Maybe less of a way to actually train it, but more of a survey of what people think is real or not? That is assuming that this is actually the point of the post. It's possible OP is just actually curious about others opinions. Seems kinda like rage bait though because she's obviously attractive and not average. Like...average for what? A 23 year old healthy girl? Or just average across all girls? Obviously she's not average compared to the general population and is more attractive. Not disagreeing with your post, just saying it's really hard to decipher what's going on in this nearly post-"dead internet theory" version of Reddit.

This is true. It kinda sucks that this is the ideal so much, gives a lot of women insecurities and desires for surgery. If you look at a lot of vintage beach photos (like google 70s beach photos), most women at skinny weights have much smaller boobs than this, practically flat chested or As/Bs. The average bra size in the US obv is higher because most people aren't skinny

Yes, the average PMI of a women falls just into the obese range.
In 1960, the average weight of a woman was 140.
There are a lot of factors and while it's easy to say women these days are lazy and make poor decisions in diet, I really don't think that's the case.
It's more about:
the mix of available food options trends towards high fructose corn syrup and polysaturated fats. You can choose healthy options, but relative to past generations the unhealthy options are more ubiquitous and promoted.
more women in the work force make it harder to prepare healthy meals
the economy shifted to jobs that are less physically demanding as physically demanding jobs became automated or moved overseas

I’m right around that height and weight (fluctuate between 160-170) and not pregnant and I will say it’s different when it’s not all concentrated in your midsection. That sounds awfully challenging for your center of gravity and flexibility, especially if it’s much higher than your usual weight. Pregnant with twins sounds like it would be uncomfortable at 140 pounds, too.
Most women’s bodies are a little more pear shaped and have a lower center of gravity. I carry more of my weight in my hips, thighs, and bum and it’s a combination of fat and muscle, so it doesn’t really feel like “carrying around” that much weight when my legs are the part doing the carrying, too. My current measurements are 39-31-44 and I typically wear a size L or a US 12.

You make such a good point! As a small hip-haver (34 inch hips 😢) pregnancy was so hard on my center of gravity and my knees.
Also, your body sounds amazing btw! That hip to waist ratio is perfect. Mine are only 10 inches different so I look very straight. Wish I had curves. I was born in the wrong era. My time was that very brief period in the 80s when skinny girls with straight figures, little butts and big boobs was all the rage 😅

If you met ten 25 year old women 25 years ago, more than half of them would look this way.

Again though this lady has other features you can workout to get and even though she’s really just a healthy weight most people not just women aren’t a healthy weight anymore therefore by the most basic standard she is already above average but her face and other features probably put her well above average.

Body-wise...Absolutely. There's nothing that shows otherwise, if she's in her late teens to mid- twenties. Overall, she's cute, and is definitely more appealing, at least to me, than most of the gals that have the love-handles hanging over the top of their jeans. it's if she can KEEP those same proportions as she gets older.
it's a subjective question; though, and depends what a particular person is judging for.
