In General: The North Americans women seem to like a BMI at around 26. They also like to have little body fat. Two famous body shapes are ectomorph and mesomorph. Ectomorph is a lean and angular body shape, with long limbs, and a slender, slim, narrow waist. Ectomorphs can lose weight easily and have lower levels of body fat but find it more difficult to gain lean muscle mass. Mesomorph is a strong athletic body type, with a muscular build, well-developed shoulders and slim hips. Mesomorphs have a faster metabolism than other body types and can lose weight and gain muscle mass easily. Women also prefer to have a bigger bust size because of the preferences of men.
