It is customary to say that beauty criteria evolve over time. Indeed, we can easily see that the image of the ideal woman is different from one century to the next. Between the luscious forms and the meagreness displayed in the field of fashion, it seems that there are ideal measurements according to science and that a woman holds them, as relays The Sun.
Body shaming, grossophobia ... More and more people are suffering from their image and especially the criticism they receive. Indeed, the rise of social media has untied the languages of some and put forward images of fine women, muscular, generous buttocks and especially, without imperfections. The results ? More complex for the common man. However, science reassures us and reveals that the measurements of the ideal woman are closer to reality. Explanations.
The ideal woman according to science
According to a scientific article, written by Devendra Singh of the University of Texas and relayed by The Sun and Evie magazine, the criteria of beauty would not depend on the time but rather the perception we have of health and the fertility of the woman in front of us. This attraction would be possible depending on the person's chest and waist and hips.
Thus, it would appear that the ideal woman's bust, waist and hips would be respectively 99-63-91 for about 1.68 m. But concretely, what does this woman look like? Kelly Brook, an English model and actress. She would have a harmonious body and be the perfect woman morphologically.
Several other scientific studies, however, have shown some differences about the ideal body. According to another scientific study, relayed by Today, the image of the perfect body diverges from that discovered above.
The researchers asked 40 men and 40 women to illustrate the body they considered ideal in their category and then the results were compared to the morphology of the participants. It has been found that women and men agree on the perfect measurements for each gender. Indeed, the results suggest similar preferences in terms of body mass index (BMI) and ratio between waist and hips and between waist and upper body.
On each 3D image, the perfect body is on the left. On the right, this is a normal person according to BMI.
We find that the ideal female body has a smaller waist and thinner hips. The researchers also found that the preferences were heading towards a larger chest and less bulging buttocks.
Concerning the male ideal, this one is illustrated by a morphology in V or inverted pyramid. The shoulders are wider than the hips and so the waist looks thinner.
The study also highlights the fact that, male or female, we tend to exaggerate a physical characteristic that we consider more important. Yet, as the director of the company in charge of producing 3D images for Today, Nickolay Lamm, explains, the ideal bodies and the normal bodies are all beautiful. According to him, our vision of perfect appearance would be biased by the media.
The perfect measurements of a woman
It is common to say that 90-60-90 are the best measurements. However, the reality is very different because women make on average 93-75-100 of bust, waist and hips, as revealed by a recent survey.
Measurements that are a little closer to those of Kelly Brook but are mostly synonymous with good health because the BMI of a woman of this size would be 23.3, a figure associated with the category of normal weight.
Finally, the female ideal depends on everyone. The beauty and power of seduction is not limited to the appearance but also the interaction and connection we create with each other.
