    Body fat percentage is really nothing to consider without some sort of muscular foundation with it. The lower body fat percentages shown here happen to have guys with great muscle.

    A picture, showing 1 guy at varying body fat stages while maintaining the same lean body mass would be a better comparison.

    Exactly.... the pictures look SOOOO much better than I do at the same bf%.

    Except for the super-low-fat ones. Those are just gross.

    Actually - too late. The body shaming already started!

    Whoops!

    Sorry, should have added, "in my opinion."

    No, you should have added that they are not your preference. There is no difference between saying 'those are gross' and 'in my opinion those are gross'

    Oh, sorry for saying it wrong. It never occurred to me that the word preference would be less offensive than the word opinion.

    Its the word gross that its the problem here not preference v opinion

    So I shouldn't say, "My preference is men who aren't gross?" :laugh:

    OK, I give up, Sara. You win. I will no longer offer my opinion about what I think is sexy. I'm happily married anyway, so my opinion on men is pretty irrelevant anyway. (Note to self. Stay out of chit-chat forums on those "rate the poster" threads.)

    Dear me, can you not see that calling a particular body image gross is body shaming?

    3-4% is VASCULAR THAN A M***********

    I wish there were a good example of these for women. :(

    Interesting. I just asked my boyfriend where he thought I was at.
    He told me I'm the 15-17% one. I told him I disagree and that I think im a 25%.
    He looked highly annoyed and said that, if anything, Im the 20-22 but that even that is stretching it.

    That tells you something about self-perception, does it not? And the perception of others. Who's to say who is right and who is wrong? =)

    I like 25% for both men and women. I love 25% for men, I love a little bit of chub and a babyface. Sigh.

    I wonder if there is a comparison of females at 10-12% with a less muscular version. Would help with my goals.

    This shows the comparison for women at 15% with more and less muscles mass (as well as pics for various other female percentages). http://www.blogilates.com/best-of/5427378002

    I didn't look through all the comments, so maybe someone already shared this.

    Not 10-12% but this might help.

    According to an electronic body stat test I had done at the gym the lowest I have ever been is 7% although looking at the photo I would probably say I was closer to 10%.

    I imagine I am around 12% at the moment and will drop to 9% by summer time

    The woman's one is interesting- I am at about 36% body fat (it's been a while since I had it done) but I look like the 45% one. Maybe because I'm really short? Or maybe the body fat test is wrong, which would be depressing!

    Nice to hear how horribly strict you gals are. Kind of sucks for us guys that are never going to be able to hit 10%.

    I've seen you post up things like this before. You always sound so bitter.

    Just because a few women on here like a certain picture, does not mean that no woman in the world is ever going to find you attractive,

    On the other hand, if you want to look like that, work for it and stop moaning.

    Oh boo hoo, not every woman on the planet is going to find you attractive at any given point of time.

    Women should be more flexible with their standards. Any woman who can stand a guy who doesn't have a perfect body is just a *****.

    As far as I can tell, more people rule out future mates based on attitude/personality than strictly appearance. Something for you to think about.

    I think women are generally much more flexible in real life - just like guys are. For instance, a lot of people are really hard on celebrities - picking on their every fault, etc, but in real life, you are just not that hard on people and their physiques. Charm, strength of character, etc, go a LONG way.

    Totally agree to the attitude/ personality!
    I said, that I like the 15% guy but looking at my husband he is more like a 25%, but hey I married him for him, not because I want a postermodel around!

    Thanks. Im 5'10" Different BF% on basically the same lean body mass and frame might be helpful to some. Wish I had more accurate BF measurements though.

    I typically find the 15%-20% to be the best looking but the 10% shown on the left here is nice. :blushing:
