WHR: a different view

okay, it might be that not all of you are concerned about your waist-to-hip ratio but I know I am a bit body dysmorphic so I often worry about things I shouldn't :) But this is not really a worry, more like an interesting observation what I'd like to share with you.

This ratio is counted from circumferences, but I was wondering if this is what really matters. Because what we see from a female shape is from the front or from the back. And for this, the whr should be measured from the width of the waist and of the hip.

I checked out some really curvy-looking topmodels' whr counted this way and they all came out around 0.75 and even mine is 0.76 which is strange because they look feminine from the front and me not :) but these are the numbers anyway.

So having this whr at 0.75 and a regular whr at 0.7 (mine is 0.81), this essentially means that these models have a very thin waist when looking from the sides and they have good back projection as well. Unfortunately I haven't found pictures showing their sides so I couldn't make any measurements but one can calculate it easily it from the normal whr and the regular one.

I admit this is nothing new, but thought I just say that whr is not everything when it comes to a nice female shape.

If you want, you can post your measurements here (I'm curious as always) but to be honest I don't want to start another thread like that, there are enough already :) I'm more interested in what you think about this.

 I have a 7 inch difference between my waist and hips ,my ratio is 0.81 and apparently I need to lose and inch to be healthy.I think that measurements are just part of the equation.You have to consider the frame and the height as well.
