  1. There really is something in the way she moves, according to researchers.

    An hourglass figure has long been perceived to be the ideal figure for a woman to have.

     

    But New York University researchers have found that to be found attractive, a woman had to move in a feminine way - swaying her hips.

     

    Men, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper found, were more attractive if they moved with a "shoulder swagger".

     

    The waist-hip ratio has long been thought to be key to Western perceptions of attractiveness, with a small waist and bigger hips the ideal combination.

     

    Marilyn Monroe, and now Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez are famous examples of women with that figure.

     

    Its popularity may be down to media images, or because Western women do not need to have strong and muscular bodies in order to carry out manual labour, unlike women in developing countries.

     

    But the US research, which was also published in the journal Psychological Science, suggests they would never have achieved their sex symbol status if they did not move in the right way.

  2. A sexy swing of the hips may attract admiring glances, but it is not a covert sign a woman is ready to breed, according to researchers.

    A Queen's University, Ontario, team examined volunteers' walks and the levels of sex hormones in their saliva.

     

    They found those with alluring walks were the furthest away from ovulation.

     

    A British expert said the research, featured by New Scientist magazine, supported the idea women disguise their fertility to deter unsuitable partners.

  3. Would i ever be able to say I was a kokumin (being a non-Japanese), even if I lived here all my life and had permenant status? Just a bit unsure as to what it means. After all, they want me to pay the "kokumin nenkin" don't they?

  4. The same has happened to me, it's very annoying isn't it. Seems to take ages to get rid of the things and they are for things I have absolutely no interest in or have not visited.

     

    There must be some sort of get out when you order must really look at that form more closely next time.
