According to this article: (link swiped from Kim)

MEN are more likely to stray if their partners are slim, a survey has found.

Men with skinny wives and girlfriends could be interested in appearance alone - and on the lookout for someone even more attractive.

In contrast, seven in 10 faithful men prefer their women size 16 or over.

Interesting eh? This kinda flies in the face of conventional wisdom. With body size being considered the standard barometer of attraction, you would think that the guy with the "cuddlier" companion would be more likely to be unfaithful as he seeks out slimmer/more attractive women.

I've always been fascinated by the idea of attraction. I've been involved in relationships with women of all different sizes and shapes. So at least for me, body size isn't the only measure of attractiveness. I'm probably as likely as the next guy to run the risk of an accident craning my neck to look at a shapely lady walking down the street. But when it comes to attraction...what stokes me fire..what keeps my interest..it gets pretty complicated.

What is it then? I'm a quiet, soft-spoken, thoughtful guy who sometimes needs encouragement to "loosen up". So I've often found myself attracted to outgoing, feisty, opinionated women. The old "opposites attract" thing must have something going for it.

Then there is laughter. There are few things sexier than a woman with a sense of humor and a great laugh. I like passion, and in my experience, women who laugh a lot have passion in other areas as well!

Of course there are the eyes. I love eye contact and always enjoy a woman who can hold an extended conversation and not avert her eyes. So much can be conveyed through eyes! If you pay close attention to a woman's eyes they will tell you much.

Some people would say, "yeah right". But I've always enjoyed intelligent women who can talk about a variety of subjects. Politics and religion? No problem. Sports? Why not? Sex? Lets hear it! Kids and school? Tell me all about it. I'm attracted to women who are aware of what is going on in the world around them.

I'd be lying if I said there wasn't also a physical component to what attracts me. I tend to like curves and shape...women who are built like a woman and not a skinny teenage boy. Its probably very un-guy-like to admit but breast size has never been any issue for me. Big or small?..doesn't matter as long as they are there! Hair color doesn't matter either but I tend to be attracted to women with hair at least shoulder length.

Other than that I still have a hard time figuring out what defines attraction for me. Sometimes the chemistry is just there or it isn't.

Who said life was supposed to be uncomplicated anyway?
