That's interesting, and it rings true. I never found very thin women particularly attractive. It didn't run contrary to only my own personal tastes either, but always struck me as a bit deviant from what biology would make us expect. I mean, we want women that look like they could withstand a pregnancy, right? That usually means some excess energy and good hip structure. The 'human hangers' look like either they couldn't be pregnant, or that it would kill them if they could.
For the past few years, I've been hearing that more women are giving birth via c-section, and that this is in large part due to biological necessity from their small hips. This could become a problem, if women who birth daughters via c-section wind up creating a line of women who in turn can only deliver via c-section. FWIW, most of the women I know who gave birth via c-section wound up not having any more kids after that.
I've also heard that women who are emotionally/physically stressed and forced to have lower body fat percentages see their fertility drop off a cliff. So I think you're right about these models not looking like they could withstand a pregnancy, assuming they could even get one.
