Adonis index? Perfect body?

[D-dude]

So I ran into this thing, "The Adonis index" which is supposed to be the waist to shoulder proportion that determines your ideal body.. My question is (mainly for the girls), is this real?

Do women really crave this kind of body?, for you to have an idea.. I'm 6'0'' (183cm) tall, so according to this, my shoulders should be 52in (132cm) and my waist should be 32in (81cm).. I think that 32in for a male waist is too small, what do you think?

Should I aim for a body like this?

I was trying to look up the general gist of it and all I found was a bunch of gimmicky-looking stuff, haha. Anyway, whatever the "ideal" is supposed to be, there are always going to be plenty of women who have different tastes. A 20 inch difference seems huge to me, especially considering that I keep dating "lean" guys who don't have relatively broad shoulders. A 32 inch waist does seem pretty small too, especially if that's not close to the size your body naturally leans toward.

My partner is the perfect ratio to me and he is 5' 11" with 45" shoulders and a waist of 35".

Broad shoulders are nice but unlike your waist you can't choose how big your bone structure is. Just putting loads of muscle on shoulders is not the answer either it looks false if you are naturally slim. The main thing is to be fit and healthy.

do you consider your partner's shoulders broad?

[annedechasse]

I do, I know a lot of guys with a lot less 'width'.

It's personally not the ideal body choice for me. I don't like the bulky look, never have and don't think I ever will. But if it's going to make YOU happy then do it.

It's not that bulky, but anyways, for you.. which would be the ideal body?

[djvtech]

It's nothing to do with bulk, it's ratio between shoulder and waist.

I googled it and all I got was pictures of buff guys

I know I find it accurate for what my ideal body is. Here's the adonis effect link
