    Stupid work computer won't allow me on the site. How does it measure you for the "perfect body?"
  • I'm not about to put myself through that kind of torture, but it is kinda cool that she's not a small or skinny girl yet she has the perfect body. I never wanna be skinny.

    Yeah, but "perfect" for what? I have the prescribed ratio, but I'm not perfect for most things.

    I'd make a lousy horseback rider (I'm too tall) and a terrible long distance runner (I'm too thick). I'd make an awful long distance swimmer (not enough body fat) and I'd suck at modeling (I have body fat).

    Here's my measure. Does your body move you around every day? Then it's perfect.:flowerforyou:

    Mine is obviously far from perfect hahaha but I actually did watch a documentary about this very topic. The idea is that this is the type of, not only body, but face, that most people are the most attracted to. Apparently, this is the "perfect" combination that the vast, vast majority of people are attracted to. For the face, I can't remember how the calculations are made, but it's the same for the face... like, how far apart the eyes are apart, etc.

    It's actually very scientific, and interesting that .7 happens to be such a predominant number in all of attractiveness. I believe that it even led into attractiveness in nature. "We" as people seem to be drawn to the .7 proportions....

    here this is the idea behind it

    basically someone whos waist is 70% of their hips are scientifically most attractive... but i think its all sillyness....

    absolutely silly... women need to learn to love their bodies the way they are not by some percentage..

    thats the reason i put my percentage which is .76 which is supposeably close to perfect ... yet i need to lose 70 pounds still... its funny...
  • i agree with that last bit.

    You have to love your body the way it is, if you are not comfortable with it then even if you are a certain % you will still not see it as perfect.

    its good to challenge your self , but the goal should be fitness. If you can run and stay active throughout with a trim waist size i guess u should soon be called S E X Y!!!

    Healthy body is a healthy mind :)

    0.7083! :drinker:

    lol, but there is no such thing as a 'perfect body'! Our flaws make us each unique and beautiful! :flowerforyou:
  • here is my issue with this.. I have never had a small waste and I never will have a small waste.. Even when I was skinny and weight liek 115 pounds I still didn't have a very defined waste.. I am very straight and that is my body.. SO who says.. just because I don't have a waste I don't have the perfect body.. Yes obvi right now I don't have the perfect body.. but I think when I lose my 20 pounds my body will be perfect in my eyes!! haha.. and that is as good as it is going to get!! haha..

    You know, that post was sent to me by a friend who happens to be happy she has the proportions of Kelly Brook. It was ligth hearted and I don't think it requires anyone's overated opinion on how useless or stupid it is. Lighten up!

    Maybe overated is the wrong word but it was just a bit of fun anyone who may be interested. Don't understand why people have such a problem with it!

    Agreed. I thought it was interesting, but I'm certainly not basing my idea of womanhood around it.

    Sometimes these posts are actually about fun, not everything has to turn into a lengthy discussion about body image! :happy:

    I know I took this with a grain of salt, but it was fun just to see, if I wouldn't have had the number I came up with I wouldn't have cared much at all!

    Mine is .81 but I don't consider myself fat. I am 5'4" 128 pounds. I just don't have big hips. My waist is 28, my hips 34.5. I don't like this as a measure of health because it only works if you have a more hourglass or pear figure.
