I just recently viewed a funny montage of why women are beautiful, and men are not so much. The montage first showed 6 beautiful nude women lying down on their front sides with towels around their heads at a spa.
The next shot was a picture from the back side of 3 obese men sitting shoulder to shoulder in a diner eating their packages with syrup. It was a funny and exaggerated representation of men and woman’s physiques but none the less the general consensus is that women are more vivacious then men.
