roughly 45 degrees above the top of her butt, the
research shows.
Why? “This
degree of curvature would have enabled ancestral women to shift their
center of mass back over their hips during pregnancy,” says study
coauthor David M.G. Lewis, Ph.D.
Back in
hunter-gatherer times, human beings were constantly on the move.
Staying still was a death sentence. So women who could keep walking
long distances even while very pregnant had an advantage in terms of
reproduction and survival.
Lewis says
a 45-degree lumbar curvature allows a woman to carry the weight of
her unborn baby in a way that makes her less vulnerable to spinal
injuries than women with more or less curvature. Thousands of years
ago, this would have helped her to keep moving and foraging during
the later stages of pregnancy—a huge plus, Lewis says.
Apparently
modern man hasn’t lost his taste for curvaceous, baby-bearing
derrieres, this research suggests.
