The Ideal Size
One of the greatest questions of our time–What is the ideal size for women?–needs to be answered. In this study, it claims that overall, men seem to like a woman of about a size 12, when women’s idea body sizes are actually an 8. Maybe I might be confused because I am from LA, but here the ideal size for a woman is 2 and men prefer a 6 because there’s a chance women will have tits. Here at F-listed we decided to tackle this issue and you’re going to help us!
Which is your ideal size, take the poll after the jump and let us know why you chose what you chose in the comments section>>>
[polldaddy poll=1790065]
Who cares 8,12 or 16 It’s who she is that matters
As long as you can’t see ribs, or her thighs aren’t as skinny as her legs, or her back doesn’t extend to just below the butt then were fine. Rule of thumb: Shape is a must! This competition isn’t fair though because the size 8 girl is the most attractive, face-wise, therefore, the results you’re asking for will be easily persuaded towards her.
It’s obvious that only the girl in the middle is in good physical condition. She looks like she could run two miles, or play 3 sets of tennis or do 30 situps.
The other two are out of shape, and that is what the hell is wrong with all these lazy cookie-dough-ice cream eating oprah lovin’ The Hills watchin’ bitches these days.
A woman should be the size that she feels good at physically and mentally/emotionally. if she is happy at an 8 then she should be an 8. if she feels good at a 16 or over then that is what she should be. you can be bigger and still be healthy, and my doctor tells me so and my husband loves me just the way i am……
From The New Yorker magazine:
Women are now on average nineteen pounds heavier than they were in the late seventies
The proportion of overweight children, age six to eleven, has more than doubled.
The proportion of overweight adolescents, age twelve to nineteen, has more than tripled.
According to the standards of the United States military, forty per cent of young women weigh too much to enlist.
As the average person became heavier, the very heavy became heavier still; more than twelve million Americans now have a body-mass index greater than forty, which, for someone who is five feet nine, entails weighing more than two hundred and seventy pounds.
Hospitals have had to buy special wheelchairs and operating tables to accommodate the obese.
Revolving doors have had to be widened—the typical door went from about ten feet to about twelve feet across.
An Indiana company called Goliath Casket has begun offering triple-wide coffins with reinforced hinges that can hold up to eleven hundred pounds.
It has been estimated that Americans’ extra bulk costs the airlines a quarter of a billion dollars’ worth of jet fuel annually.
5’4″ MAX
35″ hips MAX
my wife makes the cut with room to spare, and Im 66″ – and a bit.
make that 6 foot 6 [typo]
Grandma always said, “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone.” That said, I reject outright bitches with fucked off attitudes, which turns me off roughly as fast as herpes sores.
Otherwise, all things being equal, they can all get it.
Hallelujah Mr. Spiegel – Well said
Alot of good points here, but really thats funny to say “Size 6 & Smaller–You’re supposed to be smaller than the man”… Here in Texas if you aren’t bigger than a woman size 8 or 12 I don’t think most women consider you much of a man at all. hahahahah How could you think a guy the size of a size 6 woman was really a man. You guys crack me up, hahahaha.
If you are toned, I don’t think size is really a factor. You can tell a woman that works out and takes care of herself regardless of her size. The other factor is height. I’m 5 8″ with long legs and I have a butt that has to fig into into my jeans (but that’s another story altogether). I just think there is more to than size b/c a size 8 at 5′ 2″ is a lot different than at 5′ 10″
Size doesn’t have much to do with it…
it’s about how you’re shaped.
I’m about 150 lbs; I’m rather big boned and have hips and big boobs. But most people guess I’m around 130 lbs. The size and the lbs isn’t really an issue… it’s just how it looks. a nice hourglass is a nice hourglass.
