    All depends on genetics and also how fit you are...

    This is so interesting. It seems like the women in the pics have proportionate body shapes and work out (so even in cases where there is extra weight, there is muscle and shape).

    Right now I am 31% bf and look somewhere in between the 30 and 35 ladies. I am aiming to get to 25.

    Thanks for this!!

    15 % for men = yummy for me
    15% - 17% for women = my wish for myself

    Aiming for 15%, would love 10-12% but without being a defeatist, I don't think I would be able to achieve that. Great post

    What is the source for those photos? I am between Ms 25 and Ms 30, and my breasts have never looked like that. I am Ms Dubious.

    I wished they showed some apple shaped women. I have the hips of the 20% but the waist of the 40%. :sad:

    Actually if you take the boobs from the 50% female and put them on the 25% male, add some bingo wings, there I am! lol

    It's not an entirely fair representation because you can take two twins even with the same body fat, but one could just be lean like a skeleton and one could be jacked and still be at the same %'s
    Oh, I know. Anorexic people are low in BF but so are muscular competing bodies.
    I just wanted people to see that you don't have to get to 10% to look healthy.

    Someone asked about the source, honestly it's just google I think. It was just something that popped up every time I punched in certain key words. Either that or google is stalking me and knows my obsession?
