1.) Has there been studies of why a heterosexual man is attracted to females. Or is that just 'as it should be'?
when you stray from the norm you get interesting to pick apart and at. 
But why isn't it equally interesting to lets say for the sake of it, study why a man would like a skinny woman. 

2.) I think it is more interesting to discuss why we have the ideal that 'this is the way it is supposed to be' other then try to ask 'what causes someone to not do as they are ment to' if you get what I'm saying.

3.) The question "what causes homosexuality" makes it sound like it is a disese to some extent, dont you think? :)

1.) As for why men are attracted to women, there's been a lot of studies on that. For example, things like wide hips, rounder breasts, etc suggest that a woman is fertile, which makes her attractive. However, there aren't yet any definitive explanations for homosexuality.

2.) That's more of a sociological question imo, and I'm not really interested in asking that. But there's nothing stopping you from asking that if you're interested in it.

3.) I don't think so. If you're like a lot of psychologists, then there's a cause for every human behavior or mental process. So when something new or unique happens, naturally you're going to be interested in that cause. There's no reason to think of it as a disease or disorder. Just think of it as any human behavior.
