If your opinion differs from the results of our survey or, in your opinion, there are not enough other beauties with ideal proportions in our top, share your thoughts in the comments.

It is doubly difficult for the fairer sex to look attractive: an extra couple of kilos, a dull complexion or dark circles under the eyes become an instant target for the paparazzi and, therefore, the property of millions. And who wants to shine on glossy covers without a “full parade” and even under the criticism of fashion experts.

Since appearance is the calling card of any mass media person, this person has no right to make a mistake. Therefore, “business cards” should look beautiful, expensive, interesting, no matter how much effort and labor it costs.

While compiling the top most luxurious celebrity figures, I was faced with the problem of...inequality. It seems to me that media ladies’ faces, or rather, faces and bodies, should be divided into 3 categories:

• "Young is green"
• "Mommies"
• "Berries again"

• height: 165 cm (174 cm);
• weight: 52 (56) kg;
• figure parameters: 89 – 61 — 90;

The star eats only healthy foods, with minimal heat treatment. She doesn’t go on diets, but she never overeats. Average daily calorie consumption is 1800-2000. The pop diva's menu always includes vegetables, fish, eggs and cereals.

As for sports, Nicole does not neglect strength training several times a week, and also works with a personal yoga trainer.

In order to keep her famous “hourglass” figure in shape (a type of female shape when the waist size corresponds to 70% of the hip size), the star works out on cardio equipment every day, jogs, and performs strengthening exercises.

• height: 172 cm;
• weight: 60 kg;
• figure parameters: 89 – 61 — 91;

Rihanna is prone to being overweight, so she has to adhere to a special diet and exercise daily. The singer's menu always includes eggs (whites only), fresh pineapple, fish, vegetables, hot water with lemon. Three times a week, Rihanna does step aerobics and runs on a treadmill.

• weight: 48 kg;
• figure parameters: 86 – 59 — 86;

Due to excellent genetics and young age, Cheryl is not a supporter of any diets. She eats high-calorie foods and loves soda. However, Cole dances and rides his bike every day. Perhaps the energy consumption of the young star is higher than energy consumption, which gives her the opportunity to shine in paparazzi photographs.

• height: 173 cm;
• weight: 56 kg;
• figure parameters: 92 – 66 — 96;

Ciara loves steamed vegetables, fish and seafood. She practically does not drink alcohol, does not smoke and does Pilates daily. The artist also masters the basics of yoga with a personal trainer, runs and swims in the pool 2-3 times a week.

Jessica says that she always eats only part (half) of the portions that are offered to her. And this is even if you really like the dish. The “3+2+1” diet also helps her (3 main meals, 2 snacks, 1 liter of water per day).

• weight: 64 kg;
• figure parameters: 90 – 64 — 102;

The actress often goes on a lemonade diet (only lemonade in her diet), does not eat after 18.00, eats natural food and does fitness every day. Dancing, running, swimming, aerobics, Pilates - this is not a complete list of the star’s workloads.

Of course, the young ladies, whose names are known throughout the world, keep their mark and show us, mere mortals, that you can remain a beautiful rose even after several births, even in your fifth or sixth decade. However, despite the fact that everyone has their own beauty secrets, the main thing is that the reflection in the mirror always sincerely smiles at you, and inspiration leads to new deeds and achievements!

In pursuit of a beautiful appearance, most women put their figure first. To achieve this, the beautiful half of humanity sacrifices a lot to be like the beauties on the covers of fashion magazines: they diet, play sports, and so on. But are these efforts worth the reward in the eyes of men?

And what figure do they consider the most attractive when looking at photos of famous beauties? This question can be answered today by scientists from around the world who have repeatedly conducted sociological surveys regarding the most attractive female appearance.

What a “beautiful female figure she is through the eyes of men” - you will find out from our article!

It turns out that a beautiful female figure through the eyes of men is not at all the notorious sizes 90-60-90, as many women believe. But there is still some truth here.

As many different people as there are, there are just as many opinions regarding ideal appearance. Previously, at different times, chubby or very thin girls were in fashion. Nowadays, the main ideal of a female figure can be called symmetrical proportions, and the sizes of the chest, waist and hips are not so important.

