The Perfectly Sized Couple

Naomi Campbell represents the ideal body size for a woman.

Christian Bale represents the perfect body type for a man

According to a recent article in The Independent, the ideal female body shape can be best represented by Naomi Campbell. Some researchers from Poland studied the body types of beauty contestants and compared them with other women to discern what body part sizes are considered most attractive. They looked at bust to height, thigh to height, and waist to hip ratios to help determine what the ideal attractive person would look like.

A little surprising that they chose Naomi Campbell, since she hasn’t been the most popular fashion model in the last few years. I didn’t know that models were really so different that she would be singled out. Bale’s an obvious choice, though. As long as you can keep images of American Psycho out of your mind, you should be able to see why he’s tops (sorry Brad).

    It bothers me that they look at models (who usually have eating disorders) as the ideal body types. Naomi looks okay, but some of these models are skin and bones. That should not be the goal to attain.
