A recent study by brain experts at Massachusetts General Hospital, who showed photos of beautiful women to heterosexual men, came up with a ranking of how attractive different parts of the female body are to men, in order: toned body, sexy lips, full breasts, slender legs, round hips and thin waist, hemispherical buttocks, attractive eyes, long hair, small nose, flat stomach, streamlined back , streamlined pubic area, slender neck, and face.
So what is the standard for a woman’s perfect body in the eyes of the Chinese? The Life Times conducted a survey in conjunction with Sohu Health. Among the 8,752 people who participated in the survey, 39.6% chose the plump and soft type, followed by the fit type (28.4%) and the plump and strong type (24.2%), and the bony body sought by many women ranked last, accounting for only 7.8%. And in the eyes of Americans, it is women with athletic, toned bodies that are most attractive to men.
Studies show that a woman who has a strong and fit body means she has the ability to produce offspring and protect children in times of crisis. The majority of men prefer a plump and muscular woman, especially mature men over 35, and a thin, malnourished woman is not their ideal sexual partner, as opposed to a devilish body that is more eye-catching than an angelic face.
What is the perfect height for a woman? The survey results show that 51.7% of people prefer women who are 1.60m-1.65m tall, followed by 1.65m-1.70m (39.9%), 1.55m-1.60m (5.2%), and 1.70m (3.2%). This is also different from the aesthetics of Europe and the United States. According to a recent report in the British newspaper The Independent, Polish researcher Pokrinka proposed a set of criteria for evaluating women’s figures, in which the average height of a woman with a perfect figure should be 5 feet 9 inches (about 1.74 meters).
And in the eyes of the nation, the perfect female body needs to have some of the following essential elements:
Long legs (76.9%). According to research, the most attractive legs are characterized by 3 cm of outer fat and about 2.5 cm of inner fat. When the legs are together, there are only four points of contact between the legs, namely the mid-thigh, the knee, the calf belly and the heel. Generally speaking, the knee is the golden point between the sole of the foot and the navel, and the navel is the golden point from the top of the head to the ankle. As long as this ratio is met, a pair of thighs can be considered slender and proportionate.
However, women with long legs are not necessarily healthy. A Johns Hopkins University study showed that people who are tall and have long lower limbs generally have poor health. The longer the thighs, the more likely you are to have diabetes, and the opposite is less likely to get the disease.
Adequate breasts (73.3%). The breast is an important secondary sexual characteristic of women. The National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the National Federation of Industry and Commerce Beauty and Cosmetics Industry Chamber of Commerce Vice President Zhang Xiaomei said that the beautiful shape of the breasts should be plump and upright and elastic, the size is moderate, the shape of the hemisphere is the best, the distance between the two breasts is moderate, the nipple is shaped like a mulberry, the areola is moderate in size, its color is consistent with the color of the nipple; the skin of the breast is moist and elastic, the color is consistent with the skin tone of the whole body. A medium-sized woman with a basal breast diameter of 10-12 cm and a breast height of 5-6 cm is the most beautiful breast.
Slim waist and round hips (68.4%). Studies have shown that the ratio of waist to hip circumference is 7:10, meaning that a gourd hourglass figure with a waist circumference of 67%-80% of the hip circumference is most attractive to men.
A professor at the University of Texas who studies evolutionary psychology has intensely studied the winners of beauty pageants and naked women in Playboy magazine over 50 years and found that the average weight of perfectly sexy women has decreased by 13 pounds over 50 years, but the 7:10 waist-to-hip figure has not changed, and he also found that most of the most attractive women have a two-width ratio of 67% -He also found that most of the most attractive women were between 67% and 80%.
Research in recent years has found that the same trim ratio, centered on a thin waist, is also a criterion of physical health and is strongly associated with longevity. For women, those with full breasts and hips, wider shoulders, slightly thicker thighs and thinner waists are the healthiest type, with a mortality rate of only 1% for this body type and a higher mortality rate for thinner women with thicker waists.
Flat, small bellies (61.0%). A flat, smooth belly is the most attractive to men, and almost no man likes a woman with a “life preserver”. A recent Canadian study shows that people of normal weight with protruding abdomens can be a “ticking time bomb” for disease. So, regardless of age or gender, reducing belly fat can reduce the risk of heart disease.
Fascinating eyes (60.7%) Big eyes are one of the characteristics of beauty in any country. If a woman’s eyes take up a larger percentage of her entire face, it inspires men to be protective. A survey of 3,000 people in the United States showed that blue eyes are the color that most people are attracted to.
Aesthetically, eyes that are 3 cm long and 1 cm wide, with the distance between the eyes and the length of the eyes being equal are the most ideal eyes. Zhang Xiaomei said the first hurdle of electric-eyed beauty is double eyelids, the second is long and dense eyelashes, the third is the right thickness of eyebrows, and the fourth is no bags under the eyes.
A long and slender neck (42.8%). Men’s necks are shorter, thicker and more powerful than women’s, which makes women’s slender, tapered necks a clear feature of gender differences. The aesthetic standards for Chinese women’s necks are: in terms of lines, the neck is suitably convex in front, the forward bending moment is between 3-5 cm, the thickness of the neck is in harmony with the size of the head and shoulder width, and the length of the head and neck is approximately equal to 1/6 of the height.
Long hair (40.5%). A long, beautiful head of hair is the most seductive ornament for women, and is especially attractive to men. A survey of 5,214 men showed that 74% of those surveyed thought women with long hair were sexier, 12% preferred women with short hair, and the rest felt no difference.
In a sense, health is the most important criterion for hair beauty, and it should have the following qualities: natural, smooth, soft, and bouncy.
Sexy mouth (36.9%). According to ergonomic studies, people look at their appearance in the order of eyes, mouth and lips, facial contour, nose, and ears. The mouth and lips are second only to the eyes in importance, and sometimes more important than the eyes.
A beautiful lip shape should be: coordinated and symmetrical upper and lower lips, full and symmetrical bilaterally, moderate thickness of upper and lower lips, beautiful and smooth curve and curvature of lips, bright and appropriate color, full and round texture. So, usually drink more water and rub lip balm to keep your lips moist.
Streamlined back (36.8%). The men of the world love women with perfect curves. The upper part of a woman’s back is narrower than a man’s, the lower part is wider, and the lower part of her spine is curvier than a man’s. A curved back makes the hips stick out and the breasts stick forward.
Hemispherical hips (24.1%). With a slender waist and hips forming a pair of curved hemispheres that are semi-circular, slightly upturned, and elastic, they are often considered to be the most beautiful and attractive hips.
The Chinese believe that a woman with large, rounded hips can have more children, and there is medical evidence for this. The Chinese believe that a woman with large hips can give birth to more children, and this is medically justified. Large hips mean a wide pelvis, and a wide pelvis facilitates the development and growth of the fetus in the mother’s womb. The same concern for racial reproduction also comes from the Western belief that women should be beautiful with “plump hips”.
Small noses (21.3%). The three “golden triangles” of a beautiful nose are the isosceles triangle with the ratio of the nose to the bottom edge on both sides equal to 0.618 or an approximate value, with internal angles of 36 degrees, 72 degrees, and 72 degrees, respectively. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
