Here's what men and women really think about beauty standards in the media
from Northwestern University’s Body and Media Lab updated the methods of these two studies to directly test the claim that women find the bodies of very thin fashion models attractive, but men find them too skinny. Results of this new research demonstrated that both men and women overestimated how attractive the otherThe original studies on this topic used what’s called a figure rating scale: a set of simple line drawings showing silhouettes of women who varied from very thin to heavy.
Women indicated which of the body shapes they preferred and which one they believed men would like most. Men selected the female body shape they found most attractive. The researchers found that men tended to prefer a heavier body than women believed men preferred, and a heavier body than women preferred for themselves. These results were frequently interpreted to mean that men do not really like the body shape typical of female fashion models, and that women who think they do are wrong.
Results of both studies pointed to the same conclusion: Women greatly overestimated how ideal men would find the bodies of the female fashion models. However, men’s guesses about how women would feel about the fashion models’ bodies were also inaccurate. Basically, men seemed to think that women believe fashion models have the ideal body shape and women assumed that men feel the same way. In reality, both men and women tended to report that the models were too thin.
