A high ratio simply indicates lots of fat being stored around the waist. A better indication of masculine form would be the V taper, i.e. chest to waist ratio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-70944949769111538352010-05-29T22:18:43.272-07:002010-05-29T22:18:43.272-07:00It would be interesting to know if birth weight fo...It would be interesting to know if birth weight for boys who wound up being gay differs from those who wound up being straight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-89915504845430838642010-05-29T11:19:40.088-07:002010-05-29T11:19:40.088-07:00Mean BMI 27!!!! the MEAN!!!

It depends on whether you see masculinity on an absolute scale as "distance from feminine" or as an ideal from the feminine perspective.Jokah Macphersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185675633464395897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-86359004937304295532010-05-29T09:56:03.694-07:002010-05-29T09:56:03.694-07:00Although the sample sizes are small, this is about...Although the sample sizes are small, this is about what I would have expected. WHR is affected by one's body shape and where one stores accumulated fat, but it is also affected by how much fat is actually being stored. Since gay men are trying to attract other men, they have an incentive to stay in shape, whereas women care somewhat less about such matters so lesbians have less incentive than their counterparts. I'm pretty sure most or all of the difference is explained by behavior and not by body type.Jokah Macphersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185675633464395897noreply@blogger.com
