US version:
bull and chit this is "ideal".
No way the U.S. version reflects anywhere's close to "ideal".
In fact most of the pics are b.s.
What does a "perfect body" look like? It depends who you ask -- and where they are.
UK online pharmacy Superdrug Online Doctors recently created a project called "Perceptions Of Perfection" that features 18 photoshopped images of the same woman. The company hired designers from countries around the world to photoshop a stock image via Shutterstock to reflect the beauty standards of their specific countries.
"Widely held perceptions of beauty and perfection can have a deep and lasting cultural impact on both women and men," a Superdrug press release reads. "The goal of this project is to better understand potentially unrealistic standards of beauty and to see how such pressures vary around the world."
The company asked 18 designers from 18 countries spanning five continents to photoshop an image of a woman to fit their perception of the culture's beauty standards. Below is the original image before the designers photoshopped it:
The designers photoshopped everything from the size of her waistline to shoe and hair color to mold the photo into the ideal body type of that culture.
Out of the 18 designers, 14 were women and four were men, according to Superdrug. In order to highlight a woman's perception of her culture's beauty standards, Superdrug asked the four male designers to photoshop the image based on messages women in their countries receive about what an ideal body should look like.
Some of the images appear only slightly altered, while in others, the original image is barely recognizable. Photos from China and Italy were dramatically photoshopped to have very thin legs and arms. Images from Colombia, Mexico and Peru reflect the traditional voluptuous beauty standards of those areas with tiny waists, large breasts and curvy hips.

Venezuela looks like an NFL linebacker.
That's Koolaid_Man's type of women right thereVenezuela looks like an NFL linebacker.
china... wtf ??!
Went in there expecting some patronizing feminist garbage and ended up being pretty believable. Guys like some thickness in the lower half and in the chest. They didn't do a good job with the head tho. On some of the skinnier ones it looks like she has a huge melon head
How do you not buy that? That's like the definition of an hourglass figureUS version:
bull and chit this is "ideal".
damn i hate thigh gaps. how the is that attractive?
^ better ventilation imho, so the pussy area wouldn't smell like with sweat, urine and whatever stuff.
SPAIN!
To begin with, the area horizontal from hip to hip and vertical from belly button to top of snatch is just wayy oversized. Her shoulders and below her chin/chest area are still mannish looking even with the photochop. Bear in mind, this is supposed to be "ideal". As for the horsey teeth and melon head, while i am not personally picking her apart, bear again this is supposed to "ideal"? GUAFB.
Our "Rate Her" thead has 10Xs better hourglassers.
This is weird.
The is wrong with China and Spain?
Asian version of Barbie doll, looks so fake and unreal tbh.
wtf lol
What was the point of this ty article?
photoshop can't fix everything....
I love how 10 of the 14 "designers" are women. How women see themselves and how men see women is completely different. Men are not nearly as hard to please as these women seem to think (and that's not even counting the photoshop results which make the special effects of the second Star Wars trilogy look real by comparison).
I beg to differ.
Hmmm. The countless threads here picking apart women's looks (and everything else) aren't started by women. But I suspect that the BOYS here who participate in the critiquing of women's appearances here can't hold the high standards they claim and pretty much settle for whatever is dumb enough to give them the time of day
Yes, you're right. That critiquing is just fantasizing. I've always said standards are much higher when looking online or on tv or movies. In real life we're much more lenientBut I suspect that the BOYS here who participate in the critiquing of women's appearances here can't hold the high standards they claim and pretty much settle for whatever is dumb enough to give them the time of day
My wife is the ideal woman.
