Although an opinion on what is considered an ideal female figure varies across time and culture, there are some
universal attributes associated with the perfect woman body. Most of them are applied subconsciously.
In the following article we are going to describe the most important
of female characteristics. When woman has most features mentioned
below, she is perceived as attractive. Whether your ideal looks like

Face
Unlike the body,
perfect face measurements are in fact an average proportions.
For example an eye to eye distance shouldn’t be too large nor too
small. The same applies to other facial dimensions. This fact was
confirmed by a University of Toronto study.
And what are the ‘magic’ average values?
If
100% is overall face width, distance between the centers of the eyes
should be 46%. And if overall face height is 100% on our scale, distance
between the center of mouth and center of eyes should be 36%. Several female celebrities are close to these number, e.g. Jessica Alba and Shania Twain.
Breast size
On the ideal breast size, there is no consensus. Men tend to
overestimate the bust size they desire in women and Western civilization
in general promotes rather bigger breasts. However attractiveness is
almost always assessed to the perfect balance in the size of the bust
and hips, while waist is visibly thinner.
Breast shape
I fact, the shape of breasts is more important than their size. As a symbol of youth, firm bust is more desired than saggy.
Firm shape is commonly called ‘perky breasts’. If woman has smaller cup size, there should be no fold under her breasts (famous
‘pencil test’).
However from certain sizes, small fold is inevitable in order to look
natural. The bigger the breasts the bigger fold under them is still not
considered unattractive. Shape also changes depending on posture of
woman.
What escapes most people’s attention is the so-called
‘breast ratio’. Researchers discovered that
the upper half of breast should make 45% of the total breast volume and a lower half 55%.
In practice, this means that even firm natural bust is without convex
shape in upper half (woman without bra). Only while wearing a bra or
other supportive lingerie, convex shape is present also on the upper
half of breast.
Nipples should point upwards at an slight angle of 20 degrees. But these are average values of attractive bust not strict criterias.
The 3 reason, why some breast implants don’t look natural
1 – Shape remains the same whether the woman is standing, lying or bending (unnatural firmness)
2 – Even big bust has no fold on the bottom (unnatural firmness)
3 – They look like big balls (ignoring natural breast ration)
Legs
Long straight legs are perceived as attractive. There were many
debates whether there should or shouldn’t be a gap between the thighs.
But we are sure that you can find both cases to be attractive.
Hips and buttocks
Compared to a men, a women should have wider hips and bigger butt to
look feminine. Once more, the shape is more important than size. Firm
round butt cheeks are perceived sexually attractive. Often mentioned is
the so-called
‘heart shaped ass’. Bottom curve of each
cheek is rounded and in ideal case also inner curves are slightly
rounded (give an impression that cheeks are pressing against each
other). This results in buttocks having shape of inverted heart.
Belly
Flat belly is another proof of youth and fitness and therefore considered to be attribute of beauty. Slim waist is part of the
‘hourglass figure’ and unlike in men, there is really no need for having ‘six-pack’ lean muscles on it.
