And thank God for it, because it's looking f*cking horrible!

relax. there's always GIMP. or photoshop... which is probably how these were generated. In any case, If I saw that 2018 'figure' walking around, I'd stare. While trying to figure out if the a*s were grown in a mold, like those cubical watermelons. Sorry to burst the fashion-bubble... but most guys have their own beauty standard. For me... it's more a question of things other than physical appearance. (okay... i think my partner is HOT, but that's not why I'm with her.)

Even with surgery. And the surgery is VERY dangerous. Any full anesthetic has a risk of death. Small but still there. Surgeons think they have told you this when they say " there is a risk with any surgery".... because that is what they mean..... sort of need a translator when talking to surgeons.

Agreed! It's not the perfect body at all. I certainly haven't jumped on the "booty gainz" train.

If all you watch is rap videos it's perfect

It's only surgically enhanced for people who aren't shaped like that naturally. My natural shape is like that, but i'd rather have an hourglass figure or slim-athletic. People always want what they don't have.

No, it's merely the Kardashians idea of a perfect body, not the American ideal.

@Nia I've just googled Top 10 Models on Instagram and the list has few that have this body type, the fact is that this body type is not the current "Perfect Body" it's just that there is more recognition that there other body types that appeal to different people(which is a good thing).

And Nicki Minaj, Amber Rose, and most Instagram models.

The numbers these days are all lies - there is no standard sizing across the board anymore in the fashion industry! Depending on the brand, I can wear a size 8 or 10 or 12, and even a 14!

Reason why I would never even attempt to buy clothes online today

And women are still using the excuse that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14! Compare todays measurements to a 14 in the seventies and you would be shocked. 36 27 38 are the measurements for a size 14 in the 70s on the back of a Simplicity pattern. 42 36 44.5 are the measurements for a current 14 in American sizing. Taking 42 36 44.5 measurements in the 70s and you would be a size 20.5

@Julie Day And that isn't even right anymore. I'm currently a size 14 and all 3 of my measurements are slightly larger than what you said. I'm more like 44 39 46, and the 14 fits me perfectly. I'm losing weight and started at a 22, so I just bought one of every size in the same brand and I'm running through them. Expected to have to lose about 15 more pounds than I did to fit into the 14, but here I am.

Surely not in Italy! :)

Because each of us has their own preferences? :) Honza is (ahoj, mimochodem) simply saying that he believes that majority of people in Europe wouldn't say that this is the perfect body.

Well, you probably find all of these examples sexy. All of them look good. There’s a difference between sexy and “standard,” you know what I mean?

Because you have great taste and like seeing a woman whom didn't look like all she had was a leaf of lettuce cause someone told her she'll get fat.

"Perfect" will be her original (first photo from gym) shape probably. Woman and girls here are mostly trying for fit figure, spending hours in gym, healthy eating and they want everyone to see it.

No idea how to tag Jasmine Walker, but models in the US are equally as unhealthy. Fashion models are about the same size as French models. Then the Victoria Secret models, although they look fit, they are on a ridiculous a*s diet, too, and all of them are also underweight.

Well, if models are based on European standards, then thin, I reckon. I don't live in Europe so idk if that changed. I just think of poor French models dying due to anorexia and bulimia. :(

I'd say her original figure or the mid 90s one.

Kim Kardashian is not obese by any reasonable standard. I don’t know what you are talking about.

@Nia. A physician of my acquaintance took one look at a photo of her and said, "Heart attack in 15 years or less. Unless she loses 40 pounds NOW." ...///... I'll listen to a physician, thanks. Or...where did you go to medical school again?

Agreed! 90% of womens pants don't fit me because my waist to hip ratio is too small. All I wear are leggings now. Taking in the hips and thighs on jeans is impossible because of the outer seam being an overlock stitch. It's much easier to take in the waist on jeans.

Used to be thinner until prednisone kicked me. Now I'm 44/40/46. No discernible waist. My belts are afraid when I try to put them on. They look at me and yell, 'please, no...what did we ever do to you!". I don't buy new belts. I just have hubby drill another hole in them when I want to wear a belt (which is getting less and less frequent these days). So now I wear only stretchy stuff on the top, and my jeans must have lycra/spandex in them. Fortunately my hubby loves me, warts and all. So I do my best, wear what I like, and wish for the 1400s when I would have fit in just fine (lol).

Where's the fun in that?

nah i'm fine. plenty of guys who aren't incels that like my look

Get a life and a sense of humour Jo .. lol

But a treadmill machine would be cheaper.

Plenty of women have large breasts naturally. My grandmother actually had to have hers reduced.

huge breasts have always been natural imagine having 3 stone of weight on your front - men would have had them removed

Diane A there hasn’t been ant peer reviewed research on how corsetin affects fad pads in the body, but I suspect you are correct.

Shaping was done from a young age for children in the 1800's - made to wear corsets from age 10. It constricted the waist, dissallowed fat from accumulating around the mid-section - it built up elsewhere. Hence the Victorian and Edwardian "tiny waist" naked - chunky body - tiny waist photos. Waist training did kind of work - although some socialites in the late 1800's had ribs removed to get the look

those victorian postcards are hillarious

Women from Africa have always had large breast. At least that is what all the ancient carvings of women indicate.

Sumo wrestlers are not healthy. They have joint problems due to the huge weight, and they train like crazy everyday to maintain their strength and stamina, which is the reason why they are not as broken as someone with their weight normally would be. Many of them become sick once they end their career.

Agreed. This is a scientific fact, don't get the downvotes.

You can, it is just less likely. There are plenty of healthy overweight people just like there are healthy smokers.

You can love your body but still try to lose weight.
