🔍 what body shapes do men and women like: who likes curvy, who likes muscularity?
id: 10044773

👩 What do men think about the female body?
Despite the stereotype that “all men like model thinness,” tastes are much more varied.

📊 Polls are displayed:
42-45% of men prefer women with “natural” shapes - that is, not thin, but not too plump (like an “hourglass” or slightly plump).

25-30% of men like slender and athletic women.

15-20% admit that they find curvy shapes (including plus-size) beautiful.

Only about 5% believe that "the thinner, the better."

It is interesting that different age groups think differently:

Young guys (18-25 years old) often choose a "fitness" body type.

Men 30+ gravitate toward "feminine forms" - roundness, softness, warmth.

👨 What do women think about the male body?

Women are also not as clear-cut as it seems. The myth that everyone needs "abs and biceps" has long been shattered by reality.

📊 What the polls say:

38 - 40% of women prefer an athletic, but not pumped-up body - fitness, health, well-groomed.

30 - 35% like ordinary, "homey" men - without abs, but with a soft tummy and a cozy look.

20% of women choose a muscular physique, especially if it is combined with confidence and charisma.

Only 5-7% say that a man "should be like from a fitness magazine."

Age also plays a role:

Girls under 30 often choose fit men.

Women over 30 primarily look at warmth, confidence and grooming, and not just body shape.

💡 Why such results?

Fashion is changing: Now "naturalness", body positivity, self-confidence are popular.

Social networks have broadened tastes - more good and attractive in their own way.

Personality is important - body shape can be attractive, but behavior, voice, confidence make a person truly sexy.

🧠 Interesting fact

When people ask what kind of body they like more in real life (and not in a photo), real preferences turn out to be softer than "glossy standards." Charm, smell, facial expressions and voice - all this influences even more than the waist or biceps.

✅ Conclusion
There is no universal answer to the question "which body is better".
But most men and women choose "live", natural bodies, with smooth lines, individuality and self-confidence.
Beauty is not only in shape, but in how a person carries himself.

So do not chase someone else's ideal. Better be the best in your rating - and your "percentages" will always be constant. 😉
