Recently a research conducted by New Zealand anthropologist Barnaby Dixson to find out to find what makes a woman attractive to men. The outcome shows that a woman's attractiveness relates to the size of her waist compared with her hips. Scientists have discovered the ratio which, they say, makes for the perfect figure.

"A group of volunteers were presented with various pictures of a woman in which her bust, waist and hips had been digitally altered and asked to rate the image for attractiveness. Infra-red cameras tracked their eyes as they looked at the photos. Although most were initially drawn to the woman's cleavage, her hips and waist were key to attraction.”
A waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7 or in the other words, a waist measurement exactly 70 per cent of the hip circumference, scored the highest marks.

We can mention some of the world's most beautiful women who fit to this criteria. Marilyn Monroe, Jessica Alba and Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio all have the perfect figure. Dixson believes that: “It is likely that perfect 0.7 ratio sends a biological signal to men that that woman is most fertile and most likely to produce a healthy offspring, no matter what size that woman is," . "It is all about the distribution of fat, which is directly linked to fertility."
