They say beauty is only skin deep, but there’s no denying the power and pleasure in witnessing something beautiful. It just makes us feel good. However, it’s important to remember that beauty standards have always been subject to change.
Take a trip down memory lane and think about the ideal woman 70 years ago. Marilyn Monroe, the epitome of beauty in her time, had a completely different look than what is considered ideal today. In fact, if we go back even further, we find that the concept of the perfect female body has evolved over the centuries.
Change happens faster than we think. The ideal woman of each decade varies from one generation to the next. In the 80s, curvy and athletic bodies were in demand, while the 90s favored an extremely thin and almost translucent figure.
In recent years, science has taken the lead in defining the ideal female body. While trends may come and go, the core principles remain consistent.
Researchers from the University of Texas conducted a study to uncover the scientific truth behind what constitutes a beautiful female body in today’s society. The findings revealed the following measurements: a height of 1.68 meters (5’5 ft.), with a bust, waist, and hip size of 99, 63, and 91 cm, respectively (38.9, 24.8, and 35.8 inches).
One person who perfectly fits these measurements is Kelly Brooks, renowned model, actress, and media personality. Despite initially facing rejection due to her curvier figure, she eventually found success in the fashion and modeling industry. In fact, she was crowned as the sexiest woman alive in 2005. Today, she continues to thrive as the embodiment of the scientific ideal.
However, it’s worth noting that physical attributes alone do not determine a woman’s fertility. While studies suggest that men tend to be attracted to curvier bodies due to their association with fertility, it’s essential to realize that fertility is influenced by numerous factors.
Ultimately, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. While science provides its insights, each one of us has our own unique perspective on what we find beautiful.
