I have made my own index for muscularity of my Kepler Bb humanoids. It is a scale from -3 to 3 in which only 0-3 are based off of muscle mass directly.
-3 = Very fat, no muscles show
-2 = Fat, Massive muscles show
-1 = Slightly fat, most muscles show
0 = average muscle:fat ratio
1 = slightly muscular
2 = Muscular
3 = Very Muscular
The muscular humanoids are attractive to both sexes.
This is based off of appearance and indirectly, muscle mass.
Is this a good standard?
I am asking because when Robin, Lisa, and Alma start a civilization, one of the things they would be looking for is a positively skewed distribution. What I mean is that for all ages and thus general population, it is skewed more towards 3 than -3.
In other words like this:
Now I know this is an extreme I am showing here but I think it accurately shows what they are wanting(but at a much larger scale).
Now Alma has put some limits on who is allowed to be transported. Those are:
Minimum age 15(beginning of adolescence)
Not pregnant
Not having a young child(younger than 10)
1:1 sex ratio(To preserve monogamy and be more family orientated)
and
Not ill
I am not wanting to use BMI since that would add controversy as to whether a muscular man should be considered healthy or overweight. There is enough of that already in the real world.
And I am not wanting to use BVI(volumetric weight distribution) since again there is controversy since 2 people can have the same BVI but in different conditions.
So I figured that muscularity index would add the least controversy. But other than the controversy being low and it being a unique scale, is it a good standard?
Basically, I am nearing the point where a civilization forms and Robin, Lisa, and Alma give a long speech and presentation about the species itself, the civilization plan, and anything else that might be important. So I need to know if I should add this or whether I should make a different index based off of it. I mean 2 muscular people can have different degrees of muscularity in each of the major muscle groups. But is it okay the way it is or should I revise the index to take this into account?
