 The effects of modifying weight were most pronounced for women, where for example a woman of BMI 25 would be expected to receive 90% more first-contact messages if she attained a BMI of 17 instead. Similarly powerful outcome modifying effects based on weight were not possible for men.
-Caveats for this data would be that they were unable to get clear data on outcomes for men BMI <18 likely due to low sample of men at this low a weight, range of variation for outcomes in men became quite large above BMI 32-34 (perhaps because this range would include both aggressive bodybuilders and severely obese men), and although this data was part of their original 2006 analysis, they chose not to include it in their final publication later in 2010.
 Other studies however have shown similar outcomes. One study assessing the most attractive female BMI involved showing people 21 pictures of women of varying mass, and asking them to order them in attractiveness. Both men and women rated these women's pictures the same way, and both genders suggested the very thinnest women provided at a BMI of 19 were most attractive. Raters suggested they felt the thinnest pictures were also the most youthful looking. Further modeling from this data to incorporate age biases suggested the ideal female BMI would be therefore somewhere between 17-20, as it would correspond to the average BMI of a young 18-20 year old with maximal fertility and minimal risk of future disease.
