What's wrong with long legs? They are a survival advantage in the DNA stakes and men are attracted the mates with them...they can run away from preditors and other males.

Add to that a generous proportion of mammary endowment to help suckle young, and remind men of whats between your buttocks, a gynaecoid pelvis (36,24,36 shape in the old money) and presto...the testosterone is flowing.

Now add a Scandanavian mongoloid face with high cheakbones, a normal dental occlusion (no malocclusion) and healthy teeth to chew seal hides for clothes....adds to the allure. Clean, healthy skin and shiny oestrogenic hair with no parasites, no facial hirsutism (hairiness) to indicate Stein-Leventhal syndrome which is associate with infertility and polycystic ovaries....are we getting hot baby...pour the Moet et Chandon and light the candles..

Now, IQ is another matter. As long as our leggy baby has enough neurones to have sex and light a fire, we are OK. We don't want any woman brighter than ourselves...and women like smart, witty men who are good at trapping and killing mammoths and painting the cave wall on boring nights in winter when the TV reception is poor, the ratings are finished and the gloss of sex has worn off.

P.S. The commonest cause of a failure of male-female relationships is difference in IQ but as long as we have reproduced before we realise that, Mother Nature is happy. The lure has worked.

Epilogue: This is what it's all about and don't kid ourselves it's not. Dark skinned Latin women who dance the Samba add zest to the forbidden fruit. I'll go off and dream of Penelope Cruise now.

Odysseus, you forgot 'submissive' after all we don't want our healthy leggy chick to get ideas above her station now do we?

Try divorcing her especially if reproduction has occurred and she hasn't worked outside your domestic bliss. No guessing who'll come out on top and who will know her station in life. Probably an 80:20 cut of the pie and she gets the house. You'll probably be sleeping in a station and supporting her for 20 years as well as the kids.

Odysseus, so you married a dumb leggy bimbo - and you blame her for your troubles. Takes two you know.
;-)

No. She was a brunette.

Bimbos can be any shade, mate. Maybe you should try for intelligence as well as beauty next time round.
