The truth about the perfect female body

A recent survey by Fabulous magazine has unearthed some surprising details about our quest for the perfect size eight figure.

Namely, according to men, the perfect figure isn’t a size 8. What? We have to be even thinner to pass muster?

No! Turns out that the majority of men like a lady with curves, wearing size 12s on her womanly hips.

Women’s top-rated bodies included:

• Myleene Klass (26%)
• Kelly Brook (22%)
• Gisele Bündchen (15%)

Men liked the curves even more, though:

• Kelly Brook (40%)
• Myleene Klass (15%)
• Just 1% said Kate Moss has the best celebrity body.

Turns out that while women are fretting and sweating every perceived imperfection, with 55% of us worrying our partners aren’t attracted to us, guys would prefer we relaxed and lightened up about it. The vast majority (77%) of men say yes when asked whether they wish women were more body confident.

So stressed we are, that 56% of us would consider liposuction. Meanwhile 58% of the men questioned were perfectly happy with their lady’s lovehandles.
