Did you know that men find an hourglass figure to be more attractive than breast size on women? According to a New Zealand study, a waist that’s smaller than the hips was most preferred by the study’s male participants (specifically, a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7, in which the waist circumference is 70% of the hip circumference).
