 In Portugal the perfect woman's body is seen to be very petit: small in height, very slim in width, with very little curves. Slimness here is admired far more than a curvy figure and large breasts and butt. Brunettes are usually considered the ideal type with bouncing beach waves.

Hips are preferred straighter, and breasts and butts are preferred to be flatter and smaller. This beauty standard is very much about achieving that kind of cat walk model look that you see in magazines.

It's not exactly easy to achieve all of these things together, Albanian beauty expectations are extremely high.

Image source/ BBCIn Uganda the dream woman's body is very much focused in the curvier the better. Large hips are a thing of beauty and a woman is not desired to be slim. Rather, it is seen more attractive if a woman is carrying extra weight even if in some countries this would be perhaps considered 'overweight'.

In fact it is not uncommon for women to try and look a lot younger, as though they are still girls. A slim body with no carried weight or larger areas is seen as attractive .

Image source/ huffpostIn Russia, the ideal male body style begins with flowing blonde locks, apparently - and mid to long length hair at that. There's also a focus on having big muscles, and especially big biceps, in a more stocky fashion with wider shoulders. It looks like a tan is also a plus!

Image source/ huffpostYou might be surprised at this one if you associate Australian males with that cliché blonde surfer boy look, while apparently it's shorter brown hair that's the in-thing. For Australia, it's apparently not that toned beach look either that you might expect from female body types - it looks like what you might call a Dad Bod.

Image source/ huffpostWhile Egypt makes up for the lack of muscles in Australia! Here we have a very chiselled ab look, with stocky, muscled legs and wide shoulders. The focus on the muscles seems to be more on the chest and abs rather than the arms, though - and dark facial hair is a plus, too.

Image source/ huffpostIt's no surprise that in the United States there's a huge focus on that muscled gym bod when these sunkissed fellas are so concerned with working out. There's a big focus on muscles for both the arms and the chest, as well as the abs of course. Styled hair and some facial hair completes the look.

Their physique still looks toned but it's more on the stocky side, with hefty legs and thinner arms! Facial hair for men is in fashion in this country, too.

Image source/ huffpostFor Croatia, it seems they have a very similar preferred body type for men to Colombia, in terms of lack of toned abs and lack of muscles. But looking at Croatia, there's a very subtle difference in weight, with Croatia looking a tiny bit on the thinner side, and with less fat on the arms!

Image source/ huffpostIn China, you'd expect a lot less baby fat around the face for men, with a slimmer look on the face and neck in particular. Height seems to be more important here, with long trimmed legs and a slimmer frame. There doesn't seem to be any focus on toned abs or torso muscles, though.

Image source/ huffpostFor Bangladesh, we're definitely back to more meat on the face, framed with dark facial hair and shorter hairstyle! Back to a dad-bod sort of look, in Bangladesh it's more a little extra weight on the chest and stomach, but still looks in shape with a more rectangle-like outline!

Image source/ huffpostIt seems that this dark-short-hair-with-dark-stubble look is a universally popular thing when it comes to men's ideal look! In Pakistan, there's a very obvious focus on more meaty arms, larger hands and wide shoulders, while the rest seems like toned (but not muscly) abs and strong thighs.

Image source/ huffpostFor Indonesia, it seems we have a small hint at an hourglass shape where the body is brought in a tad at the waist! Around this, it's a generous stomach with a tiny overhang, and slimmer arms all the way to the shoulders. There doesn't seem to be any focus on muscles at all!

Image source/ huffpostNigeria is loving that strong arm and strong leg look for their men. Their arms obviously show the effects on the sun being out all day. For the torso, it's once again that average dad-bod with a little bit of a paunch, and extra meat around the chest area! Nothing wrong with that.

Image source/ huffpostThe Philippines definitely has a focus on a very toned and small abdomen, but surprisingly that slim look doesn't apply to every area of the body! Well the stomach is very flat and pulled-in with visible washboard, you then see a wider shoulder width with bigger arms at the top.

You can see some extra definition around the 'moob' area with wide shoulder width and hefty arms! But the waist is toned and straight without any overhang. Stocky seems to be the rage!

The muscles on the thighs are clearly defined, while the stomach reveals a very obvious washboard with toned pecs, too. The neck is muscular and slim, too, with facial hair defining the jawline.

The legs are on the bigger side, with strong and defined thighs, while the abdomen shows a hint of toned muscle structure without overdoing it! There's focus on toning-up the abs, too, while the arms and the neck are on the less-toned side.

As you'd expect when macho is the desired look, there's a huge importance on defined muscles, particularly around the abs, and a strong, muscly male figure - who's easy on the eyes, too!
