Body Shapes Of Women

Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   Are a pear or a straight body shape women more common than hourglass body shape in the world?
   I heard that pear or straight body shapes are more common in women than hourglass body shape.

   my bust is 32
   my waist is 24
   my hips is 34
   I'm a more of a pear shape than a hourglass.
   yes, this are the correct measurements. My mom put a ruler around my bust, waist, and hips.

   • ANSWER:
     Hour glass shaped women are the rarest shape in the world, and straight/banana, and apple shaped women are the most common because Asian women make up the vast majority of the population of the world's women and their population tends to have this body shape a large proportion of the time. Men also tend to hold these body shapes as well.

     The Pear shape is common between both black/hispanic/white women, and men do not hold this body shape so it is rarer.

     The hourglass shape is often held by hispanic/white women and some black women. So it's the rarest because A: only women can have this shape, and B: Caucasian people are the smallest pop. world wide, and black women tend to be more pear shaped, like Beyonce. I think the hourglass is only held by like under 10% of women.

     This is also the V shape with is actually very common in men, and some women who have a very large bust, but very slender hips, but for some reason it's not considered a shape most of the time so I don't know how common it is.

     Though keep in mind these are only averages, women of all colours are able to have any body shape, and all body shapes are beautiful in their own way.

     I am personally a pear 36 -27-38

     So the banana shape is the most common because both men and women share it. Furthermore, because Asian countries have a high population that others there are more Asian women who happen to usually have the banana shape.

     The Apple shape is the next most common because both men and women can have it. Again, it is common in Asian populations.

     The Pear is next because Black/white/Hispanic women tend to have this shape yet their populations aren't as big, and men don't usually have this shape.

     The hourglass is next as it usually pops up in Hispanic/white women who have the smallest populations, but black women are know to have it to, just not as much as pears. And men do not have hour glass shapes.

     Like I said before, any race of person can have any shape, these are simply the groups that tend to hold these shapes the most...

     The Pear and the apple are the hardest to find flattering clothes for, while the banana and the hourglass are the easiest. I have a very hard time finding dresses that look great on my, while my friend who is a banana can wear just about anything and look adorable.

9. QUESTION:
   Races of women and body shapes, what is the purpose of each considering their environment?
   For each race of woman can you explain what role her environment, culture, and society had in the body shape they possess?

   I have outlined below relative to each race what the usual body shape tend to be.

   I have noticed the bone structures and fat distribution different women tend to have based on race.

   Asian women have wide bone structures and flattened bodies and tend to be shorter than other races of women or petite. There body fat seems to be evenly distributed throughout their frames. They often times lack large breasts or buttocks that other race of women have. As they age and gain weight they grow horizontally or they get "wider."

   Older Asian woman
   

   African women tend to have narrow bone structures and they tend to be taller than other races of women or slender and tall. They tend to store less fat due to the fact that they possess a small bit more of muscle mass than other races. They store fat mostly in the hips, thighs and buttocks. They usually have very well defined waists. As they age and gain weight they grow :"outward" instead of wide.

   Older African woman
   

   Caucasian women have a wide bone structure as well although not as wide as Asian women but wider than African women. Caucasian women are usually of moderate height compared to petite or shorter Asian women and taller African women. Caucasian women tend to store fat mostly in their bosoms and hips. This usually produces the signature hour glass shape that mostly Caucasian women possess (I don't mean that it is superior but just something that is signature to Caucasian women but it shows up in other races as well although not as often). As they age and gain weight they tend to gain weight similar to Asian women as in they get "wide" although since their bone structure is not as wide as an Asian woman's in the first place they don't get as "wide."

   Young thin Caucasian women with typically moderately wide bone structures.

   Please don't be offended by any of these example or traits I have applied to each race of women. These are general and "usual" it doesn't mean that certain individuals within these racial groups won't deviate from these usual body shapes.

10. QUESTION:
    Is it true most males present time prefer skinny rather than the full-body women?
    I'm a slim person, actually I don't think something is special with my shape. I do not have the attention to make myself skinny but I always sleep late and couldn't have a time to eat enough. indeed, I admire the full-body women like anne hathaway, eva green or princess lalla salma of morocco and princess Madeleine of Sweden or the historian beauty like princess sissy of austria. I find those girls are extremely beautiful, glamour and princessy. but when I ask any guys if they do find those girls beautiful? they always answered " they are too fat, double chin" etc. and every time guys always like the skinny women or little girls who almost like the walking skeleton, what's that?

