Yeah- I agree - but it was the first link I found. I had read more reliable information saying something similar (although not the extreme numbers they came up with if I recall correctly).

I have another conjecture based on my anecdotal experience: women get skinny to compete against other women and it is other women that actually care about extreme skinniness. Many men don’t seem to care that much for extreme skinniness and many other men often like more voluptuousness for their pornographic ideals. I would reference an article that seems to back up this idea, but the article was even more rubbishy than the link above!
