Do boys really prefer curvy girls or do they just say that so they don't sound like meatheads in surveys?
Like that man says in that song, he likes big butts and he cannot lie.
Do you doubt his integrity? No, he is telling the truth. He likes a bit of curve, and he's not alone. No doubt there's another song by a different man who likes small butts. Lots of boys do, it's a matter of taste. But you can safely assume that most boys prefer a girl with some shape to a twig in a dress.
As for the survey bit, no boy would worry about looking like a meathead. I'd happily tell a survey I eat people's meatheads. No one will ever know it was me, so what do I care? This is why surveys are stupid and should never be trusted. They'll claim anything, from Robbie Williams being better than Led Zeppelin to sharks being better drivers than men. If you believed everything you read in surveys, your head would literally fall off (true: happened to my mate). So be careful.
For the record my survey says 42% of boys prefer curvy figures, 38% prefer slimmer ones, 9% will take anything and so on. All true. Basically, we aren't as fussy about girls' bodies as they are about their own. It's a common misconception that we only like skinny girls, so reach for crisps as long as you share them with us.
Please remember: Kev is not an expert, he is just a boy and sometimes quite a silly boy. The main thing to remember when it comes to lads and relationships is to expect respect as the absolute minimum. Find out more about a Women's Aid campaign of the same name.
