It had been (falsely) thought that women's curves are a honest signal of health, fertility, and, lastly "good genes". But this changes the playing field, confirming men don't go for good genes, but for nubility. That leads to a different outcome.

Nubility is from the French word Nupitals, which means to marry. Societies marrying young men and women together for a lifetime of raising children would probably portray newly fertile male and female forms as the cultural norm.
