The ideal woman’s body. Does it exist? Scientifically, yes.
If that’s not surprising, wait till you see what said perfect body actually looks like. It’s nothing like what the fashion industry might have you thinking, that’s for sure.
Let’s Move in Together – 5 Tips for Couples Taking That Next Step.
Researchers at the University of Texas say the perfect female body measures 1.68 meters in height. The bust/weight/hip measurements are 99-63-91.
In case you don’t have the ability to automatically picture the female body types based on measurements, that looks like this.
That woman is Kelly Brook. She’s a 34-year-old model and actress from England.
Most people would refer to her as “plump.” That’s what talent scouts said when Brook first tried to break into the modeling world.
But, according to scientists, Brook’s all-natural body is perfect in terms of attractiveness.
8 Signs You Have A Strong Personality That Might Scare Some People.
And what makes attractiveness so important, you ask? Well, it signifies the most important trait a human can have, scientifically speaking – fertility.
After all, the primary function of individuals in any species is to support future generations – a full figure communicates one’s efficiency at doing just that through not only pregnancy but feeding as well.
Men are attracted to women whose facial and body characteristics – like Kelly Brook’s – are associated with youth and good health.
This attraction transcends culture. Studies have shown that even when two men come from entirely different backgrounds, they will likely be attracted to the same woman with more youthful, healthy characteristics.
So why all the skinny models, then?
Because they’re trying to sell clothes, not convey fertility.
That’s according to Jennifer Lee, who formerly worked for top designer Karl Lagerfeld, the head of Chanel.
The Secret Language of Narcissists: How Abusers Manipulate their Victims.
Fashion models are hired based on their ability to highlight the lines and structure of the clothing they wear. That’s why we see very few women in the industry who look like Kelly Brook.
But while thin supermodels might make a flowing dress look good on the runway, scientifically – as the study involving Kelly Brook has shown – most men would prefer a woman several times larger.
Being too skinny is an indicator of unhealthiness and can lead to a variety of problems. Being too large isn’t good either; finding a healthy balance is key.

..totally agree 🙂
Women with curves RULE!
Agree !!!
I absolutely love looking at curvy women. And I’m straight.
There is no perfection. What matters is being satisfied by the way you are. =)
Pasop net waar jy stilhou oral wagtende oe en hande op kwaad veilige plek lekker ontspanne
Healthy is what’s important…we are all shaped different…’perfect’ is a silly word…
No such animal as perfect all shapes and sizes women are beautiful all in their own ways.
Oh well…..
I don’t care. The perfect body is the person
Every woman has a perfect body to her husband 😉
My ex husband preferred four other women’s bodies. The fool, lol.
What I found really interesting in this article, is that they say they use skinny models because they are trying to sell clothes. If the average woman is not the size of a runway model, shouldn’t they make the clothes differently? I think clothing designers should consider all body types in their designs. Some things should flatter the tall slender types, because some people are shaped that way, but a lot of women have wide hips or larger breasts, so even being “skinny” (or just healthy) they are made to feel like they can’t wear the popular designs. Just make a damn t shirt that can fit her chest in it without buying an xxxxxxxxl. Please.
Oh, geez. In the US we measure in inches. I nearly fell over when I saw 99-63-91. She’d be a giant.
Becka evolution says you’re perfect
Catherine Maniford, belive me he ain’t wise. if a man prefer the carcass than the core, then no doubt he is foul!
They’re all perfect.
The body does not matter! The love does!
we all have different idea of perfect

My calendar beut!
This must be before kids and liposuction
The perfect female body is the body-size you decide is perfect for you and feel comfortable, happy and healthy with.
Bah, where’s the backfat?
Because they don’t think it’s art
This has nothing to do with the truth inside you.
photoshopped maybe?

Now you know who that gawj girl in the hallway is
She definitely look healthy, more so than most catwalk models that can almost look sick because they’re so thin. Does she look more healthy than a fitness model model? I don’t think so.i think she would look even more healthy with a more tuned body
A very confused commentary. Isn’t it the case that women (and men, for that matter) are constantly pulled between “looking themselves” and assimilating themselves to the latest “look?”
Why are we focussing on women having perfect bodies!! This is just another way of doing that. Ugh!
I co.mpletely agree. Why do we have yet another article focussing on women having perfect bodies! Ugh
ideal body for a woman is what ever she wants her body to look like- GTFO it!
you *** the ugly ones then.
??? You just turned women into a walking fertility blobs… So those women that can not have children, do not have pretty face like her and have different proportions than this woman are abnormal ugly TRASH?! Sorry I grew taller and prefer eating mostly veggies and fruits – could never get that size in my life because it is NOT my nature and I am not that body type… Will go shoot myself right now. Seriously DUMB article.

