Ideal Body Type for a Woman
It has been awhile so it is time to pick the ideal body type for a woman.
1. Super thin
2. Thin
3. Average
4. Athletic
5. Thick
6. Plus Size (She is a plus size model)
6. Obese
Which is the ideal body type for a woman?
Comments (112)
7. Voluptuous
Thick & Plus Size! I love my females with more meat on them than a wild bear.
ultra thin
We all need to just be happy with what we’ve got. Stop going for this stupid “ideal” size. It’s bullshit.
4. Athletic
These are very attractive examples of each size. They all look great. If I could choose which one I could look like, it would probably be anything from 1-4.
I think I look pretty good…
2-4 are attractive, at least the women in the pics; Kim Kardashian makes me want to throw up my intestines, the other two i find.. meh, but then there are plenty of guys out there who would be very attracted to them. i don’t think there really is such a thing as “ideal” so long as you are healthy and happy with what you look like.
Appreciate what God gives ya, and someone else will appreciate it as well. I like a woman who is content to be what/who she is now, but strives for excellence in whatever she does. I like a woman to tell me who she is, and allows herself to be simply that. We all come to our relationships preloaded with opinions. Why is my opinion of any value for a woman? I’d much prefer a woman be who she is, and our opinions of each other will become educated as our relationship grows.
Whatever body type she is. You are such an agitator sometimes!
Anything but the first one please.
@Megabyyte - Agreed.
really? oh geez.
You forgot pregnant
I vote for health !
Let’s do one for men!
What MegaByyte says! The ideal size is the size of the person your like/love/whatever!
I like 3, 5, and 6.
I wouldn’t consider Kim Kardashian thick though…she is like a size 4…and the average US woman is bigger than that. So yeah.
What @TiredSoVeryTired said.
i think that #2 is more athletic and the Athletic one looks more thin.
The “average” is definitely NOT average. Average North American? pfffft I think we know what that looks like day to day.
Anyways. Ideal is healthy. Agreed with @locomotiv
Optimum health. Physical strength, endurance and peak organ performance is ideal for longevity and quality of life.
Silicone breasts? nope. sorry. Over the top BMI? pfffft Try again.
If you feel good and you are trying to live a long life then it will show on the outside. Confidence is the ideal body apprearance.
I like #3, 4 and 5 (and in that order). Btw, you need a better picture for #2 — I wouldn’t call that “thin”.
Those pictures aren’t accurate. Thick and plus size just look like average to me. On that note I like average, thick, and plus size.
@Lemonade_Constellation - confidence is exactly right
Way inaccurate. #7 is plus size, not obese. #3 is skinny. #2 & #4 are athletic. #5 & #6 are average.
Rob of the Sky
5, but shorter and with less breasts. Yeah, I said it. Fuck off. I like my tits how I like my tits.
3 works also, with the same caveats.
1 and 2, I’m afraid I’d break in half.
6, I’m afraid I’d GET broken in half.
whichever will put up with me
Where is “Healthy” on this list…? I couldn’t find it.
plus-size
MY ANACONDA DON’T WANT NONE UNLESS YOU GOT BUNS, HUN.
You are so ridiculous
The ideal doesnt exist.
What concerns me is that the cultural body ideal continues to become thinner and thinner. I worry about the effect this trend will have on my granddaughters. With commentaries such as this and others (pro ana for instance) and the modeling industry it is a wonder that any young won can have a healthy body image.
Instead of asking “what is the ideal body type”, wouldn’t we be better served to ask “how can we teach women to love who they are in whatever body type they reside in”?
Mine.
Ideal size would be healthy and happy.
Obese is the only one not showing her tummy. ??
mine
I love your average. HAHAHAHA
Now if I could pick my ideal body type, it would be a toss up between athletic and curvy. I like the athletic look of being fit. And I also like curvy because a woman’s body should have tits and ass imho.
2
Who cares? It’s all the same when the lights are off.
ROUND LIKE A CIRCLE.
I go for the option of healthy for your height and body structure.
I’m average if I lived in asia, but I’m considered to be a twig in the states due to the fatter population. I have size 0 legs, size 3 midsection and medium top. I’m an upside down triangle
my guy thinks I’m hot
I’m ideal for those, who prefer petite women and unappealing to those who prefer non-petites. they probably aren’t my ideal, and we aren’t dating, so whatever. I’d be biased and say the ideal are the body types which I can relate to; the skinnies.
Nothing about the rack on #3 is average.
Whatever my wifey is
I don’t care.
oooh, i love a post that deal with women like they are just objects!