There are lovers of both thin and plump women:

1. Too skinny should have round proportions to draw attention to your figure. It is better if the chest and hips are approximately the same size, and the waist is smaller. This figure is perfect for short girls. Men like this type of appearance due to the fact that you can feel like a gentleman while protecting and caring for her.
2. Curvy ladies also attract the attention of men. They are more often chosen for serious relationships. According to psychologists, this type of appearance is more popular with men of low social status or those with a mother of the same shape. But it is worth noting that fullness should be moderate - a sagging belly and sides do not look good on anyone. If you look through the eyes of a man, then a full female figure can be called beautiful if the waist is about 70 percent of the hips, and the chest is the same volume.
3. The most ideal appearance women have an athletic build. A toned stomach and hips, medium-sized breasts and slightly pumped up muscles of the arms and legs make the owner of the fair sex the most desirable in the eyes of a man. But here you need to not overdo it with pumping up the muscles, since too noticeable biceps make the figure less feminine, which men really don’t like.

The hourglass figure is the ideal body according to men

Although everyone’s tastes are different, most men agree on one opinion - a masculine figure with large shoulders and narrow hips is not attractive. The most ideal figure is considered to be the “hourglass”. This type of woman has a waist that is much smaller than her hips and chest.

This choice is connected with the fact that men, on a subconscious level, have the nature to choose a healthy and fertile couple. And a narrow waist and wide hips just evoke the idea of ​​a woman’s readiness to procreate.

Interesting fact! Scientists have found that women with a guitar-shaped figure have a large amount of estrogen, which contributes to the conception and bearing of children. It is this sex hormone that shapes the female body, making the hips wider than the waist.

Therefore, a beautiful female figure, if seen through the eyes of most men, should be in the shape of an hourglass, indicating that the woman will be able to bear and give birth to a healthy child.

Figure “90-60-90” - the ideal body for ladies' men

Not so long ago, the proportions 90-60-90 were considered the standard of beauty. It was these parameters that most beauties strove for. But, as it turns out, such volumes most often attract men who are not ready for a long-term relationship. If we talk about a partner for procreation, then The main criterion that men highlight is a thin waist and wide hips.

And centimeters are not the main thing here. But a man, who puts only the fashionable attributes of attractiveness in the first place, is looking for the most ideal, the most beautiful, the most slender. Such a partner will always cheat, looking for a more fashionable and glamorous beauty on the side.

A rectangular figure is the ideal body for male leaders

But a beautiful female figure through the eyes of male leaders is rectangular, without roundness or appetizing curves. Such a woman demonstrates a strong character and the ability to stand up for herself, so for her the best match can only be a strong man with leadership qualities.

But “mama’s boys” with a weak character, who are ready to live “under the thumb”, are also drawn to women with a “rectangle” figure, because they want to be under someone’s protection.

Note! In women with a rectangular figure, male hormones androgens predominate, which direct fat deposits to the waist area, removing them from the hips. Such hubbub increases stress resistance and endurance, which makes a woman’s character “steel-like.”

What should a woman's breasts look like?

You can often see models with large breasts in fashion magazines and on television. Many ladies try in every possible way to enlarge their breasts, believing that men like this type more. But it’s worth knowing that beauties with model appearance are more popular with teenagers or older men.

And such ladies attract them only because of the opportunity to assert themselves and show others their importance.

Not everyone considers a woman with large breasts to be beautiful. In the eyes of most men, the most acceptable size is considered to be the second or third. And they show rather simple curiosity towards busty ladies, but they do not want to marry such women.

On thin and fragile girls, large breasts look more vulgar than beautiful. Therefore, you should not disfigure your body with silicone, as this can lead to deterioration of health, and the desired result will not be achieved.

Waist and hips: what are the ideal parameters for men

Men, when looking at a woman, immediately pay attention to the hips and waist. This zone, according to the majority of the stronger sex, is the most attractive.

But what really captivates their attention? Scientists have found that on an intuitive level, men evaluate their potential partner in this way - is it worth getting to know her, is she already taken by another contender for her hand and heart, is she healthy, and so on.

And you can find out exactly by the waist, hips and their ratio:

• thin waist shows the man that the woman is not pregnant, and therefore not busy;
• toned, rounded hips they talk about the good health of the female and the opportunity to give birth to healthy offspring;
• difference between waist and hips will show the woman’s character and her ability to bear and feed a child.

No matter how plump the lady is, the optimal index between the waist and hips should not exceed 0.7. That is, the waist volume should be only 70% of the hip volume. Such parameters will attract attention regardless of the woman’s fullness, height and body weight (within reason, of course).

Interesting fact! Men don't need to walk around with a tape measure to see an attractive waist-to-hip ratio. They just need to look at a woman for 10 seconds, and their intuition itself will tell them the correct parameters of the female body, at which they can safely make further decisions on procreation.

Long legs are the standard of female beauty

An indisputable fact is the increased interest of almost all men in long-legged ladies. Regardless of height and weight, a woman’s legs must be long.