Beautiful on the inside and all that etc but if we’re being purely shallow and analytical then it must depend upon proportion. At 5ft8in or thereabouts – (mostly legs) a size 8 will look slender. On 5ft4in a size 8 might look curvaceous. The examples in the picture above would be easier to compare and contrast if they were all the same height and had bags over their heads (not that they’re ugly – they clearly aren’t).
size should be no benchmark..if a chick is a size 12 with a jessica rabbit shape ill take her over a pudgy size 8…it depends on the girl..her body shape..how she looks and her own confidence
Lame poll..try again
I agree with most of the comments. I am 5 foot even and a size 5. I think I weigh about 135. If I gain any weight I will not look good. My ideal is a size 3 about 120 lbs but you know it is difficulot for an athletic, muscular woman to get there. I also lose so much of my shape, I think Kim K curves are amazing and I like to keep them! Very short women like toni braxton and christina A are size 0 but they are tiny. That same size on taller women is emaciated!
Natasha: Hourglass-shaped = I can dig it.
dee: I generally concur. Confidence, carriage, and dressing to suit body type count for a lot.
cate: Purely shallow? I really do like all three — pretty faces, sweet smiles — but forced to choose, I choose Anna Size 12 fairly easily. jamman likes Tillie Size 8…hey, that’s fine. I don’t dislike her or Caroline Size 16, just that I like a woman I could hug and not worry about crushing, or worry my arms wouldn’t get all the way around.
Trying to be healthy is a given, but otherwise woman should try to accentuate their good features, which means curvy in some cases and more athletic in others, depending on age, genetics, frame type and similar factors. The current trend of every woman in the U.S. trying to look like a super-skinny Jennifer Aniston or Lindsay Lohan is absurd, and has led to great natural beauties such as Jennifer Connelly ruining their prior perfect bodies and looks. Not many women look good 20 lbs below their ideal weight, and boob jobs make them look worse, not better.
I think size depends on the frame of the girl. There are girls who are just naturally really small. It doesn’t make them anorexic, and the few I know are in really good shape and extremely attractive. Its the same with big frames. I know a lot of gorgeous women who are quite a bit bigger than ‘ideal’.
Dress size is so misleading. I have dated women who wore a size 6 and had more curves than a woman who wore a size 8. I love curves on a woman, but only in certain places. If a womans stomache sticks out more than her breast and her butt, its a deal breaker. A womans posture is very important also, bad posture no deal!
well it’s all a big lie because those girls are airbrushed. if they really thought it was “ok” to be a size 12 then they wouldn’t have air brushed her legs and ass. you’d be lucky to be a size 4 and not have cellulite. men might not know this to be true because they never have any themselves but you have to have very very low body fat to have no cellulite (or be that special 5% of women that just doesn’t have it). But I think over all muscle tone and body fat percentage matter much more than size or even weight.
the girl in the middle is not a size 8. she is at the most a size 4
The girl in the middle is hot
Doesn’t have to be bones, but slender is nice
i said size 6 or less cause i am 5’9″ and can’t manage to get over 115 lbs. i would love to be a size six if i could. i exercise and my arms and legs are larger than the model you are showing as a size 8, um???? my mom was a size 12 her whole life, she had seven kids and returned to a size twelve everytime, she always looked amazing and healthy:)

Like age, size is just a fucking number. I’m not bringing out a damn sizing chart when I meet a woman. The only ones who do that are pretentious idiots. Me? Caroline actually looks the hottest and she’s ‘the biggest’. Tillie is nice looking but its all about charisma, people.
Oh and BTW, sizes are actually arbitrary. A ’2′ in LA might actually be a ’6′ (or more) elsewhere. Why? Simple. MONEY. Women are not going to buy a dress if they think their too fat. Hell, the boutiques want to sell dresses not judge your fat ass. That’s why Jennifer Love Hewitt is mysteriously a ’2′.
I am pretty sure JLH is a mysterious size 2 because she has her people remove the tags on her size 6/7 clothes. Mystery Solved! I should take Robert Stack’s place in the new Unsolved Mysteries CAUSE I AM FILLED WITH SOLUTIONS!
This picture is actually from a British magazine, and their sizes are a bit different than ours here in the US. Not that it makes a huge difference, but in America, these women would be sized 8/10, 4/6, and 12/14, respectively.
