If you're over a century and your body is still breathing, you're in fine shape. :wink:

IMHO it is easier for men to be men when women aren't so perfect.

The article seems to me to be a bit oversimplified and arbitrary in who it picks to represent each decade or decades.

If half the population are overweight because of the junk they make us eat, I wouldn't say that changes the perfect body, just the body average.

Like wise, those in the media who decide what we should consider to be the perfect body might change their minds from time to time, but if you want to know what the perfect body is, ask a man.

Why is that?

What I meant is how the perception of the perfect female figure has changed over time.
