You know how people tend to make poor decisions when they’re under a lot of stress?  Well, here’s the latest example.  A study conducted by the University of Westminster discovered that stressed-out blokes found “significantly heavier female body size as maximally attractive” when shown a series of pictures, according to the Toronto Sun.

The Westminister study, published in a journal called PLoS One (seriously?) asked 41 stress-filled fellows to “rate the attractiveness of women whose bodies ranged from emaciated to obese,” while another 40 stress-free folks did the same.  No word as to how skinny were the women the stress-less men were into, but on the other hand, it’s official: Angry Birds prefer Hungry, Hungry Hippos—or rather 21st Century Schizoid Men dig Fat Bottom Girls.

“The authors said this phenomenon could be because people tend to idealize mature morphological traits, such as heavier body size, when they experience an environmental threat like stress,” as per the Sun.  Not knowing what morphological means, I’m guessing it has something to do with eating your weight in Big Macs…
