Target under fire for swimsuit model photo that removes woman's crotch

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

There was actually a study done once. One group was shown images of very thin underwear models for 60 seconds, the other group was shown "plus size" underwear models for the same time period. After this was done each was shown a series of two images of two fully clothed women and asked to pick the one the found more attractive. It was found that the first group ended up with an ideal BMI that was quite underweight, while the second group's ideal BMI was still underweight but just on the edge of standard. And that's after just 60 seconds of exposure.