This whim can be explained by the fact that short legs indicate childhood, that is, the woman is still unprepared for procreation. And during puberty, women's legs begin to lengthen, and this intuitively allows men to understand that the girl is ready to bear children.

So the long legs and symmetrical figure of a woman are not at all the whim of a pampered and capricious man, but a completely practical choice in implementing the plan for producing offspring.

What size clothes should a woman have according to men?

If women think that they need to lose weight to clothing size 40 (or XXS by international standards), then this is a deep misconception. Numerous studies have shown that men prefer to see their girlfriends in size 46 rather than in the smallest.

For example, British TV presenter and actress Kelly Brook has a rather impressive bust, and it’s difficult to call her skinny, but her figure has become the ideal for most men.

For comparison, in order to understand how beautiful a thin woman is considered, you can look at the table of the ratio of positive votes received to the parameters of the figures of different celebrities.

As you can see, too small a size in women's clothing is not popular among the stronger sex and receives very few votes of sympathy.

But men also treat very plump girls with disdain, and will not be delighted if their chosen one suddenly begins to gain extra pounds. A particularly large amount of disapproval was heard towards girls who rapidly gained weight by three or more clothing sizes.

Men reacted relatively calmly when their partner gained 1-2 sizes in weight. And the opinion was divided almost in half if their chosen one gained 2-3 sizes.

So a beautiful female figure through the eyes of men is definitely not an anorexic model or a shapeless plump figure, but a curvy woman with round, proportional shapes and a thin waist.

A survey of men by German sociologists regarding the ideal female figure showed very interesting results. It turns out that the male ideal changes depending on the social status in the country.

In wartime or when a financial crisis occurs, men's eyes are turned to curvaceous figures, and in peacetime - to thin ladies. So you shouldn’t worry too much about the extra 2-3 kg of weight gained, the main thing is that your figure is toned and your body is healthy. To do this, you need to lead a healthy lifestyle, give preference to natural products and exercise.

A beautiful female figure through the eyes of men in this useful video:

Women's beauty through the eyes of men in different countries of the world:

Do you have a good figure? It depends not only on your weight, but also on your body proportions and build type. Simple calculations will help you figure out which parameters are the standard for you. Well, let's do the math?

Did you know that the model beauty parameters 90x60x90 are not the only beauty standard? Such proportions are suitable for a girl with a height of about 175 cm. One who is 10-15 cm shorter in height, like, for example, Venus de Milo, with similar volumes, will seem plump, and a taller one will appear overly thin. So be lenient with the boring numbers and adjust them to suit your height and constitution.

Body type

There are three types of physique: normal, asthenic (from the Greek “stenos” - strength and “a” - negation) and sthenic. The last two types are distinguished as “narrow” and “wide” bone.

Measure your wrist and you will find out what your constitution is. A representative of the asthenic type will have less than 17 cm, while a sthenic, “strong” type will have more than 19 cm. The first will always look graceful, fragile, and the second, even with exhausting diets and workouts, will not achieve Malvina’s wasp waist and weight.

How to calculate the ideal weight for your body type?

Take Broca's method: for a height of 165 cm and below, the normal weight will be height in cm minus 100, for height from 166 to 175 cm - height minus 105, from height over 176 cm you need to subtract 110.

Asthenics can easily subtract another 3-5 units from the result obtained, and their opposites can safely add the same amount.

Girl "in the body"

Men are not attracted to skinny women at all - there is amazing female magnetism in the forms, for example, of Anfisa Chekhova. The secret is not in the volumes of the waist and hips, but in their ratio: it should be 0.7.

Rubens knew this secret and, in fact, glorified precisely this type of female beauty. After all, a coefficient of 0.7 characterizes a woman who is capable of giving birth to healthy offspring, which means that a woman is sexually attractive with precisely these parameters.

Normosthenic is an intermediate type between the previous two. Gives its representatives a slender and proportionate figure. What a score? Try to maintain the advantage that you have by nature!

Continuous arithmetic

Even primitive people in the Paleolithic era tried to derive a universal formula for the figure! In female figurines of that time, the torso clearly fits into the circle, and the joined arms and legs form 2 isosceles triangles.

Plastic surgeons still use the theory of classical proportions of the brilliant Leonardo da Vinci to create impeccably correct forms. The male figure resembles a triangle, and the female figure is like a guitar or an hourglass, while the volumes of the chest and hips are approximately equal.

Perfection itself!

Let's measure the following parameters:
B - thigh circumference under the gluteal fold;
P—shoulder circumference;
N - shin circumference;
Ш - neck circumference;
G - chest circumference;
T - waist circumference.

