A new study published in the journal “Personality and Individual Differences,” suggests that men’s attraction to women’s buttocks may be hardwired into their brains.
The study found that men who rated themselves as having a strong attraction to women’s buttocks also scored higher on a measure of “behavioural inhibition,” a personality trait linked to sensitivity to new and complex stimuli.
The study’s lead author, Dr Steven Arnocky, an evolutionary psychologist at Nipissing University in Canada, said that the results of the study suggest that men’s attraction to women’s buttocks is “an evolved adaptation that helped our ancestors to survive and reproduce.”
Previous research has suggested that men’s attraction to women’s buttocks may be linked to their perception of a woman’s fertility.
A larger buttock is thought to indicate a woman’s ability to store fat, which would have been an important survival trait for our ancestors.
But Dr Arnocky’s study suggests that there may be more to the story. The study found that men who rated themselves as having a strong attraction to women’s buttocks also scored higher on a measure of “behavioural inhibition,” a personality trait linked to sensitivity to new and complex stimuli.
Dr Arnocky suggests that men who are highly attracted to women’s buttocks may be more likely to explore new environments and try new things, which would have been an important survival trait for our ancestors.
It is important to note that attraction is a complex and multi-faceted phenomenon that is influenced by a variety of factors, including biology, culture, and personal experiences. While this study offers some insight into the potential evolutionary origins of men’s attraction to women’s buttocks, it is just one piece of the puzzle.
