The argument continues! A snappy survey in Karma Kerala office was held in a bid to know whether men prefer slim or curvaceous female frames. In this interesting game, the men  grouped themselves into two teams,  supporting and opposing  this cause!
Times have changed ; however men’s outlook about feminine beauty hasn’t.  Well at least that is what the result of this game revealed ! A sizable number of men preferred a femme fatale with ample curves  in lieu of a very lean or famished figure.

The men who prefer full bodied figurines have their own  justifications to back their point.

• Let us start in the reverse chronological order and go back to the olden times. Most of the Indian goddesses  flaunt a full figure to die for, the masterpieces of many classic painters like Ravi Varma portray voluptuous  ladies and these wall frames are  grabbed for a fortune in auction halls even today!
• The Indian movie industry, the largest of its type in the world often has been the harbinger of the latest trends. It had  set off a frenzy by introducing many actresses who are bestowed with the most desirable figures. It is not by chance that a majority of well known Indian heroines like Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Hema Malini , Sree vidya  and  Vidya Balan  among many others are full bodied.  The sensuous Shakeela whose mere screen presence could pump up  heart beats of many men became a trend setter  in Malayalam film industry, which in itself is a proof that  men adore sensuality.
• The wedding snaps of the  famous American actress, Kim Kardashian, well known for her sexy curves was sold  for a staggering  $1.5 Million, which shows that the curves are always in hot demand!

Let’s admit it, the genes in males are made to appreciate sensuous beauty.Smitten by their erotic charm, one of our Malayalam poets had even sang that  gold  and feminine beauty could  give you  a heart burn!

Now coming back to the terra firma from epics and poems!

• When a man  starts looking for a life partner, the first thing he insists is that the prospective bride should be full figured and not  very lean. Whether you like it or not, even the TV ads of  body enhancing tonics blare out that  lean girls are NOT in  demand in matrimonial circuits!
• Often well built  body types are associated with fertility , health and  sex appeal.  After all who doesn’t want his wife to be a crowd puller in a gathering?
• Most of the Indian dresses are designed to accentuate the curves of a full feminine frame. The typical Kerala attire of set mundu is best carried off  by full bodied females; and very often lean frames look miserable in most of the Indian costumes (Men say they will look like “ a stick dressed in a cloth ” ).
• Most men  even have the opinion that if a lady has to wear traditional heavy jewelery, she should  have a healthy body.
• These men unanimously say, if they have to balance the weight while travelling on a bike, a full figured wife is a must Or else, if a strong wind wipes past, chances are that she might fly off and the rider  can lose control.
• Last but not the least , all  men who support  healthy , full bodied females say in chorus that only such girls can discharge their domestic chores easily  and can  be  perfect home makers!

When the stories of cat walking skinny girls who collapsed on the ramp  are going viral in the media, don’t you think that these men do have a strong point to their credit?
