Time for a reality check, UD.

We are bombarded with images of the "ideal" bodies; to be desirable we must be tall, tan and totally toned.

But let's be honest-how many people on this campus, or even in the world, really fit this description?

We decided to survey the campus to try and figure out what UD truly finds sexy. The results? Sad, but not exactly shocking.

There is a whole money-making industry devoted to women trying to give men what they want. Sure, you can argue that women dress a certain way and wear makeup to empower themselves, but our survey begs to differ.

While the students polled agreed on some characteristics as being most important (the face), they greatly differed on the second most (girls thought a flat stomach is sexiest, whereas guys really like a good pair of legs).

No girls thought that guys would find glasses sexy, yet a respectable amount of guys polled found them attractive or at least weren't against them.

In addition, the ladies seemed to think that guys prefer shorter girls, when in reality they strongly preferred women over 5'4".

The point of all of this is that we have a pretty skewed perception of what the opposite sex wants. We are inundated with Playboy bunnies and Victoria's Secret Angels. Big boobs and curvy backsides rule the media and our images of ourselves.

What the survey confirmed, however, is that women have higher physical expectations of themselves than men do. Women focus on the push up, the slim down, and the all-around Cover Girl package.

Why is it that the chicks are tarting themselves up to meet standards that don't even exist?

There is a stigma that every chick must shrink herself to fit into a size two pair of Gap jeans, yet our surveys were littered with comments from guys claiming that they love a woman with curves.

Major disconnect, anyone?

One of the most popular factors that guys find attractive was confidence. Conforming to unrealistic expectations is not a way to show self-assurance. Rather, it is refueling the cycle of unhealthy images.

Girls, take some pride in yourself and be who YOU want to be, not what you see plastered on billboards.
