I would prefer to be a female at 50%.
Currently I'm between the 45&50% ones.
My ideal is the 35% one. Anything less than that makes me look sick.
Guy wise, while i think the 15% looks the hottest, I tended to avoid that type (except once). I prefer a bit of cushion in the arms before feeling the hard muscles. But not flabby. I prefer the kind of body that is built from and used to physical work rather than an impractical physique obtained through the gym.
+1
Looking hot incidentally makes it seem much more masculine.
I prefer the rugby player build with a beer belly - muscular but with a nice layer of body fat.
I had my body fat measured at 10% about four years ago. Although I ate a really clean diet, I still think there was some error since there were none of the effects you would expect from it. And I was wiry but definitely not ripped like that picture. I tried to dough up a bit and am probably more around 20% now - it's hard to go on the pictures. I don't really care what I am, as long as I don't die first in a famine.
Using this calculator: http://www.calculator.net/body-fat-calculator.html my body fat is 23% - and the pics don't seem too far off for an estimate. I'm happy with it.
I like the 15-25 for dudes.
I'm probably in 20%... Cuz my butt.
i like 15% in guys the most. no idea how anyone could find pics before that attractive at all, they're gross :X
I think I'm around 9% fat so yeah, something like the 10-12 guy.
I like the 20-22% bodyfat pic the best for females, and I'm about 23-24%, I think. I could stand to tone-up a bit.
I don't look like any of these people o_O I'm an impossible body type!
I'm closest to the 25% female and quite good there. The one below it is pretty good too, as is the one above. I think as long as I'm in the 20-30 range I'd be happy.
As for the guys, 10-20% is a good range. That 15% guy is probably the nicest. The ones below him make me think of boring clean eating and hours at the gym. I'd rather have a more relaxed guy than that.
I'm like 25-30ish I guess.
Idk.
I'm quite happy with my weight tbh. I could lose a few lbs sure, and definitely tone up...but I think the lowest I'd go is 20%. I think my ideal weight would be a toned 120 lbs, and right now I'm a non-toned 128 lbs. :p
As far as guys, 15-20% seems good.
females: 15-17% is my ideal. It's hard to say where I am because for some reason weight gain or loss doesn't affect my microscopic boobs at all. The wild guess is 25%
males: between 15-20% is good, less than 15 look like plastic and more than 20 is too fat.
I guess I belong to the 20% category (perhaps less, but not very muscular, anyway). The women with 20-35% look most attractive to me.
I'm at 35% (female), going down to the 30% would be nice.
As far as the men go, 15-25% ftw.
i'm not shallow i only care about person's inner beauty cos every1s beautiful within derp
about 35%-40%.
these women have different body types besides just the weight so its not an easy call. i have smaller arms and thighs but a squishy stomach and i'm bigger than the 30%.
i think 30% is the best looking but part of that is the lighting, her muscle tone, her natural body curves, etc.
the guys in the middle row look the best to me. the 35% is okay with the distribution of it.
oh hmmm... interesting. So i had a browse. Took this test to calculate body fat percentage...
http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/
says 26.99 but i'm sure i'm more as am short and it does not request height, my bmi was calculated as 25 at the clinic which is borderline between average and overweight.
Actually i think there is a danger in these tests, gross miscalculations can be made etc. I think it's not hard to tell by the way you look and how much energy you have etc.
I found more pics. The overly muscley people are incredible to look at... seem alienish... i don't think i could find that attractive... i'm not even sure it's accurate... Bruce Lee famously had an almost non existant percentage of body fat...guesses between 1%-5%

The pictures only seem to account for people from average weight to obese... not from underweight/slight build.
I'm going to eat everyone else for dinner and then have ALL the bmis
Try this one: http://www.calculator.net/body-fat-calculator.html It has height.
Well... according to one of those BMI calculators I'm 17.4% body fat, but that lady looks quite a bit thicker than me. The one Gem posted is actually a lot closer to my body type.
I think the 15% male looks the best.
I'm somewhere between 25 and 30%.
As for guys, I sometimes go for really skinny ones... the types that bruise the insides of your thighs. O__o
I think I'm a 25% for gals and I like the 20% for guys.
On Geminatronix's I'd say I'm 17-18% and like 14-15%.
And @Geminatronix, this is the one I use: http://home.fuse.net/clymer/bmi/
I don't like bmi, but this one also gives a height to waist ratio, body fat%, and bmr.
However, a better calculator would be one that included height with wrist or neck. Wrist would be better, though. Using the wrist, an approximate bone density is calculated based on light thin bones up to the heavier thick bones. But one of the easy ways to check that is to take the thumb and middle finger of one hand and wrap it around the wrist of the other. If they significantly overlap, you've got the thin light bones. If they touch or barely overlap, it's medium avg bones. And if they can't touch, then it's the thicker heavier bones.
Though, personally, I agree that what's more important is the person's overall general health, and not their numbers. Numbers are just good for checking for minor changes as an objective feedback thing, but even better is checking for minor changes in specific health related issues.
Probs 10%-12% or whereabouts; I took a video still of me running through a vocal take, I set it as my avatar for fucking everything because it looks like I'm screaming nonstop, don't even gotta bust out the caps lock no more:

Oh hah, that one puts me at 25.9% body fat, the one posted before put me at 26.9 with the wrist measurement but interestingly idid the finger thumb test and they don't meet (really close to meeting, just shy). This would explain why people of larger body build appear to weigh less. E.g i went to the gym with a friend of mine approx the same height but she has more fatty mass... my measurements on waist and hips were significantly smaller yet i seemed to weigh notably more.
attracted more to females at 20-25 percent.
They all look the same to me, except fatter and thinner
BF calculators suck? Eh haven't checked those ones - unless they are for skinfold calipers, although I think they are +/- 2% accuracy.
i got a pair of skinfold calipers, then I realised the mirror worked better, then I realised elasticated waistlines worked the best
just got tested. 10% body fat, but I was dehydrated so that number is probably lower
Female, most attractive: 25%
Male, most attractive, 15-20%
