The Ultimate Guide to Finding The Six Types of Female Body Shapes There are many different types of body shapes, and they all have different things to offer.

The hourglass shape is defined by a narrow waist and broad hips. The pear shape has a slightly rounded stomach and small breasts with an average-sized butt. The triangle shape has a long torso but with an average or small butt. The inverted triangle shape also has an average or small butt but with a long torso.

The inverted pear shape has an elongated waist and slender torso while having wide hips, large breasts, and a small butt. What is the Ideal Female Body Shape? Is this the same way every day? Do you feel good in clothes that fit well? How many outfits can you wear with this body type before it starts getting too small?

Are your thighs the same size all over or do they vary from hip to hip, due to muscle mass or bone structure? Are your hips wide or narrow? Do they stick out more than your waist? Are they squared off or rounded off at the top? Are your shoulders wider than your hips and legs are long?

Are they narrower than your hips and legs are short? Tips for Finding Your Ideal Size Your ideal size is entirely dependent on what your personal preference is and how your anatomy works together.

How To Get The Perfect Body With Minimal Effort. Do You Have A Sedentary Lifestyle? What Is The Perfect Body? Start by answering the following: How do you want to feel in your body? How would you like to feel about yourself, including your appearance? What skills would you like to learn?

The "perfect body" is one that's built for purpose. Filling our lives with meaning and living in alignment with our values makes us attractive.

That is somewhat true, but different ethnic groups seem to prefer different standards. Like The Black man and woman prefer, in general, a fuller, more voluptuous figure. Where as most white women are still very brainwashed into thinking they MUST look anorexic or as thin as possible.

I have noticed that white men seem to prefer the barbie body or the skinny-model look. Of course I am generalizing here but I have noticed this. The advertising industry is doing so much harm with the unattainable goals they portray as THE standard for beauty, especially when the photo shopping drastically slims down an already underweight figure.

Now that is madness! Just shows how gullable some women are. Develop a more self centered ego and tell the fashion clowns where to shove their twisted images.

Stop smoking and one is winning. Stop drinking alcohol and one is a winner too. Stop eating and another abyss is opening. Please explain your logic. They would, then, have the correct information as to the expectations of the region which they inhabit. Well I dont know for the rest of the countries, but at least the Spain one is just completely wrong.

Wrong in the meaning women in Spain are expected to be thin, with big bust and a slim figure, just like the Italy one. The Spain image is wrong, IMO. when I spent time in Spain, I marveled at the consistent image of the women.

They were PETITE, SLIM and rather ATHLETIC, without huge breasts and they wore the nicest, slim pants that totally showed off their elegance. This is awesome. Amazing exercise in how we see idealism and whats expected of us as women to achive. However, it would be interesting to have a side by side on these.

These were all done by women, but it would be interesting to see the same exercise done by men. Almost universally, women see the ideal female as slimmer than what is normal for their culture, while men prefer voluptutous females with well defined breasts and butts.

The further back in the past you search, trends seem to favor full figured females and men. Look at medieval art, no emaciated people are seen in them.

Yes, definitely. Also, even slender women are naturally a little more pear-shaped or softer -lined than women believe they ought to be today. It was generally only rich people who could afford portraits, so all the art is of bigger women.

Nowadays, when food is so easily accessible in abundance, restraint is more attractive. We know for a fact now that being overweight can cause things like diabetes and heart failure among many other things and this can be unattractive for obvious reasons.

People are more attracted to wealth than anything else, and that will probably never change, but the typical characteristics of wealthy people will change depending on cultural context, which is why sometimes people like overweight people and sometimes they like thin people.

Looking at these I see one thing — only Italy believes in skinny. Then why girls around the world starve to look like that while in their countries curvier women are preferred. And why should I do that, is it bad to be skinny? Everyone says to be happy with who you are, and they just say that to curvy girls.

And how is that fair? Because it sucks to be skinny. anorexia is a mental illness, not a BMI. not necessarily. The stigma that surrounds eating disorders is part of the problem. You never know how bad it is just by looking at their body. If one is refraining from smoking and consumption of alcohol, good health will be the reward.

Refraining from food consumption as urged from the anti-obese lobby, does not result in an automatic stop, but is the entry to anorexia. Furthermore once the brain is underfed, a mental coma does set in, trapping the victim in an environment requiring a tough struggle to escape.

Most important, patient should not be condemned and ruled, but educated and helped, possibly even to such a degree of governments intervening with restrictions on some food items. We have reached a stage in human development where the individual has lost the ability to stand up for themselves and be respected, but being bullied by mass standards and peer pressures instead of expressing their own individuality.

I am talking about anorexia. It would be stupid and ignorant, and same goes for this. Thanks for your clarification. Bit strange. I think I hope! I give up. Shortcuts, tsk tsk. What happened to playing by the rules?

No wonder Italy is fading away with a receding birth rate. anyone notice that Serbia just happens to have to most natural looking one…interesting…just my opinion though…also..

i work for chinese people, and that is not what they look like…i mean they are thin, but not that.. terrible photoshop, but it gets the point across anyway.

The Mexican ideal is on point. Nicely done. I also enjoyed seeing which ones changed facial features. Italy just cropped her head onto a models body. Over all bad job, this is coming from an Italian Graphic designer also. Totally agree. A lot of Asian woman are very petite and generally slim but in proportion with their height etc.

I wish people would realize that not all women struggle to lose weight, some are just born that way. Where are the blondes? The only change in the hair color was on the Netherlands and Italy — almost all of the others have some form of darker hair.

I think that you are wrong there. British Columbia… yes, District of Columbia… fine, but those are different countries. Beside all that, the point of all of these comments was not to show whether or not it is okay for people to use their native language when pronouncing your country.

The point is that this is the type of thing that an editor is supposed to know and catch prior to it being published. For some women, the curvier body is unattainable.

Body shapes are genetic. Ideal beauty is cultural. This article had a tone that seems popular lately: Put down thinner body times in order to elevate curvier ones. Only one is quite goodlooking in my opinion. Terrible job with photoshop.

More like a horny 15 year old. The U. one is basically Kim Kardashian, not exactly a current fashion model; more like a select porn actress for people who like huge butts. That might explain it; closer to Lara Croft. So very true!! It seems as though the new generation of journalists has lower expectations to uphold, thus producing inferior quality pieces of work.
