Men get attracted to women who have a low waist to hip ratio. The optimum waist to hip ratio that was found to be most attractive for men is 0.8.

Introduction to Persistence My workout at gym class yesterday was nothing special; I went there at 4 just like I'm used to, and came back at 6 as I do every time.
