The ancient Greeks, who literally built into the cult of physical perfection, there were a few other ideas about female beauty ideals. Of course, they did not like too lush, stout ladies, like those in many centuries loved to portray the famous painter Rubens. But also fragile, thin woman admires the Egyptians would not be considered their beauties. The Greeks believed that a beautiful woman should be slim, but slightly rounded, it was then that she could best fulfill its primary responsibility - to give birth and bring up healthy children. For example, the parameters of the famous Venus de Milo are very far from the classic 90 - 60 - 90. The statue, which has become the standard of female beauty among the ancient Greeks, with growth of 164 centimeters is 86 centimeters chest, waist - 69 inches and hips - 93 cm.
Well, the idea of female beauty that prevailed in medieval China, may seem today, just shocking. They think that the figure of the ideal woman represents a "harmony of straight lines", and her leg has to be tiny in size. Therefore, the poor girls who were born in the wealthy and the noble families, was a real torture. Since childhood they perebintovyvali tight legs, almost pressing her fingers to the sole. And before puberty, and even started to compress the upper torso tight corset to the chest remained flat. And this went on for years. One can easily imagine what physical and mental suffering experienced unfortunate girls who are forced to tolerate such mockery! And all because someone had decided that such is the ideal of feminine beauty of Chinese women.
Nowadays, as already mentioned, the European nations and in North America the ideal female figure is the one whose parameters are close to 90-60-90. Of course, in this case a woman, claiming the title of beauty, should have regular features, clean healthy skin, healthy teeth and thick hair.
