For Korean guys, it's all about the hips

Listen

Last month, a dating agency Ium asked a series of body-related questions to 3009 men and 2370 women in their twenties and thirties.

Young Korean men find the “waist-to-hip” line the most attractive part of a woman’s body, while women find a man’s shoulder the most appealing, a survey said.

When asked about “the sexiest part of a female/male’s body,” male respondents picked a female’s “waist-to-hip” line (35 percent) as the most attractive, followed by breasts and stomach (30 percent). Female respondents answered that men’s shoulders (26%) were the most attractive.

When asked about “the sexiest jobs,” women picked CEO (37%) first, showing a correlation between a man’s sex appeal and social mobility. On the other hand, men picked yoga instructor (65%) for females, putting an emphasis on a female’s physical features.
