Absolutely right Jonathan. The proportions make all the difference and not the weight.

It’s important to note that it is the proportions that are important, not your weight alone. You can be bigger but still have good proportions.

I think it is also important to realise that thin women can be sexy, for example Audrey Hepburn. (Who was 5’7 and fluctuating between 100 to 110 pounds), had a waist tp hip ratio of 0.59, she had a 20 inch waist, and 34 bust and 34 hips, proving quite sexy. For another example I am 5’5, 100 pounds and 32-22-32, which gives me a waist to hip ratio of 0.69, almost 0.7, and very sexy and curvy, yet thin.

I agreed, I think the Hour Glass body shape is the most attractive body shape for girls. Sometimes unfortunately this is not working for many girls. Thanks for your great work sidhu, its really informative.

This article was terrible. And to mention Audrey Hepburn in the ‘WH 0.7 perfection ratio’…she struggled with anorexia throughout her career!

Personally, there is a size your body looks best at — and that factors in genes, your frame size, etc. There is also a preference involved in what you are attracted to. I’m glad, according to your article, I am not ‘most women’ and want some curvaceous figure…because I couldn’t have it if I tried. I’m thin but I was blessed/more cursed with a chest…but I’m no hourglass (nor do I want to be). If you write a follow-up on men’s bodies, I like the naturally thin guys … unlike most women.

I have to agree I think the Hour Glass body shape is the most attractive body shape for females. Unfortunately, you are either blessed with it or not. No amount of exercise or dieting is going to get you there if you have an apple, or pear body shape.

Twiggy also had the 0.70 WHR. It was de-emphasized with the way she was dressed for modelling. Lots of thin women have curves. My wife is 5’7″ 112 lbs and has the attractive waist-to-hip ratio mentioned in this article.

curvy bodies are far, far more attractive, as your pic shows. Many models are far too thin – it’s time they fattened up a bit!

Thank you for your reply. I am sorry that you feel that way. The article was not meant to discriminate but instead inform that if someone is overweight and is planning to shed some pounds, then that person could choose between a skinny or a shapely body as the end result. Both are achievable. I can understand that some women have tremendously high metabolic rates and find it very difficult to put on weight. But the topic of this blog is weight loss and not weight gain although weight gain could also be a very interesting topic for discussion. Its possible that lots of women with weight problems out there will call you lucky as you are gifted with a skinny body. Anyway all the best and thanks for your valuable feedback.
