Surely you have had a few seconds to choose the type of female figure that seems most appealing to you. And if you are a woman, you probably chose the first or second photo. This is understandable: today all women want to be skinny.

Very thin like Thin I like it.

Total like 10% of men 28% of women 17% of men 52% of women 53% of men 17% of women 20% of men 3% of women It's impossible not to notice that in recent decades, actresses, not to mention models, have become much thinner. If in the 50's and even 70's among the stars there were still actresses with ordinary female figures, now they are almost not there. Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, Catherine Deneuve - beautiful, slender, smart. But thin? Hardly. We have Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina, Galina Polskikh, Alla Pugacheva. Compare them with the heroines of the XXI century: Uma Thurman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sarah Jessica Parker, Irina Apeksimova, Larisa Verbitskaya. Those who are not gifted with leanness by nature, sit on endless diets. American studies have shown that the current stars weigh 10-15 kg less than the heroines of the 80s of last century, and about 25% less than ordinary women. The idea, as they say, is in the air: to be beautiful, one must be skinny. But is it really so? To find out, we conducted our own poll. 400 men and women aged 25 to 40 years answered the question of which female figure can be considered ideal. And that's surprising: the vast majority of women considered the ideal first or second type of figure. But the male opinion turned out to be diametrically opposed! More than half of the male representatives chose the third photo, and one in five considered ideal the most complete figure.

The results of the survey show two things. First, men and women differently imagine the ideal of feminine beauty. Secondly, many women are too strict about themselves and each other. We complex because of supposedly extra pounds. But in fact, the complex is not because men seem unattractive rounded forms. And because we ourselves do not know how to love our body and live in harmony with it. This does not mean that you need to relax and give up on your figure. You just need to accept that leanness is absolutely not a prerequisite for beauty and charm. And health, self-confidence and optimism are conditions, on the contrary, mandatory.