The proportionality of the figure (P) is determined as follows: P = B: (H+P+W).

Ideal indicators for women are 0.54-0.62.

Another formula for body proportionality: P = (T: height) x 100%.
The forms are normal if the result is 40-50%.

Want to know how graceful you are? Substitute your values ​​into the slimness equation: (G-T): (2H-B) = 1-4.

People tend to have misconceptions about their figure. Often some are in no hurry to purchase a membership to a fitness club, although it is high time, while others, on the contrary, torment themselves with strict diets, already on the verge of dystrophy.

What about the waist?

The thinner it is, the more seductive the shape and the longer the life. It is not necessary to strive for 60 cm. The standard for a beautiful waist is a waist-to-chest ratio of 0.66.

Body image ideals in different countries

In different parts of the world, people have their own standards for the female figure.

• Europe. Slavic women are recognized as the thinnest. Spanish beauties are athletic, Dutch women are famous for their long legs. But Italian women, despite their delicious food, are the most graceful.
• America. Most American girls dream of having the ideal hourglass figure proportions, and this despite the national obesity rate! Only the Mexicans managed to achieve the desired result. Residents of Peru are famous for their magnificent bust and wide hips.
• Asia. Chinese women appear to us as short and fragile. Israeli women place more importance on facial features than on figure. Flip-flops are sophisticated women with thin necks.

Stellar protection for feminine curves

SHAKIRA previously had complexes about her not very toned tummy. She then did her signature moves with a mixture of Latin and belly dancing. And what is belly dancing without the belly itself?

JENNIFER LOPEZ is proud of her curvy hips and round butt. The recognized beauty and successful businesswoman regularly does exercises for her buttocks to keep them strong.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON has a size three bust that is outstanding by Hollywood standards. But it was thanks to this non-standard that Scarlett became number 1 on the list of the sexiest women in the world.

BIONSE is the owner of a “wide bone”, curvy hips correspond to the waist. Its parameters are 87-64-95.

SALMA HAYEK. Salma is happy with her curvaceous figure and does not diet.

What indicators did you get according to our calculations? Are you satisfied with yourself? Share with us in the comments!

By choosing a diet, any woman hopes to become more attractive, to be liked by others, and to get a chance to climb the career ladder.

Once you set a goal, you can accept some dietary restrictions without them seeming debilitating. But first, you should still find out what result you need to strive for.

1. Thin-boned (asthenic) body type. Women with this body type have long limbs, thin bones, a long and thin neck, and relatively weakly developed muscles. As a rule, representatives of the thin-boned type are light in weight; they are active, active, and even with increased nutrition, they do not gain weight immediately, since they spend energy faster than they accumulate.

2. Normal (normosthenic) body type. Women of this physique are lucky. As a rule, they have a beautiful, proportionally built figure. The main body dimensions are distinguished by the correct ratio.

3. Large-boned (hypersthenic)body type. Representatives of this body type have larger transverse body dimensions than normosthenics and asthenics. They are distinguished by wide, thick and heavy bones; their shoulders, chest and hips are wide; legs are short. Women with this body type are most likely to be overweight. They have to be especially strict about their diet.

To determine your body type, it is enough to measure the circumference of the wrist of your working hand: for asthenics it is less than 16 cm, for normosthenics it is from 16 to 18.5 cm, for hypersthenics it is more than 18.5 cm.

Growth rate
A woman's height plays an important role in determining her ideal weight.

For a long time, the following gradations of female growth were considered classic:
— low — 150 cm and below;
- below average - 151-156 cm;
- average - 157-167 cm;
— tall - 168-175 cm;
- very tall - 176 cm and above.

In the last quarter of the 20th century. In connection with acceleration, changes were made to this scale: for women with large bones and a normal body type, average (normal) height can be considered from 166 to 170 cm, and for thin-boned women - from 168 to 172 cm.

Leg length

Obviously, height largely depends on the length of the legs. After the profession of a fashion model became one of the most prestigious and highly paid, long legs became fashionable. But in practice, of course, one has to be content with what nature has given. The length of the legs should be measured from the trochanteric point (this is the tuberosity of the femur located opposite the hip joint) to the floor.

As a rule, long legs are characteristic of tall women of normosthenic and especially asthenic body types. Small women usually have short legs, but if they are proportional to their height, then the figure does not suffer. If the length of the legs is more than half the height, the physique can be considered correct (the proportions are met). Legs are considered short only if their length is less than half the height. Most often, such disproportion occurs in short women with a hypersthenic body type. But even in this case, you can visually hide the existing imbalance with the help of high-heeled shoes.

