Beauty is more than skin deep, but there’s no denying the joy we experience when we see something truly beautiful. While it’s important not to judge others solely on their appearance, it’s natural to appreciate beauty when we encounter it.
However, society’s perception of beauty has changed significantly over time. Take a trip down memory lane and think about the concept of the “perfect woman” 70 years ago. Marilyn Monroe is one of the first icons that comes to mind. But if we go back even further, we find a completely different idea of what a woman should look like.
Over the years, the ideal female body has shifted from one decade to the next. In the 80s, curvy and athletic women were in demand, while the 90s saw a preference for thin and almost translucent skin. Today, science has taken the reigns in defining what is considered the ideal female form.
Researchers from the University of Texas conducted a study to uncover the scientific truth behind the beauty of a female body. In contemporary standards, they determined that the ideal woman is approximately 1.68 meters tall, with measurements of 99 cm (bust), 63 cm (waist), and 91 cm (hips). If you’re picturing someone who fits these criteria, look no further than Kelly Brooks. She is a well-known model, actress, and personality who has become the embodiment of the scientifically perfect body.
Interestingly, Kelly Brooks faced hurdles at the beginning of her modeling career because she was considered too “plump” by the standards of many agencies. However, as times changed, she found success in the fashion and modeling industry. In fact, she was crowned the “sexiest woman alive” in 2005. Brooks has gone on to have a thriving career and now represents the poster girl for what science deems perfect.
The 99-63-91 specifications, which represent an hourglass figure, are associated with studies that show men are attracted to curvier women. This preference may stem from the association of curviness with fertility. However, it’s important to remember that fertility is much more complex than body type alone. Even a woman with the scientifically perfect body may face fertility challenges.
Ultimately, beauty is subjective and lies in the eyes of the beholder. While science offers its insights, it doesn’t dictate personal opinions. So, let’s appreciate and celebrate the diversity of beauty in all its forms.
