    I've seen this before, and although it is a decent enough rough idea of bodyfat percentages, different women can look extremely different at the same bodyfat percentages. The woman at 30% in these pictures carries her weight amazingly well, not really typical, I'd say. And the woman at 25% doesn't look as fit as most women I know that workout and have 25% bodyfat.

    20%-30% are the best body shapes for the F in my view.

    My own M shape is around 30%, and I'd like to get to low-20s.

    i say 15-17% because it is healthier for the woman...It shouldnt be about what men like, it should be about what is healthier.

    15-17% for females

    The most attractive body in the pic is the 30%, though.

    This is an interesting thread. Perhaps because I am female, I have a different take on it. Different men are attractive to me for different reasons. I don't really care about anyone's specific body fat percentage. A man's body is a signal to me about other things. Lean arms and legs, for example, send the same signal to me as seeing a guy get into a car with a bike rack on the back. They both say to me that this is a man who probably has a reasonable diet and an active lifestyle. I find that attractive. So when it comes to photos of men, below a certain "fat" threshold, I don't give a flying crap what his body looks like in a photo. I don't have any notable response to it. A picture of a man doing something he enjoys ... totally different thing. I may be very attracted to him, even if he's not at a particularly lean body fat %.

    I don't know where you get your facts but the healthy bf% range for women is not in that range...it's 20-30%

    It all depends on the source, although I haven't seen any that say 15-17% is ideal. I've usually seen around 18-25% for ideal (as in healthy) and up to 30% for "acceptable". A lot of sources shy away from labelling as "healthy" or "unhealthy" although 10-13% BF is essential for women.

    15-22% looks perfect to me at a glance.

    People are never perfect for more than just a glance though regardless of bf%
