What's the most attractive waist to hip ratio for women?

[Anonymous]

I read it was 0.7, but mine is 0.67. Is that bad? I have a 34 inch bust, 26 inch waist, and 39 inch hips. Opinions (more on the ratio rather than my measurements in specific- I know it's hard to see)? Thanks.

Initially men are drawn more to a woman with this ratio..It is proven by research (usually it indicates better health and child bearing).. but that doesn't mean a guy will find you any less attractive if your below OR above it, different men have different preferences. I think mine was 71, (probably because I'm fairly petite and have wider hips) 67 I would say is perfect, you have nothing to worry about.. some ones hip:waist ratio has nothing to do with long term attraction imo.

yes the ideal hips to waist ratio is 0.7 (or your waist being 70% the size of your hips). but anywhere from 0.6-0.7 is actually seen as very appealing. though also what goes along with this ideal measurement is also the ideal body type which is hourglass, so not only does the ideal have to have a hip to waist ratio of 0.7 but also the hips and bust measurement should be equal.

Bust size has very little to do with determining body shape, hourglass in particular. Evan underbust to hips is actually more important than bust to hips... unlike what all those amateur internet body shape calculators say, it's actually shoulder circumference that counts, not bust. In order to be a hourglass, your shoulders and hips must not be within 5% of each other. In addition to that, your waist also has to be at least 25% smaller than your hips and preferably shoulders (although around 30% produces that 0.68 ratio) .
You can have an equal bust and hip measurement but tiny or large shoulders which would make you a pear/inverted triangle.

mine's actually 0.7 lmfao that's hilarious. I haven't ever heard of a most attractive waist to hip ratio... but 0.67 is extremely close to this ideal that you're talking about, so I wouldn't be worried. and don't pay attention to such ratios... different women are built in different ways, yet are still attractive.

Well that's what they say, according to scientific research but does it mean someone will not date you because of it? Most certainly not.

Guys don't judge by numbers, they judge by appearance: attractive or not attractive

They say the perfect measurements are 36-24-36, the 12 inch difference makes for an hourglass

You're a pear.

Who really cares.

Eat right, live a healthy lifestyle and dress for your body type

What's the most attractive waist to hip ratio for women?

0.7

Is that bad?

Depends it's bad if you want the most attractive ratio because it means you don't have it.

Other than that no it's not bad.
