What is the Perfect Body?

What would you say is considered the "perfect" body? People say that they always wanted the “perfect body”! This is to the point that teenagers want to look like the super models on television and internet.

Whether it is Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, just to name a few, a look at any form of social media can declare a perfect body type. For a female to be referred to sexy and attractive, most people would say that if a girl is curvy, is intelligent, and has a nice smile or laugh. “The perfect female body” is shown below with a girl being positioned seductively, with big breasts and butt and have a thin body. For a male to be attractive, most people would say that if a guy is good body, good hair, a nice smile, and a drive. In the image below is of a guy that Google shows when searching for “the perfect male body.” He is shown to be masculine with muscles exposed with his shirt off. Both of these images leave little to the imagination, making the woman look more like and object and the man very dominant. These are some of what people find attractive in others. But these are just stereotypes, right?

From advertising companies, they mostly have ads containing sexy women opposed to a more unattractive or out of shape female. Someone would pay more attention to the top image of females then of the bottom picture of a few different body types of females. All of the females are thin with barely any clothes on. Compared to the bottom picture, more would agree that the perfect body is just what the ad states.
