Girls have the misconception that if they were underweight they would be more attractive. But a recent study suggests that zero size ladies are not more attractive than normal body weight girls.

The finding sends a strong message to all girls out there who believe that being underweight is attractive.

Professor David Perrett, who supervised the research, said: “In our study, people in the normal weight range were judged healthier and more attractive than under or overweight individuals.

84 female students were asked a variety of questions on their health, took their blood pressure and photographed them. Then, the images were shown to group of students to rate the girls in terms of their health, body, and attractiveness.

Women in the normal weight range were judged healthier and more attractive than under or overweight individuals.
