What is the Most Attractive Female Body Type?

Submitted by Meg Wilson on February 20, 2007 - 10:57.


The BBC has just conducted a very large survey about body image. They showed both men and women the pictures above and asked them to pick the most attractive body type. Most men picked the second picture. This was the most curvaceous body. Women were more likely to pick the first picture, a slimmer more athletic body. Very few people picked the third skinny photo. Only 2% of men and 5% of women thought this was the most attractive body.
