Why do Men like Women with big butts?
According to authors, it has more to do with “prehistoric influences” than standards of beauty.
Since pregnancy pitches the center of gravity forward, this spinal structure would have enabled pregnant women to balance their weight over the hips.
In turn, men who preferred these women would have had mates who were better able to provide for fetus and offspring, and who would have been able to carry out multiple pregnancies without injury.”
The bottom line: Women who have a bigger butt with an arched back are able to carry the weight of pregnancy better, which is why men notice these traits.
