现在的女人都怕听到人家说自己胖，就算自己已经瘦成一把排骨，依然视脂肪如洪水猛兽。但是男人真的都喜欢骨感美人吗？调查发现，其实大多数男人都认为胖女人更适合做老婆，这就是fat wife strategy（胖妻心理）。

Fat wife strategy refers to men’s preference to marry a fat woman because they believe fat women can make better wives.

“胖妻心理”指的是男人更愿意娶胖女人做老婆，因为他们认为胖女人更适合做老婆。

According to some magazine's research, 70 percent of men think that plump women are more suitable to marry, as traditional thinking implies that they are better for bearing children and are more resilient to life’s hardships, while slim girls are considered more suitable for dating.

某杂志调查发现：70%的男人都觉得微胖的姑娘比较适合做老婆。传统观念认为胖女人更好生养，也经得起在生活里面摔打，而瘦瘦的姑娘比较适合谈恋爱。

American research confirms that sex life would be much better indeed if the woman could be a little plumper.

美国研究结果证实，女性丰满一些，的确会让性生活质量有明显提高。
