Too bad the reason anorexic women make up the overwhelming majority of the fashion world is because of women. Men have always asserted that a healthy curvy figure (but not flabby) is the most desirable form. The reason thin is the staple is because super skinny is what women find attractive.
As a guy, I admit, if you are unsure what your ideal weight should be as far as attractiveness to men goes, it's best to be on the skinny side, than the fat side of things, but that's because men naturally want a woman who is more petite that he is.
Another obvious point is, man's overwhelming desire to mate is to reproduce with a physical specimen physical. A female's overwhelming desire to mate is to find a loving caregiver.
In essence, what the male is attracted to is less complicated, than what a female is attracted to.
