Asking 'what is considered the ideal body type for women in your country?' one Quora user asked others users from countries such as Bulgaria, Egypt, Switzerland and the USA to come forward. Here's what they had to say.
In Bangladesh, the "educated society" would agree with "modest and courtly personality and lifestyle, fair complexion, sharp nose, big eyes and thick eyebrows, moderately curvy physique and at least 5'2" tall."
A user from France says "I'd say, French is a mix of fashion model standard beauty with a girl next door kind of vibe. Can even be tomboy. Big boobs are overrated, small boobs for the win!" Charlotte Gainsbourg fits the French 'type'.
"Tall, curvy, blonde and blue eyes (though light brown eyes are also really popular), and either fair skin or tanned." A USA user said. Kesha is his ideal woman.
The 'Marilyn Monroe of Egypt', actress Hind Rostom was once upon a time considered the ideal.?"Nowadays in Egypt, there isn’t a preferable ideal body type for women although you'll find that the curvy, large breasted woman was most people’s favorite throughout the years."
A Swiss student reckons the ideal probably applies to a lot of European countries. "Rather thin women, middle-tall, fair eyes, brown hair usually (but this really depends). Claudia Schiffer fits the European ideal”.
