How Old are these Students?

One of the chapters of our Academic English course textbook deals with research on sexual attraction and body types. Koreans have been infected with the usual amount of fashion magazine propoganda; their models are nearly as anorexic looking as western models and so on. What I found interesting, though, is that it appears that in this class of Freshmen the females overwhelmingly prefer a skinny guy to a muscular one. Or, and this is my more likely theory, the person doing the survey was a skinny guy, so more girls picked that drawing so as not to hurt his feelings.

Just a bit of clarification on the drawings; obviously they are two different sets, made by a group of females and males, respectively. The votes are made in the chinese style (adding hashmarks to a 'tree' until five marks makes the tree full- the completed character actually means 'correct') So the vote tallies, from the top, are:

Guys voting for female body types:

• Coca Cola bottle: 4
• Twiggy: 1
• Chubby: 1
  

Girls Voting for female body types:

• Cola bottle: none
• Twiggy: 4,
  
• Chubby: none

Girls voting for male body types:

• Muscular: 2
• Skinny: 6
• Chubby: 2

Something looks a little fishy with the numbers on that last one, so I suspect that the surveyers conflated the girl and guy votes on the male body types - a shame, since it was supposed to be a survey revealing differences of gender - but typical of how off-task an English class can become.
