Perfect Female Body Measurements
Every woman is born with a particular body type, shape, and hence a peculiar measurement. Some are small and bulky, still they look pretty. Others are medium in height and petite, yet they look gorgeous. There are those who are tall and skinny but are perceived beautiful by many. All such women are liked by one or the other. Therefore, it is actually difficult to give accurate measurements of an ideal female body. According to many fashion and beauty experts and body measurement charts available in various health and fitness websites and journals, women with a 36 inch broad bust, 26 inch broad waist and 36 inch broad hips look gorgeous in almost every outfit. Thus, you can take 36"- 26"- 36" as the ideal body measurement for women.
Thought this was interesing!! You can put two woman side by side and they are the same height and weight and you would never believe it. Our bodies are just so different. Made me more aware that your weight truly is just one small part of it. So I was taking a new approach and shooting for measurements not weight. But is there a perfect measurement???

I couldn't give a perfect measurement since so many women are hot in so many ways... I'm partial to an hourglass shape, though.0

There is no perfect measurment, to ask this question is to have a mental disorder.0
-
hmm I think that any woman should strive to be healthy over shape0
-
The best measure for a woman is the way she feels when encircled in my arms. You can't really put a number on that though. Perfection is feeling safe, warm, wanted, and cared about when holding her and it's as simple as that.0

There is waist to hip ratio (not specific measurements) found universally attractive.0

Being a King I prefer a woman that has curves!!!0

Hmm cool! mine are 35.5/29/41
this gives me a good goal! My biggest thing is slimming my hips/thighs/calves.
Thanks for posting this!0 -

thinking someone has a mental disorder for asking this question is what is interesting to me. such a weird statement to make.0 -
I think it's silly to try and squish women into a mold. There are beautiful bodies in all shapes. Men from my experience just want a healthy happy woman. Yes there are personal preferences but that's why we have variety.
The new trend seems to be that in order to elevate one body type we must disparage another. Particularly the 'real women have curves' crowd. I'm an hourglass...I was a size 14 hourglass, now I'm a size 2 smaller hourglass. My loss of body fat didn't make my vagina disappear.
Whatever you are...love it, embrace it! Confidence is ultimately the most beautiful asset a woman can have.0 -
I simply thought it was something interesting to think about! I am sure I am not the only one who has wondered. LOL0

Those are my measurements. :P And I can tell you I don't look "perfect" in every style of clothing :P0

What I like to think about is where the attraction to a woman's shape came from for men. It's obvious once you think about it but almost nobody thinks about it, they just respond to it. Here's my theory:
1. Male attraction to ample breasts is driven by a deep evolutionary proclivity to picking someone who will feed your baby well so it survives and so the gene for choosing ample breasts is passed on.
2. Ditto for the hourglass shape which accentuates wider hips for ease of childbirth. Pick an hourglass shape and your child has a greater chance of being born alive.
Of course, all of this is pre-programmed into male DNA over hundreds of thousands of years and the poor saps (including me) have no choice in the matter. That is unless the Barbie doll is a real idiot and then SOME of us are totally turned off (including me).0 -

36-30-38 RIGHT CHEEEEEERE BABY!!!!!!0

waist to hip ratio is suppose to be .7 (divide waist by hip) example is 33 inch waist by 46 inch hips . beauty is always in the eye of the beholder:)0

My measurements are the perfect ones. 38/28/38 5'40

How come men never ask this stuff? What is a man's perfect measurement?0

You also need to take height into account. A woman who is five feet may look very different with the above measurements than someone who is six feet tall. Plus, keep in mind that part of body shape is genetic; some women are going to have more curves even when very thin than others who won't have curves even when heavier. There are no workouts in the world that can change that!0

What is perfect?0
-
never thought about it. I am what I am.
yes my measurements will change as i get more fit, but basically i can only work with what I am given.0 -
Since you use the word "perfect", then the answer is "no". If you asked if there was an ideal measurement, then that would depend on each person individually.0
-
This is the same as the 'perfect' face shape.
Long story short: there isn't one.
The human body is far too varied, and people's opinion of the body is far too varied, for there to be such thing as universal perfect measurements.0 -

There is absolutely no scientific proof for this whatsoever.
The fact is - 'ideal' female sizes change from one society to another and are most likely culturally constructed. You only have to look at the differences in English fashions to realise that - from the flat chested 'flapper girls' to the girdled and curvy 1950s look. Evolution could never change preferences so fast.0 -
Perfect measurements, there's no such thing. What's perfect is if your body works the way it should, your lungs are not struggling, your heart is not overworked, your bones can support you, your muscles are strong... Your health is your wealth, it's way more important than the aesthetic.0
