Guys Give Each Other a Break on Weight (But Not Women)

When judged on attractiveness, men get a pass from other men about their weight, a new study finds. Men and women both judge other women as less attractive the fatter they are, scientists have found. "Maybe some people think beauty matters more for women than for men, but here, it's that this gender difference is more at the source," said study leader Sonia Oreffice, a professor of economics at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom.
