Researchers have computed the perfect body size for both men and women by using a special 3D design program.

They found remarkable similarities in what men and women find attractive, but also what they perceive to be attractive in their own sex.

Both sexes are attracted to bodies that are considered to be “healthy” sized by today’s standards. The female body needs to be slim and the male body needs to be big and muscular.

But people put too much value on unusually large upper bodies. For example women wished they had bigger breasts while men wished they had beefed up chest muscles. (MedicalExpress.com)
