How To Calculate Your Ideal (Sexy) Body Weight Range

Dr. Casey Butt has done a brilliant job of finding a sexy weight range for men that women find attractive. You can check out his book. 1http://ww1.weightrainer.net/
Sexy Weight Range = Minimum Lean Body Weight: 23 * H 2 – Maximum Muscular Body Weight: 26 * H 2
In this equation, height (H) is in meters, and weight is in kilograms. You can convert feet and inches to meters here. 2www.feettometres.com
Let’s take an example of an individual who is 6 feet tall to illustrate this point better.
His sexy weight range, assuming his body fat is between 9% and 14%, would be.
23* [(1.83)(1.83)] – 26* [(1.83)(1.83)] = 23 (3.35) – 26 (3.35) = 77 kg – 87kg (170 – 192 lbs).
This sexy weight range came from a study by MJ Tovee funded by Newcastle University. 3https://www.researchgate.net/publication/13066910_Characteristics_of_male_attractiveness_for_women
In this study, thirty female undergraduates rated color pictures of 50 men in front view.
Waist-to-chest ratio (WCR), a measure of upper body shape; waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), a measure of lower body shape, and BMI were measured for each man.
Images were presented randomly, with each subject’s head and body obscured. Results showed that individually all three characteristics were contributors to attractiveness.
However, WCR was the principal determinant of attractiveness, accounting for 56 percent of the variance, whereas BMI accounted for only 12.7 percent of the additional variance.
WHR was not a significant predictor of attractiveness.
What this means in laymen’s terms is that the waist-to-chest ratio was a significant determinant of attractiveness. It’s based on the golden ratio, which I have explained in my article.

This also proves the fact that our very own Hercules, a.k.a Steves Reeves, was the most admired bodybuilder of the 20th Century (even though he will well outside the sexy weight range- 215lbs (97kg); height: 185 cm) as he has an awesome WCR (his chest was 49in and waist only a mere 29in)!
