WE ASKED MEN:
If you could change one part of your partner’s body, what would it be?
“I’d give her bigger hips for a curvy hourglass figure”
“Slimmer thighs – but only because that would make her happier, and I want her to be happy”
“I wouldn’t change my girlfriend. She’s perfect”
“Nothing. Everything works, she’s happy with it, I’m happy with it, why change?”

OK ladies, prepare to be amazed.
We asked thousands of you to tell us what you think about your body – which bits you like, which bits you don’t, and what you’d change if you could.
Just to make things fair, we asked the men too. And when the results came in, shock waves rippled through Fabulous HQ.
It seems men and women have very different ideas about the perfect female figure.
While women yearn for the waspish waist of a size 8 model, men hanker after a curvy size 12 with hips. Oh yes!
And that’s not all. It seems all that time spent staring at the mirror making mental checklists of everything we’d change is a waste of time.
When we asked men what they would alter about their partner’s appearance, the majority said they were perfectly happy, thank you very much.
In fact, the only thing they’d wish for is that we’d all love our bodies as much as they do.
So, come on girls – what are you waiting for? Let’s hear it for love handles, muffin tops and big bottoms.
Let’s embrace our bodies and start loving what we’ve got.
And for an extra boost, read the rest of our body-inspiring results.
