Almost half of young women aged 18 to 25 would rather have larger
breasts than high intelligence and a third would readily swap IQ for
bigger boobs, a new study has revealed.
Experts have held responsible the youngsters' growing obsession with
celebrity culture and the burgeoning market for plastic surgery.
The study, which has shocked women's groups, also found that a quarter
of those surveyed felt bigger breasts would make them feel 'happier'.
And nearly 60% of the respondents believed that men would be 'more
interested' in them romantically if they had bigger breasts.
It comes in the midst of widespread concern about the pressures put on
modern-day women through advertising and magazines.
"Women face now unprecedented pressures to focus on their body," the
Daily Mail quoted Kat Banyard from women's group UK Feminista as
saying.
"Industries that focus on the way women look are flourishing - and
that means that from a very early age, women are taught that the way
they look matters more than what they do.
"The consequences of this can manifest in eating disorders or extreme
measures such as plastic surgery. These figures show that women still
loathe their bodies on an industrial scale."
The survey of 1,142 women by the discount website by
www.MyVoucherCodes.co.uk aimed at finding out more about the attitudes
young women hold towards brains and beauty.
In contrast with bigger breasts would attract more men, only 43%
thought that men would be 'more interested' in them if they had a
higher IQ.
Researchers also revealed that about 40% of the respondents would
prefer to have a 'slim figure' than high intelligence, with many
stating that it would make them feel 'more confident'.
Almost the same percentage of people asserted that they would swap
their IQ in order to be their 'ideal dress size'.
When it came to relationships, most women felt men 'valued'
intelligence in women, although two thirds said that they felt
appearance was more significant when attracting a partner.
The same was true in the workplace, with almost half believing that
being 'attractive' would also help a woman advance in her career.
Almost 80% also felt that they were judged more on their looks than
intelligence.

What's happening here hello???? Brain and beauty. Should go hand in
hand. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. So the most safe way to
evaluate beauty, is from the inside. A good heart. A caring person.
The one who will be with you in your times of ups and downs. Find the
person?
All the talks about beauty boil down to business sense, only. Baru
semalam aku ternampak Dato' Siti buat promo SimplySiti kat Plaza
Angsana. How did she look? Flawless complexion. Well, maybe she use
mineral water to wash her face everyday. Maybe she use high end make
up (do you think she really use SimplySiti products???) Oh come
on...........
Oh well, all women love beauty. All men love beauty. But not all men
or women love to be brainy. It's hard work to be brainy. It's nerdy
too.