    I'm tall 168 cm and weight 44 k. almost no chests and butts but my boyfriend said I have a good shape?? and say those girls fat.........

    here is the pictures of the girls I like and my boyfriend finds they are too fat. -when someone asked him what shape of the woman he like? he always say. " I like good shape woman who isn't too skinny and too fat." but always the women shape that he finds not too skinny? they always very skinny and small for other people.

    here is the pictures of the girls he find they are way too fat.

13. QUESTION:
    [English express] Is “S-line” used for expressing “good body shape” of women?
    Hi!
    Now I am writing the advertisement copy for slimming gel in English. Though I search the sentence including “S-line” in many websites, it’s not easy. So, I am wondering if this expression (S-line) is not correct English. “S-line” is used for expressing and praising the good shape (body line) of women in Korea. So, I need to know whether this expression is Korean style expression or not. Is this expression used in English native countries? If not, could you recommend me other expressions to express the good body shape? I heard some expression (hourglass figure, in shape, …) from my friend. But, I am not sure. Your help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,Jeanie!

    “ Shape your bright S-line with anti-cellulite formula”(advertisment for body slimming gel)..Do you think this copy is correct or makes sense? If not, could you recommend other expression?
    I would like to send MEMO to Ms. Jeanie to ask more...But, i don't know how to send it on this site...

14. QUESTION:
    fashion magazine aimed at women - diversity of body shapes, sizes?
    do you think there is a gap in the market for a fashion magazine, aimed at young women, with a simple aim to represent a diversity of body shapes and sizes?

    • ANSWER:
      yes! definitely! i'd buy it
      but only if it actually HAS a diversity of body shapes. some magazines occasionally do articles about "real women" with "real bodies" and it always means they're fat. does this mean naturally skinny women aren't real? it's stupid. I eat loads but have a fast metabolism, so I'm a UK size 6/8 (I think that's an American 2? I'm not sure). I'm just as real as a girl who's size 12.

      as well as different sizes of women it'd be good if it had different body shapes as well. like apple, pear shaped etc as well as hourglass, boyish etc. usually you just see women with hourglass figures in magazines, or boyish figures like supermodels, because apparently those two are considered the most attractive. Different ethnicities would be good as well. Magazines usually only have whites and a few black people and it would be nice to see some variety.

15. QUESTION:
    What body shapes are there for women? Explanations of each body shape.?
    I have big boobs (d cup) and am skinny everyone else. I'm 5'5. What would that be classified as?

    • ANSWER:
      Do you tend to carry weight in both your upper and lower body, yet are more slender through the waist? Is there a significant difference between the circumference of your chest and your waist (or between your hips and waist)? Does your body appear balanced and curvaceous when you look in the mirror?

      If so, you are an HOURGLASS.

      Do you carry most of your weight in your hips, thighs and buttocks? Are you more slender on the top? Do you tend to gain weight or carry extra weight from the hips down? Do your eyes go directly to the lower half of your body when you look in the mirror?

      If so, you are a SPOON.

      Are you pretty much built straight up and down with very few curves? Is there little difference in the circumferences of your chest, waist and hips? Do you tend to put on weight around your midsection?

      If so, you are a RULER.

      Do you tend to carry most of your weight in your back, chest, arms and stomach? Are you more slender from the hips down?

      If so, you are a CONE.

17. QUESTION:
    What form of women’s body shape was preferred in medieval Europe?

    • ANSWER:
      As "respectable" women's bodies were generally covered in much of the Middle Ages--and in fact, the body in general was looked on as something shameful--a "body type" was not developed until the end of the Middle Ages and really not until the Renaissance. Indeed, as the body was considered the source of sin, it was generally idealized negatively.

      As such, to the degree that there was a beauty type, it tended to focus on the face. Much value was placed on a white complexion, an idea that survived until the twentieth century. Moreover, the mouth was considered the most sensual part of the body: full, red lips were a sign of sexuality. Gapped front teeth were also considered especially sensuous.

      You might want to look at several pieces of medieval literature to help. I would suggest "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," "The Romance of the Rose," and the The Wife of Bath's Tale in Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales."

      Cheers.

28. QUESTION:
    Is there any Latina women or White women who are BBW out there that find Asian guys attractive?
    The term BBW aka big beautiful women is a subjective, visually-determined concept that does not have an explicit lower or upper weight limitation, and may denote women who may be considered barely voluptuous to those who are quite large.

    The term has several near-synonyms with varying shades of meaning:

    Full-figured or Rubenesque - the latter term referring to the art of Peter Paul Rubens, best known for portraying full-bodied women.

    Voluptuous and zaftig usually connote ripeness, sensuality, and a body shape involving large breasts and wide hips.

