Curvy girls have brains

Not much time today, so I'm glad my friend Jason sent this to me yesterday.
If you're a curvy woman, you should read it. It tells you that recent research shows you're "brighter than [your] waif-like counterparts," which is nice to know. As a matter of fact, the "bigger the difference between a woman's waist and hips the better." Turns out my hips are more than just sexay.
However, upon further speculation (meaning I did more than skim like I usually do) I realized that the point of the article is to say that we curvy women may well produce intelligent offspring. Which, okay fine, good to know. But what annoys me is how this is supposed to make us doubly attractive to men.
"Men respond to the double enticement of both an intelligent partner and an intelligent child."
Gag. I'm not a baby-maker, thank you. If you love my curves because they're hot, great, I think so too. But if you love them because you think they'll make you a smart baby someday, fuck off. No babies for you.

Wooooo! Not only does your milkshake bring all the boys to the yard, your ability to string together cohesive sentences keeps them there (I know that's not exactly the message of the article, but that's the way I am skewing it!). :)
I was just glad to find that my love of good conversation has a greater statistical probability of mixing with my love of a nicely rounded bottom. Yeah, I like smart girls and big butts.
So.... Jason... Allow me to introduce myself... ;o)
How you doin' Lindsay? *wink*
If this article is true, my daughter is going to have intelligence to rival Stephen Hawkins. Go, go super hips!
Ha! "No babies for you" - I love it.
If curvy women produce more intelligent offspring, I'm happy to report my kid will be a soooper geeenius!
Yay me!
