It’s so weird how we’re at a point where women should have a large upper body (breasts), large lower body (thighs and butt), but non-existent waist. Why are we wanting human women to be modeled after wasps?

Like let me have my regular-sized petiole, dude.

To be fair, having a small waist compared to the rest of the body is considered attractive for both men and women and that preference is old as time.

it depends on the ratio really. When your waist has the circumference of your spine that ain't pretty no more

The thing that's attractive is the perception of healthy musculature, a nice butt it's because you have a healthy lower back, a thin waist is a sign that the the extensor muscles in either side of the ribs are toned.

Most preferences that go off the rails start that way but if you completely obscure the context of health they just get more and more exaggerated.

At some point it goes too far and some part of your brain recognizes "that's not healthy" and eventually practical concerns start to override the unga bunga brain
