    I have quite a few pictures of females at different BF%. I will have to put a pictorial together sometime. I have body comped hundreds of them and have found +6% is usually pretty accurate. In other words a man at 12% will have a very similiar conditioning look as a female at 18%. The +6% tends to go down the leaner they get (5% man=10% woman) and goes up the more fat they carry.
