Yes, in general, men like slender, half naked chicks with nice boobs.
As for EVE: the char creator pretty much spews out pretty chicks by itself. If you want to create a big ugly hag it requires effort, I don't like effort.... |

Yeah, I know. I've actually seen people seemingly shocked by the revelation that men like slender women with big breasts.
The truth shouldn't offend anyone. And if it does offend you, then you were clinging to a lie in the first place.

I started wondering if this is a perceived majority or a real one.
Based on the only relevant studies I could easily find:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20169468 http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0057623 http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-013-0081-5 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18089285
It depends on where you draw the line between small/medium/large/xtra, but men generally prefer something closer to medium (though, it's by no means a super-majority).
Large breast size preference also correlates with lower economic status and sexism.
I hope this truth doesn't offend you. |

Considering that the only one of your cited sources that has a sufficiently large amount to account for a margin of error studied men in Malaysia? Hardly.
But then, I guess the predication that I am talking about Western Civilization was too much to ask for.

I suppose reading your own sources was too much to ask for? Second link from the top, first paragraph, third sentence:
Quote:In Study 1, 266 men from three sites in Malaysia varying in relative socioeconomic status (high to low) rated a series of animated figures varying in breast size for physical attractiveness.

You'll have to help me through your reasoning process. As a scientist, I'm having trouble understanding how one of the studies being conducted in Malaysia makes the others have insignificant sample sizes.

Which might be a valid criticism if the other three studies weren't from France, England, and New Zealand.
It's also worth noting that the study in question tried to differentiate between their hypothesis and potential cultural differences in a second study with university students. (I'm guessing you didn't read the full thing though)
On a side note: While I've never been to the city in the study, it doesn't strike me as very third world: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kota_Kinabalu |

Your lack of understanding is disturbing.
It's the same reason women like broad shoulders, large biceps, big pecks, small waist, a big peck** and muscular legs on a man. Instinctively it equates to virility. And while some women do prefer men with lesser attributes, that is most likely due to their own physical makeup and/or psychology that is influenced by their own experiences. But always, the stereotypical image is what is superficially most attractive.
I can say from first hand experience, if a woman knows you have over average endowment, on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the most hideous creation and 10 adonis), it's instantly worth +2 points with a +0.5pt increase for every measure you are above average. It's the same for a woman's rack. A woman's endowment is just so much more obvious. As a hetero man, I don't care if you prefer A cups. If a DD walks by in a low cut shirt, you're looking....it's called biology.
Guys just don't lie about it as much as women do. Because as we all *laugh* know, for women it's about the emotional *laugh* connection.

oh, one of these gender attributes and preferences thereof discussions again. a forum reader can generally look forward to one or two of these a month. always fascinating reading.
i'm a female player. and i am not in the least surprised that there are so many grossly oversexualized avatars flying around. for all the same reasons that most pc games have nude and skimpy mods being created within days of the games release. i think it's primarily demographics of the player base and natural inclinations involved. no real revelations here. anyone that finds any compelling eye openers might also find it absolutely shocking that fire is indeed hot. water; wet.
as someone so adequately put it up above...this is fantasy |

You wanna tell me your character looks like you do in real life? I'm NOT saying you are most likely ugly, in fact, i would never ever say such a thing, but i do speculate that you are not at ease with your own appearance, like most women.
Are you feeling uncomfortable with the fact that most female chars look like they do, because you have a negative self-image? If a man speaks his mind in the forest and no woman hears him, is he still wrong? |

I am a man in real life. I said it already. The character is a compromise of what I want and what is possible with the character editor (there are some limitations in sculpting which prevent you from creating exactly what you imagine). |

It depends on the culture. The more centuries you go back in history the more you will see that round and curvy woman were what they call healthy and prolific. If you would put some Hollywood figure or model into some medieval age village they would try to feed her because they would thing she is nearly dying a starvation death. Look at ancient Greek statues. You will not see a big rack. |

But that was a historic view of fertility in an era when feeding a population during any given year could be impossible, famine being a regular occurrence. It would make sense that a population who valued their women less than their men would see a woman that was overweight as being affluent and healthy and thereby fertile since it would mean she comes from a background that could/would afford to feed her that much.
Not all historical views of women from ancient times portrayed women as such. In fact, there are plenty of examples of female sexuality that include exactly what we consider attractive now. I think what is portrayed now is quite attractive. And I do like skinny women with a big rack. And something in my pants tells me this has little to do with Hollywood.

of course then i got into retail at a couple shoe stores and found out even girls in real life have problems finding boots and shoes without heels/wedges unless they shop in the mens section. which is even more ridiculous than heels in the game. |

Biology does not change [in 2 thousand years], just "official" cultural stereotypes change over time. Like haute-couture magazines promote anorexic figures because they are used in the industry for easier clothing design - not because people actually like them (it's easy to create clothing for muscle/fat-less unified mop's handle instead of actual curvy female figure). Yet you won't see such figures in [non-specialized] porno because most men don't like them. |