A figure can also be considered beautiful if the length of the legs is more than half the height by the following amount:
- for large-boned animals - by 2-4 cm or more;
- for those with a normal body type - by 4-6 cm;
- in thin-boned ones - by 6-9 cm.

For example, if with a height of 168 cm and a normal body type, the length of a woman’s legs is 90 cm, then the proportions of her figure can be considered ideal: 90 - (168: 2) = 6.

Harmony of horizontal lines

Having found out the norms of vertical proportions, you can begin to determine the horizontal proportions. First you need to measure the circumference of your chest, waist and hips. Traditional standards for fashion models (90-60-90) are good for tall beauties performing on the catwalk. A short, plump woman who wants to look stately and attractive should strive for different standards.

For women with a normal body type, the ideal ratio is where the chest circumference is equal to half the height plus 2-5 cm. To determine the bust size, you need to measure the chest circumference and add 8-10 cm to the resulting result. To calculate the ideal waist size from the height indicator should be subtracted 100-105 cm. The size of the hips should exceed the waist circumference by about 30 cm.

For thin-boned girls, a ratio in which the chest circumference is 84-86 cm, and the bust circumference is 4-6 cm larger than these values, can be considered normal. The waist of such girls is usually thin - 60-64 cm, and the hip circumference is about 30 cm larger. In women with a large-boned body type, these figures are significantly higher. So, the chest circumference should exceed half the height by 8-10 cm; to determine the bust circumference, another 8-10 cm should be added to the chest circumference. With a height of 166-168 cm, a waist with a circumference of 70-76 cm would be ideal; The hip circumference should be 25-28 cm larger.

Height to weight ratio. Methods for determining weight

So, body weight depends on the body type, height and age of a person. The easiest way for a modern woman to determine her normal weight is to trust the calculations of science.

Calculation of ideal weight using Broca's formula

The easiest way is to use the formula proposed back in the 19th century. by the famous French anthropologist Paul Broca: weight in kilograms is equal to height in centimeters minus 100. With height up to 165 cm, the coefficient is 100, up to 175 cm - 105, above 175 cm - 110.
According to the latest ideas, the formula can take into account age: for 20-40 year olds, weight should be reduced by about 11%, for people over 50 - increased by about 6%.
The formula can take into account a person’s body type - asthenic (thin-boned), normosthenic (normal-boned) and hypersthenic (broad-boned). Body type is determined by the girth of the wrist of the working hand.
For women, the asthenic type is the wrist girth less than 16 cm, the normosthenic type is 16-18 cm, and more is hypersthenic. For men, the asthenic type is a girth of less than 17 cm, the normosthenic type is 17-20 cm, and more is hypersthenic. Accordingly, for the asthenic type the weight should be reduced by about 10%, for the hypersthenic type it should be increased.

Thus, the ideal female parameters are:
For hypersthenics with a height of 170 centimeters, weight should be 70 kilograms. Such women have a dense physique, and they have more fat than muscle. The formula for the ideal weight for this type of figure is simple: height minus 100. A hypersthenic’s wrist is never narrow - from 18 centimeters.

Normosthenics have average height. The figure is not as dense as that of a hypersthenic. But there is more muscle than fat. To calculate the ideal weight for a normosthenic person, you need to remember the formula - height minus 103. So, with a height of 170 centimeters, the ideal weight is 67 kilograms. Wrist circumference - 17 centimeters.

The most graceful type is asthenic. With an elongated figure, asthenics cannot boast of shape, even if they eat for two. The formula for the ideal weight of an asthenic is height minus 110. So, with a height of 170 centimeters, the norm for an asthenic is 60 kilograms, and the circumference of the wrist is no more than 15 centimeters.

Doctors warn: a person’s physique is a given given at birth, changing which by following a diet is dangerous to health

Calculation of ideal weight according to Quetelet index
You can calculate normal weight quite accurately using the so-called Quetelet index: weight in grams must be divided by height in centimeters. For women aged 16 to 40 years, height in centimeters should be multiplied by the weight-height coefficient corresponding to age and body type. On average, it may look like this: with a thin-boned body type, for every centimeter of height it is enough to have 325 g of weight; for women with a normal body type - 350 g, and for those with a large-boned body type - 375 g.

It must be emphasized that the ideal weight of women (especially those whose height is below 160 cm) should be 10-15% less than normal. For short women up to at least 20 years of age, it is advisable to weigh 3-5 kg ​​less than normal.