Naqra barma hmmmm!
This is such bs! The ‘perfect’ female body, is the one each female feels comfortable with, regardless of the shallow opinions of society!!!
Ellena gd why judge God creation n mk other feel inferior
It is of course crap as the perfect body is what makes one happy. However despite this evidence that people like curves, the fashion industry and media persist in pushing skinny and skinnier as “ideal”.
Japanese rain goggles.
Lol , don’t think so
It depends on on individual’s choice what type they like
It is all about proportion. Science is about numbers defining aesthetics, which is just another way of saying mating potential.

it looks like whatever you f*cking want it to-
not to me. My Donna has the best body. HUBBA HUBBA
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No need for science to see someone as beautiful. Perfection is not a “constant”.
Science is basing their studies in the perfection of shape, the perfect woman’s shape would be impossible if her father is not also a perfect match… and it would be so boring.. everybody looking “perfect” regarding what is perfect for your likings..
I thinks she has a beautiful body.. I looked like that once upon a time..and was extremely happy.. now not at all wish I could turn back time
10+
All these comments just confirms my thinking, that beauty is on the eye of the beholder. Healthy is what matters. Take care of yourself, eat balanced meals, and exercise frequently. The rest doesn’t matter as much.
I guess all our wives had this hevenly perfection many years ago.but good things are never foever including this lady in the picture.
Trump calls this “Fat!”
Noooooooo it is not
No
Beautiful:)
She has a beautiful body. .
Seriously ! I highly doubt that
There is no PERFECT or ideal female body !!!
Every body is different!!!
Every female body is unique!!!
The concept of a perfect body has been passed to us from Ancient Greece.
But even they found it impossible to find this in real humans.
When they used male models for their statues, they would use parts of each models body. You know the perfect leg from him, the perfect torso from him and combine the bits, to create the illusion of perfection.
The concept of perfection is bull….!!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Everyone has a different opinion of what that “perfect” woman would look like and I respect theirs.
I don’t know if this was done by polling people, but to me, she’s a bit top heavy. So, my vote would have been different than this result.
We are all perfect just the way we are
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It comes from within.
Tell that to the psychopaths, rapists, child molesters and their victims.
Truth according to click-bait
Yea At what age and what life style
What???
Kelly Brook is beautiful but I am always suspicious when it comes to so-called scientific studies trying to disclosure love, attractiveness… I do not believe each guy on Earth could like her kind of body, in the same fashion there is no scientific recipe for making an art masterpiece.
Scientifically trying to define love and attraction is like putting on a dress shirt and trying to button it from the back. (You struggle, then realise your doing it wrong)
The ideal body surely looks like my own body, I’d not be here if I didn’t have it
Too thick…..
To me, Marilyn Monroe had the perfect body..but thats my opinion.
Ratios / proportions / near-perfect bi-lateral symmetry.
The most important part of a woman is between her ears.
Really? When?
Dang it I was caught.
There is an old phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” and I think it is so right.
Science is wrong !
A different size from the front to the back?
Science looks RIGHT to me
Sensible response. Advert actors are usually hired for a shoot because of a particular physical attribute – not a whole body shot.
Movies actors are the same.
We’re not a perfect species that fits the caricature of the liquid marketing fashion industry – we’re better then that.
What makes a woman beautiful is not just looks – try looking at two photo’s of women. One clothed and smiling – one naked and not, then swap them around – then add personality to the mix.
Pretty sure it has to do with personal preference, nothing to do with science
I’d like to see the body of the ideal male.
Every Body is perfect. Most important is what YOU think & not the other way around!
Beautiful
no it doesnt exist
So what does it do better than every other female body?
5″ 6″ Tall 39″ x 25″ x 36″. She looks great and is what I would consider attractive, but I also think that other sizes are attractive as well. Beauty and attractiveness are external and internal, are a combined score. Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly is to the bone.
This is what the world says .What does God say ?.
Looks good to me ♡
Yes with significant curves and meat to grab on to. This is what I’ve been told.
Oh shame, I am too tall and too slim…
Yes culture that you live in also plays a part
Lol
Forget the perfect body I want a perfect soul with the mind to go with it.
Any takers? Text me, any time
Troll
Me too
Wonder if anyone has asked him/ her?
What’s the ideal men’s body? This has mugging to do with science.
How on earth is she trolling saying this? She’s simply agreeing with the article.
Beauty is subjective, but science is really shallow.
Beauty is totally subjective. What are the grounds for the basis of perfection?
She looks good – healthy and not too thin or over weight – she looks like she could do whatever she needs to in order to take care of herself. SHE LOOKS CONFIDENT, STRONG AND POWERFUL!
The problem with this post is somewhere, there are innumerable young girls, women who already have difficulty finding acceptance among their peer group. No, you can’t shield them from articles like this, but you can present a flip side!
She looks…..and looks aren’t necessarily what the person is.
I’m one of her legs……I should shoot myself then…..
Can i borrow your gun when you’re done?
Not so
Yes, but for whom
Your attractiveness just went down with that comment
Thanks, but it’s a Louis CK bit. Cheers.
This is mostly true, and the eye is attracted to round shapes, but health and wealth also play a factor. It is dependent on culture, but there is a ratio that underlies most of it. The reason models are usually so skinny is twofold. First they do not want anything distracting away from the clothing, and 2, the camera adds weight. So for the clothing to look like it fits on a camera, it is easier to use someone who is tall and skinny.
There’s no way that Kelly Brook’s measurements are 99-63-91! Her body’s shape has proportions like in that measurements, but it’s more likely (at least) 109-73-101.
are we shocked that models are skinny things that make gay men happy – they dress them to be as their idea boy lover not as women men love
I tried to model at 15 and was told that I would need to lose weight. It took me another 11 years ( and several handsome boyfriends lol ) to finally see myself in a positive way. Now, 15 year old Leslie would have no problem modeling. My figure back then would be just right now. I am so happy for my beautifui daughter, who “get it from her momma” , isn’t shamed for her lovely curves.
