What shape is the perfect body shape to be?

Nobody knows what the perfect shape actually is, well the proof of that is absolutely everywhere, in magazines, television programmes (such as 10 years younger, how to look good naked,) and other contrasting opinions on how to be beautiful.

With 10 years younger, for example, women are apparently not allowed to age and get wrinkles as nature intended, are too fat or too thin or just plain ugly (unfortunately).

And with How to Look Good Naked, all women are perfect with a bit of spray tan and some make-up.

But when did such a society get so incredibly shallow, almost every woman cannot leave the house without make-up, I know I can’t which makes me slightly hypocritical, but at least I admit it, its because the media has got hold of me and shook the inside of me to make me think like everyone else and believe that beauty should revolve around in my life, not necessary unless you want to reproduce, because well, that’s the whole point according to nature. But has this taken such a subliminal message to such an extreme that we routinely and pointlessly spend thousands of pounds on a perfect image? And since when was being skinny attractive? Does it really matter to absolutely everyone that we should all be stick thin? Well since the media is central and everywhere in our lives I guess it’s up to them to decide on what we are supposed to look like. Because that’s society, controlling and if we step out of the norms, then we are put onto a television documentary like a circus freak so hopefully people avoid the ‘extremes’. Can’t anyone just accept that were only human and it’s the person inside that you like more than there actual appearance. Like why do women have to shave there legs and men don’t? What if you really can’t be bothered, yes there is personal hygiene, but it really is such an effort just to be redeemed acceptable in society.

Then again I suppose magazines Photoshop every model so ordinary women chase a never-ending journey to meet a perfection that doesn’t exist. But they still persist on trying to avoid ridicule by conforming to the ways the media has moulded society.

Any thoughts? Do you agree? Is the way we look controlled by everything around us and not our own tastes?
