Most women wish for a perfect body. A woman with a perfect body attracts other people’s admiration and respect. We spent a lot of time and energy on dieting and exercising to achieve a perfect body shape and to avoid other people’s comments on our imperfections.
What is a perfect body shape? Who sets the standard? I think we all agree that a body shape that attracts most admiration from most peoples is the winner at that moment. But what about in the next 5 or 10 years? Based on the past, the perfect body shape changes every decade. Look at 50s and Marilyn Monroe, would her body be considered perfect now? What about Roman statues of well-rounded women or Twiggy’s slimness in the 60s. Thousand years back, the most attractive women were the ones that were most well-rounded.
So are men really attracted to the most popular body shape at the current moment or do they have each different preferences? From my own experience, I’m far from the current image of a perfect body while my partner finds me very desirable. To be honest, I've never in my life matched the perfect body image of that time and I've never had a problem with my boyfriends complaining about my body shape. Is it because I was their type rather than the popular choice?
I asked myself who is more important to find me desirable, is it my man or the public? I chose my man! I realised that it is all it counts, the public does not do anything for me, my man does! Why should I worry about the public’s opinion if they are not the ones that make me happy, care about me and love me? Since then, I decided that I will not worry about my body shape because there is a man out there that loves the way it is.