I’m sure these ‘labels’ are not accurate, but I don’t want to be either the first or the last of those pics
Definitley not accurate when 3 is average. I know in the U.S the average size for a womens pant size is roughly 14.
I have also seen many, many more people more obese than that women o.O But I think the ideal body type for a women? Healthy. Not too skinny, not too fat. For someone with my height, and bone mass, my healthiest weight would be in the 140s, but can range from 130-160.
Don’t you post this like once every other month or so
I wanna see some men on here! ha ha
LOL at what you think is an “average” woman… as in stick thin with ginormous boobs.
There is no way the plus size one is really plus size. I think I look very similar to that and I wear S to XXS, far from plus sized.
@Foodhog - Might want to get your eyes checked. There is no way that “plus sized” model is wearing a S or anything close to it. She is very proportional, but she is a large person. Looks great, she is just a big girl. My Physical Therapist is like that. 6′ 02″, strong as an ox, great figure, probably weighs 180-200 or more. That girl can body slam you and throw you around without a second thought.
As for the pics, 2-7 are fine. Anorexic and Obese are not sexy. You can spin it any way you want it, but they are unappealing for the vast majority of men.
@Ork58 - Well I can guarantee I don’t have a flat stomach like all the other pictures.
This again? This very same post again?
You’re a fucking moron.
the last woman is not OBESE she represents the majority of the women on here. you are obviously not from the south. you can be healthy, muscular, and curvy…NOT OBESE. KIM KARDASHIAN IS NOT THICK, SHE IS SLIM. Fuck outta here…..
But I forgot you have unrelaistic, bullshit, hollywood standards, that general do not represent the majority of women.
Tell me your purposely picked these pictures, and this bullshit topic (once again asessing an “ideal” body type…as if our cultural socializing has nothing to do with that) to provoke everyone? If not you’re full of it. If you did you’re still full of it.
@maniacsicko - i love you. sexism in action.
I can’t say at this point. Can you arrange for test drives?
So, is 5 thick because she has breasts? Cause that’s the only thing “thick” about her . . .well and her head but that’s another story.
On another note, I like 4 and up. If I can potentially tuck you in to my purse and you’d have room to wiggle, then no . . .just no.
there are so many different beautiful body shapes & sizes.. but for me, as long as it doesn’t get too sloppy, I say the THICKER the better. I’d probably vote for something in the 5.5 – 6 family ~ peace
Your average girl has smaller thighs and arms than your thin girl. She just has big tits.
I prefer to be super-thin myself but I think the “ideal” for a beautiful healthy woman is 4.
Then again the most beautiful woman on your list is #6.
@TheyCallHerEcho88 - That’s what I said; the average woman has smaller thighs than the thin woman! Just bigger boobs.
Super thin…
Numero 3
@Manic_Butterflies - Lol, men! I guess if that’s the average, I am way further below average (as far as attractiveness is concerned) than I ever thought I was… good thing that I don’t take people’s opinions on this site too seriously
@crazy2love - not on the menu.
Kim Kardashian, all day, every day.
#3 is average? Yer funny Daniel!
not 5 or 6
medium size is good -I’m 160 and I need to lose still about 12lbs. for my height
This is rigged to encite outrage and demand change from this sites moderator by its users. Just like the Presidential Election!
Depends on your taste! But healthy is a good answer.
whatever. just have to be herself!
Why are there two number 6′s?
i prefer me fit. i don’t give two shits what other women do with their bodies or what other men prefer.
Yes.
The ideal body type is whatever she is happy with for her. There is no one ideal body type as we area ll different.
#1 super thin. However I think this should also apply to males and their ideal body shape as well. In my mind what you describe as super thin looks normal and not really thin at all.
Your selection of the image for “average” defies any attempt at meeting a “statistical” average. It is a highly idealized image of what this blog’s author believes (or wants the readers to believe) is average. The other selections are equally ludicrous.
And “ideal”? pffffft…
hahaha. Way to stir the pot. Now go get some new glasses.
“It has been awhile so it is time to pick the ideal body type for a woman.”
Dan, I’ve really enjoyed many of the blogs here that you’ve posted, and I understand that most of it is to generate healthy debate on topical subjects etc. But this?? I’ve got to say that this is the most ridiculous, inane thing I’ve seen written in a looooong time. It’s not worthy of you, seriously. Or is it? I don’t know.
The photo clips listed above are so off from “average”. How about instead of taking pictures from models and stars, we use pictures from peopleofwalmart.com . I think that’s a bit more accurate
“Thin” is more athletic, or toned. Average just has tig ol’ bitties.
