Is having an attractive physique important? why or why not? what dangers, if any, do you see in pursuing an ideal body type? what does an ideal body type for a man or a woman look like to you? what sources in your environment and social circles influence how you define ideal body type?

This mostly depends on who you would ask. some people would argue that it indeed isn't important to have an attractive physique as long as it is healthy, other would argue that it is important. this depends mostly on who you ask. when pursuing the ideal bodytype you could face suffering from bigorexia or from anorexia, depending on your goals. the ideal body type probably waries for each individual, so it's hard to answer this one. social circles and our environment definitely influence how we define our ideal body type as they are responsible for how we view ourselves and our bodies. 

In society today i find the media is very influencial in how we perceive someone as attractive or not. the media portrays women being thin beautiful, with make up, lovely shiny hair etc. and the dangers with this can be from a girl who doesnt have those certain attributes and in turn, turns to harmful methods or ways in order to achieve it for example anorexia to become thinner. many girls today have veryyy low self confidence due to either being put down for their looks by their social groups or for having their own issues with not looking like a "model" or such. an attractive person should go beyond the physical and personality should be taken into account. everyone has different tastes in the end so it is important to just be yourself and love your own body.

hope this a bit : )
