Who would you prefer to look like? Body Fat Percentages

I would like 18%
Buuuut then again Ive started to notice how little the perfect body weight means to me and how much more accepting my body regardless of genetics is VIP.. I will accept my body regardless of the shape it takes onces Ive cut the extra weight. ( and even now that image means nothing cause Im a real life human being with a body of my own and that body sure does feel good!! )0 -
25% Bf women are perfect for me0

I'm also questioning the accuracy of the pics a bit. According to my scale (and yes, the scales are *also* notoriously inaccurate) I'm at about 28% BF in this pic. I'm not sure if it's just that I have more muscle (I do lift) or actually have less fat than the lady in the 25% photo, but it just seems off to me....

Would love to be the 18-20 but have a lot of work to get there..... Hoping MFP can help me get it sorted out!0

I'd love either the 18 or 20, and am currently around the 300
-
I'd like to get around 10-12% and I'd say I'm probably around 20 % right now. But that's just a guess lol0

I look closer to the 25% woman now, but would prefer something between that and 20%. 18% woman is great, but not something I'm shooting for.
The 20% man looks softer than I'd expect for someone with that bf. Other pictures of men with 20% bf show men with more muscle definition.

180

Wish one of the female representations had been a runner. I think 15 - 18% looks very nice and that is my goal but I certainly don't want to carry all that muscular bulk. I like the lean, crisp of a distance runner but their upper bodies tend to be quite small.0

These pics don't add up to me... but I'd like to be 18/20 :ohwell:0

Somewhere between 15-18 in the pics...0

I'm not sure these representations are accurate. That 25% for women looks awfully heavy to me.
I think it might be the outfit!0 -

It's not just the outfit. I also seriously question the 25% picture.0 -
Between 15%-20%.....18% is just gorgeous to me!!!0

Somewhere in the 18-20% area definitely. If I could hit 20% then I would throw a party in my head.0

20% but with much bigger muscles.0
-
I'm currently hovering at about 25% (down from 36%).
I've recently become a weight lifting addict and enjoying watching my muscles grow. I love how strong I feel (and am starting to look).
I'd love the 15% look BUT at 45 years old, I'm pretty sure that's unachievable.
This is the first time in my life I've had muscles though so... who knows
Age is not a barrier!!

The 25% picture is comparable to how I looked closer to 30% or a tad more. I mean, how you carry your weight is going to affect how you look but, yeah, I don't think the picture is accurate.0 -

Yea, body shape and proportions are an issue, but I'm leaner than that woman and measure at higher than 25% BF. I'm just not buying it...0 -
i am aiming for 18%BF as of right now im at 21% down from 30% before a started heavy lifting. obviously you cant pin a pic to a % and say thats what you will look like but as of now i think i have more muscle tone than the 20%...also with the large amount of weight i lost its hard to say what kind of muscle is under the bit of extra skin i have...so we will see!0