Whatever body size the woman is comfortable in. The world needs to get off this ‘idea body type’ and let women be women. Lord have mercy.
If that’s a plus size model, I’m eating far too few twinkies and the gorgeous woman that is classifed as obese is not! It’s no wonder young women are having a hard time with self esteem.
I’m with @TiredSoVeryTired - I wonder how men would feel about this if it was about them.
Whatever size she’s happy & confident in. The super skinny looks unhealthy & is kind of off-putting. I can’t even say a word about the heavy girl cuz she looks so damn happy– so she’s just fine too
This is stupid. Not only does the ‘average’ sized woman look THINNER than the ‘thin’ woman, but all the rest that follow are very unobtainable figures, if you ask me. You want average, try getting a picture of a woman off the street or hitting up the grocery store. Most of the pics here are so doctored, and the models probably all have personal trainers. I say you take a look at real life instead of what you find in Google Images. I also don’t think I have to tell you that EVERY woman is ideal; there shouldn’t be one ideal. We’re all different, all human beings; why should anyone else be considered more ideal than the other? Sorry to bitch, but it really gets tiring seeing blogs like these which deal in only the superficial.
Each one of those women look beautiful =] No ideal size. I think healthy is important though and some larger women are just naturally larger…
If I was a man, I’d want a curvy lady =].
I like my women to look like children, to satisfy my own perverse desires while keeping it legal.
Naked.
Ideal for what?
Hourglass
I think you got 2, 3, and 4 wrong with the pictures and descriptions.
Haha, Dan… you and your “stir the pot” posts.
You and I both know that any type of “ideal” is highly subjective. My opinion on this only means anything when it comes to me. But for the sake of playing along, I’ll say All Of The Above. 
If #6 is obese, then I must be an elephant. #6 should be plus size.
#3 & #4. as long as you are comfy in your own skin i guess. there’s no one standard ideal type of body for women. everyone is born with a different born structure etc etc.
If you can call #3 “average” with a straight face, I think that maybe you don’t get out enough.
err….all of these women except for the last one and the first one look like the same body type to me– thin with big tits.
I love when you do this post, because the discussion ends with a girl saying “I love my body!” and then she posts naked photos.
Every. Damn. Time.
Great pre-save-the-boobs post!
I’d like to be average to thick…I’ll eventually get there (I hope)
It’s interesting that you chose and labelled a picture of a grossly fat man ‘thick’ (Kim Kardashian being the female equivalent) and then posted a picture of a very average looking woman and labelled her obese. You need to change your spectacles my friend. Fat, thin, aesthetically attractive or not (and remember most of the fashion industry where our perception of attractiveness stems is dominated by gay men who let’s face it wouldn’t have the first clue about what makes a woman attractive to the opposite sex!) That aside, people are people and should be judged by their actions and words not their body type.
Thick to plus size for me! Twigs and skeletons don’t do it for me. Besides, i really don’t care as long as she’s a redhead!
Whatever she’s most happiest, be it obese or super thin. We shouldn’t choose how a woman looks or say “Thin women are sexier than bigger women”, that’s a ticket for an eating disorder. Women are different and their size shouldn’t determine how sexy she is or her worth.
hahahahaha
What I really, really don’t like about this post is that you could very easily call all of these women “thin.” This is the kinda thing that makes thousands of gorgeous, plus size women feel “fat” and undeserving of love. And is exactly what society does to make them think that way.
No offense, but I honestly wouldn’t call any of these women big or obese. They’re all thin, except #6, and she’s only a little bit chubby.
pictures 2,3, and 4 are athletic lol
And 2,3, and 4 and mine are my ideals.
You call that “thick”? ha ha, can’t wait to see what is considered “thick” when it comes to dick size!
1 or 2. Possibly 3, here in America we need to stop going by “everyone is beautiful and we need to make them all feel good about themselves” and look at what is HEALTHY.
Eh. 2, 3 and 4. 1 looks anorexic, my bad.
I like the 1-6 range but a big bigger is probably more the realistic
Which average person has boobs like that?!?!
I like petite. Mind the gap will u? And idk how 3 is average lmao. Insanely over estimating women. The face plays a big role.
for me personally it’s athletic. it’s what it strive for even though i”m between average and thin. i this run and do stretches. but i think an athletic body is ideal because to me it represents health. they had to work hard to get it, without throwing up food or giving up food altogether to get it. they are disciplined in eating the right foods and work hard for it.
Athletic is … for sports ?? You could go bowling with those ! For 2 players !
