A human of extraordinary attractiveness. Key characteristics are body proportion, symmetry, moral fiber, a high level of functional fitness, and overall intelligence.
'Perfect' - in that nothing need be added or taken away; beauty derived from unity and
wholeness.
'Specimen' - in that the individual has qualities, mannerisms, style or ways of thinking that others naturally notice and try to emulate
Contrary to popular belief, perfect specimens do not possess specific body types or facial features, etc - as this falsely implies that there is only one way of being perfect. (This is why combining
Megan Fox's face, Kim Kardashian's breasts, and
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's legs would look unnatural - visually striking maybe, but not truly compelling)
Perfect specimens often inspire feelings of awe, intimacy, mesmerization, and love, or alternatively fear, jealousy, envy and hatred.
"There's just something about him...he's like a perfect
specimen"
"She's
got it all - looks,
smarts, talent. What a perfect specimen!"
