Endomorph refers to a body type originally described as soft and round, or overweight.
Endomorph is a term that is sometimes used in psychology to describe body type, particularly in the context of research on physical attractiveness and attractiveness stereotypes. Endomorph is one of three body types that are often used to classify people based on their physical characteristics, with the other two being ectomorph and mesomorph.
Endomorphs are typically characterized as having a rounder, softer body shape, with a higher percentage of body fat and a lower percentage of muscle mass. Endomorphs may also be more prone to gaining weight, and may have a harder time losing weight compared to people with other body types.
There are many factors that can contribute to an endomorphic body type, including genetics, diet, and exercise habits. In psychology, research on endomorphic body type and attractiveness may examine how people's perceptions of physical attractiveness are influenced by societal standards and how these standards may vary across cultures.
