남성이 굴곡 있는 몸매에 끌리는 이유
남성이 여성의 얇은 허리와 굴곡 있는 엉덩이를 좋아하는 이유는 젊음과 다산의 상징이기 때문이라고 여겨졌다. 최근 이러한 이론에 대한 추가적인 연구 결과가 나왔다. (123rf)텍사스 대학의 심리학자인 에릭 루셀에 따르면 남성들이 여성의 굴곡 있는 엉덩이를 좋아하는 이유는 요추가 더 구부러진 여성들이 임신의 중압감을 덜 느낀다고 생각하기 때문이다. 에릭은 허핑턴 포스트와의 인터뷰에서 “진화론적인 관점에서 보면 이러한 여성들이 부상 없이 아기를 낳고, 임신 중에도 식량을 찾을 수 있기 때문에 남성들이 배우자로 더 선호했을 가능성이 크다”고 말했다. 또한, 남성 300명을 대상으로 실시한 설문조사 결과 요추가 45.5도로 휘어진 여성을 가장 매력적으로 느끼는 것으로 나타났다.
