Curved saddle - which part to level?

The stock saddle that came with my bike is a Giant Approach and it's one of those curved types where the rear flares up. If I want to set it level, do I measure the sitting area near the center or the front? Here's a picture of the saddle with the center part close to level:



As you may see, doing so puts the nose of the saddle ever so slightly upward. Is this by design? On the other hand, if I level the nose of the saddle with the ground, I find myself gravitating towards the front (probably because the flared rear gets more pronounced).

Any advice? Should I get a flat saddle?
