Waist-Hip Ratio

As usual, browse wikipedia and stumble a artical about physical attractiveness. Nice to read but I think that physical attractiveness is individual preference. Some people like this, some people like that. Up to you what kind of homo sepien you like.

But one this that interest me is the waist-hip ratio(WHR). It is the ration of the waist to that of the hip. The ratio determine how attractive female/male to male/female. Its said that a WHR of 7.0 for female and 0.9 for male have been shown to correlate strongly with general health and fertility. Women within the 0.7 range have optimal levels of estrogen and are less susceptible to major diseases and men with WHRs around 0.9, similarly, have been shown to be more healthy and fertile.

WHR is also considered to be a factor in physical attractiveness. Its shown that most men regardless of culture, race or religion or skin often rated women with a WHR of 0.7 to be attractive. Cool right. Its okay if you are skinny or fat but if your WHR is 0.7 for women and 0.9 for men its mean you are attractive. So everyone try to achive that WHR.

I have check my : My WHR is 0.8( I not attractive..Sad..) and i am a pear-shaped body.

Go to this website so see what kind of body you have :
