embonpoint - noun - (ahn-bohn-PWAN) plumpness of person; stoutness
I found this quote on wikipedia, "The Western ideal considers a slim and slender body mass as optimal while many historic cultures consider an embonpoint or plump body-mass as appealing". The article went on to talk about how US women failed to recognize what men find attractive, believing a slimmer than average appearance was more attractive. In reality, most men found women of average build to be more attractive.

As I think you know, I have never found the modern anorexia-aspirant female attractive. (An erstwhile associate of ours is a nice girl, but she always reminded me of a blond Olive Oyl.)
