The battle of brains vs busts may have finally come to a close.
While some may deny it, men are occasionally attracted to women with large breasts. It’s one of the first things they notice about a woman and, for some, may even be the reason they approach the woman in the first place.
However, in a recent study conducted by evolutionary biologist and Cambridge academic professor David Bainbridge, men apparently value intelligence more than looks–hence their preference to “brainy” women. Intelligent women, it shows, were more capable of becoming responsible mothers.
Other traits usually listed as attractive, such as having long legs, weren’t much of a big deal either.
“Men only prize symmetrical features because it suggests a potential partner is young, healthy, and has stable genes. As a result, men are not even interested in the size of a woman’s breasts–because they are rarely symmetrical,” Bainbridge says.
He also says women with larger breasts seem to look older than women with smaller breasts and men want a youthful-looking wife as much as possible.
“The main thing that men are looking for is intelligence. Surveys have shown time and time again that this is the first thing that men look for. It shows that she will be able to look after his children and that her parents were probably intelligent, suggesting that she was brought up well.”
