A lot of the times, I go on chat GBT to ask what my body type is. Sometimes it’s quite random. It goes from pear shape, hourglass to rectangle.
But the answer I get the most is rectangle. I will likely delete my post once I get my answers but does my body appear to be a rectangle shape?

I've just deleted the pictures off this post as they could lead to potential triggering content, for you or for other people as well. I was also a little concerned about how many people would have access to those pictures if they remained online.
I understand you're interested in your body image and body shape, it's completely normal to wonder how we are perceived by others, I'm just wondering how the responses from others would have made you feel?
Obviously, I would love an honest response from others. But I would feel quite down if I found out I had a rectangular body shape, since most men would consider it as manly and unattractive for a woman to have a figure like that.
I’m dying for some male approval and if im stuck with a body shape which I can’t change, then it would mean that no man will ever love me due to my permanent body shape.
I'm hearing that whilst you want to know what others think, certain responses would make you feel quite upset with your body based on if it was perceived as attractive or not.
It makes sense to be curious with what other people think of you, but I'm also wondering how this would impact how you feel about yourself and your own body?
Many different people experience attraction and love in many different ways. Often some people find certain things more appealing than other people. Do you think all men would find specific body types more attractive than others?
Is how you look more important than everything else that you'd bring to the table within love and relationships?
I don’t know why I keep getting different answers from chat gbt when I don’t change the camera angles, but oh well 🤷♀️
I do believe that our attractions to certain bodies can be heavily influenced by the media. The most popular body shape right now is an hourglass. Obviously you can’t control what you’re attracted to, and I don’t want to force people to be attracted to me. I just feel bad for not meeting that standard.
I 100% agree that there are more important aspects that can build a healthy relationship, this could include:
•sharing similarities/interests whilst not letting their differences fault their relationship
•being comfortable enough to express themselves without judgement
•allowing each other to be vulnerable and greet them with love, support and empathy
•being able to work through conflicts.
But because we are overly exposed to beautiful people in the media, our beauty standards rises higher and higher. Hence, they are considered the most important aspect in a relationship. Although it’s unfair, there’s nothing anyone can do to change that fact.
All I need to do is to continue to work on myself and hope for the best.
I know it’s hard but others opinions don’t matter about your body, it’s about how YOU feel about it and what you feel about it. I know it’s easy to want other’s opinions and that’s okay but your body is your body and it’s what you choose for it to be (obviously whilst staying healthy)
How do you feel about your body?