They’ve done other studies and have determined that women want to be a 2, the average woman is a 14, and the average man wants between a 6 and a 10, depending on his region of the country.
im exactly the same as Natasha. im 5’4, 150lbs but my measurements are 38, 28, 36.
dont forget girl, if your boobs are a DD, like mine, its and extra 8-10lbs right there.
Quite the lively discussion we have going on here. My point behind this is health. I was raised in a fat family and when I see someone constantly talk about the new diet they’re going to start “next week” as the munch on cookies and cupcakes, it really does bother me. way to much water under THAT bridge! Sherri on The View keeps yapping about getting into a swimsuit this summer, yet is always grazing on those damn muffins and cookies. People, “we” are sick and tired of hearing that. Do it or shut up about it. The fact that she is quite a slender woman goes by the wayside – her bust is enormous and she [like my wife] can’t see beyond it. Now my wife, I married a woman who A} knows how to cook and B} knows Mac N Cheese is not real food and should be left in the store. These 3 women shown here are not fat. The women in MY area who go into a store, head straight for the Kraft Dinner mac N Cheese then to the diet soda isle – they’re fat. Like 5’2″ and 300 lbs fat. Yes my wife will say its natural for a woman to put on some weight as they age, and in the 35 years + 2 kids since high school her 5’3″ 118lb frame has gone up by 20 lbs, which she hates, but it went to the Swedish area of her body and like Sherri….
But come on, if you’re 18 years old and you lumber around in a 250 lb body – what the devil are you going to look like when you’re 40? And I may be able to dig out a link from Wednesday telling of how our medicare system here in Canada is being compromised by 40 year olds in dire need of knee and hip replacement surgery.
So my message to the Cup Cake Cuties out there who say “I’m an adult and you can’t tell me what to eat!”. Enjoy being divorced and fantasize about the Golden Years Retirement you will NEVER have. Care to know how many I’ve buried from my high school class by age 50 from heart disease alone? The school population from K-12 was 200, and I’m getting close to double digit numbers from a room of 35 kids.
But these 3 women shown are not fat. My 5’9″ 325 lb neighbor, 30 years old, can hardly walk across the street because of her knees – SHE is fat! [and so is Kim Lardass and her Size Two Axe Handles wide ass]

People, this is a British magazine so it’s British sizing. The size 8 girl is a US size 4, the 12 a US 8 and the 16 a US 12. Make a bit more sense, now?
I don’t discriminate. I’d hit all 3. Preferably all together.
I like looking at the human body without the clothes. God has made each body so very unique and interesting. All three of the body sizes in the photo look great. But, I will not be trading them for my wife. The human body at every size is very artistic and enjoyable to look at. There was not an all of the above answer to use. So, I just chose the middle road. With size 12. That does not mean that she will have the brains or the attitude to go with the package.
Why is it always women getting placed on the pedestal to lose weight or to have our bodies judged??? How about all the men, right now, take their fucking clothes off and lets see how many of you fat ass, overweight, receeding hairlined, cow lick, bozo the clown looking, fuckfaces out there are actually hot naked! Hmmmm, probably slim to none! Give all women a break and just shut the fuck up and be happy you’re getting laid by a woman thats a size 2 or a 12!
Katrina sounds defensive. She must be a fatty.
Well I have to say I always thought skinny was attractive, and had been naturally thin 5’6 and 100 lbs most of my life…..after kids I am now 5’6 and 130 and I get way more compliments and looks now that I am what I consider heavier ( and older), for me, at a size 8……I have struggled with losing the weight because I feel heavy, but when I get down to 125 I start to lose my curves. Most women cant have a chest and butt and be thin without surgery. I have decided to keep the extra weight and do light weight lifting to tone, and I run 3 miles a day, still stopping traffic !~
I am 5ft8″ weigh 11st7lb, i am considered to be moderately overweight but i look amazing! I have an hourglass figure. my ‘added weight’ comes from exercise. I go to the gym 3 times a week for an hour at a time and I play rugby. I am a size 12. I have a sexy ass, 34G sized boobs, and a small waist. I like many women have off days about my body but my fiancé and all my friends (male and female) think i am what a woman should be.
