Measure for my beauty

A callipar defines
the percent of fat residing under my skin.
Ward off my confidence,
just after a measure of 3 inches.
Hail! Hail! A callipar reigns.

A measuring tape rates
the ratio for my bust, waist and hip.
Pass the 3:2:3,
or risk being casted in a corset tied stiff.
Hail! Hail! A measuring tape reigns.

A machine weighs the matter in me,
regardless of bones, liquid muscles and meat.
It's all fat and blubber? couldn't be..
Please, would you knock some sense into me?

Make calculations with BMI (Bringing More Insanity),
That drives skinny ladies to a grin
with a less than fifteen.

Is beauty mere numbers or ratios?
Just as intelligence is seen.

Speaking of beauty...I suppose some definition of beauty is what first attracts one to another, but after, I find myself finding on or two favorite things about someone I like...that seems different than others...and attracts me to them...James

I don't think intelligence can be seen, rather it can be demonstrated or measured. One can, however, read the mesurement on a caliper.
I like premise of your work, though

An interesting write.
The measurement of any individual
should only be of his/her actions and deeds,
things that are impossible to measure by any physical devices.
