I don't mind a fit girl but I just don't want it to over the top. Like the one at 10-12% is hideous. I'd rather die a virgin...and the one at 15-17% is kind of pushing it but still tappable. My preferred area is the 20-30%. Maybe these pictures are deceiving but damn the one at 30%...bustyyyyyyyyyyyy

Not sure :P

No no no lol  Once again, girls carry more bf% than males.  I was talking about males.  Males should aim for below 15% bf.  Women should aim for 18% imo. Although it is acceptable for men and women to have higher than what i said and still look good.

My fault.  I should have clarified :P

Yeh I go gym 5 days a week :P

Big Boobs It's hard to be consistant because height and muscle mass play an important role too. Shorter people can look fat with a lower % because they are stubby, and women store fat in their breasts, so large breated women will be skinnier with the same body fat percentage.

Plus muscles and bone density can change the appearance of a person slightly given the same body fat %.

25% is where I full out call them fat, not just a little fat, fat fat. 20% depends on the specific women, I would say some girls are a bit curby (meaning a little fat, but still good looking), 22% is where all girls look curvy (so fat, but still good looking). 25% and up is just gross.

If you're not fat, why do you need to loose weight? Is overweight not fat anymore?

That's not a well explained reason why women have more fat on them (but can pull it off). Women genetically store more fat to prepare them for childbirth. It's the same reasonwhy women have large a large pelvis (hip).

Since women have larger hips, they tend to have a larger ass to go with it, and with larger hips, you can have more belly fat before your skin starts to stretch.

Also I kinda agree with you on 15%, but I like a bit of fat on my girls, so that's why I like 18%. 15% looks good only on athletic girls, if the girl is just super skinny, it's a bit gross.

<15% it's a bit gross and stringy, I don't like that. 15-20% looks good.

Last I checked I was 16 %

I probably dropped a percent or so since.

If you want a gtood explanation on bf%

Lol, it's where my picture is sourced from. Good read, it's nice to read that 10-12% is a good sustainable level for men. I'm always worried that I'm too skinny because I look like the guy at 12% in that diagram (mind you, small difference in muscle distribution), and now I can feel good about myself.

Fuck, those lower abs are so hard to define, maybe I'm more then 12% because my abs are bigger, but I only have 4 distinct abs, and 2 kinda visible. Going to exercise with my gf more after I show her this, I think I might want to loose 1 or 2%, but she just needs some abs.

yay, me posting builtlean is finally paying off XD lol jk

You souind like you are an ectomorph.  Basically means you have a high metabolism and you store most of your fat in your belly.  The bad thing is it is harder to gain muscle being an ectomporph.  The good news is that you can lose weight quicker.  i also think ectomorphs tend to have a better looking body if they achieve it through hard work.  

You are likely around 12-14% bf if you cant see your bottom abs.  If you are lower than that and still cant see them try defining them through ab training.

WTH? You go from Average to Obese, without any step in overweight?

WTH? I'm an Athlete? LOL, I dunno about that. Well if I am, it makes sense that I want my girl in the upper athletic limit (like myself).

I kinda disagree with that chart there, it says for 25% "This is on the low end of what’s average for most women and is characterized by a shape that is neither too slim, nor overweight. Curves in the hips are usually more apparent along with more fat in the buttocks and thighs. A 5’4” women who weighs 130lb and has 97lb of lean body mass has 25% body fat." My girlfriend and Mom are 5'4" and they both agree that 11lb for their height is the upper limit of ideal. They are 100 and 110lb respectively, they admit they are skinnier then normal.