29. QUESTION:
    What's the healthiest/ most feminine body shape for women? Confused...?
    Some places say hourglass, but i don't understand that, because:

    1) 60% of women are pear shaped, only about 9% are hourglasses. Women's bodies have developed into the 'pear shape' way for a reason.

    2) Fat distribution relies on hormones.
    Estrogenic= store fat below waist, on hips, butt, legs.
    Androgenic (male hormone) = store on waist, back/chest, shoulders, arms.

    Hourglass = store weight on shoulders, arms & back; caused by the male hormone.
    Pear = small shoulders, arms & back, caused by estrogen telling the body to store less weight there.

    Lower body fat (pears storre more than hourglasses) affects child bearing, usually.
    Recent studies show hip/butt/thigh fat (omega 3/6/9 fat) has protective properties towards babies in the womb.

    Upper body fat doesn't, & hourglasses store a lot of it.... They lay down equal amounts of upper & lower body fat.

    Babies are carried where we have more body fat. Narrower torso and wider lower body means carrying lower, and the baby often comes out more efficiently (note it's body shape, not size).

    2) Whereas breast fat is dormant in child bearing. It's the milk ducts (which estrogen causes) what do all the work.

    These glands (boobs) are just an upper body fat store women have, men don't. So if a woman stores upper body fat, she'll get a lot of breast fat.... Which is NOT to do with estrogen; upper body fat is sent there by androgens.

    Bigger boobs (more fat) have no advantage to breast feeding, infact, larger breasts tend to lead to difficulty. Small breasts don't.

    Beauty is signs of youth/ fertility, scientists say, as younger women are better child bearers.
    Large breasts drop a lot more than smaller ones after kids because of their weight, a giveaway sign your body's aged. Yet smaller boobs, stay higher, appearing more youthful/healthy.

    Thanks in advance.

    • ANSWER:
      I think a LOT of people do prefer the pear shape but mistake it for hourglass. I often hear Beyonce and Kim Kardashian referred to as hourglass, but they are actually pear shaped. Pears can still have big boobs (for their frame), but unlike hourglasses they have the narrow shoulders and small ribcages and don't store excess fat around upper arms and back.

      I'm a pear shape with small-average boobs. Not saying I wouldn't mind bigger boobs, but not at the expense of having a big ribcage, broad shoulders and flabby arms and back.

32. QUESTION:
    Body shapes...?
    OK, every male I know has a "V" shaped body or at least close to that. They could have a beer belly but still be relatively V shaped (not so wide at the hips).

    I, on the other hand, have a body shape that is what they call in women "apple shaped" or even pear shaped, which I do not find associated with men.

    Im not overexaggerating either. My body fat is below 5% and yet there seems to be a lot of fat attached to my hip that makes me look unattractive and not even close to "V" shape. And please dont just tell me its genetics and bone structure, because, well, that isnt it I think.

    • ANSWER:
      Don't some tv programmes come out with rubbish? There is no such thing as Perfect body shape for women.
      I suppose they think it would be a perfect world if every girl was a Barbie doll.
      According to many fashion and beauty experts and body measurement charts available in various health and fitness websites and journals, women with a 36 inch broad bust, 26 inch broad waist and 36 inch broad hips look gorgeous in almost every outfit. Thus, you can take 36"- 26"- 36" as the ideal body measurement for women.
      The truth is only 5% of women have this measurement.

34. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      It''s nothing different from a steak without the fat... except it's not as nutritious.

      It does nothing that ordinary food doesn't do... except that it costs you a great deal of money that *could* have been spent on simple, healthy food.

      Losing weight is a matter of eating less energy than you expend. Eat a little bit less and exercise a lot more... you'll lose weight - safely - without spending money on bullsh!t "supplements".

      (EDIT: Would the person who thumbed my answer down please tell me - and the Asker - what I've said above that isn't true?)

38. QUESTION:
    Why is it that women blaim the opressive body image women should have on the media where by the way except for
    the catwalk you only see women who are in shape with an healthy weight, although it is doctors who determine the % of bodyfat a woman should have. Dont you think those doctors who claim an average woman shouldnt exceed 150 lbs are to blame ?
    I did say EXCEPT for the catwalk. The catwalk alone aint the media. Model tend to be underweight indeed.

    • ANSWER:
      The catwalk is the extreme...as you've pointed out. Those women are merely 'clothes hangers' for the designers...they don't want a body getting in the way of their designs.

