    30-40% because meh, that's how I roll. It's just preference though. I'll take a smart chick regardless of the number.

    I also think it's contingent on where one stores fat. The overwhelming majority ITT find the female at 25% bf sample to be the most appealing, yet her fat is stored on the breasts and hips, giving her an appealing hourglass shape. Personally, I think the 15-20% on the female looks best: lean and fit. On the male side, I would say the 12% looks best. Of course, this is a highly subjective topic and I realize that I am in the minority here.
    I agree i think if they put 30% boobs on 15-20%bodys most ,not all of course, men would agree. I like the 12% on the guys too.

    If 15-20% ladies had 30% ladies boobs they'd no longer be 15-20%. A larger bust would, naturally, increase their body fat percentage.

    That said I think you'd find a surprising amount of men wouldn't fine 15% to be ideal at all. Not that it matters what some random men think, it's not the sort of thing I let stress me out, but there seem to be a lot that genuinely prefer an overall 'softer' look, not just in the hips/breast region.

    20 to 35%

    But those numbers aren't super real...
    I'm 12% BF and don't look like this guy lol

    10-25% on women. 15-18% probably is what I find most attractive (on headless pictures. the face is what really attracts me). But those pics aren't quite accurate. That 30% girl is quite a bit less I think, leaner even than the 25% girl.

    For male physiques I admire, want for myself, or just fascinate me....4%-12%. Over 12% is just fat. But I'm weird and have a warped perspective of male bodies.

    30% is what I find most attractive on a woman if I were going on physical attractiveness alone.

    As a woman I would like to be around the 30% pic, I like my curves. Lol.

    Chart is misleading. I am at 15% and don't have a comparable build to the picture.

    Personally I'd like to be a 30 but I'd be very happy with a 35 ...but then again anything is better then my 280 lbs right now lol

    On men I'd have to say 15 to 25. I've dated some 30's and a 35. I'm honestly not super into the whole six pack thing. I've always dated tall skinny guys so although it's fit and healthy and nice to look at , I don't swoon just cuz it's there. :)

    Pluuuuuus.... When u sleep with a couple 10-12's and they suck and then u go to a 25-35 and they lay it down like nobodys business... Bahah!! Just sayin.. :)

    For the women I'd like to look like the 30, according to my measurements I am in between the 30 and 35 but I see myself as the 35. Can't imagine I'm only 3% away from looking like the 30%. But my hips, bum and boobs and my thighs hold most of my weight which looks like where the 30% holds hers too? For the men I like the 15% not too defined but defined enough

    Oh and this photo chart would be much more comparable if they used photos of women of the same age, body type etc. The 25% and the 30% you can tell are younger than the 35 and 40

    What's the difference between the 15-17% and the 20-22% ladies?

    Personally I like 25-30% in a woman, but a confident woman is sexy at any % IMO.

    I am quite surprised how many 30 range answers there are. I found it impossible to feel confident at 35, yet i can look at another woman of 35 and think she is absolutely gorgeous.

    What is the best method to measure body fat??

    I was looking online and found this comparison chart. I am curious as to which body type most men prefer. I am actually quite surprised by some of the answers I've heard from my guy friends..



    I personally like 25% on myself :smile:

    I'm personally aiming for mid to upper teens (about 18% for me). I think its hot if you got good muscles. I personally don't like that particular picture on the chart though...weird angle and she looks like she's sucking in.

    And I've never had a preference for guys. My husband is about 18%, I believe and he's hawwttt.
