Your Chance to Put a Face to Ideal Body Measurements

Ok, I know I am dating myself with these two picture, but I know the question is timeless (and personal). Throughout this web site I have given all kinds of "ideal weight charts." Now through pictures, I hope to show that these numbers are just goals and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Arnold Schwarzenegger about 1975
Paul Newman about 1967 in "Cool Hand Luke"
Does Taylor Swift have an ideal body?
Or does Dolly Pardon have an ideal body?


This idea came to me while watching TV the other day. It struck me that Taylor Swift seemed too thin. Of course I am an old 58 year old man. Maybe if I was 18 I would think she had the ideal body. Ideal measurements, ideal weight...sometimes it is good to just look at individuals to see that there are many ideals.

Who do you think has the ideal measurements ?

  • Taylor Swift or Dolly Pardon?
  • Paul Newman or Arnold Schwarzenegger?
  • Give a more updated version.

I hope you are beginning to see that there is no such thing as perfect.


Have A Great Story About This Topic?

Do you have a great story about this? Share it! Who do you think has a great body? I would particularly like for men to comment about women and women to comment about men so the opposite sex has an idea of what the other thinks. Pictures would be great also.
