What is the perfect body measurement for women? What means Body Frame?
Everyone is different and each person has very specific taste but it does not mean there is no perfect body measurement for women. As there is no predefined definition of perfection, the answer is somewhat subjective and relative to everyone’s preconception of the perfect female body. So in essence the perfect body measurement for women is dependant on who you ask, whom you trust, whom with it should be compared and who is the MODEL.
Besides individual tastes, the ideal measurements are also cultural defined. In Africa a giant ass is hot, while most women in the Western world opt to go for some sizes smaller.
Have you ever heard that your arm span is the same length as your height? Or that the size of your foot is exactly the same as the length of your forearm? Well many artists and scientists have noticed this phenomenon over the centuries. They have also found a correlation that the closer to these proportions a person is, the more physically attractive they become. So the perfect body measurements have to be proportional to one another.
Now knowing that we have to limit the region where the proportional theory works. After all a 7 foot women with perfect proportions would not be many peoples definition of perfect. So using western culture as the most influential we can gather that a women’s perfect height is between 5”6’ and 5”10’.
So Using this information the perfect body measurements are:
- Height: 5”8’ (173 cm)
- Waist: 24 inches (61 cm)
- Hips: 28 inches (71 cm)
- Weight: around 146 pounds (66 kg)
However, who’s to say what is perfect. What is important is how you feel about your body measurements (unless you are comfortable with obesity).
What is the Perfect Female Body
Every woman, unless they don’t care about their health or how they look will want to own the perfect female body. Fashion, beauty magazines and advertisements capitalize on these desires by using tall, thin, sleek and slender female models to subliminally impress upon minds of women that these are the perfect body shape for women. These almost perfect glamour queens are used to dazzle the eye with their style, beauty and elegance to trick the average woman into thinking that they are not perfect and thus should use the advertiser’s products and services to get the perfect body.
However, do you know that most of these super thin female supermodels weigh more than 20% less than the average woman? To make matters worse, many of them don't reveal being their secret life of eating disorders such as anorexia to stay underweight to keep their supposedly glamorous jobs.
Furthermore, they also look very different in real life without any touch ups on their photos with added make-up and professional lighting of a photo shoot. Because of this, many women strive to be underweight to look like the waif like models which lead to women to eating disorders, unhealthy diets, over exercising and low self-esteem. Thus in order to understand what constitutes a perfect body for women and to get the body shape healthily, let’s take a look at various female body types.
