Back in 1968, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published a study that investigated the relationship between a man’s personality and his preference for certain female body shapes.           
The study was conducted by Jerry S. Wiggins, Nancy Wiggins, and Judith Cohen Conger of the University of Illinois.     
      In the study, Wiggins and his colleagues recruited 95 male undergraduate college students from a psychology course. These students were shown a series of 105 pairs of nude female silhouettes and “required to indicate which of the two figures they preferred.”    
       The silhouettes were based on a standard figure, but all had variations in the size of their breasts, buttocks, and legs. “Each of the three dimensions could assume the value of the standard (0), or could be moderately large (+1), large (+2), moderately small (-1), or small (-2),” as Wiggins and his colleagues explained.      
     After rating the 105 pairs of silhouettes, the participants in the study were asked to return again in two weeks to participant in a second unrelated study. During this second study, the participants completed a number of questionnaires to assess their personality traits and life goals.   The purpose of the study, as Wiggins and his colleagues explain, was to test the common belief that the “preference for specific body parts is associated with personality and background characteristics,” noting that men often refer to themselves as “breast men” or “ass men.”  
 From their findings, it seems that a man who prefers big breasts is a gregarious “guy’s guy,” in which they recorded the following in their report.   “Also characterizing large-breast preference was a tendency to date frequently, to have masculine interests, and to read sports magazines. Further, large-breast preference was related to a need for heterosexual contact and for exhibitionism (saying witty things and being the center of attention). In social relations, men who preferred the large breasts tend to be non-nurturant and independent. This latter result gives support to Scodel’s (1957) finding of a lack of fantasy dependence among college men who preferred large-breasted figures. In the present study, preference for large breasts was positively correlated with smoking and negatively correlated with endurance (perseverance in work habits).” 
   On the other side, men who prefer small breasts are friendly and unpretentious. It seems they are the conservatives of the group.  “Those who preferred small breasts tend to hold fundamentalist religious beliefs and to be mildly depressed. In contrast to those who preferred large breasts, those who preferred small breasts are nurturant in their relations with others. They are not cynical about authority and come from large, nonworking-class families. They are lacking in achievement motivation and are indefinite about career plans. As a group, they tend to be engineering rather than business majors.”  
  Now onward to butts. From Wiggin’s study, men who like large butts are organized and orderly. However, they might be needy and negative.  “Preference for the very large buttocks was characterized by a need for order (neatness, organization, orderliness)… Those who preferred the largest buttocks figure tend to be business majors (accounting?) and tend not to be psychologically minded… In social situations, they are dependent and given to self-abasement (guilty, self-blaming). Their value orientation tends not to be stoic in nature.”    
Finally, Wiggins has concluded those who prefer small butts do not lower or humble themselves. They are persistent and don’t need anyone’s approval.  “Unlike those who preferred large buttocks, those who preferred small buttocks tend not to be self-abasing. They tend to persevere in the completion of their work and do not feel the need to be the center of attention. As a group they tend not to be education majors and their reading interests do not include sports magazines.”    
Though the study is unique and well-executed, it was done almost fifty years ago. With that in mind, to all you men who read this article, do the results Wiggins found through their scientific study show a direct correlation with your preferences and characteristics?