      The reason that the media is seen as the culprit is evidenced in the recent Brittney Spears mess. You couldn't read an article or hear a newscast that didn't make mention of her body shape or weight. Frankly (although I find her to be an embarassment on several fronts) I didn't think that she was 'fat'. She was not the tiny little thing that she used to be, certainly. And she probably should not have worn such a ridiculous outfit. But she wasn't fat. Yet that word kept cropping up.

43. QUESTION:
    What is the cause of some women having more androgen in their bodies than estrogen?
    Female shapes
    The Source, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, 1856Independent of fat percentage, weight or width, female body shapes are categorised into one of four elementary geometric shapes,[1] though there are very wide ranges of actual sizes within each shape:

    Apple (triangle downward)
    Apple shaped women have broad(er) shoulders compared to their (narrower) hips.[1] Women of this body type have (much) higher androgen levels compared to women with other body types[citation needed]. Because of this high androgen level, the skeleton develops in a very masculine pattern. Apple shaped women tend to have slim legs/thighs, while the abdomen and chest look out of proportion compared to the rest of the body. Fat is mainly distributed in the abdomen, chest, and face.
    Banana or straight (rectangular)
    The waist measurement is less than 9 inches smaller than the hips or bust measurement.[1] The body has a relatively high androgen level compared to the estrogen level[citation needed]; this causes the skeleton to develop in a bit more masculine pattern and body fat to be distributed predominantly in the abdomen, buttocks, chest, and face. This overall fat distribution creates the typical ruler (straight) shape.
    Pear or spoon or bell (triangle upward)
    The hip measurement is greater than the bust measurement.[1] The distribution of fat varies, with fat tending to deposit first in the buttocks, hips, and thighs. As body fat percentage increases, an increasing proportion of body fat is distributed around the waist and upper abdomen. The women of this body type tend to have a (relatively) larger rear, robust thighs, and a small(er) bosom.

    Mohini an avatar of Vishnu shows an hourglass body shape.Hourglass shape. (triangles opposing, facing in)
    The hip and bust are almost of equal size with a narrow waist.[1] Body fat distribution tends to be around both the upper body and lower body. This body type enlarges the arms, chest, hips, and rear before other parts, such as the waist and upper abdomen.
    A study of over 6,000 women carried out by researchers at the North Carolina State University around 2005 found that 46% were banana (rectangular), just over 20% pear, just under 14% apple, and 8% hourglass.[1] Another study has found "that the average woman's waistline had expanded by six inches since the 1950s" and that today women are taller and have bigger busts and hips than those of the 1950s.[1]

44. QUESTION:
    I just cant shake these body issues...?
    My partner and I have a beautiful and loving relationship.

    I truelly couldnt and wouldnt ever wish for or could even hope for a better person to share my life with. I love him with all of my heart and I know and am told every single day that I am the love of his life and he loves me too.

    My problem is, and I know that I am feeling like a "typical woman" as a friend told me.. I just dont feel as if I deserve to have my boy. He truelly is an amazing person, a very good looking man with a killer body.

    My problem is that I am on the shorter side, have big boobs that are just in my way sometimes, and have the pear shape woman body.. Our friends on the other hand have the gorgeous size 6 perfect hair everything, they are just gorgeous and I just cant shake the feeling of being unworthy and unsexy. We have sex every day thats not an issue and I couldnt be praised enough.

    I guess what I am asking is I want to learn, as a woman, how to appreciate my body and feel good within myself. And feel like I'm hot - like all our friends. I know that this sounds silly im just on a down buzz and dont quite know how to pick my (slightly bigger) bootay out of it!

    x
    Thank you. I guess in regards to what I think is beautiful is surrounded in that Hollywood image. Not being stick thin and the tanned and tall and flat tummy, I just dont feel like I deserve my 6-pack man. Its hard...

    When we are all swimming etc I dont want to wear a bikini and some tops etc just dont work because I look like Im falling out of them or it just makes me look bigger.

    Ahhhh

    • ANSWER:
      First of all, you (amongst many other woman in the world) have fallen into the Hollywood Women trap, basically, a trap which suggests you must be tall, tanned, curvy, big breasted and long wavy hair to be pretty, and that is pretty bullsh*t.

      Women come in all different shapes and sizes, some are tall and lanky, some are short and wide, some are curvy with a big bootay as you say You sound very pretty, and obviously your boyfriends thinks so as well!

      Use your curves to your advantage, you say you have big boobs, wear clothes that really show off your curves. I have the same problem as you, I am slightly overweight but have big boobs, and I do it all the time and I have no problem getting boys

      Your boyfriend sounds like a great guy, and obviously cares more about personality more than anything, so you don't really have anything to worry about.

      I hope I helped!
