I don't condone obesity frizzle, but there's a difference between obesity and being womanly, the average size now in Britain is a size 16 yet you get one size above this and you're hard pressed to find fashionable clothes. If someone's a healthy size it doesn't matter if they're bigger than the holy grail size 10, but we shouldn't encourage extremes at either end of the scale.
Well I don't know what the BMI to dress size conversion rate is, but it does seem being overweight is more accepted then being anorexic.
We are talking about beautifull full figured women. Nothing to do with being overweight.Well I don't know what the BMI to dress size conversion rate is, but it does seem being overweight is more accepted then being anorexic.
It may just be me but at 5'11", 165lbs I have a hard time being attracted to a girl that weighs more than me no matter how she carries it. Even a girl that is 5'4", 140lb is too much for me. Idk personal preference I guess. Some like blonds.
In very strict terms, looking just at height and weight, your BMI at 5'11" and 165 pounds isn't all that much different from a girl who is 5'4" and 140 pounds. From a medical standpoint if you're just looking at weight and height, she's just as fit as you are. As it is, it's very possible that this woman you're describing is in much better shape than you are if you look at other factors.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander and all that...
We may have the similar BMI but woman statistically have 7-8 % higher body fat content according to medical standards. They need a higher fat content to support reproduction (even if they never want kids) That's perfectly fine if the girl has the same healthy build, but not if she doesn't exercise. Said woman will have little muscle and her body fat % will be higher even though she weighs the same... being that muscle weighs more than fat. She'll be the same weight but will not be as fit. Personally I'm not into a woman who doesn't take care of herself which takes a healthy diet and exercise.
It's just sad to me that average in this country (US) is chubby. Shouldn't average be fit.
I suggest that you use a Body Fat % test to determine relative fitness. I know this isn't perfect either but it's far less flawed than a BMI. Being that it takes more physical measurements, accounts for gender, age and race.Most people who use the Met Life tables don't realize that they should specify their height while wearing "1 inch heel shoes". There are MANY websites using these tables that neglect to point this out.
The tables were designed for adults aged 25 to 59 years. They are certainly not suitable for children, and their usefulness in young adults is dubious. ( Remember that the tables were based on data collected by Life Insurance companies, and not many young adults have life insurance.)
The tables give reasonable results for people whose stature (tallness) is slightly shorter than the average, but the table results are poor for very short people, and particularly poor for tall people. This is illustrated in the following chart. The Met Life "medium frame" weight range is illustrated as a light blue or pink color. The median weight at each increment of height is the solid black line. Notice that they don't match in slope. For very tall men and women, the Met Life tables suggest impossibly low weights.

The heights and weights of Men and Women are gradually increasing over time. People are slightly taller and heavier now, than they were in 1979. As population tallness increases, more and more people will discover the problems with the Met Life tables.
In light of the above problems, I believe the Metropolitan Life tables of height and weight should not be recommended for setting a target goal for weight-loss, unless you happen to be just below average height for your Gender.
BBW's are happy, but always dieting
BBW's can get any man they want, but rarley have LTR's last beyond a year
Fat is not healthy, psychologically or physically.
These obesity love fests on Oprah and online are not helpful. Ask any young woman who has lost weight, how different her life became when she was thinner.
Some believe there are men who actually want a long term, loving relationship. A horny man will say as much, but as time passes, he will become more and more irate, unless he himself is also obese....
Less self-esteem excercises, more real excercise. Less ice cream consumption, more green veggies.
I know as some of you are reading this, the back of your neck is burning with rage, you stomach is churning with anger, and you are readying your self to give me a flaming I'll never forget, go for it, but I hope I punched through your shield of delusion. If you take action, your life can be better sooner than you could imagine... if not, 5 years from now, you will still be obese, flaming every asshole that writes what I write.... and ten years from now, still in the same situation, angrily telling off us shithead cocksuckers how happy you really are, and how miserable and pathetic and shallow we must really be.
but many women who fall in the BBW category are 160-175 pounds and aren't unhealthy.
Thick is fine but very few woman can pull this off.
Somebody needs to rain on this parade, and its raining in seattle, so I will share it.
I have noticed, BBW's are proud to be big, but post pictures of themselves online that make themselves look as thin as possible

I have met obese women, who thought they were hot... no kidding, one said she was a "9" because she had a beautiful face, and I was a "7". If you are 250 lbs or heavier, you are a "3" or less.

Which leads to my final point, if fat is beautiful, why do fat men want fit women, and fat women want fit men?
