When we look at the physical appearance of an individual, the first thing that we gauge is his or her physique. Talking of frame, it is an undeniable fact that the height of an individual has a significant role to play here. There are individual pieces of clothing and accessories which suit only people with a certain range of height. Then, there comes the point of acceptance among members of the opposite sex. In this article, we shall talk about which height is ideal for a girl keeping in mind those above (and more) factors.
Now talking of the height of an individual, be it a girl or a boy, we have to realize that many other factors come to play. This would include their genetics and family history of heights, the environment they live in and the kind of physical activities they indulged in their growing up days. It is understandable that it is impossible for any individual to be in complete control of all these factors. Thus, in all fairness, it may not always be possible for a girl to attain the perfect height for herself. However, such height does exist, and that is what we shall discuss today.
When we say that the perfect height may not be attainable, we do not refer to just running short of that. Many a time, it is seen that girls often outgrow the perfect range and end up being taller than what they would like to be. Also, the definition of ‘perfect’ varies greatly.
Factors applicable to measure height of a ideal for a girl:
01. Geographical & Ethnic Differences:
Irrespective of the sex, people of specific regions are seen to be of better built as compared to that of their counterpart’s residing in other parts of the globe. This has a lot to do with the person’s ethnicity and the geographical conditions that she and her ancestors have been subjected.
The perfect height for girls in these regions is higher. For example, in North America, the built of people is on the larger side and there a good looking girl would be expected to have a height of 5’6″ to 5’9″. This is especially true in the case of women holding respectable positions at work where anything less than 5’8″ is deemed to be ‘not powerful enough.’ In other western countries, like that of the British and UK, people have shorter stature. In such a case a girl who is 5’5″ or 5’6″ is considered to be perfect enough.
02. Perfect Height in Terms Of Racial Choice:
Studies have revealed that the ideal height for women in France is 5’3″ while that in the Netherlands is 5’6″. The Chinese aren’t all that big built and the perfect height for women there would stand at mere 5’1″. The same can be said for other women of Oriental origin such as that of an Indonesian woman, the perfect height for whom stands at 4’8″. Indeed, the vast array of difference in terms of choice of perfect height for women emphasizes the fact that every woman is perfect in her way and that it is unfair to judge them by placing their bodies on a universal scale of measurement.
03. Perfect Height For The Indian Woman:
Indian women are generally taller than the Oriental women and shorter than the Western ones. In such a situation, the ideal height for them is somewhere between that prescribed for the cases as mentioned above. Here, a woman who is taller than 5’2″ and shorter than 5’8″ is perfect in her way. However, from an aesthetic point of view, the ideal height for an individual will significantly depend on her body structure, curves, etc.
Thus, instead of going by the figures prescribed on paper, you should try to look in the mirror and decide what is perfect for you. Once you come to terms with the fact that you are perfect in your current form, there will be no looking back. Not only will the confidence of the Indian woman increase manifold, but she will also be able to live a life that is way happier than her current one.
04. The Medical Explanation Of A Perfect Height:
Some medical practitioners have claimed that the best height for a woman is that of 5’5″.The reason for this is the fact that at such a height they will look tall enough while not encountering the problems that are associated with tall stature. Here, the issues would include delicate balance in old age, higher chances of back pain, and climatic conditions (like overheat) affecting them worse than that of an average being. However, there are no papers published with proof of this, and hence, at the moment, it is impossible for us to ascertain the validity of this medical hypothesis.
05. Perfection In Terms Of Dating:
In the world of dating, most men like it when their girl is shorter than them. Going by that logic, any woman who is above 6ft of height is considered to be less than ideal. Under that, any height will do as long as you find the perfect guy. The minimum bar in this definition of ideal height in terms of dating would be 5ft in most countries. In certain Oriental countries, this will go down to 4’7′ or 4’9′. That is because, although some men are known to have a fetish for shorter women, in no culture would one want to date a Lilliput.
06. Perfection Lies In The Eyes Of The Beholder:
Having assimilated so much data on the definition of a perfect height of a girl, I have come to realize that perfection lies more in how you carry yourself and the way the person in front of you views you and less on your physical height. Many women have a not-so-perfect height, and yet they take themselves with so much grace that everyone around them finds them to be immensely pretty. Similarly, because of the way they sell themselves and their choice of clothing and accessories, some girls with perfect height do not appear beautiful at all. At the end of the day perfection and beauty come down to how well you carry yourself and that is what matters.
