After viewing and being surveyed on many different body types in our most recent class, it prompted me to think that there is in fact no ideal body type. Everyone in society is made, shaped, and built differently, but along with these different builds comes a difference in opinion as well. There are a variety of body types which can be viewed in a positive light. Whether curvy or cut, thick or thin, swole or slender, each different body type has those who find it appealing, and others who are not as attracted. There is no protocol which states what a "perfect" body looks like and humans will continue to drive themselves crazy attempting to achieve a constantly altering ideal. The in class surveying that we did was a brief display in the variety of opinions in the definition of attractive when dealing with the body, and it was interesting yet not suprising to see the broad spectrum of ideals. In conclusion, I feel as if the "ideal body type" will not be the same today as it will be tomorrow; therefore there is no reason in our unrealistic attempts at acheiving what we believe is a great body.
