Why should women not wear pants and short tops? Why should women drape themselves in yards of thick cotton saree?Slide3: The allure of the hourglass figure is "programmed" in the human mind, because it provides important biological information about a woman's youthfulness, health status, and fertility. Slide4: It should be stressed that the notion of what constitutes female attractiveness is wired in the human mindSlide5: If attractiveness is a signal of mate quality, females (signal generators) and males (signal receivers) must share the meaning and significance of such signals to be biologically useful. If women knew what men find attractive, they could highlight such features with the help of makeup, dress, corsets, or tight belts (deception tactics). Slide6: On the other hand, if a woman wishes to convey that she is not sexually available, she can hide such features by a lack of makeup or choice of dress style or clothing (a nun's habit or a business suit). (Singh & Luis, 1995). Slide7: Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)–Measure of Body Shape A widely-used anthropometric technique to ascertain the degree of gynoid and android fat distribution is to measure circumference of the waist (narrowest portion between the ribs and iliac crest) and hips (at the level of the greatest protrusion of the buttocks), and using these measurements to compute a waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Slide8: WHR is a stable and highly reliable measure and is significantly correlated with fat distribution measurement using computed tomography scanning (Despres, Prud'homme, Pouliot, Tremblay, & Bouchard, 1991). Before puberty, both sexes have similar WHRs. After puberty, females deposit more fat in the hips and buttocks; WHR therefore becomes significantly lower in females than in males. WHR has a bimodal distribution with relatively little overlap between the sexes. Slide10: the WHR of healthy, reproductively capable woman (between puberty and menopause) ranges between 0.67 and 0.8 (men in same age group: 0.85-0.95); WHR is correlated with fertility, and many health problems affect the distribution of fat (diabetes, hypertension, gallbladder distortions, etc.) and obviously pregnancy alters WHR tremendously… in several studies, men rated the attractiveness of female figures that varied in the total amount of fat and the WHR; they found the average size more attractive than either a thin or a fat figure – regardless of the total amount of fat, men found the figures with low WHR (0.7) most attractive (Singh 1993) Slide11: The typical range of WHR for healthy premenopausal women has been shown to be .67 to .80, whereas healthy men have WHRs in the range of .85 to .95. Women typically maintain a lower WHR than men throughout adulthood, although after menopause their WHR approaches the masculine range (for evidence summary, see Singh, 1993a). Thus, the size of WHR can be used as a reliable proxy of women's general reproductive status (pre or postpubertal and menopausal) and youthfulness. Slide12: There is strong evidence indicating that WHR is an accurate somatic indicator of reproductive endocrinological status and long-term health risk WHR reliably links practically all the conditions that affect women's reproductive status and fertility (for reference, see Singh, 1993a, 2002). It seems that an elevated level of circulating estrogen lowers WHR, whereas an elevated level of circulating testosterone increases WHR. Slide13: Women with high WHR have more irregular menstrual cycles, fewer ovulatory cycles, and lower pregnancy rates in artificial insemination and in vitro fertilization embryo transfers than women with lower WHRs, independent of body weight. Slide14: Reproductive success of men in ancestral environments would have depended on selecting a healthy partner. Healthy females would have successful pregnancy outcomes, would provide better maternal care, and would give the genetic gift of good health to her children more so than females prone to various diseases. WHR is an independent predictor for risk for cardiovascular disorders, adult-onset diabetes, and various cancers. Slide15: WHR size provides reliable information about the reproductive age, fertility, and health status of a woman at a glance. If fertility and good health are significant determinants of female attractiveness, one should be able to affect female attractiveness judgments systematically by manipulating WHR size alone. Slide16: Allure of the hourglass figure is "programmed" in the human mind, because it provides important biological information about a woman's youthfulness, health status, and fertility. Slide17: It should be stressed that the notion of what constitutes female attractiveness is wired in the human mind, as it has important implications regarding reproductive success, which is the primary evolutionary drive in all living beings.Traditional Dresses: Traditional Dresses By tradition dressing meant not just covering the skin, but hiding the shape of human anatomy You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
