all men like different things apparently, some like the very slim type of woman, some like the curvy page 3 type, and some like the fuller figured types of women.
maybe the guy was in the first camp so to speak, As for shallowness I think that is something that mellows with age, the FHM top 10 women does not mean that that is the only type of women men go for. woman can be as shallow as men, I think younger men always pick a woman that makes them look good (makes their mates jealous)
I tend to like what I like, that has been.. small, tall, thin, fat, bald, hairy , they have all had that something about them I like :)
